Michael partisans are just as confident
that the little wonder will sweep all rec
ords and leave the field worlds cham
pion. But to do this he will have another
speedy one to conquer-to wit, John y.
johnson. The Minneapolis man will leave
his skates at home and be prepared to push
his Medals harder than he ever did befora.
The Johnson Michael races will also be
three In number.
These matches will rank among the
greatest In cycling history. The three
men arc famous oil over the world and
have made and broken records In every
CLINE.
Besides these events, number OF other
contests have been arranged for the benefit
of the other cracks who will be present.
In these the leading racing men OF both
continents will participate. Teddy Hale,
the winner of the six day race at New
York; Tony johnson, Sam Linton, Chap
pie, Kid Warburton and the others In
Plummer's foreign aggregation will meet
the fastest riders In America. These races
will be made on the famous Panama track,
the pride Of Jacksonville and, indeed, OF
the entire state of Florida.
There are four other excellent tracks in
Florida, and cycle races will be held at
each of these points during the present
month and the early part of February. A
little later, at the Mardi Gras celebration
In New Orleans, q cyclic tournament that
will last week has been provided for.
This meet Is to be an exceptionally bril-
liant and interesting affair. Nothing is
done by halves i'm the Crescent City, and
the citizens arc particularly on their met
tie at Mnrdi Gras time. The committee in
charge of the cycling meet Is full of enter
prise and will, It Is said, provide many
novelties in the way of prize competitions
Other meets arc in prospect in variou,
other southern statos, slthough no definite
scbeduls has as yet been formulated.

Nearly all the cracks In the country will

I have heard quite lately that Mr.. GladS
stone himself was rather disposed to uns
derrate the amount of interest which he
took. while at Oxford in out-of-door pur-
suits. One or two If his few surviving
contemporaries may have been heard to
oeclare that Gladstone held as good .
place among the Oxford athletes Of his
time az ne did among the Woodworking
students. 1t is possible enough that In
later days the mind:of the great states.
man aud the great student may have lost
Its memory of the physical exercises
which were less . passion OF his tempera.
ment and his nature than the working OF
the intellect and the development Of the
brain. One can only say that 1t is hard to
believe in Mr.. Glaostons turning his
attention to anything physical or intel.
lectual without becoming more or less suc-
cessful in the attempt.
1t is curious fact that when his office
of president of the Oxford Union cams
| to an end ne was succeeded by his friend,
| afterward Cardinal Manning. 1t 10 .
| curious fact, too, not unworthy Of
record, that among the friendships be
made at Oxford was that of Mr.. Martin
Fsrquhar Tupper. The general public
now has lost all memory of Mr.. Tuppers
Tuppsr was, however, a man well known
| in his day. He was the author OF =
book called "Proverbial Philosophy" =
book which probably had at one time .
larger circulation than any OF the novels
Of Dickens and Thackery, or the writings
| of Carlisle, or even the essays OF LORD
Macauley. 1t was a book composed alto
getner of gentle platitudes, each platitude
| carrying with 1t a we'll meaning moral
purpose. The genial platitudes ceased to
interest after time and Tupper faded
out OF the minds OF even the dplicst
among us. / remember friend telling
me, many years ago that he had just
come from literary party where be had
been sitting between the two extremes
of poetry; between Alfred Tennysor on
the one hand and Martin Tupper on the
other. Upper first adored Gladstone and
wrote poems to him, then for q while hs
turned against him, and afrerward went
always kind to Tupper. invited him tc
his house; always read and answered hid
letters. (which must have been terribly
boring work., and proved that be had
