There has been but slight change
in the ranks of the wheelmen who first
entered into training for the events.
Frank Grace has dropped out for rea
sons best known to himself.
w. Chiffon, a coming rider, has en-
tered the lists. and is now down to
work with the rest.

Yes, that was the report at Dawson

rumor let it drop to 1925, 900.
We'll, that's pretty good sum
''Of course it is, but after he had sail

Still, he could do the handsome

Now doubt about that at all, but
when he landed at Seattle the newspa-
per reports from there gave his fortune
as only S11O, 1000
Even that is a good deal of money.
Very true, but the next time we
heard from him he was in San Francisco
and the best they could make of it there
was little less than $50, 900.
Pretty good pay for a years work,

= Question of Place.

\ little story is told on Bishop Doane
by Bishop Potter. Upon mis- being
created bishop, Doane conceived the
idea of calling himself William Of
Albany" after the English fashion.
Bishop Doane likes the high church
style. He carried his sidea into execution
and signed himself William of Albany
That title fell under the eye Of Bishop
Potter on the register of hotel where
both happened to be stopping. Bishop
Potter remarked:
Dane, what does this William of
Albany meanl'
why that's wnat l am. It's the
English way, and therefore the correct
way of putting it. am of Albany see,
and my name is William, hence Viii
liam of Albany"
Bishop Porter thought moment, and
then laughingly replied;
Say Doane, if you We're of Buffalo, l
suppose you'd call yourself Buffalo
Bill"
