of members in the division. Tho statement that
the receipts from Dec. /, 1897, to June l, 1898.
were $s,032.9 80. and that the disbursements
aggregated $7,799.53 astonished the average
League member. There is q strong feeling among
members OF the State division that matters are
conducted on too extravaganza a system, Early
in the year THE sun called attention to the fact
that tho expenditures OF the division greatly OK
cecded the cost Of running any OF the other lead
ing divisions in. the organization. While Chief
Consul Walter jenkins of New York at present
deploreS the lack offunds to carry on the division
work properly, this same officer receives an In
come of 81. 200 from tho division funds. which
he frankly admitted at the annual meeting held
last December was entirely unnecessary. In
tho face OF the present financial standing of tho
division it Is expected that some movement will
be planned to reduce the expenditures. The
Pennsylvania division, which ranks second in
membership in the League, prosecutes a yigor-
Gus campaign throughout the year in the inter-
ests of It's members. and conducts its official
affairs on a II much less extravaganza scale than 10
followed in this State.
Anew cycling organization has been formed in
England. The dissatisfaction SO long existing
over the unsettled condition Of racing through
out that country and the reluctance OF amateurs
to enter into open competition have brought this
thing about. The Amateur Cycling Associa-
ton. as the new body is called, has elected these
prominent cycling men as %oficers: President,
w. J. Turrell; Honorable Secretary. IL. Graves;
Honorary Timekeeper, II. j. Swindley. The
membership will be restricted TO purely
amateur cyclers. 1t is announced that the
object of the A. c. A. is 10 promote
racing as a recreation. The membership
qualifications read that members be strictly
confined to amateurs ~ defined by the National

teur cycle racing has been on the decline in
England for the last three years, and tho failure
of the Oxford and Cambridge men, who years
