Philadelphia Record.
Philadelphia has had many notable ma
tional conventions within the past few
years which have redounded to her honor
and glory; but neither Philadelphia nor
any other city in the world has ever had
such a gathering of bicyclers of both sexes
as that which has heightened the pictur-
esqueness of the highways of the city for
the past week. If the attendance was
surprise to Philadelphans, it was scarce
ly less surprise to the participants them
selves, and both to the hostess and her
guests the occasion was an experience the
delights Of which will long abide in their
memories.
Philadelphia could have had no more ap-
with their perceptive faculties quckened by
travel they were enabled to note as no
other tourists could have done the extent
of the city, the beauty of its architecture
and in general the excellent condition OF
the streets for cycling uses Add to these
external charms the warmth of hospitality
and the glad sense of kindship which greet
ed them at every turn, and it was ineVita-
BILE that our visitors should bear away with
them to the far corners of the land good
accounts of the Quaker City which shall
not only exalt her fame but tend to en-
nance her mercantile prosperity Viewed
be a powerful auxiliary to the promotion
of the city's welfare and business sagacity
will join hands with higher motives in fur
therng every movement which shah en-
courage their coming and tend to make
their stay enjoyable.

Results of the bicycle Meet.

Hnlidueipnla IlneS.
Whether any practical results are to be
expected from this week of cycling beyond
the enjoyment it has afforded to many
thousands of men and women, it IS difficult
to say. No doubt, it has given some addi-
tional impetus to the universal disposition
to take to the wheel, but this seemed al
ready strong enough. It will probably slim
ulate professional riding, which is partly a
sport and partly an adjunct of the bicycle
business, but it's more important effect is in
consolidating the interest and influence of
those who ride for their own pleasure in
the right regulation of the use Of the wheel
and in the promotion OF those public inn
provements that, while necessary TO the
wheelman's comfort, must benefit the whole
community.
For what this demonstration brings most
strongly into mind is that the wheel
men with all their peculiar cOmradeshfp
are no longer to be regarded as an isolated
group. They take in all classes and cOndi-
tons and the bicycle has become not mere
~ the luxury of the few. but the necessity
OF the many potent factor in our mod
ern life that Is modifying many habits and
customs and even many ideas that were
supposed TO be immutable. Its reign may
not be permanent but certainly IL has not
vet reached it's last development and we
may look for a still further multiplication
of bicycles. even here in Philadelphia
where they are already numerous fol-
lowing this midsummer festival OF the L.

LEGALITY OF BICYCLE TAX.
A Chicago Decision Raises Il Question
in indianapolis.

If q decision rendered by Judge Tuley of
Chicago, is good law there is a possibility
OF a source of revenue being cut off from
the indianapolis city treasury. A few days
ago Judge Tuley held an ordinance taxing
vehicles to be invalid far as it applied
to bicycles and other vehicles used solely
for pleasure" and not for traffic. The In
dianapolis charter, under the section Civ
ing the Common Council power to regulate
occupations, provides that it may "regu-
late and license the use of coaches hacks,
drays, and all other vehicles for the trans
portation of passengers, freight or other
articles to or from points within said CITY,
for hire or pay" Another clause gives the
Council power ITO license, tax and regulate
wheeled vehicles, provided that the funds
derived therefrom shall be applied only to
the maintenance and repair of streets and
alleys" The Supreme Court of the State
has held bicycles to be vehicles" within
the meaning of the law and the Council
accordingly included them in the licensing
ordinance.
In his opinion Judge Tuley referred to an
Indiana case. He said it was not in point,
as the city was given power to regulate
the use Of streets by vehicles" He held
that the power to regulate the use of
streets could only refer to police regulations
ana cannot be hefd to authorize tax or
license TO use that which is free to the
public or entire State. He held also that
the ordinance could not be held valid on
the contention that the city has power to
improve streets by special taxation or
otherwise as the use of the word other
wise does not authorize the singing out
OF specified personal property or a class of
the community to be taxed licensed in
order to raise a fund to improve streets.
One clause of the decision seems to APP
ply directly to the Indianapolis charter
1t says:
The power to tax must be specially
granted. and the power to license is limited
by charter Ghe Chicago charter to IL
censing of occupations and cannot be held
to eXtend-by implication--to the imposing
of a license fee on personal property with
out regard to the business or occupation in
which it ia used"
The rendition of such a decision in In
dianapolis would mean that only vehicles
used as part and parcel of mans business
or occupation could be subjected to a IL
cense fee, and that private carriages. bug
gies bicycles and other vehicles simply
ure of the owner would be exempt
The attorney for Chicago gave notice that
he would appeal the case to a higher court
In the absence of City Attorney Curtis
and his deputy it could not be ascertained
yesterday whether. in their opinion the
Chicago decision might have a bearing on
the indianapolis charter, providing the
question Is raised.

