Revival of Interest in Cycling.

Returning interest in things cycling is
evidenced by the number of spaces that
have been taken for the cycle show at
Madison Square Garden. Two-thirds of
the area devoted to the exhibition have
been contracted for. and only half hun
jred on the ground floor remain unsold.
For thess more than enough inquiries
have been sent in TO insure the sale of the
balance.
Ii is significant that while there may
be others held in different cities, the
only cycle show of national Importance
will be the exhibition commencing jan
uary y, 1899. and running for one week in
the Madison Square Garden. The princi-
pal manufacturers of wheels have secured
space and so have the makers of acces-
Sores and parts. Horseless carriages will
form a considerable part of the exhibition.
Both electric and petroleum motor power
will be seen in their latest development.
During the week several interesting con-
ventions will be-held in the Concert Hall
of the Garden. The League of American
Wheelmen will have two days session
at this time. and the rest of the week
will be taken up by symposium of the
members in the trade and the road inquiry
department of the United States Govern
ment. Gen. Roy Stone has been invited TO
take charge of the good roads meeting.
Public attention IS directed toward the
movement for betterment of the high
ways and meeting of the interested
ones will prove Of inestimable value in
furthering the cause.
Already the industry is feeling the ef-
fects of the forthcoming snow, and 1899
will be ushered in more prosperously

MANILA AND THE PHILIPPINES.
Description of the Spanish Port and
Colony Where Commodore Dewey is
Operating.

Manila the capital city of the ISL
Islands, is situated on Manila Bay, at
the mouth of the River Pasig The
city forms the segment Of a circle, be-
tween the river and the sea, and its
suburbs extend over numerous islets
formed by the river and it's branches.
The River Pasig is prolonged into the
bay by two piers At the end of one
of them is small fort, and light
house is situated at the end Of the
other pier Vessels OF small tonnage
can go UP as far as the bridge which
crosses the river.
Cavite is a fortified seaport town Of
the Island Of LuZon, on which Manila
is situated. Cavite is on the Bay of
Manila, and about ten miles south
southwest of the City of Manila. The
town of Cavite has a population OF
over 5000, and the population of the
fort is less than 600. There is an ar
senal at Cavite, which is the capital
of the province of the same name. The
residence Of the governor is situated
there, and the place is the chief naval
depot of the Spanish possessions in
that part of the world
The City of Manila has a dilapidated
appearance North of it is the Bin
ondo suburb, which is the residence
of the foreign merchants and the
great centre of trade. 1t is more pop
ulous than the city itself.
Manila presents both Spanish and
Oriental features. There are long
lines of heavily mounted batteries,
dark looking churches. strange look
ing towers and massive houses OF
solid masonry These are mingled
with light little houses, or cottages, in
groves Of tropical trees. raised from
the ground by posts, in order to permit
the free passage of the waters in the
rainy season. The streets are straight,
mostly unpaved, and they are almost
imr assahle during the rainy season.
In the city the houses are two stor-
les high. and each has its central
courtyard There reside the heads OF
the State, the Church. and the army,
and all those who claim to belong to
the aristocracy.

corded for cash wheat since Septem

The rapid advance was due to the re-

remains that France had only enough
wheat in sight to last two weeks The
country's consumption is 5000, 900
bushels per week, and their own crop
will not be available until August 1.
