1t is generally conceded that the
American athlete takes greater pains
to get himself into what is generally
known as Condition" than his rival of
any other country. The American goes
at his work in a systematic manner,
and that is the reason that he stands
to-day the champion of all countries. To
be champion of America carries with
it also the title of champion of the
world in nine cases out of ten. 1t is
true that America holds few of the long
distance bicycle championships at pres
ent. This, however, is simply because
her representatives have never trained
for that distance, and have never at
tempted to wrest them from the for
eigners until they felt that they would
win; for the American is proud ath-
lete. Defeat casts him down and he
refuses to be comforted.
In France training as it is understood
in this country was totally unknown
until Zimmerman, the American cham
pion of the years of 1904, met their
idols and dragged them down. The
Frenchmen then dubbed the American
lie Yankee Volant," and they studied
him until they mastered his art of
training, with the result that to-day
France stands as high as any country
in the world.
Of course, each of the famous racing
men has a system of his own, but in
the main they are virtually the same.
Zimmerman, who is probably the
greatest the cycle track has ever seen,
was the first to outline his method, which
is now followed by many of the fastest
men in Europe. He describes his sys-
tom as follows:
Training, as applied to athletes, may
be defined as the preparation Of the
body for new and unaccustomed strains,
and the gradual fitting of the human
frame to undergo the severest physical
exertion. 1t is advisable before COM
1nencing to train to consult a physi-

81 begin to prepare for the racing
season in the spring. Ny preliminary
consists of a ten-mile spin about ten
o'clock a. m. l ride at slow but steady
pace; after L have finished get good
rundown and rest quietly for a couple
of hours, when enjoy two-mile walk
at an ordinary gait. Coming back to
my training quarters, l again mount

ercise l continue for about a month,

ing free and that the stiffness which ap-
pears when l begin has entirely disapr
peared. Walking, 1 think, makes the
muscles active and makes the wind
good. Having followed the schedule
mentioned above for month, then
begin to sprint. ride about five miles
in the morning and ten in the after
noon. The early part of my ride is con-
fined tc slow pace, which gradually in
crease, and finish with a sprint at top
speed. This work 1 continue for anoth-
er month, when begin to sprint quar-
ters and halves. Having satisfied my
self that l am thoroughly fit, that my
wind is good and I am willing to wind
up with strong sprint, l start for the
race meets. After that the work YOU
get in your race will be quite enough
to keep you on edge, providing you diet
yourself. 1 eat everything and any
thing 1 like except pastry. 1 never use
liquors, but am an inveteEate smoker"
1t will be remembered that when
Champion Zimmerman was in his
prime the eyes of the racing world was
turned towards Milwaukee when a
young German came forth to battle for
supremacy. This youngster was Walter
Sanger, formidable athlete, who had
defeated all cemers within a wide ra.
dius OF his home. A meeting between
: him and Zimmerman was eagerly
looked forward TO. They met at Denver,
r and Sanger defeated the easterner The
friends of the latter, however refused
to accept this as decisive, giving as q
: reason the trying climate of Denver
: and its Ill effects upon eastern riders
and 1t was decided to wait until the in.

clan, and to be carefully examined to
see that you are thoroughly sound; if
you are not, it would be folly for you to
begin. BE careful as to diet, retire
early, and abstain from smoking and
alcoholic drinks. Smoking depresses the
heart and shortens the wind, while
drinking strains the blood. l have

q far better chance, and perhaps beaten
me, if he could have let liquor alone.
do not train or ride during the winter,
but take complete rest. In my opinion
this is better course for the American
rider to pursue than to attempt to keep
in condition all the winter. have no
ticed that the men who train even lit
tie all the winter generally go stale be-
fore the fall meets are over. l continue
road work for about three weeks, until
find that my muscles are working all
right and that the feeling of stiffness
which always comes to me when first
begin riding has entirely gone.
Most men should commence training
on the road at least month before the
first race, but take a much longer time
to get fit, My consolation is that kept
in form longer than usual, generally
right through the season. This prelim-
mary road riding, like everything con-
nected with training, must be done in a
systematic manner. The morning ex-
ercise should be taken from one and q
half to two hours after breakfast; dc
not believe in taking any exercise before
breakfast, as some advise. / have tried
it, but it was not a success; it seemed t.
me like trying to run an engine withou
fuel One-and-a-half or two houss afte
breakfast, ride from eight to ten mile
on the road. advise wearing a sweat
er to work off the adipose tissue. TIL
last three or four miles should be rid
den at smart pace, but refrain from
sprinting. Go straight, without loiter
ing, to your dressing-room, whicl
should be warm. Here the perspiratol
will increase. You should immediatel.
be rubbed with soft towels until you ar
thoroughly dry, when further rubbing
with some alcoholic preparation will
prevent your becoming stiff. Iconside

