ROYAL SUCCESSION.
How II IL Governed In Various Euro
pean Countries.

The empress of Russia has presented
cZar is said to be elated as a father, but
to be disappointed as u sovereign. This
is but way of saying that his next
brother, Grand Duke George, is still
heir to the throne. The grand duke is
probably no less disappointed than the
head of the house. His health is very
delicate, and he has to pass most of his
time on the Mediterranean. The two
infant daughters have but extremely
remote chances of the succession. They
are not wholly excluded, but all posi-
BILE male heirs take precedence OF
them; that is TO say, in the present in
stance the czar's two brothers, and any
male children or children's children
they may have, to say nothing OF the
possible male heirs of the czar Al
present, however, neither of these
princes is married. On the extinction
of the last male line, the throne passes
into the female lines, according t6
their degree of proximity to the EN-
peror who reigned last. This was the
system established by Emperor Paul
and il is one of the three existing in
contemporary European states. I'm.
der the Sale system, which prevails in
Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Italy. Den
mark and Prussia, females are com
pletely excluded. In England male
heirs in the same degree of relation to
the sovereign exclude females, without
any regard TO priority of birth. Thus
| though the son of king may bt
younger than a daughter, the son sue
ceeds, as being in a closer degree of re
lationship. This is also in practice in
| Spain and Portugal, and il is callec
the cognate or CASTLE system. Tn,

The Century Run september 10.

Arrangements have been perfected for the
big century run of the Cycling Ramblers, to-
morrow, Sunday, September 18th, to Wrghts-
Vile, Pa, and return, and all that is needed
TO make the run a success is good weather
Entries have been coming in all the week,
and should the ratio continue until the close
of the entry list, Saturday night, 1T is safe to
assume that more than two hundred will start.
While the entries will nominally close Mt lOp
m., Saturday, late comers can enter at the
starting point, Pennsylvania avenue and Main
street, on the morning of the run, by tender
ing entry fee to the checkers, who will supply
them with the necessary checks. Arrange
ments have been made to take up checks at
Westminster, starting point, and at Littles.
town, ,Abbottstown and Wrightsville, going and
returning At the latter place the checks
will be handed to the Ticket Agent in the Of
fee at the end of the bridge over the Susque-
hanna river, and at the other points wbeelmen
will be stationed to collect the checks.
The design of the survivors medal has been
partially decided upon, which will be of gold
and suitable to be worn at all times and the
handsomest medal ever given on such an oc-
casion Any wheelmen can feel proud to
wear it at all times.
The attendance from outside districts prom
ises to be large, especially from Baltimore, a
number of clubs indicating their intention to
enter. A number Of ladies will probably
enter, and special arrangements will be made
for their comfort at the different stops along
the line.
As stated before, l6 hours will be allowed
each rider to make the run, and it will not be
necessary for them to ride faster than they
choose. The time allowed is little over six
miles per hour, and any one who can ride a
wheel can make this average without much
effort. The pacemakers will be started about
a. M. but late comers can have the privi-
lege of starting up to T a. m. Arrangements
have been made to leave entries at A. Fl.
Wentz's and J. Fl. Krichton's. 1t is hoped
the local wheelnen will all enter and make
this event memorable in cycling history.
