BAD WHEEL WEATHER.
The Northwest Gale Had the
Boulevard All to Itself
Yesterday.

Yesterday was anything but an ideal
day for cycling or driving. The big
Boulevard was almost deserted. Few
cyclists had the fever so badly that they
dared the cold north wind Even the
owners of '96 models forbore The pleasure
of displaying them to the spectators
abroad. A gale swept along the broad
road and rendered progress northward
almost Impossible. ST cold it was that
William G. Roome, who essayed to ride
to Gutenberg, returned to his home with
both feet frozen. A cold water bath
soon set them right again.
A few carriages were to be seen, but
their occupants were not. That is, they
could not be recognized. Everyone was
bundled up in such a manner as to rem
der identifcatio impossible. The road
houses gained by the cold. Those who
looked for pleasure in a ride abroad
yesterday found it more readily in the
various obstetrics along the road than
in the nipping cold without. From these
points the shortest road home was the
one ~patronized by those who had an
ticipated a pleasant drive upon starting
out.
One of the hardy horsemen that never
misses a Sunday on the road. whatever

GREAT BRITAIN's FINANCIAL LOSS

The relation between trade routes and
distributing centres is a subject Of the
highest Importance, not only to mer-
chants. but also, and in a greater de-
gree, to the statesmen who direct and
control the colonial and foreign af-
fairs of a country. That this relation
is of the most intimate kind. n the
result of a natural law which has been
evident since the days when the civil
~izations of China. India, Arabia. and
III Mediterranean were first evolved,
is a well-marked historical fact. To
go no further back han the inaugura-
ton of the Suez Canal, about % years
ago Great Britain is still experience
ing the unfavorable results of the de-
Fiction of m from the Cape
route to that by the Mediterranean and
the Suez Canal. Instead of London
being the chief distributing centre of
the riches of the far East, as in ear
lier times, there have arisen in the Me
diterranean basin a number of compe-
titive centres. The Mediterranean Pow
.ers thus enjoy a partial reyiva of their
ancient prosperity. To Great Britain,
as the monopolist of the ~sea-borne COM
merce of the world. this has proved a
serious financial loss, ard it is only by
seeking compensation elsewhere, e. e.,
in the acquisition of new markets, that
her merchants can hope to retain their
paramount advantages.-North Ameri-

The games in the Jersey City League
will be resumed this evening after an
other a~ggravating delay of two weeks.
The schedule governing the games in

ever arranged, and those having had the
work to do made a poor success of it,
and evidently had little if any expert
ence. 1t has created jumps of two and
three weeks at a time for the teams.
and the members are forced to remain
idle when there is no reason why they
could not move along with the others.
These delays have created a great deal
of unfavorable comment among the
bowlers and others interested in the
league, and 1t is because of this that the
competition is SO long drawn out and
ends long after all of The other leagues
sample of poor judgment was in schsd-

A BATH AT DAMASCUS.
A Luxury Involving Expenditure of
Time and Energy.

- II NIhhSeS
One of the things to do in Damascus is
to take bath in Abans water. That is
easily accomplished by finding a Turkish
bath that advertises to use ALBANIA water
only. Others beside Naaman have
thought and still think ALBANIA water
equal to Jordan. The town is well sup
piled with baths, and here the genuine
Turkish bath can be enjoyed in its purity
that is if you battle early, for in the
latter part of the day the cleanliness of
the establishment is gone. In the No. /
bath of Damascus the patron walks on
genuine carpets, sits in Oriental chairs,
~reclines on strange divans and undergoes
rubbings and scrubbings and mutations,
and almost mutations. One attendant

douche, and seating. him on an iron
chair, lets in the pure cold water of

completes the process.
With such facilities and so many bath
ing establishments, it would be expected
that the Damascenes would be cieaniy
people. 1t is not SO. Yet they nave
plenty of opportunity to be the ~cleanest
people in the world. Water is n of
the features of the city. 1t is conducted
in bitches and eonduits along the side
of nearly all the houses, and in parks
and at street corners. The day would
be insufferably hot, but this abundant
supply of water refreshes and cools the
air, and gives a happy effect to the
scenery. Not every one cares for Da-
mascus. A day or two satisfies the ordi-
nary tourist. Damascus morally and
socially, at least, is not so much a
heaven as Mohammed supposed it to be-
