CYCLING TALK.

A novelty in bicycles that gives mo.
tion similar TO that of cantering horse
has recently been invented.
The awakening of heretofore too busy
men and women to realization of the
benefits Of outdoor exercise and the pleas.
ure Of short excursions away from the
humdrum life of stuffy cities to the beau.
tiful country is an achievement that will
work untold good not only In this but In
future generations and Ia but one of many
that the bicycle Is responsible for.
1t Is a physiological law that any action
performed automatically gives rise to
comparatively little fatigue. The heart
works automatically. 1t never rests, and
it is never tired-till death. And so, o.,
course, in minor degree with cycling.
This and this alone explains the otherwise
marvellous feats of champion riders. Who.
ever heard of any one in any other sport
going on for 20 hours at stretch.
The raising up of mammoth industry
and the production of inventions that
are being utilized In widely different chan.
nels in the developing of the country, in
which good roads are bound to play no un
important part, are but few things that
the bicycle has been the means Of and is
daily doing. In woman's sphere It's infiu.
ence has been mighty, changes being pro.
jected and carried out that years of fruit.
less agitation has failed toaccomplish, and
the work Is by no means ended.

'To Robert Fitzsimmons, champion OF

pionship of the world under the provisions

PHILADELPHIA, Penn, April 21.-Fitz-
simmons last night declared that he meant
to pay no attention to challenges from
Corbett or anybody else for time, as he
had earned rest and meant to have it.
He added, however, that he proposed to
follow Corbett's example as dictator of the

ter should earn a reputation as fighter
instead Of boxer before he presumed to
challenge him.

in handling everything that came their
way, bat both the out and infield men on
the High School team were kept busy.

TAUNTON, April 21.-The game between

was played yesterday afternoon with the

The 500 spectators present did not look
for good work, and II was soon apparent
that a combination of cold and nervous
ness was working to the disadvantage Of
the home team.
There was no specially brilliant playing
at any period Of the game. The work of
the Boston infield was better than that Of
the home team, but Duffy at short fumbled
two grouhders, which resulted In Taunton
scoring the only two runs they made.

The Grsys met the Philadelphia League

started out for the game turned back be-
fore they reached the grounds.
The brilliant running catch of Lyons,
who captured fly after hard run from
doep centre TO short left, was the feature
OF the game. Fitield, who occupied the
box for the visitors, did not think it wise
to have his catcher run the chance of in
Jury In an exhibition game, and confined
his pitching to straight ball. The home
team were not able to get but eight hits
from this style Of delivery.
Egan Of Providence, however, exerted
himself to give all the various styles In
vogue, and pitched both high and low,
swift and slow. The visitors are credited
with the same number of hits as their OPP
poDents.. George Cunningham acted as
umpire and gave general satisfaction.

In another engagement upon the La
Luisa estate, near Port Cabanas, be-
tween Mariel and Bahia Honda, the
Spanish column had 80 killed and up
wards of 100 wounded.
This was in Weyler's so-calied paci-
fed district. The insurgents. after the
fight, retired into their fortified po-
sitions in Maceo's old stronghold, the
Ruhi hills.
The writer telegraphed, ordering six
companies to march against them, but
not a word of the defeat at La Luisa
