BICYCLE GEAR.


Rolla c. Carpenter, the professor OF ex-
perimental engineering at Cornell univer-
sity, whose knowledge as a mechanical
expert is well known, and who can be re-
garded as Trustworthy, makes the state
ment that no better power conveyer can
be found than the chain which is today in
use on the bicycle. This Is interesting, es-
peclally In view of the fact that indica-
tions point toward the Introduction OF a
chainless wheel for next season. Profess
sor Carpenter, in a communication to a
newspaper in the town wherein the uni
verslty is located, makes the following
statements:
"our Investigations are not entirely
completed at the present time, but It
seems safe to announce that all of the
tests Indicate that no form of gearing
can possibly equal the best chain for ef-
hciency and durability. Some of the re-
suits of the tests may be interesting, and
II may be briefly stated that the friction
with the best chain varied from one-half
to thre1-quarters OF per cent, and this
result was not only obtained with a new
chain but was also obtained with a chain
which had been in use on a wheel that
had been ridden for more than 1000 miles
by rider weighing nearly 200 pounds
Ihis would serve to show that high-grade
chains can be and ere made which do not
change their form by wear an amount suf-
hctent to affect the friction. Tests were
made on large number OF other chains
and the friction was found to vary from
to per cent, depending upon the con-
struction and details of design. The high
est friction We have found, even in the
case OF an old chain which did not tit the
sproeket properly, did not exceed 10 per

an III. sv-rvund boxing bout given oy
the American Sporting club at Music
hall last night Hugh Fitzsimmons, of
Brooklyn, was given the decision over
Marty McCue, of New York city. The
bout was very evenly contested. Nc
Cue was clearly the cleverer boxer, but
FitZsimmons forced the fighting and
was entitled to the decision.
Two unusually fast around prelim-
mary events were presented. A crowd
of about $50 persons saw the sport. Pat
Murphy ofliclated as referee and Eddie
Coleman as timekeeper for the club.
At o'clock Fitzsimmons and Nc
Cue weighed in at Purcells bath estab-
lishment. Both men were under the
limit, 126 pounds. When they entered
the ring the Brooklynite appeared to
be-and probably was--four or FIVE
pounds heavier than his opponent. He
also had the best of height and reach.
In his corner were Dick Moore, the st.
Paul middleweight, and Barley Man.
gan and Tony Gordon, of this city. Nc
Cue was handled by Professor James
DE Forrest, boxing instructor of A. @.
Spalding & Co.'s sporting goods house
w. d. Fitzgerald, a friend of the lat
WI o'Hu es liiSdtSl OI OD6Ontd,
N. Y, and Paddy Hopkins, Of this
city.
Excepting the first four rounds, which
were wholly in the New Workers. favor,
description Of any subsequent round
up to near the wind-up, would nearly
apply to all the rounds. Early in the
battle Fitzsimmons was very faulty in
his Judgment of distance, and all his
attempts at leading or forcing were
met by straight lefts in the face or
right punches over the heart. McCue
was evidently letting the Brooklynite
do the work, and was giving him pun
ishment in return.
McCue did not change his tactics, but
after the fourth round Fitzsimmons
seemed to gain strength and to occa-
sionally find his man with both left
and right. While Fitzsimmons was do
ing the work McCue was content to
bide his time and respond occasionally,
nearly always with the same straight
lefts for the face or right jabs on the
body.

FAST, CLEAN WORK.

Az no stage OF the game was either
man In danger of going out though the
fighting was brisk, incessant and clean
cut. Scarcely a swing found it's mark
during the battle and very few were
attempted. The pair were doing good
tWo-handed work, clinching seldom
and breaking clean.
In the seventeenth round Fitzsim-
mons superior strength began to make
itself more manifest than at any time
during the bout; he did not, however,
wear the New Yorker down. The lat
ter was still jabbing away against
odds and was landing frequently. Dur
ing the nineteenth and twentieth
rounds McCue was clearly giving evil
dence of the pace set by his opponent,
though the latter apparently had left
as much hitting power as ever and was
very strong.
When Referee Murphy gave Fitzsim-
mons the decision the latter attempted
the customary act of walking to the
opposite corner and proffering a hand
shake. but McCue declined to accept
the courtesy and made his way through
the ropes and out Of the ring.
The curtain-raiser was a four-round
affair between John Mangan, Of Belle
vue, and Mike Mclaughlin 135-pound
men. The latter was declared the WIN
ner. A draw was the decision given in
the around, 140-pound bout, between
John Kelly, of the South Side, and Pat
Gibbons, of Pittston. The pair did
some vicious work and were we'll
pumped out at the finish.
Altogether the nights entertainment
resulted in more than meeting all that
had been promised by the American
club and its manager, Jack Skelly. The
club has yet to present its first ques-
tionable bout.
On Sept. 16, Bobby Dobbs, the coll
ored lightweight champion of the
middle west, and Martin Judge, of
Philadelphia, will box twenty rounds
under the American clubs auspices.

The Sauk Centre herald., 1897-08-19

SENATOR Knute Nelson left the
merchants Tuesday afternoon, to re-
turn to his home at Alexandria. In
an Interview with q St. Paul Globe
reporter, the senator said that he had
just been appointed chairman Of the
senate subcommittee TO look after the
government dams and reservoirs Of
the Mississippi, and report to the
next session. Senator Vest had been
appointed chairman, but could not
serve hence this change. The COM
mittee will meet in st. Paul, Septem-
Der Is, and. will make a tour of the
upper Mississippi, making careful
examination Of the dams, especially
as to their flowage and capacity, and
he will be away on the trip several
weeks. This is considered te be pre-
liminary to the expenditure Of good
ly sum in the near future for the inn
.provement of the Father OF Waters.
What about the distribution of
federal patronage, and how big a
slice of it will MINES ota get? qpes-
toned the reporter.
'sThat's something Iscannot talk
about just now, was the answer. i
believe though that we will get our
full share, and that the appointments
will give general satisfaction; beyond
that I cannot say
