The fact that D. NJ. McElwain was
not lenominated as commissioner from
the Second district should not be taken
as an expression of the people against
his administration. Mr.. McElwain IS
generally conceded to have been a good
commissioner. He has not, it is true,
made as vigorous use of his lungs in
protest of everything done by the re-
publican commissioners as some would
have done, but he kept the gooC will Of
his colleagues of the board and, work

train, hotel bills, fight ticket and in
cidentals, he found the aggr6 gate neces-
sary expenditure to be $266. In this
estimate he placed the cost of the fight
ticket at $40 and the 'incidentals" at
$50, hypothesis which are, to say the
least, modest. 1t would be nearer the
mark, perhaps, to place, these items at
$40 and 500 respectively. These figures,
while not applicable to shorter dis
tances, are probably not far above what
will be the average cost Of the trip.
AS to the principals in the approach
ing contest, there is little that now
need be said. Everybody knows that
both are training hard for the great
event, which will bring with it victory
and defeat. Both are under the care Of
competent trainers, and both are in
excellent form. Judged from a purely
technical standpoint, the contest should
be a grand affair. The men are evenly
matched. AS to their chances who can
speak with confidence? Each has prov
ed himself all but invincible. Each has
his friends, and these will continue to
exclaim and prophesy, but the future
is full Of uncertainty, and results will
be in obscurity until somebody fails to
respond to the call of '"Timer' 1t will

GALL HIM BOUNDING
FIRST GET OF BOUNDLESS, THE
AMERICAN DERBY WINNER
OF '93,

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Feb. 20.-The
cold wave has passed away, and the
trainers have gone to work in earnest
to get ready for the races. The track
is slow, and nothing faster than strong
gallops are being done, but as soon as
the track gets into condition fast work
will begin.
Very few trainers look for the de-
velopment of any really sensational
colts out of the number now here, but
there are three or four that are at
tracing especial attention. Among
them Cushing's Boundless colt is I'M
doubleday the most prominent. This
colt is interesting from the fact that
he is the first get Of Boundless, the
winner of the great Worlds Fair Amer
lean Derby, which performance won
for his owner the munificent sum of
$4,000. The colts dam is Zizi, whose
blood is equally as aristocratic as that
of his illustrious sire. He was foaled
in Kentucky on April 2, 1885, and, al
though not yet two years old, he is a
great, big, growthy fellow and stands
on four splendid legs. He holds his
head very erect, and his symmetrical
curves give to him an appearance Of
beauty which Is not easily surpassed.
Those who remember Boundless as a
twO-year-old say that the colt is an
exact counterpart of his sire in every
respect except as to color. Boundless
is black, while his first offspring is a
dark chestnut. The colt has been reg
istered Bounding. He has been han
For Ar III h
ing does not expect to race him very
much until the season is well advanc-
ed, on account of his disadvantage in
age, but he entertains fond hopes for
the young fellows future and thinks
him a really fine colt.
Another notable colt, but enc far
less attractive in appearance than
Bounding, is to be found in the stable
Of Mr.. P. J. Miles. He is a medium
sized bay gelding by Iroquois, dam
Ouida, and has been named Little Rock
in honor of this city. Little Rock has
been given a considerable amount Of
slow work, and his trainer thinks he is
the making of a fast horse.
McCluer & Jones have two or three
unusually fine lockers, the best Of
WHICH at present Is d NOldnl0 COlC out
of Gof1y. He Is a good, big colt for
his age, and Is light chestnut in color.
He has shown speed in his trials, but
has not been extended. The same sta
BILE has another splendid-looking Vo-
Iante colt out Of Debutante, of which
they entertain high regard, but he has
been given little work, and Is in no con-
dition to speed. He Is a hearty eater
and willing worker, but persists in
punching out. His name Is Volcanic,
and he is we'll engaged in the stakes
all along the line, but it will require
lot Of work to get him into condition
to fill the early engagements.
The entries in the Arkansas Derby
are as follows: DR.. Walmsley, Bur-

