NEW 1Okk ATHLETIC tLl IS ElSfIC lOA>
MANY UNFoUNDED REPoRTs-LITTLE OPPOSITION
TO TIE TICKET NAMED - THE
CYCLING ELEMENT.
The members OF the New-York Athletic Club are
somewhat excited over the coming election of their
club which will be held next Tuesday. So many
untrustworthy reports have been circulated OF late
regarding the affairs of the club that at meeting OF
the Board Of Governors held Thursday night It
decided that hereafter only the president and
secretary OF the club should talk about club affairs
for publication Consequently, James Whitley and
John G. Buick will be the two members Of the
Ncw-York Athletic Club who can be interviewed for
publication.
There was another meeting OF the Board OF Gov
ernors at the clubhouse In West Fify-ffth-st. last
night. The meeting was held TO draw up the year S
reports which will be submitted AZ the annual meet
ing Those reports are bulky documents. and they
tel In detail the athletic and financial condition Of
the organization. The finances OF the Mercury
Foot club never in better shape. and the ath-
letlc report Is one OF the gratifying that any
athletic committee has ever prepared.
AS the time for the annual election approaches
several conditions which looked embarrassing rot
long ago have assumed more encouraging as
pcct. Tho yarns that there would be opposition
candidate nut In the field to run against James
Whitley have no foundation in fact. so prominent
members OF the club said last night
The actua, opposition will. II Is said. be between
ment which Is opposed to the bicycle and the ac-
cOmmodatlons given 20 the wheelmen who are mem
bors. \ friend Of Mr.. Whitley said last night that
IL was true that the president would oppose the
election Of Or. :. D. Powell, who IL one OF the
wheelmen representatives on the ticket for place
on the Board OF Governors.
IL ia understood that Or. Powell and Douglass
Henry are the two candidates who will he opposed
By Hayes and Muir. Messrs. Powell and Henry
seem to have every reason to expect an election for
they Will have the united support OF the wheeling
element in the club. and the whseimen are nearly
SIX hundred strong. Douglass Henry is an old time
osrsman. and he member Of the Hudson
Boathouse club. He Is also member OF tho stock
Exchange.

est Each has many friends In the club. and.
while Weeks Is regarded practically as an opposl-
ton candidate. he Will IN all probability draw many
votes from the regulars. The other opposition Will
be between Il. &. Williams and j. ID. Foote. on ihe
Board OF Governors Willlams's friends are con-
ndert that he viii be elected but Foote's followers
many. and they show no disposition 10 abandon

Electric Light Bugs.

The Washington Star announces that
the two species of large water bugs that
have come 70 be called electric Fight bugs
have put in an appearance around the
electric arc lights. "A most curious thing
about these bugs" it says, lis that before
the introduction of electric lights they
were considered to be comparatively
rare. They We're seldom seen, as they
were not attracted by ordinary light.
When the arc light appeared however,
the bugs became enormously noticeable.
Upon their appearance in such prodig-
ious numbers entomologists were Of the
opinion that after two or three years
both species would grow scarcer but
the numbers do not seem to be decreas-
ing in the slightest. While neither the
Belostoma nor the Benacus is distinctly
poisonous, both have strong beaks, ca
pable of inficting severe wounds, and it
will be wise to handle them with great
care. if at all. The very large black
water beetle will also be seen among the
water bugs around electric lamps in the
proportion of about one to 100"

ENpenSlveness OF High Speed.

AS an instance showing how extensive
speed uec0n.es, an instructive comparison
can be made between the new Brit
ish naval vessel Desperate and the Gu
ndrd line steamer Lucana. The former
is at present the fastest vessel in the
world, having shown a speed Of 81 krots.
or about Sc miles an hour, aCd the Lu-
cania being the fastest passenger steam

with $1,000 horse power, while the Des-
perate, one-forteth as large, requires
one-fourth the power The conclusion is,
that to gain, say. one-third more speed
10 times the power must be used

After the Long Arctic Night.

The long polar night came to an end
within the arctic circle on January 20.
The inhabitants of the little villages have
had nearly three months of steady night.
1t is the usual custom that on the day
when the sun rises above the horizon
after the long season of darkness the in
habitants all stand in line, facing the re-
turning orb, and greet it with a military
salute. No other effect than that of pale
ness Of complexion is discernible in the
natives after this long time at night.
The pallor soon passes away with the
suns return. In Bodo the sun can be
seen at midnight on June 3; in Tromso it
can be seen on May 20; in Hammerfest,
or as far as the North cape, the mid
night sun may be seen as early as May
t6 or 13. respectively.-New York Herald.