RasehnII Notes

Rain fell at Grand Rapids yesterday and
the Bobs and the Blues rested.
c. B.-"Sam" Thompson is still on the
roster of the Philadelphia club. He is not
in good health and has spent most of the
season at Michigan resorts.
Manager Wagner, of the Washington
team, announces that he has secured Gott-
man and Fox. GOttman is the crack center
fielder of the Fort Worth team and Fox
is captain of the Cooperstown N. Y or

ones and Roat robbed him of a fourth by a
clever stop in the third inning. Mac will
not be long in reaching the 400 mark if
pretty likely to do so. Kahoe got three
hits and pretty nearly every one had a
shy at 'old Hutch"
Kellum has a fine assortment of curves
and can hand them UP fast or slow to suit
his man. He will do for the fast company
of the Western League, but is likely to be
kept in reserve for the next few weeks The
three crack pitchers of the league-Goar
Foreman and Phillfps-are doing such good
work now that they will probably be kept
at the slab every three days until the flag
is "cinched.'
Goar will pitch this afternoon in the
second Minneapolis game, and Phillip the
active young man who recently bothered
the leaders up in the Flour City, is to be
his opponent Watkins men will go right
after the pitcher with the antique name,
and the chances are they will land on him
prettily heavily. Tomorrow there will be a
''double- header" and these games are the

dianapolis boomers, who have made some
thing of a hit while in this city. Mayor
Taggart left yesterday morning for his
home in the Hoosier capital. but before
he departed he found time to say few
words with regard to his opinion of Phila-
delphians as entertainers.
Il do not know that we have been shown
any special favors not enjoyed by other
visitors" he said, land from the cordial

BREMMEMER GROWS VIOLENT.
The Ex-Firemnn Perhaps Insane-Pit-
iful Conditions at His Home.

George Bremmemer, a fireman who was
dismissed from the service of the city
few weeks ago for characterization is
thought to be insane and was last night
sent to Jail. He lives with his family at
No. Sal Lord street. About o'clock last
night the police were notified that Brem
memer was creating a disturbance at his
home. Patrolmen Holtz and Wallace were
sent out and found a pitiful condition of
affairs in Bremmemer's home. 1t is said
that his wife is hopelessly i'll, and the po-
lice found her very low last night Early
In the evening she had expressed a desire
TO see a minister and a clergyman was
summoned. When the police arrived at the
mouse Bremmemer was storming about
the place. He had compelled the minister
to leave and 1t was feared by the family
that he would become more violent Mrs
Bremmemer was lying moaning on the bed
and neighbor was tanning her Her
mother was in the house, but had been
unable to do anything with Bremmemer
The police had some difficulty in getting
him away, but he finally consented to go
with them. Just before his investigation
by the Board of Safety, Bremmemer wan
dered away from home and was gone for
several days. 1t was feared at the time
that he had lost his mind. He afterwards
attempted suicide.

other. The judge, going into restaurant
for an early breakfast met an old acquaint-

and all that and then launched into an ac-
count of his recent sport. He had never
enioyed himself so much in his life The
fish had been biting spendidly. He had
broken the record in the matter of a single

Looking at his acquaintance, he asked:

Cycle Racing.


Cycle racing Will soon be classed as the
most uncertain of all sports, whereas it
should be just as reliable as athletics The
manner in which the races are run is re-
spons. bic for this, as in place of their being
a test of speed ii is reduced TO a question
of chance in getting the right place for the
final effort. Cycling writers, in place of
calling this joekeying would be the case
in any other sport. elevate these tricky
riders into experts by speaking of their
display OF head sense. 1t is an excellent
thing for cycling that it is not.used as
medium for betting speculation, Tor If such
was the case 1t would be impossible to get
people to believe that the races were ION
the level" This applies to amateur as well
as professional events, and an excellent IL
lustration of the ups and downs in the rec
ord is to be found in the defeat of Bald at
Trenton yesterday. after he won at Man
haitian Beach on Friday. 1t is on the other
hand fortunate for the handicappers I'm
many cases that this style of racing is the
fashion, for in far too many cases 1t Is APP
parent that the starts are the result of
guesswork and but for the rear men wait

would be great showing up OF poor handi-
caDDtug.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Aug, g. - AT II
o'clock tonight $50 visiting wheelmen had
registered at headquarters for the state
meet of the l.. a. w, which begins to-
morrow. Some of these came in from
Charlottesville on the evening train and
were part of the body of tourists who came
down from Hammond ard other points.
They found the roads too dusty to finish
the trip on their wheels, and took the
train. 1t is believed that other tourists
on other routes have abandoned the tours
and will come in on the morning trains.
The business houses along the line of the
prize parade tomorrow will be decorated
before morning. In nearly all of the eight
races for tomorrow there are more riders
entered than can start, and preliminaries
will be held before the parade TO select
twelve men for each race The handicap
pers have completed their work, and it
meets with satisfaction on the part of the
professional riders.