STATE OF THE BICYCLE.
Shortage of WheeIers Anticipated
This Year

The national shows held by the Ma
ticnal Board Of Trade of Cycle manu-
features, are q reliable index Of the
bicycle industry. Those held in Chicago
and New York, which have just been
brought to q close, reflect more than
any Of their predecessors the economic
Importance of this business, which has
now grown to such vast proportions.
Few, even of the most careful Obser-
vers, appreciate the position 1t has
obtained for itself in the ranks of in
dustrial enterprises. A careful survey
of the exhibits at the New York show
disclosed many interesting facts.
First, that the bicycle itself has reach
ed that stage in it's development where
it has assumed a standard of design In
appearance, shape, weight, proportion
Of parts, and the principles of steering;
propulsion and weight-carrying that
seems to have put it beyond the danger
of innovation and unripe experimental
ton, which have always been more or
less a threat against the stability OF
the industry This fact has been
brought out by the almost total absence
Of freaks of construction at the shows.
There has usually been a struggling
army of these hanging upon the out
skirts of the business, and though
they have never made any inrOadS into
the ranks of the makers who hold to
the standard forms OF construction, yet
their presence has always been hereto
fore looked upon as exemplifying the
possibility Of radical changes, and con-
sequently affecting the stability of
the trade in the minds of investors.
Their absence this year is a very en-
cOurag Tying sign.
Another thing that has added to the
stability of the business is the I'M
questioned admission of the bicycle to
the list of everyday necessities. Its
largest duty is not as a contributor
to sport and pastime; it is a factor in
the economics of everyday life. Fur
nishing as it does the most concrete
form of individual rapid transit, 1t
has become Indispensable tc all its
devotees, who are found in every walk
In life.
The bicycle a few years ago used TO
be sold to the youth. Today some Of
| the largest customers are corporations
and governments, who buy them for
| their messengers, inspectors, policemen
and letter carriers. This has contrib
uted to the tone of the trade. Supply
and demand are no longer problemaS-
| ical, but can now be calculated will,

or materials that go into their make
up-the jobbers. the retailers, and a
large and influential element of the
buying public. 1t Is the one place and
time where and when an accurate
forecast OF the coming seasons posi-
bil1t1es can be made
The one point in which the prophets
OF the trade are unanimous is that the
reaction from last years oVerproduc-
llon VIII result in shortage of wheels
ana the immediate result Of this has
Oeen very general stiffening Of prices.
Demand-which in the face of the un-
usual depression in all lines of business
uurlnS the last two years has grown
enormously-it is expected will be
larger this year than ever before, and
principally for machines of the better
quaIity. The enormous increase in the
NUMBER Of factories and the amount
oI capital now devoted to the manu-
Iacture OF bicycles. has naturally re-
suited In competition Of unusual
keenness, and the fact that, notwitT-
standing this, there is a tendency TO
advance prices, seems to show that
further reduction in the price of
bicycles Is not to be looked for. The
industry is beginning to crystalline. It
is passing through stages Of develop
ment that have marked the history of
every industrial enterprise in the last
quarter Of a century. The National
Board of Trade of Cycle Manufac tur-
ers was the first step in that direction.
The Association of Rubber Tire Manu-
tacturers came next, and now has been
formed what, perhaps, will prove to
be the most powerful organization Of
all-that is, the coalition Of the retail
traders Of the United States, which had
Its inception at the Chicago and it's
completion at the New York show
AS there seems to be a strong senti-
ment among the manufacturers to do
away with the national shows under
the auspices Of their own board Of
trade, 1t IS very likely that in the
future these shows will partake more
Of local nature, designed more par
ticularly to bring the retail seller and
the rider together at the opening of
the riding season. In the administra-
ton of these shows in the future there
fore, 1T Is fair to assume that the. re-
tail trade will play a more prominent
part. Some fifteen or twenty of these
local exhibitions are being held this
year. and next year it Is expected that
not less than fifty Of them will be
given under the auspices of these two
powerful organizations. the National
Board of Trade Of Cycle M9nufac-
turers and the Retail Cycle Dealers
National association.

Special to the Globe.
CARSON, Feb. 2O-There is no deny
Ing 1.-THE whole country is a tiptoe
with interest in the Corbett-Fitzsim-
mons fight, which is to take place on
st. Patricks day. The sentiment
against prizefghting, carefully worked
up for years, seemed to have strong
and broad footing among the people.
But just now it is not very much in
evidence, or at least is only manifest
in the usual pulpit protests or the cen
sure of religious publications.
In truth, the prospect that the two
heavyweights who have threatened and
bullied each other for years without
striking a blow will now meet and set
tie the matter Of supremacy by the
effectual arbitrament of fists offers to
a long suffering and patient people q
