COMING CYCLING EVENTS.
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
at Jacksonville Fla, will follow, and
then a trip through the South, taking
in Savannah, Augusta, Macon, Charles
ton, Atlanta, Memphis, Nashville, Biz
mingham, Chattanooga, Louisville and
thence West From that point the rae
ing men will slowly make their way
East joining in Philadelphia in August.
where the annual meet of 4he League
of American Wheelmen will be given.
At this point and time the national
championships of the season will be
given, and it is here the interest in
racing centers each season.
Besides the two L. A. w. champion
ships, the Intercollegiate Athletic
union will give a Championship con-
test at Manhattan Beach track in New
York early in June, and unusual inter
est will center in this event, as the col
leges have cultivated great rivalry.

majority Of the championships, al

be held in Scotlandszthis year during

LOCAL BICYCLE NOTES.

Timid feminine cyclists should court
an affinity to the little, striped garter
snake, as he is very numerous across
the suburban cycle path.
Henry Fieg, the popular Kandiyohi
statesman, who has been meditating
the purchase of a wheel ever since the
session closed, has just bought a buggy,
much to the disappointment of his
cycling friends. He bought a wheel for
his little son.
A. H. Jones mourns the loss Of a val
liable collection of cycle buttons and
souvenirs. 1t was taken from the
Thistle Cycle company's window.
A. B. Atkinson, promipent in cycle
circles in the days of velocipedes and
high steeds, will make second debut
today He is also after the Hanson
1O0-mile road record.
A unique ad is noticed on Summit
avenue. Two bicycles joined by
coupler with a sail set between them
giving the appearance Of a yacht. The
sail is a good sized one, can be lowered
or run up, and can be turned so as
to catch the wind advantageously. 1t
is a rental agency's ad. The lettering
is picturesque, and the general effect
striking.
The Metropolitan theater ushers will
take a run to Minnetonka today, under
the generalship of Henry Lowenthal.

SEASON OPENED AT MORRIS PARK.
Grand Stand a Blaze of Brilliant
Color and the Track Fast and
Hard.

NEW YORK, May S.-This was a
gala day at Morris park, the occasion
being. the opening Of the regular rae
ing season in the state Of New York
The splendid race course was never in
better condition, the buildings being
spick and span, the infields and lawns
like velvet, and the track fast and
moderately hard. The grand stand was
a blaze Of color, Dame Fashion hav-
ing decided upon gaudy reds and pur-
pies for this spring, and her mandates
having been faithfully obeyed. The
interest was more or less perfunctory
in the first and, second races, but when
August Belmont won the Juvenile
stakes there was a good deal of ap-
plause. The real interest, however,
was not shown until the Metropolitan
was run.
1t was 4:3O when the horses arrived
at the post for the big event, and af-
ter a slight delay they started on their
journey in excellent order. Hanwell
was first to show in the lead, but in
an instant Voter flashed in front of
him, and in the first quarter had open

There have been fewer changes In
the record table of 1896 than in any
within the history of the league. The
records made by A. A. Hanson, OF
Minneapolis, on Aug. Is, 1895, are yet
the accepted times. These records run
from twenty-siX to sixty miles for anna
teurs in competition. More remarka-
ble still are the records made by Lau-
rens S. Meintjes. .e South African,
whose visit to the United States in 1893
was one of the most brilliant in the his
rory of American Cycling. Mr.. Meint-
les broke the most important long dis
lance records in the books, and gave
Americans their first taste Of record
breaking. Of course, there had peen
broken records before, but MeinlJes
gave us the first good taste OF II.
Maintias still holds the amateur two

record of 1O7 miles, made In 1884. AL All,

the existing record, then he has, OF
course been successful. He is then re-
o,1ired to fill out a blank, explaining
his STYLE of record which he has just
made. whether it is flying start or
standing start, paced or unpaced, com,
netition or against time, &c. When all
this is recorded to suit the master or
ceremonies, the timers certify to the

I ahe record was made, and then the
whole is sworn to before a notary.
This is all sent to the racing board
chairman. If he thinks the attempt

It was but a few seconds more when
they were at the seven furlong post

Voter to come back to them found
there was a lot of run left in him and

hard at work on Hastings, but the

not gain an inch; in fact, he was Slip

continuous supply of vapor for the first cylin-

This makes it plain to be seen that by the
means described continuous rotary mo

to the wheel of the bicycle. In this way an
even, and if desired, terrific speed can be

imaginable. This suffices to convey
the impression of superior COM
