There has been great deal more talk
about chainless wheels than the output
for 1897 would warrant. The chances are
that chainless wheels will be few and far
between, and that the scheme viii. be
more experimental than anything else.
| OF course chainless wheels mean death to
the gear case, but ad interim let US have
a gear case until the chainless idea is per-
! fected. Sufficient unto the day, etc.
| All the arrangements have been COM
pleted for the annual cycle show, to be
held at the Grand Central Palace, New
York, from February 10 13. The Chicago
show opens tonight and lasts a week. The

eclipse any previous shows ever held At

Will be the exhibition for the first time of
all the prizes won by Arthur A. thinner
man, the champion of the world.
| The visitor to these great cycle shows
will notice in the 1897 models and acces-
sories that the manufacturers have this
year given much consideration and
thought to the perfection of details. They
! have overcome many little rough points
heretofore overlooked by the trade. The
American wheel of to-day is far ahead of
its English competitor in perfection and
finish. Possibly this is the reason the
American maker has been able to produce
a lighter and at the same time equally as
| serviceable bicycle as the foreign maker.

THE CONVICT GOODS BILL.
A Pithy Dispatch Sent by Julian Sonn
tag to Speaker Reed.

A Pithy Dispatch Sent by Julian Sonn-
tag to Speaker Reed.
The apparent hostility of Speaker Reed
TO the anti-convict-goods bill, known as
the Southw1ck ILL, has aroused all the
fight latent among the members OF the
Manufacturers and Producers Associa-
ton. recent letter from Congressman
Southwick of New York to Julian Sonn-
tag, president of the association, stated
that Speaker Reed had refused to
give the Labor Com mittee of the House a
chance to report, and that the bill would
probably die on its hands in conference.
The association, at its meeting on Thurs
day, instructed MIR. Sonntag to commune
cate with the Speaker; and yesterday the
following pithy dispatch was sent East:
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. %, 1897.
Hon. Thomas B. Reed House Representatives,
Wushinqton d. c.: The Manufacturers and
Producers Association of California PETITE ons
YOU to give the Committee on Labor an oppor-
tunity to report House bill No. GIG in refer
ence to convict labor coming in compe tition
with free labor.
As the expression of the country last No
vember was for protection, we sincerely hope
that it will be extended to free labor as against
convict labor. California has suffered more
tn an any other State from this unjust compe-
tition, ana we do not hesitate In saying tnaI
this telegram meets with the Endorsement OF
every man, woman and child OF our common
wealth who is not directly interested in the
manufacture and sale of convict goods.
JULIAN SoNNTAG, President
L. r. MEAD, Secretary.
Another dispatch was sent to Mr.. South
wick telling him of what had been done.
Not to leave stone unturned the assoc1a-
tion's officers sent letters, of which the
following is a copy, to Senators Perkins
and White and TO Congressman Bowers.
Loud, McLachlan, Johnson, Hilborn, Ma
guire and Barham:
Dear Sir: Inclosed please find copy of tel
egram forwarded to Hon. Thomas B. Reed,
which speaks for itself. California needs pro.
lection from Eastern penitentiaries. We are
in receipt of a letter from Hon. George n.
Southwick stating that the Committee on La
Dor cannot get recognition from The Speaker,
and we most earnestly ask your help in this
matter, which so vitally interests us.

popular Otto Ziegler Jr, CALIFORNIA; speed
lest rider, for two exhibitions, and the
entry of Hardy Downing, the San Jose
flyer, in the open events.
Zegler will prove a great drawing card,
not only because of his deserved popu-
larity, but because of his known speed,
and the fact that he is seldom seen on
California tracks, having cast his fortunes
with the National circuit chasers against
Americas speediest cracks for the past
three years. Every one remem bers how
he won three National championsh and
every thing else worth having at the big
Denver meet in 1894. In 1885, although
several times suffering bad falls which
kept him from riding, and finally break
ing his arm, he finished sixth on the per-
centage table, He is the same Otto
Ziegler now, however, in perfect physical
trim, and the performance he will give at
the Velodrome this afternoon will be
worth going miles to see.
Fred Loughead, the Canadian, arrived
here with Dave Shafer, the celebrated
trainer, last Saturday night. Shafer was
already well known here and Loughead
soon made scores of new friends by his
quiet, unostentatious demeanor, and COM
manded respect among the racing men bv
his record of fifth position on the percent
age table of the National circuit, one point
ahead OF Ziegler.
The league people wanted ZiegIer to
ride at the meet last Saturday, but he
pleaded lack OF condition. With the
weeks postponement, however this rea-
son for not appearing vanished. When
Terrill, Wells and the other "pros" went
to San Jose early this week they soon had
Otto thoroughly enthnsed with the idea,
and when | wired him yesterday asking
him if he would ride to-day and help the
meet along by appearing his reply was
prompt and to the point: will ride ex-
hibitlOn with pleasure to help success of
meet. Otto Ziegler Jr." This was prefaced
by a message from Trainer Shafer, to
whom | had written, urging him to use
his influence with Ziegier to have him
ride and asking If Loughead was not in
sufficiently fas: condition to appear: my
services at your disposal; Loughead and
Ziegler will ride. D. G. Shafer"
Chief Consul Kerrigan, when seen last
night on his return from the San Jose
meet, said: 81 am deeply gratifed at the
turn of affairs, and think we have the
greatest attractions for to-morrow's meet
ever presented to California audience.
We owe thanks to Dave Shafer, Charlie
Wells Bob Terrill, Ziegler and Loughead
and a whole lot of others, including your
self, for hearty cooperation In making
this meet the big success it will be.

contests ever seen on track here to-

was off to attend TO some little details.

viii Ride To-Day.
The meet to be held at the Velodrome
this afternoon, for the benefit of the
League of American Wheelmen, will be
the best ever given in the State. This
seems broad assertion, but, p is justified
by the splendid programme arranged and
the high class of the performers. The
fastest amateur talent on the coast and a
score of the speediest professional riders
in the United States will compete, and
with the excellent opportunities for train
ing and conditioning themselves the con-
test ought to be very exciting.
There will be fun enough in the four
open events to suit the most exacting,
coupled with the Velodrome shield race,
and this was the programme prepared for
last Saturday, when the meet had to be
postponed owing to rain. The adaee
about an i'll wind, and so forth, held good
in this case, Tor not only did the audi-
tional weeks time give the men a chance
10 get into better form, but the L. A. W.
