Isaac B. Potter, who was elected
President of the League Of American
Wheelmen, has been prominent in the
cycling world for many years. His ac-
cession to the highest Office OF the
wheeling organization Is, in the cstima-
ton Of most cyclists, n fitting tribute
to his efforts to procure for bicyclists
what they most desire-good roads. SO
hard has he struggled for improved
highways that he became universally
known as GOOD Roads" Potter. Five
years ago he established an Office In
New York for the purpose of spreading
the gospel of better roads. Through
his efforts tons of literature have been
circulated in every quarter of the
United States. They fairly shrieked
good roads. Thousands OF draft horses

theirs eyes canopied with canvas hoods.

her sixteenth birthday, and halls from
Troy, n. Y. On the stage she looks the
child she really is. Her slim, gaunt,
undeveloped figure, with its serious
face and big, piercing eyes, by no
means reveals the fires that are be-
meath.
Her early paths in the dramatic art
were not different from those Of ordi-
nary beginners. Amateur theatricals,
little plays at school and similar enter
tainments served to awaken in her q
desire to do something serious. Mans
fields company was in the city one day.
and she went to his hotel and told him
of her ambition. The famous actor
must have been in particularly gra-
cious mood, for he listened to her re-
citing and then offered her a place in
his company.
She has advanced with marvellous
rapidity, and in his New York produc-
ton of THE Merchant Of Venice" was
cast for the part Of Jessica. She has
played the part before during the pres
ent season, and the dramatic critics
have taken to her most kindly.
Mr.. Mansfield personally coaches her
in her work, and he certainly would not
make the prediction he did unless the
prospects held out rosy promises for its
fulfilment.

Alderman, Esq, progresses surprisingly
and satisfactorily. A most attractive
exhibition is assured. Besides the
chief collection of miscellaneous pic.
lures in oil. water colors, engraving
and etching, several rooms will be
given up to the display of special sub
jects; one, to pieces representing rest
and night; one, to humor and comedy;
one to winter; while in the Library
will be found the faces of musicians
and OF authors with scenes from their
works. In other rooms will be dis
played bewilderipg array of exquisite
china and art needle work.
Aside from the charitable causes to
which the proceeds are to be given,
this exhibition will deserve the patron
age of all who enjoy the beaties of art.
1t will open next Tuesday evening and
remain open through the rest of the
week; speak a good word for it to your
out -of-town friends and advertise it
wherever you go. Above all, see that
you do not miss attending yourself.
