field day in the history OF the Pacific Ath-

Is a proposition on foot 10 put aside part
OF the receipts for the purpose of sending
on an Eastern tour the intercollegiate team

1t - probable that the event will take
place az the Felodromo as the managers
OF that place have agreed 20 make such
changes as are necessary. II Is claimed
that six-lsp track and fine cinder path
can be put IN. A straight-away OF 100
yards can be obtained. but that ~ the long

hurdle race will be omitted from the pro-

SAN FRANCISCO. March 2o.-The dis
satisfaction which the wheelrnen OF the
racine coast have so often OF late ex-
pressed regarding the actions OF the na-
tsonai governing body Of the sport took
oehniie form last night. The California
associated cycling clubs practically as
sumed control % the racing interests AT
a meeting Of the board OF governors. which
was largely attended by the most prorni-
nenf officials OF the local clubs. the situa-
ton which those present had 10 face was
thoroughly discussed II was conceded
that the racing interests would shortly
break away from the present governing
body. and unless controlled by those inter-
ested in keeping the sport on Ils present
hign plane. would rapidly decline In public
favor.
A committee Of FIVE was appointed to
change the constitution and present IL for
consideration at the next meeting. April g.
and meanwhile the association practically
assumes control OF all track racing In Cal

Neylan's Tobacco Crop.

The Neylans who have made such
successes at raising celery near Tam
pa have eight acres of tobacco this
year which was planted after their
celery was taken off and it is reported
to be very fine. Experts who have
visited the crop, which is now being
cut, say that it will yield thousand
pounds per acre.
A half acre of ground is now being
covered with prepared sheeting, and
beneath this a patch of tobacco will
be planted. This will be an expert
ment to protect the plants from the
beating rains and from the insects
which deposit their eggs from
whence the damaging worms proceed.
This experiment will be watched with
considerable interest Couricc-Infcr.

had been thus carried in doors, and
tobacco smoke has been suggested as
a means of compelling them to let go
their hold. Burning sulphur has also
been suggested. Probably the most
effective method would be fumigation
with bisulphide of carbon, after shut
ting closely the barn containing the
tobacco. Whether these materials
would affect the flavor of the tobacco
or not is question to be settled by
experiment. Our first complaint of
trouble of this nature was received
last summer, though the injury has
been known to us for some time. [
am informed that smoke made from
smouldering wood is sometimes used,
but that it is not very effective, and
leaves a peculiar flavor with the to-
bacco that is likely to affect it's sale.

Tobacco Culture Now.

A few years ago the region of South
Florida was one vast orange grove.
The cold weather came and swept
away the beautiful and profitable
trees. Now that section is a tobacco
farm, and it promises to pe more re-
munerative than orange growing. 1t
is not packing houses that we once
heard about being constructed, but
tobacco houses to prepare the leaf for
market. 1t is said that where there is
a will there is way, and this seems
to be true of Florida. If they can't
have one crop they can another. The
soil yields bountifully, and the year
1897 is going to prove successful
one to tobacco growers. Much of the
tobacco it is asserted, will prove equal
