CYCLING TOURISTS IN CAMP.
Three of Them ON IL Five Years Tour
of the World.

The steamer Tallahassee, which arrived
yesterday had among it's passengers three
cyclists. who are just starting out on
five years tour of the world awheel. The
wheelmen are Alfred H. Posiell, Fred Tur-
ner, Jr.. and Walter B. Young.
They were met at the steamer by WILL
lam Denhardt, secretary of the Georgia
Division of the League of American
Wheelmen, who had been advised of their
coming. Mr.. Denhardt had secured the
lot on the corner of Bolton and Drayton
streets for the use of the travellers, and
there they pitched their tent. 1t is very
small affair, but it is large enough to ac-
commodate the cyclists and is built es-
pecially for the purpose for which ii is
used.
Mr.. Postel, who is apparently the leader
in the enterprise, is from Philadelphia,
and is a member of the Premier Cycle
Club of that city. He is a veteran mem
Der of the League of American Wheelmen,
and carries credentials from the league
officials. He was once member OF the
Palestine Exploration Society, and is a
lecturer of some note.
The luggage carried by the travellers
weighs about 200 pounds, and attachments
are made on the wheels to carry it. They
do their own cooking, carrying cooking
utensils and other accessories for this
purpose.
The itenerary which the advanturers
have laid out Is an extensive one, and
will carry them through every quarter
and in some of the most remote regions
of the world. They will remain here
few DAYS when they will leave for jack
sonville taking the Ogeechee canal bank
as far as it runs and the Florida Central
and Peninsular railway, riding on the side
of the track, the rest of the distance.
From Jacksonville they will go to Tam
na. from whence they will sail for the war
stricken island of Cuba. After wheeling
about the island as far as is.possible they
purpose 10 sail for Mexico, and thence
wheel through Central America, down the
east coast of South America to Cape Horn,
and thence up the west coast between the
Andes and the ocean back TO Central
America, through the Pacific coast states
and British Columbia to Alaska There, il
If is possible, they intend to cross to Sibe-
ria. and the continent to Europe, and later
will take in parts of Africa. They esti-
mate that five years is the least time IN
which they can make the trip.

BULL DOG VERSUS WILD CAT.
The Dog Kills the Feline After Two
of His Species Had Been Routed.


Columbia, S. c., Jan. 7.-Fearing the in
reference of the public only a select few
were secretly invited to the fair grounds
north of the city last evening to witness a
bloody contest-a fight to the death be-
tween bull dogs and a wild cat.
The cat, which weighed over twenty
pounds was captured in steel trap in
Congaree swamp, seven miles below Co
lumbia New Years day. and was put in
a strong box and brought to this. city. AS
the steel jaws had crushed the toes of one
: hind foot, the wild cat, or more properly
speaking the lynx, was not in first-rate
fighting trim, but he yet managed to give
a good account of himself.
Taken i'm his native cane "brake" or
briar thicket, half dozen deer hounds
would have been whipped with ease, but
he was unused to the tactics of the prize
fighting bull dog terrier of twice his
weight, and, liberated in an open field. sur
rounded by men, the cat was at a disad-
vantage.
When the cat came out of his box he did
so to face two bull dogs. They made a
dash at him, but the cat was not to be so
easily crushed Throwing himself on his
back he received his enemie% as infantry

fusing to take any other "hold."
The cat caught one of the dogs legs in,
his powerful jaws and repeatedly buried
his cruel claws in the animals body. but
nothing could break the death grip on the
throat. The lynx was strangled to death,
and the dog hauled off In a carriage.
