Gossip of the Ringside.

Some interesting calculations have been
made as to the amount OF money spent in
connection with the Carson fight in one way
or another. Including railroad fare, hotel
bills kilograms and many other things, it
is estimated that hftyathree minutes of fight
ing between Corbett and FitZsimmons caused
81 900 to change hands, This does not in
clude betting. 4
The remarkable interest manifested in the
big contest at Carson City is fairly demon
strated by the following figures showing the
number of words received by telegraph by the
various newspapers in this country from
March 3 until March IS: During the Repub-
lican national convention at st. Louis the
Western Union Telegraph company trans
mitted 422 600 words over its wires on the day
that President Mckinley was nominated. On
the day of Bryan's nomination at the Colise-
UNI in Chicago by the Democratic national
convention the Western Union carried 3S4. 600
words. From Carson City, New, on March
II. $50, coo words were transmitted. On March
16, the day before the fight. 125, 600 words, and
on March Is. IL, coo words. From March to
A. inclusive, 455.155 words passed over the
Western Union wires from Carson City thus
showing that from the time the interest in
this event first centered at Carson the press
OF this country received total Of 1036 1856
words of prize fight news by telegraph from
that city.

GOSSIP FOR CYCLISTS.

Some good advice on how to clean a chain
Is as follows: Procure a can about an inch
wider than the diameter of the chain when
coiled up. Get piece Of galvanized wire
cloth, with three-eighths or half-inch mesh
and have it cut into circular form about one
inch wider than the diameter of the can.
Make a number Of cuts half an inch deep
around the edge and bend the wire down,
making a continuous shoulder. and set it in
the can, thus making a raised false bottom.
Coil up the chain on it and pour in benzine
till 1t is covered to the depth of half an inch
In a couple Of minutes, agitate the chain by
pushing it from side to side of the can. Then
let it stand quietly for several minutes till
the loosened grit and grease have settled to
the bottom, when you lift your chain
perfectly clean out Of the clear benzine above
the wire. Pinch the edge of the can to form
a spout, you may, if economically minded
pour off the clear benzine to be used again.
Road racing promises to be more popular
this season than ever before in this coun-
try. This prediction is warranted by the
preparations being made in the East for more
and bigger races than were ever planned
before. The new handicaps Of twenty-fi five
miles each, in addition to the famous Irving
ton-Millburn, will make a trio Of big events
hard 70 match. These will take place within
a radius Of thirty miles of Greater New
York early in the season. There will be
numerous other important road contests in
that vicinity, the entire schedule overshadow-
ing any proposed in other sections Of the
country.
1t is by no means certain that the League
Of American Wheelmen will be represented
at the international championships to be
held this year in Scotland. but it is crafty
ing to the admirers OF the sport to know
that an effort is being made to send over a
team Of cracks. Albert. Mott chairman OF
the racing board, would like to see this
country represented, and it is believed that
President Potter is of the same mind. The
two officials will talk the matter oyer in a
few days and it is possible that some plan
may be reached whereby the league will be
ably represented in the great events.
The bicycle baggage bill passed by both
California houses has been signed by the

Luggage may consist of whatever the pass

and convenience. according to the habits or
wants of the particular class to which he
belongs, either with reference to the imme-

the journey. No crate, cover or other pro-

So far as Charlotte Smiths intentions are
to eliminate from bicycling associations and
practices what are essentially demoraliZing
she will have the sympathy of all respectable
girls and women who ride the wheel. But
her root and branch doctrine, which holds
that the wheel is an instrument Of the devil
for leading women astray, is about as in
sulting to the womanhood of this country as
it is ludicrous in it's extravaganza and fanati-
cism.

Cyclists should never try To mass too near

in passing too near horse the animal may

A movement to put bicycle thieves on an
equal footing with horse thieves in regard
to severity Of punishment has recently been
defeated in the Nebraska legislature. The
members who favored the bill, in retaliation

the present law against horse stealing.
A bicycle dealer may be a very good sales

DISCOVERED THE PAIR,
POupeny Claims HOnOrs ON Denzer
and Isabel.

