Active Operations for Building Co.
lumbfa and Maryland Railroad.
Since the discharge of the receivers of
the Columbia and Maryland Railway Com
pany. which took place last Saturday, the
speedy completion of the road seems to be
certainty. One of the officials STATED yes
terday that within two weeks work will
be resumed along the entire road.
1t will take about two months to COM
plete the road from the District terminus
at Rives' Station to Hyattsvills. Six cars
will be operated between Hyattsville and
Washington. They will leave every half
hour, and will make the trip in twenty-five
minutes.
One million and half of dollars has al
ready been expended, and 1t will REQUIRE
the same amount possibly more, to com
plete the work and put the road in opera
ton.
So soon as the minor affairs of the re-
Ownership are wound up the directors of
the company will assume full control of
the enterprise The officers Of the road
are r. ]. Baker, president; r. S, Carswell,
secretary; s. c. Cooper. treasurer.

Philadelphia, Aug. 1.-The 18th an
Wheelmen, for which preparations have
been going on for over three months,
will be held in this city during the
coming week, and the largest influx of
out of town wheelmen ever attending
a national meet is expected. An I'M
usually large number of entries, pro-
fessional and amateur, have been made
Saturday, and the crack riders from
all parts of the country have entered
in their respective classes.
The meet is being managed by the
Associated Cycling clubs of Philadel-
phia, an organization composed of 20
of the leading cycling clubs of the city.
Under the direction of an executive
committee, the various details have fin
ally been completed, and all is in read
mess for what promises to be the most
successful race meet in the history of
the L. A. w. On Tuesday the Penn
sylvania division of the league will hold
a business meeting, after which the ma
tional meeting headquarters win be
opened for registration and issuing of
credentials. All of Wednesday and
Thursday will be given to the tours
and runs and the visiting wheelmen
will be taken to every point of interest
in and about the city. Wednesday
night there will be an all night
smoker at the national headquar-
ters, and a fete at Belmont mansion in
West Paramount park. On both these
nights, as on the remaining days,
there will be "open house" in all the
clubs of the city.
The races will be held on Friday and
Saturday at Willow Grove track. This
is three laps to the mile, and is con-
structed of board. The preliminaries
finals in the afternoon. The one-mile
professional championship will be de-
cided on Friday, and on Saturday the
big race for $500 will be contested by
the stars of the professional ranks.
The amateur championship also
promises some bitter struggles between
representatives of the various stars.
The entries closed last night for all
events, and among some of the leading
out of town professionals entered are
the following:
H r. Stenson, Dayton. o.: Teddy
Goodman, New York; Major Taylor

son why a cyclist should not attain a
speed of a mile minute without airy ire
mendous exertion- The influence that this
will have upon the professional bicycle
racing world is simply tremendous 1t is
considered more than likely, for instance
that If the compound crank achieves a
thorough success. some genius, II not It's
inventor. will plan out a scheme TO make
il chainleSS-
The chainless bicycle is the wheel of
1898. 1t is speedier, less costly in the long
run and more durable. Now combine with
this the utilization of the entire leg power
of a rider, and it seems TO most persons
who understand the bicycle that a
possibility is created which is al
that a machine is in sight which will last
a tremendous length of time. be so strong
as TO be almost without danger or IN
jury except through collision and be ca
pable of a degree of speed which only q
short time ago seemed among the I'M
possibilities. This is why England IS so
thoroughly and completely interested IN
the new invention, and it is not too much
to say that it will not be the fault of the
Englishmen if an American mind gets
ahead of theirs in perfecting the combina-
ton referred to.
Another point which is being considered
is that the chainleSS wheel and the con-
pound crank wheel ought to be combined
and sold at not over $50. 1t must be un
derstood that in judging prices OF bicycles
on this side of the water. we figure on
different basis of calculation, In the first
place the English and the French wheels
are very much cheaper than those made
in the United States. using United States
prices a standard of comparison. The
very best bicycle made in England can be
purchased for $50, and most persons con-
slider that exorbitant. 1t is a fact that the
wheel which has been selling in America
for 500 has been put upon the market

THE MERCILESS SUGAR TRUST.
Will Crush the Arbuckles By Start
ing Coffee Plant.

Philadelphia, Aug. 1.-The Record will
say tomorrow: The war between the Su-
gar trust and Arbuckle Bros. the big cof-
zee rooster, which has carried the trust
into the coffee trade and the A-buckles
into the mysteries of sugar refining, IS
soon to be transferred in part to this city.
Some time ago the trust. in order to
strike at the Arbuckles. bought control
of the Woolson company of Toledo. O.,
one of the largest coffee houses in the
country, and it now proposes to convert
the old Delaware sugar house at Reed
and Swanson streets into a great coffee
roasting establishment. from which the
trade along the Atlantic seaboard may
be easily reached.
The old cigar refinery, which was for
merly an 3 dependent refinery. was Dur-
chased by the trust about the same time
that il secured the control of the SDrek-
els and Franklin refinerieS. For some
wears it has lain idle. its machinery being
somewhat old-fashiOned and its capacity
limited as compared with the other big
plants here. Recently a number Of inte-
rior changes have been made in it and
already two consignments of coffee have
been delivered at the establishment for
experimental purposes 1t is not likely,
however. that active operations VIII be
started for some time to come, as all the
machinery needed has not been delivered
yet Much of it is TO be imported from
Germany The plant completed will give
employment to a large number of skilled
Workmen.
