BAY RIDGE.
Extensive improvements Have Been Made
for the Coming Seas0n-Transporta-
tion to be Rsduced-Some of the
Changes Made There.

Many Improvements have been made
at Bay Ridge for the season of 1896, and
there is every prospect that thousands of
pleasure-seekers will enjoy the cool breeZ-
es at this most popular resort. Carpen-
teTs have been engaged in remodeling sew
eral buildings and making other needed
improvements.
The shell-formed grand stand, where
the orchestra in former years discoursed
concert music, has been removed and a
pavilion, umbrella-shaped, has been put
up. The new structure will furnish a
full and unobstructed view and prove
an attractive and novel feature. Special
attention has been paid TO the culinary
department, thus atf0rding ample accom-
modations to patrons of the cafe and the
hotel dining-room. Meals Will be served
more expeditiously in both the dining
room and the cafe. The chef will pay
special attention TO these departments
The lunch counters have also been great
ly enlarged. In order TO accomplish this,
tie quarters have been removed To the
western side of the pavilion.
A new sewerage system has been in
troduced ~at great expense. This will
contribute largely to the sanitary Tegula-
tiOnS about the grounds. The lawns,
groves and fields have been and are be-
ing greatly enlarged and beautified at
great expense; paViliOns, rustic houses,
and other attractions are being put into
position. The shaded groves have been
cleared in anticipation of the approach
ing season. The Ferris wheel, merry
go-round, gravity road, electric railway,
toboggan slide and many other amuse-
ments will be in full blast The tObOg.
gan slides have been heightened and new
and novel slides will be run on wheels
in course of construction.
Many improvements are being made
to the beach. Fancy bathing suits are
being added, and a noticeable feature
will he the improved lighthouses, with
their numerous improved accommOda-
tiOns. The management of the BayRidge
Company have decided TO reduce the price
OF transportation from Baltimore by the
steamer to this popular resort TO twen-
ty-tive cents. For many years past they
have conveyed vast number of those
seeking The cooling breezes of the Chesa-
peake Bay to this popular resort. In
order to increase the number of visitors
the price has been reduced, thus afford
ing those unable to enjoy the advantage
OF bay trip at the usual expense, one
at half the price. Many have already
signified their intention of taking in the
trips. The Columbia is now undergoing
extensive repairs. When completed the
Columbia will be second to none in her
complete arrangement for the excursion
season. The season will open this year
on Decoration Day, May 30th.

one Hundred Appointments TO he
Made Engineers Break Down.
There is an unusually large number
of vacancies this year ut the United
States Naval Academy, and those men,
bers Of Congress entitled to appoint
ments are now being notified by the
Navy Department, with the request that
the names of their candidates aud alter
mates be sent in without delay. Under
the law members must be notified im-
mediately after March 4th of each year
OF cadetships belonging to them at the
Naval Academy. aud nominations must
he made before May 18th, when the ex.
aminations are held. This year probably
over one hundred candidates and an equal
number of alternates are expected TO re-
port for the MAY examination, among
them being two MARYLAND boys, one from
the sixth and another from the second
districts. The President has but one APP
pointment at large this year, which he
will make in the next few days.
Following his policy in dealing with
appointments Of cadets to the govern
ment schools, the President Will noml-
nate this year the son of either some
army or naval officer for the Naval Acad-
envy cadetship, and it is known that he
is already having great difficulty in max
ing the selection, owing TO the large num-
Der of applicants and the influences at
work in their behalf. The cadetship at
West Point has been flied, and the can
didates appeared early this month for
examination. The law which gives the
Secretary of the Navy power to select
candidates from congressional districts
that have not been filed prior to July lst
has led Congressman entitled toappOiut-
ments to make nominations promptly,
and this MAY it is expected that a candl-
date for every vacancy existing in the
country will report at the Academy for
examination. Vacancies remaining af-
ter this will be filled by nominations in
time for the September examination.
The frequent collapse of engineer Off
GERS of the navx, attributable to hard
work resulting from insufficient force,
promises, if not remedied, to bring about
the anomalous state of affairs that the
retired list of the corps Will soon become
larger than the active list. On January
1st, 1886, there were 22l officers on the
active list of the engineer corps and IL
on the retired list, 80. per cent. as many
on the retired as on the active list. On
January lst, 1896, there were l73 on the
active and 104 on the retired list, or GO
per cent. as many on the retired list as
on the active list, In other words the
percentage of retired to active officers
has almost doubled during the past ten
years, covering the period of the up
building of the navy.

HINTS FOR BICYcLRRs.
The Causes of Fatigue la Riding aud Ho
10 Avoid IL.

The Causes of Fatigue ia Riding aud How
Go Avoid tt.
When the vigorous bicycle rider finds
himself more fatigued than his appar-
emily Trailer brother rider, after AN equal
amount of work, he should inquire into
the cause for the effect. Here are some
hints that may help you out: "Often
riders have the saddle too far forward oI
too far back for the thrust necessitated
by the cranks. When the thrast goes
behind the hip there is an undue strain
upon the muscles on the other side of the
thigh: when it goes too far forward the
muscles on the top of the thigh and those
in the groin suffer. When the crank is
horizontal, pointing backward, the foot
should be in such position that plumb
line drawn from the hip joint to the
ground would bisect the ankle. When
this test is made, and found true, the
saddle and pedals are in proper adjust
ment, so far as bringing the rider over
his work is concerned. Next comes the
important elevation of the saddle, aud
this must be fixed to the utmost nicely
If the best results are sought. The pedal,
in its downward passage, should not draw
the leg To oyerreach, and, on the other
hand, it should not. when at its lowest
point, leave the leg muscles doubled, AZ
the expression goes. This latter will
completely tire out Il person in short or
der, as the muscles become somewhat
cramped. There should be slight re-
serve i'm the leg, SO that the rider, when
standing on the lowered pedal, would
rise an inch out of the saddle.
"A -honored test for getting at
the correct elevation, and one that has
apparently always been in vogue, is to
have the pedal so rigged that, when low
cred, the top part of the foot may evenly
touch every part of the under side OF the
pedal. TO get to this effect the saddle
must be raised or lowered until this can
barely be done, and no amount OF time
in getting this result IL a waste. In
changing about the elevation OF the sad
die, il will have TO be moved forward or
rearward trihe, or the other relation TO
the pedal will change because OF the slant
in the seatpOst, and maybe IL the con-
structiOn of the saddle itself. This bust
ness of getting the proper proportion be-
tween the pedals and saddle is the most
important detail TO every cycler. Get
ting this proper proportion may even
remove certain legitimate objections that
some physicians have made 10 the use of
the wheel. In the old high wheels, where
the thrust was necessarily forward OF the
saddle, there was acknowledged danger
| from hernia. If the thrust be too far
behind it seems equally liable TO strain
the rider. The test Of the like between
the hip Joint to the ground is probably
| liable 70 remedy any sucD trouble.

Annapolis has declined to serve in that
