BALTIMORE. May S.-The question of
the state meet is beginning to become in
teresting, and next Monday the successful
town securing the meet will be announced.
There has been a good deal of rivalry for
the honor, and at the last meeting of the
state division of the League of American
Wheelmen it was decided to let all of the
towns make bid for the meet. and then
have a mail vote of all of the members of
the division to determine the location. The
members will be given until May 10 to
vote, and on that day the ballots will be
counted and the result made known.
1t seems as though Frederick may get
the meet. The wheelmen and cycling or
ganizationS of the place entered the con-
test with vim. Committees have been ap-
pointed, and a program of much merit and
attractions and inducements has been ar
ranged. Prizes that excel any ever offered
at meet in the state are promised with
the assurance that they will materialize.
A formal request for the celebra ton was
forwarded to Chief Consul Sans last week

The authorities in New York city are be-
ginning to talk seriously about what they
are to do with the cyclists. They are fair

chester. on Long Island. and in New Jer-
sey, is causing the wheelmen to howl with
indignation. The best way out of the difi-
Guilty is for the authorities to 20 back to
the aqueduct plan suggested q year ago.
This will make an ideal wheelway for q
stretch of fully fifty miles, and Is Just the
thing that wheelmen want. The wheel
men want to use the top. The water would
rush through underneath just the same.

great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in-
durable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be a constitutional Gis-
