A PATHETIC FATE

and avoided a. much az possible close
contact with the other steerage pas
sensers on the large Transatlantic
steamer pIowing its way 10 New York.
He had brought on board with him
n large goat. and. BY way Of erpiAha-
ton. had stated that. owing TO the
poor state OF his health. the doctors
had prescribed fresh goat milk every
day for him. otherwise his life would
be jeopardiEed. and might terminate
al any moment.
During the voyage the goat was his
inseparabls companion. and the mans
affection for his dumb friend seemed
TO know no bounds. The goat fully
appreciated the invalid's devotion. and
they never separated for an instant.
When the long-whiskered quad
ruped fell seasick the man held the
sufferers head over the side Of the
ship. and tended II with a solicltude
that touched the hearts Of his fellow
passengers.
The invalid seldom slept. but when
he did so. through sheer exhaustion.
II was noticed by those about him that
his arms were lovingly entwined about
the goats neck. while its hot breath
and beard played about his cheek car
essingly.
The day on which the steamer
reached port the sick man might have
been seen leaving the Barge Once
with his four legged. faithful friend
by his side. YEARLY vending their
way uptown. Branching OF at the
Bowery. they there entered a large
jewellers store. The man STROBE ran
idly into the back room with the goat
where he was afectionately greeted
by young man. TO whom he bore a
striking resemblance.

the traveller briskly. and impatiently

A little later on a large show card
was seen suspended In the store win

housky has Just arrived from Europe
with a large stock OF hne Imported

TOPICS ON CYCLING.
A Collection OF interesting Pfckups
for tbe Bicycle Riders.

Some talk Of an a~nti-league organiza-
ton for the control of racing continues
to be heard in New York, but it does not
sound coherent or definite.
The chainiess wheel has encouraged
makers in the direction of turning out
sheavier wheels. Low prices have con-
spired to increase this tendency, as light
wheels cannot be made cheaply. Not only
wheels, but saddles and tires are heav-
Ter this year. 1t appears, however, that a
fully equipped chain wheel, Including
gear case and brake, is not as heavy as
the regulation chainless.
Some dealers say the demand for CHAIN
less wheels is good, others report to the
contrary. Nearly all agree that the en-
closed chain model is becoming constantly
more of a factor. While some dealers ask
IS extra for a gear case and claim that
they obtain it easily, Others offer it as
a true part of the wheel n ask nothing
extra. The latter class say that before
long competition will drive all dealers to
ofasr the best American gear free. as a
regular equipment.
Sundries will be cheaper and better than
ever this year. Dealers say that the de-
1nand for cycle accessories of all kinds is
large and that q heavy trade Is expected,

prices Of wheels being lower buyers feel

game. beating out the home team 50 pins.
The Excelsiors were ahead. until the
seventh frame. when the Fairviews got
in their sets of doubles and were enabled
to win. The next game in which new

played good command of the ball and
won by 80 pins. This made honors even,
and in order TO decide the question the
six best bowlers among the two divisions
