BICYCLE TRAINING.
The Wise Cyclist Is Now on the
Track and Road.
The Appearance of the Cyclist n surer
Sign of Spring Than the Coming
of the Flo,yers--The Opening
of the "Circuit Races"
tCopyriCht, 1871


A surer sign of spring than the
flowers that bloom is activity of cycle
racing men as they take their daily
spins on the boulevards, cycle paths and
race tracks. They are out in swarms
early in the spring, although the actual
racing season does not commence until
the latter part of May, at the earliest.
The racing man knows the advantages
of facing the starter in good condition,
and although if he is wise he has kept
himself in good condition all the winter
by active gymnasium training, he be-
gins early to work on his wheel.
America leads the world in competi-
tion riders. During the past three years
cycle rneing has grown as no other
sport has ever before been known to,
and the reports that are issued weekly
from the headquarters of the racing
board of the League of American Wheel
men, the organization that assumes alb
solute control of all track racing, shows
that the meets scheduled for this year
will exceed in number those of any
previous year, and last year there were
more than for the two previous years
combined. This is ample refutation of
the oft-repeated statement that cycle
racing is ON the wane. On July of
last year there were 40 sanctions grant,
ed for track races, the largest number
ever issued in one day in the history of
cycle racing. This did not include the
road races which are held annually in
all parts of the country, as the L. A. w.
does not recognize this class of racing.
There are now, according to the re-
port submitted to the last national as
sembly of the L. A. W., more than 1,500
professional racing men, duly regis
tered in the Office of the chairman, while
each week sees an additional batch of
amateurs transferred to the ranks of
the money "chasers." The /. a. w. rec
ognizes only two classes of racing men.
the amateur and the professional. The
amateur is not permitted to race for
prize of higher value than S35, while
the professional races for cash without
restrictions as to the value. The anna
teur cannot have his expenses paid by
outside parties, while the professional
is granted carte blanche with reference
to expenses and receives liberal sal |
erv.
While the dates" for the forthcom- !
ing circuit races have not as yet been
allotted, the chairman announces that
the first one will probably be held May
IL at Charlotte, n. c. \ meet Mt Jack
sonville, Fla, will follow, and then
trip through the south, taking in Sa-
vannah, Augusta, Macon, Charleston,
Atlanta, Memphis, Nashville, Brming-
ham, Chattanooga, Louisville and
thence west. From that point the rae
ing men will slowly make their way
east, joining at Philadelphia in August,
where the annual meet of the League of
American Wheelmen will be given. At |
this point and time the national cham
pionships of the season will be given,
and it is here the interest in racing CEN
ters each season.
The national champions for the past
year are Tom Cooper, of Detroit, Mich;

THE shade of General Grant must
have been well satisfied Tuesday with
the demonstration accorded the dedi-
cation of the tomb wherein reposes
that spirits tenement when on earth.
Not since the grand review in Wash
ington at the close of the war has there
been so imposing a spectacle as was
this splendid military and naval parade
Even the stoical temperament of a
Grant could not be unmoved by such
ceremony.

THE regulation of Council that con-
tractors on public improvements shall
pay 81 so per day for labor and $500
per day for teams has certainly not in
creased the figures of bidders. The
bid of 60 cents per square yard is, on
Second street, even lower than the
present contract on Fourth, as the eX-
cavation on the former street is much
heavier than on the latter. The legal
ity of the regulation is not clearly
established but it will no doubt be OBJ
served by the contractors.

Seventy per cent of the railway stock
in this country has not paid dividend
and there seems to be no doubt that the
other thirty will not, unless some meas
ures are taken to prevent ruinous rate
cutting, A great many people think
that the pooling bill, which is now be-
fore the Senate, is as much necessary
to the prosperity of the country as the
Dingley Tariff bill.
