CYCLING.

/ Intending purchasers of '9S models will
be confronted with some trying PROPOSE
tions next season in the selection of
wheel. The trouble of buyers will begin
| when they will find wheels ranging in
price from $25 to 500, each one Of which
will be represented as 'high grade" ma
chimes. The demand for lower prices is
responsible for the probable reduction in
the price of next seasons models. 1t is
thought that no matter how the prices
shift wheel sufficient for the require
mcnts of an ordinary rider can be bought
for $50.
The gears will be increased very ma
tcrlally next season among the racing
men. The favoritc gear of '97 on the
path was an so gear. Bald, Cooper. ki-
ser and Morlens, also Gardiner, used so
gears in most OF their contests. The sea-
son OF '9S Will see gears as high as 9G on
the race track which will be used by
most of the prominent men. Gougoltz
uses 96 gear in all his races, and it is
principally owing to the fact that all the
foreigners are using such high gears that
have come to this country that the Amcr-
leans will also follow their STYLE
Never ride fast over wet places; your
wheel may slip from under you; causing
a bad fall, especially if you turn and lean
at all, says the Century WhceInan. Go
slowly when the road is rough, particu-
lary on block pavcments. Sharp jolts
will injure the best bicycle made; may
cause an important nut to loosen, break
a taut spoke of high mettle, or put the
wheels out of true; and when going at Il
reduced speed i'll such places it is well to
ease the strain by putting as much
weight as possible on the pedals by rising
from the saddle Always rise from the
saddle in crossing ear tracks for the same
reason.

the social lion at EcIlairc, Fla, and Il

who has such regard for the German

backing him when he meets Champion
Bald. Lehr's trainer arrived at the track
yesterday and expects to have both Lehr
and kaser in shape by the time the
Northern party arrives.
Michaes trainer is quoted as saying
that Taylore is the best man that Michael
ever met, and should he lose the midget
would not hesitate in taking hold of the
little Frenchman, for he has no doubt
but what he will be able to beat Michael
next season. Michael is certain to meet
with a defeat some time, and lie thinks
Taylurr will be the first to accomplish
that performance.

DEWEY'S TASK.
victory.

Dewey was cast adrift in the Pacific
and having not where to go he dropped
anchor in Manila till the war should
be over. The Philippines came handy,
good harbor, close sailing distance Of
Hong Kong, and belonging to a power
at war with his country. But there
comes many complications and there
attaches grave responsibilities with
that capture. When a nation destroys
a local government the conqueror
must give the conquered people a
government, or otherwise anarchy
would reign. If Dewey in this instance
does not take hold as soon as he forces
the Spanish to let go, there will ensue
an awful state Of affairs, for which the
world would hold this government re-
sponsible. There would be no law, no
protection for life or property, and
murder and rapine would run riot. So
Dewey will be compelled to sustain
the present Spanish officials or in some
wise conserve the legal and personal
rights of that people until his home
government can come to his relief.
There are several hundred islands in
the group, and on it's face it looks as
If we had caught a Tartar. Still
Dewey had to leave Hong Kong and
he had to stop at Manila or he had to
give over all pretense of being a factor
in the Pacific, where the interests of
the United States are so very large. 1t
looks like a grave responsibility to hold
on, but'a graver difficulty to let go.
And so with Cuba If the admins
tration were convinced that the de-
struction Of the Spaniards and their
capital was all that would be neces-
sary to save Cuba, the Spaniards would
be driven out and Havana reduced
most speedily But Cuba captured
must be guaranteed a government at
our hands. all Of which viii take time.

short time we viii not only have Ma
