month by the Postal Telegraph Cable
company in extending its operations to
Mexico. Contracts were signed in New

Mexican National railroads giving the
Postal company strong foothold in
Mexico, and large share of the bust
ness from and to that country. Here
tOfore in sending messages from Mex
leo to points in the United States it has
been necessary to transmit them in a
roundabout way. They were first sent
to Vera Cruz, thence by cable to Gal

take Joe Walcott to the Pacific coast
to meet George Green. Those who
| imagined tn Barbados cOlored gentle
man, as George Dixon calls his old
room mate. bad 'sgone back" are evil
IDENTIFY disappointed by the results of the
six-rOund bout between WalcOtt and
Tom Tracey in Philadelphia last night.
The Philadelphia bout was one OF those
affairs in which no referee IS allowed
and being limited to a short nu % Der OF
rounds leads to a swift and furious con-
test in order to create favorable i'm
preston before the spectators. In
such contest the weaker man in
finish contest may have an advantage
in that while he could not go dis
lance he would be strong and lively for
a limited number of rounds. In the
fight last night, however, Walcott was
as good as Tracey at the finish, and
both had fought hard for popular de-
cisiOn. This was not the first time the
men have met, and Tracey was as anx-
ious to secure reversal of the dec1s-
ion against him as Walcott was to Gre
ate favorable impression of his abil-
ity, for since his fight with Lavigne,
the colored man has never appeared to
be the same. WalcOtt forced the mill
ing from the start and bore in with
right and left body blows with telling
effect. Tracey foolishly tried to knock
the others head off, but the pounding |
was that against stone wall.
In the third round Tracey was floor
ed by right swing and took the full |
ten seconds to rise. Again in the |
fourth and fifth rounds Walcott fought |
like fiend and rather bad an advau-
tage, although Tracey put up good |
fight.

NOTES ON THE WHEEL.
A Tandem at Last.


Augustus was nice young man, II
style quite up to date:
Considered an authority in fashion new
and late;
And in the course of time he did as al
young men will do,
whose name was Helen Drew.
Augustus had a wheel, of course, and
often went to ride;
He thought he was in Paradise with
Helen by his side.
Until one day his sweetheart said: LAS
sure as I'm alive,
"My wheel goes just as fast as yours,
and mines a '95.'
Augustus nearly had fit; how such
things must amaze!
This dreadful breach of etiquette would
haunt him all his days.
And to his love that night he vowed, by
all his hopes of Heaven,
With her again he would not ride till
she bought '91.
Both lovers lost their tempers, and
some bitter words were said,
He swore she had no feeling. and she
wished that she were dead:
But finally they compromised, forgot
their words a t random,
Got married, and exchanged their
wheels for '97 tandem.

4 Merry GIRL,

Ever since Joe Henley made his peril
| Gus sprint across the ties of the
Milwaukee bridge at Kansas City on
the bare rims of his bicycle number
of ambitious cyclists have protested a
, willingness to equal the performance.
But none of the men have gone fur her
than to ride out and view the bridge.
However, IA woman, Dora Dewitt, has
| equaled Henley's feat, and went him
one better, for she rode along on the
out side OF the rail in space only
eig hteen inches wide. 1t was hair
| raising performance, and one that is
not likely to be equaied soon.
Miss Dewitt rode / light racer. The
tires had been removed, leaving only
the bare rims to ride on. She started
at a fast clip, knowing that in no other
way could she get across.
A single mishap would have hurled
her into the Missouri river, ninety feet
below. Once, near the center of the
bridge she swerve1 slightly, and for
few feet the wheel rushed along
within an inch of the end of the ties,
but the girl was cool, and in a moment
she was in control of her wheel and
finished the trip wi hOut further
danger.
Tho greatest peril was in the depres-
sions two feet wide, which exist at reg
ular intervals from one end OF the brid-
ge to the other. But she crossed all of
these firmly, though the shock at
each time seemed as if it would throw
her from the wheel.
At the close Miss DeWitt's arms
were so numb that she could not lift
them. Several well-knOwn wheelmen
witnessed the feat.

A Melbourne officer, Captain G.. E.
D. Usher of the Harbor Trust battery
of garrison artillery, is the inventor of
chainless triple-geared bicycle. The
principal features of the new system
are the elimination of the chain and the
| introduction of a triDlicate gear, which
can be modified at the will of the rid
err.
The machine is driven by cog wheels
made of aluminium for the sake of
| lightness and strength, and a strong
steel rim carrying the cog teeth is
shrunk on and riveted to the alumni
ium. The center wheel which carries
the power from the cranks to the pin
ions, is single wheel with three
rims.
The gearing can be changed as the
rider proceeds without dismounting,
by means of small air lever pinned to
the frame under the handle bar. Cap
tain Usher as an old cyclist, chose 40,
rs and Ito inches as the three gears
most likely to come in handy when on
a tour. Only few pounds are added
to the weight of the machine compared
with the benefits derived from the new
system.
