All wheelmen who will accompany the

that's what professional wheelmen say.
For five years whenever they started
out for records, and Willis Il. Troy. the
well known trainer-manager, appears
on the scene, their plans have unvari-
ably gone wrong. On this account We
suppose. Z. c. Stearns & Company. of
Syracuse. have engaged Troy to take n
StearnS team across the water,
where Eek and johnson are at present
cutting great figure in racing circles.
Troy will sail for France about the
last of this month, taking with him
Charley Murphy. Harry Wheeler and
Earl kiZer. a speedy Frenchman whose
name Troy refuses to divulge, will be
added TO the team upon its arrival on
the other side. The team Is certainly
a fast one, and Troy says they will "eat
johnson up" which Is much easier said
than done. The bicycle racing element
in this country will watch the result
of this fracas with much interest.
Robinson street. the only approach to
the West Side which can be used by
wheelmen, could be put in passable con-
dition at very little expense. This
street is always very muddy In the
damp season, the only remedy for
which is a pavement, but during dry
weather. such as we have had for two
weeks, the road could be made very
rideable If the big stones, which lay
loosely on the surface of the street,
and which make wheeling very danger
;ous, both by day and night. were re-
moved. Councilman Seamans of the
Thirteenth ward has had all the loose
stones which lay on the streets of his
ward removed and has filled up all the
uneven places in the streets with Gin
ders so that wheeling in that section
is a pleasure. by removing the loose
stones on Robinson street (many Of
which are as big as watermelons) the
wheelmen would not be the only ones
benefited thereby. but also the owners
of vehicles who are obliged to drive on
that thCrOughfare. Remove the stones,

Not Extinct, They May Again Drive
Away and Kill Deer.
The killing of a giant gray wolf at
Gull Lake by George Muir last June
excited considerable wonder. but since
then two more have been killed, one
not far from Brandreth Lake, and the
other in Saranac woods. says the New
York World. Long ago these fierce
animals had been classified among the
rumors or campfire gossip about large
animals seen by the baChwoOdsmen
and thought TO be wolves We're regard
ed as mere idle tales. The creatures
seen were set down as stray deer
hounds. and no one for a moment be-
lieyed a living wolf was surviving in
the now cut-up and cleared north
woods. Besides the wolves actually
killed. there are reports of others seen
by reliable men which tend to show IN
increase in numbers. II is far from i'm
probable under the present conditions
that, within the lives of men now mid
dle-aged, the wolves will have return
ed to their old haunts in considerable
numbers. Unquestionably the reason
why these hungry chaps fOrsook the
Adirondacks was a lack of food. Deer
the principal article of diet, had been
nearly eyterminated. The wolves
themselves, even unassisted by hunt
ers. soon depOpulate a forest by their
gluttonOus destruction of weaker ami
mails. 1t has been so in New Hamp-
shire and Vermont in early times, and
III Maine within the memory of living
men. Here in our state the eXterTii

man hands assisted. In the wilder, I'M
tracked parts of the forest the deer
were devoured by wolves, and the
survivors of herds We're driven out in

where the hunters mercilessly slew the
last ones in sight. This went on until
Just prior to the enactment of i'm

ment of vast preserves when there
were very, very few deer left in the
woods It was then that the gray
wolves, seeing prospects OF starvation
ahead, took up their trail for the north,
Stories are yet told of drOyes of wolves
seen by settlers moving toward the
Canadas. where undoubtedly they
again settled down.
Now things are different. Clubs in
dividuals, the state itself, have lent
earnest hands to the protection of
game, and deer are now more plenty
than they have been for twenty years
past. But the recent killing of wolves
shows that the big gray rascals are
becoming aware of better times and
are returning.
