ing he knew all about the trick Of back
pedaling down the hill. The wheel got
away from him early in the game, and
after killing grocery wagon horse,
knocking down two men and shaving
the wheels of wagon it threw him
over fence and plunged into the river.
Abraham was not dangerously hurt,
but he wanted to sit in dark room at
home and wonder how it all happened.
Admiral Bumbo Sackett was missing
from his accustomed place, but had
written message in chalk on shingle
as to the reason why. While out on his
bike he discovered dog sleeping in
the road. His idea was to shave close
and see the dog jump, but he lost the
left pedal and went over the dog.
The dog jumped, just as he had fond
ly expected, but so did the bike, and
the three of them got mixed up and
rlawed and kicked and bit each other
until the admiral had to be helped home
and put to bed. He expected to survive
and would probably be at the next
meeting and meanwhile would prepare
speech entitled "Bewar' of de Dawg."
He sent his love and best wishes and
added that if any member out on his
wheel felt like running over anything
he'd better try it on a house.
President Toots then announced the
following hints and suggestions for new
beginners:
Don't try to catch the handle bars
with your teeth.
"Don't look around to see if the hind
wheel is following
Don't be surprised if the front
wheel shows disposition to turn into
yard and lay down for rest.
always fall on your right shoulder,
and do not let your ear strike the
ground till few seconds later.
"When you lose pedal, don't get
off and go back to look for it. It's right
there on the machine, and if you'll feel
around long enough you'll find it again.
Should you find runaway horse on
your trail keep close to the curb until
he has passed. Then make squirt and
seize him by the tail and put on the
brake.
Never kill pedestrian when it can
be avoided, but when you do kill one
dismount and say you're sorry"

TWO WAYS OF JUDGING.
A Question as to Points on which Awards
Should he Made.


The judging of trotting and pacing
horses in the show ring is at best an
arduous and thankless task, one which
comparatively few men are competent
to perform. To assist committees OF
award in their work in the standard
bred rings various scales Of points have
been formulated, the main object in
their formulation being to dictate the
points in the history and character Of
the animals to be considered and to set
down a specific value for each of them.
In cases where the card is used tho value
attached by the judges to the points of
merit passed upon become matter OF
record, as the cards show the judges
figures upon which the award was
based. The whole principle of the score
card is nevertheless misleading and
ineffective one further than in its use
as mere memorandum. 1t is not,
however, with the abstract principle OF
score card or no score card that we have
to deal at the present time, but with
the general management and classifica-
tion of standard bred horses at our great
shows and fairs There are many who
contend that good breeding, individuali-
ty and action should be the sole points
on which an award is made, and this
contention is ever worthy Of considera-
ton. 1t is stated by those who view this
proposition favorably that the prizes
offered for competition among animals
exhibited alone should be distributed
with reference to the points last named
only and without relation to past ex-
ploits on the track or in the stud. The
group and family prizes, they maintain,
were instituted for the purpose of honor
ing great sires. In such classes let stall
lions be shown with their colts and let
the decision be made on the merits of the
animals exhibited with the stallion and
not ON what may be learned from the
records.
On the other hand, it is commended by
an equally large number of good judges
that standard bred horses should not be
judged as other members of the equine
race, that more is required of them, and
that stations should be placed in rela-
ton to their merits in individuality,
breeding, speed record and number of
colts in the standard lists.
There is great deal to be said on
both sides Of the question, and it is more
than likely that before another meeting
of the crack show horses of the country
some definite rules will be laid down as
to the points upon which the award is
to be made. In that case each exhibitor
and the public will know exactly what
to expect, and those who do not &C.
quiesce in the requirements of the regu-
lations established will have the privi-
lege Of keeping their favorites in their
stables or staying at home themselves. -

Brother Shutdown White arose to
make an inquiry. Was it the intention
of the club to advise the widow to have
bicycle cut on the judges tombstone
in connection with the usual epitaph?
He had heard rumors to that effect, and
he thought the idea good one. The
picture should show the bike standing
on its hind legs, with a ferocious look
on its face and the body Of the judge lib

territory.

How Women Bowl.

Women bowl scientifically. They ap.
preciate the exercise as a means of phys
ical culture, as we'll as an amusement
The feeling Of wild exultation that fills
the breast Of the gentlest Of her sex
when she sees the entire group Of pins
tottering as her well directed ball en-
tiers their midst is scarcely as lasting
an emotion as her sense of delight in
the strengthened muscles, heightened
color and increased suppleness of body
that is bound to result from course Of
bowling according to the established
rules.
Women almost invariably bowl quick
ly. The short preliminary run is mere
dash, and the ball speeds toward the
pins as though impelled by electricity.

International Athletics.

The feeling in Oxford athletic circles
in favor of an international varsity
match next year is very strong. In re-
gard to the admission of professionals
into the amateur ranks of the London
Athletic club Oxford athletic men took
very decided stand, practically threat
ening that if it were continued Oxford
university amateurs would withdraw
and have nothing to do With the lead
ing amateur club, and would, SO to
speak, set up for themselves.
Similar feelings are reported from
Cam bridge, where also the idea of meet
ing teams from Yale and Harvard finds
full favor.

Capturing MOsby.

The truth of the following comical
war story Is vouched for by it's mar
rat0r, John Esten Cooke. A body
OF Federal cavalry had approached
very near the Confederate lines. and
two or three of them who had gone to
forage came to cabin in the woods,
and, after carefully reConnOitering,
raped at the door. \ negro woman
answered the knock and seemed very
much disturbed at the sight of the
bluecOatS.
We want some supper"
eyes, sir"
"But first, is there anybody here ~
" No, sir"
L" Are you sure ?"
son, they amt nobody here but
me-'cept-"
" Except who? ?"
"Only Colonel Mosby, sir"
"CoIoncl Moshy - exclaimed the
speaker, with at least three excla-
nation points in his accent and get
ting hastily into his saddle.
" Are you joking ?" he added. -
"l0u'd better not. Is Colonel
Mosby here?"
e-eS, Sir,n stammered the old
woman, in great terror, and at the
same moment low noise like that
produced by the footsteps of a man
was heard inside.
No sooner did the men hear this
than they turned their horses heads
and galloped off to their command,
where great excitement at once en-.
sued.
Ii was necessary to act with eau
ton. Mosby's desperate courage
was well known, and he would make
all the Stouter resistance because he
was sure to be hanged to the first
tree If he were captured-as bush
whacker' and an outlaw.
Elaborate preparations were made,
the cabin surrounded, and the door
suddenly burst open. Men rushed
in with cooked pistols. But no rebel
was to be found.
Where is Mosby?" thundered
the officer.
Oh, there he is," was the trem-
bling woman's reply.
Where ?"
"There, SIR" and the woman
pointed to the cradle.
What do you mean ?"
"Oh, sir ! don't mean-I didn't
mean nothin! | call him Mosby,'
sir - Colonel MoSby;' sir-that's
his name, sir"
Awaiting her doom she stood
trembling before the intruders. They,
on their part, looked from the wo-
man to the baby, which was sucking
away at its thumb. They scowled,
growled, took another look, and saw
that the old womon had told the
truth. They then burst out laugh
ing, took to their horses, and were
soon out of sight.
