A TREE GROWING UPSIDE DOWN.
1t Bears Fruit With It's Roots In the
Air and Its Limbs I'm the Ground.

AIT anu Hts Lin BIS In the Ground.
From Meehan's Monthly
John Meiner's distfllery, in Milwaukee,
has not been in operation for nine years.
1t is an old landmark and the grounds
about it are covered with grand old trees
and rustic benches and form little by
way nook. whose existence one would not
suspect from the road outside the fence at
the south
But the object of greatest interest in this
unique place is an old apple tree that was
planted twenty-eight years ago. with it's
limbs in the ground and Its roots in the
air. and which lives to bear fruit and sprout
branches where roots should be and roots
where twigs and leaves should be-a Curl
osity to all beholders.
Mr.. Meiner was induced to make the
trial through an old German legend in
which such an inverted tree played a prom
inent part.
When Mr.. Meiner planted his twenty
hve apple trees they showed no signs of
life for long time. Finally the one stilI
remaining showed leaf softened by sum
mer rains and expanded by the sun and
with great deal of care 1t was nursed
to sturdy life 1t grew very slowly and
has not grown more than two feet in height
since II was planted 1t is now about four
feet high. with trunk fifteen inches in
diameter. The roots had a tendency to
droop and 1t was found necessary to prom
them up with trellis. Instead of CROWN Q
vertically they have extended horizontally
In long, slender arms. There are about
twenty OF these, radiating in all directions,
Each year. as they grow longer additional
props We're put underneath and they have
extended along the-trells fiat straight as
q ceiling, with little slender shoots running
at right angles and INTERVENING with one
another SO closely that they afford some
protection from the rain to one who NAV
stand underneath. The ton Is circ,,lar IN
form and about fifty feet In diameter. The
tree has borne fruit for about twenty
years and Is now covered with little green
apples The fruit is of good quality. but
the variety is not known by Mrs Adolph
Meyer. daughter of Mr.. Meiner, who now
occupies the old homestead with her hus-
band and family.

SAW FIRsT-CLAss SPORT.
Interesting Cycling Races at the
Athletic Park.


Athletic Park.
The bicycle races yesterday afternoon at
the International Athletic Park were of
first-class order. A crowd of close on to
1,5OO persons saw. the sport, the grand
stand being almost crowded. The weather
was perfect for the racing. though the
track was in none of the best of condition.
1t was not heavy. but owing to a lack Of
rain, was quite dusty, and afforded poor
riding in the back stretch.
There were several surprises. which were
fully appreciated by the audience. A. c.
Moran, the speedy rider of the Washington
Road Club managed to win the amateur
race of the day, the mile open, while
Schade could do no better than finish
fourth. Fred Sims rode in splendid form
and managed to easily viii the two pro-
iessional events on the program. Balti-
more captured the first and second places
in the final of the two-mile handicap, ANA
tour, while the best Schade could do was
the winning of the two-mile tandem, with
helms, the Petersburg boy. behind him.
The club team race for the championship
of the District was in the nature of a sur
prise. The Washington Road Club or the
Arlington Wheelmen were looked upon as
sure winners of the event, but, strange to
say, both clubs were defeated by the mar
The Eastern Athletic Club team managed
to beat the Arlingtons in one heat while
the Mount Pleasant Athletic Club team adj
ministered the same dose to the Road Club
riders. In this trial, Ronsaville of the win
ming club managed to work q great steal
on the other riders. When on the third
turn of the las. lap he suddenly jumped the
sprint and managed to gain about half a
dozen lengths before the others could get in
shape to follow him. He held his lead un-
til after the tape was crossed. In the final
heat of the race he did the same trick on
the riders of the Eastern Athletic Club and
crossed the tape q second time in the lead,
practically winning the championship of
the District for his club. A protest of the
race was entered by Lieut.. Murphy of the
Arlington Wheelmen against the Eastern
Athletic Club, for having a rider not a
member of the club on the team, Howard
Rhine being the racer In question. As this
club did not win the championship 1t is
hardly likely that the matter will be de-
cided.
There were ten Baltimore riders in the
races, and between them they managed to
secure a first and second in the amatur
field. and a third in the professional ranks
J. Helms, the Petersburg boy who was ex-
pected to do some good riding finished last
in his semi-final heat of the mile open He
managed to come in first with Schade on
the tandem. There were quite number of
spills during the afternoon, caused by the

SENATOR'S GOOD WORK.
Under Brown They Have Won Thfrty-
Nine and Lost Thtrty-Six Games

Owing to the poor start made by the
local club this year and the poor work done
under Mr.. Schmelzs management the real
ly excellent work of the team since it has
been under Capt. Tom Browns control has
not been fully appreciated Since Mr..
Schmelz was retired, June Z, the Washing
tons have won thirty-nine games and lost
thirty-six. giving them the percentage of
80 This would put them in fifth place.
During this time the club has taken a
trip to Baltimore, Philadelphia, BROOKLYN
and Boston and throughout the west.
1h1rty OF the seventy-five games were pIay-
ed out of town. When Mr. Schmelz was
deposed the club was in eleventh place. 1t
Lad won nine and lost twenty-five games
us work was much worse than in the
previous season under Joyce. On June 4
1885, with Joyce as captain, the team had
won twenty games. lost nineteen, and its
percentage was .5l3 1t occupied sixth
place.
Inc Washingtons are in eighth place now.
with percentage of 40 Last year at
this time they were In tenth place with
percentage of All.
Inc fact that the present team has OBJ
tanned percentage of $50 while under
Browns direction, and .513 while under
Joyces control shows that the team is a
strong one and capable Of good work If
well handled.
The infield is playing best of any local in
neld, and III those who have temporarily
1aiien on In batting regain their ability
the team should finish the season higher