Aaron Poupeny's attention was last
night called to the claim in an evening
paper that Poupeny did not bring out
Denzer. He said; ID
81 saw Denzer pitch several times in
1894 and 1895 and regarded him as a
winner. In August, 1895, I wired An
derSon, manager of the ST. Peter team
to have Denzer give the ST. Paul team
his terms. He reported in st. Paul, had
a talk with Capt. Pickett, and, on the
latter's advice, was signed by Comis-
key. My telegram is on file in the
local telegraph Office and antedates any
kilograms sent by others.
Il also discovered Isabel, who was
pitching at Virginia, when I visited that
town last summer. I watched his work
and made up my emind that he was
a wonder. He afterwards came to
North Branch, his home, from which
point I brought him to ST. Paul Both
Comiskey and Wilmot wanted him and
got into a jangle over signing him.
President Johnson awarded him to
COmiskey. 1 believe him a superior
man to Denzer, and, if given a chance
I think he will make the greatest pitch
er in the Western league"

PRIZE FIGHT PICTURES A FAILURE.
MAN Who Took the Kaleidoscope
Views at Carson Says They Are n
EiZzle.

F1zxIe.
NEW YORK, April 4-If the state
ments made by E. j. Rector are true
there is a dark future, or rather no
future, ahead for the kaleidoscope views
of the recent fisltic encounter in Car
SON, New. Rector ayers that he is not
worried about the prospect of legis-
lation that will cripple the business Of
giving peep-hole exhibitions Of the prize
fight 1t is the knowledge that the views
taken at the ring side are dismal fail
ures that is giving him Nightmares.
1t was this Rector who secured the
exclusive kaleidoscope privileges Of that
memorable battle between Corbett and
t1tzsimmOns. He had visions of mill
lions from the Photographic reproduc-
ton of the encounter. He spared no
expense to get a picture of every move
by the f1stic kings. When Corbett gave
up the ghost in the fourteenth round
there was no end of hustling among the
men who were aiming the big lenses
at the cory cOmbatants. All the agony
depicted in the features Of the fallen
prize lighter was studiOusly wrought
out in the plate. So Rector believed
But now. Rector says, the whole lot of
snap shots look like the first efforts Of
novice. When the plates were devel-
oped every defect known to photogra-
ply made it's unWelcome appearance.
The negatives were sent to the Edison
laboratory, in Orange, n. j., to be de-
veloped. Frank Cannon, of Rabb &
Cannon, managers Of the vitascope,
under whose direction the negatives
were being developed, confirms Rector's
statement. He says they are not pan
ming out
Rector says bids for the right to make
klnetoscope views of the fight were
received from England. France. Aus
tralia, South Africa and the Sandwich
islands, but that the defective plates
have set aside all thought of making
such contracts.

rarely do We sea as plain evidence Of
the admiration for the glutton which
certain people possess as that which the
daily papers some time ago afforded. A
well known bonifaoe died at an age
when he ought to have been enjoying
robust aud vigorous health. Some slight
mention was made of his business ven
lures, Of his daily life. Of his reason for
living. But all this part CT his exist
ence was immateiral and embarrassing.
The great and praiseworthy features Of
his life seem to have been gastronolnic
feats and a general ability to eat and
drink enormously. He was lauded as
the prince of bon vivants, the man who
could eat huge dinner and shortly
thereafter swallow brace Of broiled
Holsters and couple Of Welsh rabbits,
washed down with copious libations Of
vintages or distillases or fermentages.

Of bravado was apparently considered
by certain newspaper reporters as an
achievement fit to rank with a victory

miringly mentioned as though he were

his life in u worthy cause.
The newspapers were not creating q
sentiment, but merely catering to one
already formed in thus aiding gluttony.

that the epicurean philosophy still has
its cult, and that many a mans motto

we die" The case Is left to the moral
