1t is pretty certain that during the
!, day, Terrill and Jones will sign to ride
a match race at Cyclomere next Tues
day or Wednesday evening. This was
rather foreshadOWed in the Advertiser
of yesterday morning Negotiations
: were quietly in progress on Monday.
Terrill went into print yesterday and
draws from Jones this gleeful note:
Il February 2, 1898
Mr.. Editor:-I notice in an evening
paper a challenge to me from Mr.. Harry
Terrill to ride match race sometime
during the first part of February. A
match race with Mr.. Terrill would
give me as much pleasure and salts
faction as months vacation to the
Coast; and | make haste to accept his
def. [ have repeatedly defeated Ter
rill on the Coast and it is hard to make
me believe that his French trip has in
creased his speed to such an extent as
to enable him to turn the tables on
me. Allow me through your columns
; to thank Mr.. Terrill for staying over
and giving me a chance to defeat him
in match race. For this, | am truly
grateful to him.
Respectfully yours,
GILLIAN JONES'
The race will likely be the best two
in three mile heats, paced. 1t will
be contest in which each man will dc
his very utmost to win.
There arrived by the Mariposa last
night, bicycle rider, W. Martin by
name, who since 1890 or earlier, has
been a fast rider on various tracks in
the United States, Europe and the Colo
MES. He is anxious to remain over
here and challenges any Honolulu rid
er, barring Allan Jones, to five mile
race, best two out of three heats, al
$500 a side, this to take place a month
hence. If this cannot be arranged, Mr.
Martin will return on the Mariposa tC
his home in Lowell, Mass.
In 1S94-95, Martin raced in France
Spain, Switzerland and Italy In four
months during 1895, he won II first
prizes in Italy and France. Martin has
been all through the Colonies where
he won some go first prizes.
"Bilmartin," as he is known in the
Colonies, is better known as a long dis.
lance rider than in any other capa
city. In Madison Square Garden he
won a six day go-as-you-please race
and in Omaha, the 100-mile profession
al championship. In New Caledonia
Martin won the 81 mile championship
race for $500 against Harry Brock anc
