Sir Thomas tombstone Upton, chal-
lenger for the Americas cup in yacht
race to be held in 1899, was a dock
laborer in New York city thirty years
ago. His wealth is now conservative
ly placed at $4,000, 600. Reports as
sert that he has made $50, 0OO, 900 in
thirty years. but he himself lays no
claim to such a fortune.
He is not yachtsman, although a
member of the Royal Ulster Yacht
club. His challenge, which has awak-
ened marine sporting men in all parts
Of the world, is said to be due wholly
to his Interchangeable policy Of keeping
the name of Upton before the world.
Sir Thomas was a passenger three
or four years ago on an East Indian
steamer bound for Ceylon. While in
the Red sea the boat was disabled, and
it became necessary to throw over
board part of her cargo Upton
was an interested spectator Of the
preparations for tightening the ship.
He suddenly bolted the scene and by a

Perhaps one of the best ridden races on the
National circuit this year was the contest on
the 18th between Bald and Cooper for cash
purse of $1,000, at Indianapolis, in the pres
ence of over 10000 people. Each rider backed
himself for $3.50 and the management added
$780, making a purse of $1,000, the winner
to take all. The contest was the best two
out of three heats. The first heat was un-
sprints by less than foot. The second heat
was paced by E. S. Acker and both riders
''jockeyed" until a furlong from home, when
Bald again won by desperate effort.

The st. Paul Cycle cub celebrated Its

distinction Of being the oldest club in the

The cycle path at Como, where 1t crosses
the new interurban tracks, is in very bad re-

path was very badly cut up, and it has not
since been repaired. The city railway COM
pany should be notified.
A new cycle path is being built on Summit
avenue from Dale to Victoria streets.
A Minneapolis man who compares the uua,-
tiles of horse and bicycle, says it costs
him more to go out on his wheel than it does
to ride behind horse. He means in the
expensiveness of the trip, aside from any
comparison between the cost Of keeping horses.

Englishmen for years have been trying to
outbuild Americas yachts and thereby re-
gain the cup which this country has he'd
after repeated races. The Dunraven cha,-
lenge, the last given by England before Lip

charges made by that gentleman that foul
play had been attempted. A subsequent in

groundless and provoked by pque.

fans. Whatever he has undertaken he has
done thoroughly. No wonder, then, that since
his debut to the ranks of the wheeimen he
has been declared the American champion for

title speedily and ever honorably. His de-
meanor on the track has endeared him to his
