Many people in America claim descent
from the Pilgrim fathers. There might be
a very considerable number if we come To
THINK OF It. For instance. let US assume the
number OF married DeODle among the first
hundred who survived the first winter as
twenty couples. We will allow them three
children apiece, We will give to each of
these children, two-a large allowance, it is
true. Then we have for each married
couple: For the first generation, three de-
Sc~endants; for the second. six; for the
thlrd, twelve; for the fourth, twenty-four;
Tor the NTH, forty-eight; for the sixth,
ninety-siX; for the seventh, 1872; for the
eighth, 1884; for the ninth and the present
generation, 76S. And for the original twenty
married couples, $3.50. SO that the living
descendants of the May1ower Pilgrims can
hardly be more than about fifteen thou
sand. Out of these a great many have
probably clean forgotten their descent.
Probably there are not anything like ten
thousand.
If were an American, I should certainly
like to be one of that ten thousand. Not
that | feel the least attraction to a narrow
ana fanatic religion, but because the Pill
grim fathers made so fierce a light for ex-
istence and a place where they could think
as they pleased, and allow no one else to
think as he might please. Ancestry, in this
country, at least, is chiefly a matter of Sc
lection. The people who keep up their
~genealogIes drop out, as they go along,
numberless branches; people who wish tc
recover their genealogies have got tc
hitch on" at one of the dropped branches
Every marriage in a genealOgy is a kline
of junction, where many lines may meet
Now, the business of the genealogist is tc
look up all the functions, to follow up each
one, and to choose the line which offers the
most desirable alliances. Some years age

ticipated match race between owen Kimble,
star of the Outing bicycle team, and Z. G.
Bald. American champion, which was to
have been contested this afternoon at the
Fountain Ferry track here. was necessar-
lily postponed until Monday afternoon, ow-
ing to the %downpour Of rain. Both men
were in readiness for the event.
Kimble in particular being trained to the
minute. He was greatly disappointed when
it became an assured fact that the track
would not be in condition for the race, and
il is possible that the delay may inJure his
chances. Bald. on the other hand, stated
that the postponement was entirely salts
factory to him, owing to the fact that he
had. during the past week, CONTRACTED a
slight cold, which he is in hopes will have
left him by Monday.
Visitors from all parts of the surrounding
country within a 500-mile radius are in the
city to witness the match, many Of whom
will remain over until the race has been
decided. An attempt is being made to run
excursions into Louisville Monday, and
should the negotiations terminate success
fully it is expected that a big crowd will
view the match race between kimble and
