THE WHEEL

There Is one very great advantage in
the new wheels over those of 1896, says
provided with dust-proof bearings; but
the New York Evening Post. Many Of
the makers said last years models were
the riders soon found that they were not,
and as result every man who cared
much for his bicycle was bothered two
or three times a month by the necessity
of taking his wheel apart and cleaning
out the cups and the balls. This was
done often when 1t was unnecessary, but
the knowledge that dust and grit could
find way in made 1t seem necessary.
Much time and patience were wasted
in this way, and in all probability many
rider got less satisfaction from his
machine than he would have enjoyed IL
his adjustments had always been seen
to by a competent mechanic; however
skilled the amateur, his work is not
likely to equal that of the careful pro-
fessional. This year there will be no
need of such bother, unless it shall be
found that appearances are altogether
deceiving. for every good wheel now on
the market has bearings so ingeniously
contrived to keep out dust that there

THE KENNEL

The Stockton people are preparing for
big show on the 7th of April, says
Field Sports, and have undergone q
heavy expense in the way of judges,
having secured c. H. Mason for mas
tiffs, st. Bernards, Great Danes, New
foundlands, foxhounds, pointers, Irish
settlers, collies, dachshunds, beagles, all
terriers and miscellaneous, and j. Otis
Fellows for bloodhounds, wolfhounds,
deerhounds, greyhounds, English and
Gordon settlers, Chesapeakes, all span
iels. bull dogs, basset hounds schip-
perkes, pomeranians and poodles.
The committee proposes an innovation
in the shape Of indoor field trials on a
floor of $4,000 square feet but just how
this will be managed has not been ex-
plained. Also foxhound, terrier. and
beagle trials are announced for the third
and fourth nights. There are 275 classes,
including classes for local dogs. Alto
gether there are offered seventy-six spe-
c,al medals.

Mr.. Mason has never been on the
coast before. but his reputation as
judge Is equal to that of the best, hay-
ing repeatedly judged at many of the
largest shows in the east. Many OF
our fanciers have often expressed a de-
sire to see him on the coast. They now
have the opportunity and should not
fail to show their dogs at Stockton thus
assisting the energetic and daring club
in its efforts TO give the state one of the
best shows ever held, and judged by two
men. one standing in the very front rank
at the east and the other the great ia
vorite of California. Every fancier
should respond to the call OF our sister
city. 1t has gone to large expense in
order to furnish the very best talent
possible.
And after all this It is now stated that
Charles III. Mason will not judge the

Jones for the same date. Jones boxed
four-round bout with De Coursey, at
the club as a preliminary to the Burns
Cotton exhibition, and made very good
show. The men are to box at catch
weights, but will probably enter the
ring at 1876 pounds each, though Demp-
sey has the advantage In both height
and reach. The winner will probably
go against Burkhardt in April. There
will be several interesting prelimina-
ries, the best of which will probably be
six-round go between Acevedo and De
Coursey.
Play in the handball tournament at
the Athletic club, which was broken into
by ladies' night and the necessity for
some repairs to the court, will be re-
newed in earnest this week, and some
close contests are anticipated.
Garbutt and Brink are credited with
being the best team workers in the club.
Kremer and Parker are rapidly coming
to the front for team honors. Lester
Prayer has already attained a position
among the top-notchers. He has the
underhand stroke, which is so hard for
many to get down to perfection. and can
place ball from the back end of the
court. Champion Garbutt is at work
on a counting machine which will be

feet in diameter, with numbers one foot

AS an Illustration of what handball is
doing for SOM of the members, there Is
President Brink, who started in at 230
pounds and Is now down to 1893. John
McGinnis has reduced from 220 to 200;
Chas. Shaw has taken off about fifteen
pounds and is now down to his correct
weight, $50. There are numerous other
instances where noticeable reductions
in weight have been made, and still
others where weight has been put on
and the body built up. Garbutt and
Brink yesterday defeated Nordholt and
Beebe two straights-21-11 and 21-12
The tournament at Santa Monica to-
day promises to be a brilliant affair

Messrs. Alvord, Ward, Waring, Gwynne,

says that Jim is very active and shifty,

will be noted that his reticence is more
pronounced than usual
The only incident out of the routine
at the Fitzsimmons headquarters dur
ing the week was the receipt of the news
of the death of the Australians mother
in-law, Mrs Julian, in New York The
lanky fighter was apparently very de-
voted to Mrs. Julian, and she had the
utmost confidence in him. 1t is not
surprising therefore that the sad news
had a depressing effect on the Fitzsim-
mons encourage, and even the rival
"pugs" stopped their rag chewing" for
a day or two. This has caused the only
break In the daily routine that will be
followed up 40 the day of the fight.
So far there is no definite information
as to the number who viii go from Los
Angeles and Southern California to see
the fight. A large number have signed
the list which Is being circulated by
John Brink and Carl McStay of the
athletic club, but until at least deposit
Is made to cover the Pullman fare 1t
cannot be stated how many will hold
out. An effort will be made to get at
least two coaches full. In this case the
cars will be used for sleeping accommo
dations at Carson. A slight change has
been made in the time schedule. The
party will leave Los Angeles Sunday
evening, the 14th, instead Of Monday, the
18th. as was at first proposed.
Pools will be sold on the fight by Black
e. Co, of the Los Angeles Turf club. at
their rooms on the evening before the
fight, and at Hazards pavilion on the
morning of the 18th. During the pro-
gress of the fight a full report will be
received as 1t progresses by rounds at
the same place.

QUEEN STILL MouRNs,
Thirty-sixth Anniversary OF Primo
Alhertsn ncn III

VhArty-Saxth Anniversary of Prince
Albert's Death.
London, Dec. 15.-Tuesday being the
thirty-siNth anniversary of the death
of Prince Albert of Coburg and Gotha,
solemn memorial services, attended
only by members of the royal family,
were held in the Frogmore mausoleum,
where the remains are inferred. The
queen established this custom on the
first anniversary of her consort's death,
and it has been continued without a sim
gle interruption for nearly four de-
cades. 1t was a touching sight to wit
ness the venerable sovereign, now In
her 10th year, doing homage to the
memory of her husband of long ago,
and doubtless, rs she sat with bowed
head in her WHEELED chair at the head of
the tomb, recalling recollections of her
happy married days and of the husband
in whose light for 81 years she lived and
moved.
The service, which was fully choral,
was portion of that provided by the
Episcopal church for the burial of the
dead. The psalms and some of the
prayers were intoned by the choir. The
officiating divines were the bishop Of
London, DR.. Creighton, Very Rev.
Phillip Frank Elliott, dean Of Windsor,
and Very Rev. Marquis OF Normandy,
and Very Rev. j. Neal Dalton B. Barry
and Richard Gee. Sir Walter PARROT
presided at the organ. At the conclu.
sion OF the service her majesty returned
to the castle, and, in accordance with
her custom, spent the remainder of the
day in seclusion, in what is known as
the prince consort's chamber, which is
filled with momentoes of the dead.
