CLEVELAND. o., Dec. S.-Under an or
der from the State Board of Equalization
the basis on which the banks of this city
are taxed has been heavily increased. The
taxable valuation of the twelve national
banks has been increased 81. Isl. 900. and that
of the twenty-siX state banks $272, 000 This
action is taken because the present valua-
ton of the banks on the tax duplicates is
much lower than that shown by the reports
made by the national banks to the con-
troller of the treasury. The banks claim
that they are legally entitled to the offsets
which have been allowed heretofore and
they will fight the matter in the courts.

CYCLING.

Cyclists consider it almost foolhardy
to ride Il wheel to any extent in the
busy down town streets of New York, but
riding there is Il paradise compared to
what it is in the centres OF Boston. The
narrow, ill-paved streets allow little
room for traffic beyond what is taken up
by trolly cars, but yet a considerable
number Of whcclmcn may be seen thread
ing their way in and around 1t certainly
cannot be that they enjoy the process,
for they look half frightened to death, or
that they seek to save time, for better
progress can be made afoot on the side
walks, narrow and congested as they are.

the first tiEe tomorrow night at the first
indoor meet of the season, is one of the
largest ever constructed indoors, being
only ten laps to the mile, and there is no
doubt that all previous indoor records
will be smashed on it.
Both Germany and France are much
exercised over the popularity which the
American-made bicycle has gained in
those countries. The domestic manufac-
turers of "wheels' are protesting strenu-
ollsIy, and are demanding an increase of
duties for the foreign article, especially
that which crosses over the Atlantic.

San Francisco, Nov. 17.-Bob Isom,
the well-known lightweight colored
Jockey, is dead in this city. The colored
boy came here with Colonel J. P. Chinn
and was very successful from his advent
on the Pacific coast. In his best days
Isom was one of the most vigorous light
weight riders in the country. The best
horse Isom repeatedly rode was Lissak,
the crack Kentucky colt, with whom
Colonel Chinn swept the board a few
years ago.
The stables at the Ivy City track, near
Washington, caught fire late last night.
There were a number of horses quar-
tered there, among them being Old Sau-
gus, and the rest Of the string of J. o.

w. J. Thompson, the president of the
Gloucester y. j., race track, was at the
horse show last night. Mr. Thompson
was garbcd as usual very dcmocratically
with a fall ovcrcoat, an ordinary business
suit and pair Of tan shoes. He looked
over the wealth displayed in dress in the
boxes, and the swclls looked back at
him. They little knew that they were
gazing upon 4 man who owns almost the
entire city of Gloucester, about four
miles OF frontage on the Delaware river,
some lead mines, thousands of acres OF
farming land in the West, Il line Of ferry
boats, some sailing vessels and a bank.
A surgical operation will be performed
ON Jockey Joe Hill, who was hurt re-
Gently ut the Latonia meeting, in the
hope of saving his life. A consultation
has been held by the attending physi-
clans, Drs. Langdon Bird and karns,
with the result that the operation was
decided upon. Hill has physically re-
covered from his fearful fall and is able to
eat and talk, but his right side is partial
ly paralyzcd and his talk is rambling.
The physicians attribute the trouble to
the pressure Of II broken bone on his
brain, and the operation of trephinins
will be resorted to to relieve this pres
sure. 1t is not believed that serious
results will follow, but that the popular
Jockey will soon be restored to his right
mind and health.
One of the latest arrivals from the
West is the Hon. Mike Kelly. Oh, well,
d. r., I guess that will hold you fol
awhile.

Keep an eye on him.
William Carmody, the manager OF the
Race Track Baseball team said if he
could only keep his players out OF the
Ambrosia joint they might have won the
game from the Newark Boys.
Jockey Neary is glad the track is 60
ing to open as he is tired OF husklng
corn. Never mind jim, you have some
thing to fall back on should the TRACK
close next year.

BILLIARDS

Frank Ives expresses the opinion that
the man who wins the billiard tourna-
mcnt at Madison Square Concert Garden
on November 29th will be compelled to
II axe an average Of twenty-five or better.
He admits that the game is the most dif-
fcult he has ever played, and says the
muscular cxertion required in the hard,
opcn-table play destroys the deIcacy Of
stroke required in nursing.

on the other side, and there is talk of

Representatives Of Sharkey and God
dard have selected Bob Macarthur, a we'll
known devotee of boxing, and promi-
nent member of the Olympic Club, to
referee their contest on next Thursday

New York, have been matched to try
conclusions in a 2O-round contest at the

ganized Franklin Athletic Club, Of New
