IN the cycling world activity increases
with the progress of tho season. The set.

all parts Of tho country has brought out
all tho wheeling forces--voterans and re-
cruits. AS an athletic sport bicycling was
never so popular as ID IL this year.
The fests of the experts are given wide
circulation after each event, but many Of

climbing contests wero all the go with
wheclmen, and many Of the records made
then stand to this day. When the low
frames were first introduced, there were
large numbers Of ordinaries in use, and 1t
was then plainly apparent that the new In
vention greatly excelled the awkward ma
chino that soon passed into disuse. The
reckless riders Of tho early days Of cycling
coas:ed down the steop inclines with tho
speed Of the wind and hazarded life and
limb on the enterprise Accidents were
numerous, for the reason that the smallest
stone or rut was sufficient to hurl the rider
from his high seat, and not without severe
injury But those days have passed-with
the ordinary. Today interest stf1l centers
In coasting, and during the present year

people enjoy 1t than has characterized any
harmless sport that may be found In the

regarding the best means to be employed

One enthusiastic coaster has been max

further discoveries, and il Is not unlikely
that very soon tho practice of putting the

accident which warned her against the
wiles of the interviewer. II happened
many q year aga. Miss Rehan was one
OF the guests at reception where she met
a newspa per man, who turned out TO be
q most engaging companion In conversa-
tion. The actress Is an uncommonly IN
teresting talker herself, and In this
worthy she met her match. Both OF them
discussed various topics frankly and wit
tily, and Miss Rehan thought no more
about the matter until she was borrihed
TO discover her csndidly expressed opin-
ions printed in the paper. Then Ada
Rehan registered q vow and Augustin
DAILY another that no newspaper person
should "interview" her second time.
That agreement has been vigorously kept.
The only American actress who IL not
eager TO see her opinions in print is the
leading woman of Days. A youngster is
not more terrified of tho bocy man than
Miss Rehan is shy of q reporter. No
newspaper people have ever penetrated
into her dressing room or her house.
Nor, generally speaking, their opinions
either.
MIR. DaIyis exceedingly careful to guard
his leading woman's nerves against the
occasional assaults OF the critics, and in
this country, at least, Miss Rohan reads
only the pleasant things that are written
about her work. Her closest friend among
our critics is William Winter, who has
done much to increase her reputation.

Everything is now in full swing at
Boyden's Crescent Park. There seems to
be something OF nearly everything down
there TO make a visit pleasant and
days stay agreeable. "The Mandarin
Zune" in the floating Palace Theater has
been frightened up with the introduc-
tion OF vaudeville features and comedy
lovers will find hat the comic opera
has been much improved. This was TO be
excited after Mr.. Reeves and Mr.. Gilbert
had sized up the situation and put the
fiuIshing touches to the opers. Now there
is no better entertainment in this particu-
lar in New England.
There are many other things besides
sThe Mandarin Zune'' TO claim popular
attention. BrighG>>as singing orchestra

the chutes Will be a great feature and
the band concerts are unexcelled in this
vicinity. Three concerts will be given

Miss Ethel Balch, prima donna soprano
of the opera company, and Mr.. W. III.

FIqurINa AT TIE PIER.

AT NarragPnsett Pier last evening the
sporting fraternity witnessed a series OF
boxing contests In Tally-ho Han, that
were amusing, scientific and spirited.
Six ROUNDS were fouRht between ed
Hughes OF Providence, and II. Murphy OF
the same city. Both men fought hard,
apparently well matched. In the second
aud third rounds Hughes brought blood.
The advantage Of the fight was mutual
ly given Hughes, although II was con-
stdercd n draw, both men remaining on
their feet during six rounds.
Christie Mack OF Providence aud Billy
Jsckssn, colored. OF the Pier, faced each
other; but Mack demonstrated TO the
dnrsey in two short rounds that he had
met his superior. lhe hght WAS awarsod
TO Mack.
The bout OF the greatest interest was
between station Abbott, o noted Eng
lish prize nghler, and Johnny Young, a
BROOKLYN champion. Both men have
national fame. About two weeks nco
they fought a draw fight ia Albany. n.
", and after ter molly contested rounds
the referee rendered a similsr decienn.
Abbott was clevss IN docEng and I'm
jumping out OF the way of Noung's
llows; but hit lightly. On the other
hand Young struck heavy, quick and
SEEMED stronger in rush. IN tho third
round Young discovered Abbott's dodge,
and met him twice In the face. Roth
m,u showed remarkable science; half
the blows were wardsd OF. Young,