to be worked with the bare hands. No
amount of rubbing with any kind of
towels seems to have the same effect.
This is felt at once, and there is no re-
action, as is the case with stimulants.
"Train for the distance which, after
experience, you find the best adapted
to your capabilities. Some men have
the power to stay long distances at a
moderate pace, but cannot sprint at all,
while others can do just the opposite.
A very few can do both. When you
have found out the distance which suits
you best, try it about once week. Let
some one hold watch on you, and time
each quarter of a mile. At each sue
ceeding attempt try to improve the
previous quarter a little, but hold
enough in reserve to ride the last quar-
ter the fastest. Practice with the
thought in your mind that the race is
always won in the last quarter and not
in the others. If one has trained for
short distances, say five miles and un-
der, it is certainly very harmful to race
very much longer distances. Courage,
both moral and physical, is needed, not
only in racing, but in deciding when
not to race"
Shortly after Zimmerman's debut
America had distinguished visitor in
Laurens Meintjes, of South Africa.
This young man came to this country
to visit the worlds fair; while here he
trained for lOno-distance riding. and
succeeded in astonishing the world by
his remarkable work at Chicago, New
York and Springfield. He brought with
him system as well. lie says:
"To be successful you must train,
and train well. 1t is of no use for a
short time. You must train until per-
feet. In training regularity is every
thing. That is good point about the
American cyclists. They train and do
it well. If America puts her best men

"Cousin William Mckinley
Osborne is canvassing the Senate

to secure sufficient influence to
persuade the President to revoke

on the Goth Of last October con-
corning consular fees. He finds
by examination of the returns Of
Consul General Collins for the
last quarter that, instead of being
worth $4,000 to $40, 600 a year, the
London consulate is now worth
only $4,000 or $4,000, and his

Some ct the Senators to whom he
has talked take the ground that
Secretary Olney had no right to
cut off the fees without substitut-
ing somc other form OF compelsa-
tion for the consular corps, because
the salaries were fixed by Congress
upon a basis Of remuneration

sessions in Africa. The decree
has already been disseminated
through many sections of the dark
continent, but it will take some.
thing more forceful than tho mere
publication of the announcement
to make the order effective.
In all of Africa the most trust.
worthy statistics show that there
are 100000 slaves. In the Brit,
ish possessions there are at least
20,000,0O0 slaves, or more than
one quarter of the total population
of the United States. 1t has beer,
estimated that the keeping alive
of the slave trade costs the lives
Of 800, eco natives annually.
1t can be seen from this that it
will be no empty task to carry out
the wishes of the Queen and wipe
out slavery. The slave dealers
are powerful set, and the petty
kings IF the different sections are
all great slave owners. The most
powerful and famous Of the pri-
vate slave owners is Tippoo lib,
the willy trader who was the friend
aud guide of Henry NJ. Stanley in
his early explorations.
Tippoo lib accompanied Stanley
on bis second expedition to Africa
from Nyangive to the banks of the
Lualaba. In 1887 Stanley appoin.
ted him Governor of Stanley Falls
Station, aud guaranteed him a
large salary. Tippoo also assisted
Stanley in his search for Emin Bey
in 1887 80 80.
HAS 10000 SLAVES.
For these reasons Tlppoo has
many friends in England, but be
will be the heaviest sufferer by the
decree just issued by the English
Queen. He is the largest slave
owner in Africa, his human chat
tells numbering ten thousand. Ey-
cry few months his followers make
raids into the interior, carrying
away hundreds Of the natives If
ter each raid, and killing scores in
making the captures.
Tippoo furnishes slaves to near.

and to the slavers of Morocco.
