CYcLIsT EDWARDS ENDURANCE.
Has Wheeled FOrty-One CenturIe.
This Year.


Cyclist Edwards is riding his forty-sec-
cnd century today. He started January
to ride on his chainless wheel 100 miles
every rxenty-four hours. He was then at
Yonkers, N. Y. He wheeled not merely
100 miles, but covered nine miles more for
good measure, and this he continued for
thirty-one consecutive days, all the centu-
ries after the first being wheeled over the
roads of Long Island. Then he crossed
over to New Jersey and reeIed OFF three
centuries through the pine woods of Lake
wood. Returning to New York city. half
a thousand miles were recorded on his cy-
clometer in that city. Then he came to
Washington, and In the vicinity of this city
has enjoyed the best roads OF his expe-
rience this year: and yet the riding was
such that no cyclist in this city would treat
his wheel to the rough usage entailed. He
has been out on the Conduit road today.
and will take the same road tomorrow.
He will not attempt to go north until the
reads dry out sufficiently to enable him to
make time.
The feat accomplished by Edwards is un-
rrecedented. The greatest number of CEN
turtles wheeled In a year is eighty-two; yet
Edwards has already made half as many
and In the worst months OF the year, dur
ing binding snow and awful weather The
record was made In the season from March
to December under favorable conditions

Won DER AHE HELD.
Judge Huntington Decides Tint Hi.
Capture Was Iep,nI

dispatch from Pittsburg Pa last night
says: Judge Joseph Burlington, sitting IN
the United States circuit court, late tins
afternoon, rendered his decision in he
Chris Won der Abe case. The-St. Louis base
ball man was remanded TO the custody of
Detective Mick" Beniel who immediateIy
handed the prisoner over to the sheriff of
Allegheny county Won der Abe will spend
the night in charge of two deputies in the
private Office of Sheriff Harvey A. Lowry
He expects to be able to pay the money to-
morrow on the judgment for which he IS
detained. If he does he will be released.
Since Won der Abe was kidnapped the
amount has grown from s2.525 to about
S,J'O. He will have to swallow a bitter pill
in the shape of sasD-Benders bill of costs
for the st. Louis trip This he will have to
pay in addition to the s. ,J25 Judgment OBJ
tanned by Mark Baldwin
Judge Burlington surprised the crowd in
the court room by reading the opinion. In
substance, IL was that "a bailor can take a
bailee at any time or from any place
man released on bail he said only trans
fers the custody of himself from the sheriff
to his bailor. Many opinions to this effect
were quoted Among them is that of Judge
Daniel Agnew, formely chief justice of the
supreme court of Pennsylvania. which was
the strongest in point. At the con-
clusion of the reading of the opinion De-
tective Bendel reached for Won der Abe.
Attorney J. Scott Ferguson, counsel for
Won der Abe, notified Judge Burlington that
he would appeal to the United States Su-
preme Court. Attorney Fording told him
that Congress had passed an act abolishng
appeals to the Supreme Court of the United
States in proceedings of this kind. and that
the only way to reach that tribunal was by
habeas corpus proceeding in the higher
court. Mr.. Ferguson then said he was
ready to quit, and turned Won der Abe over
to the two deputy sheriffs.

Fffty-MiIc Club Race.

While nothing has as yet been definitely
decided upon, it is likely that novelty
will be introduced the early part of the
present bicycle racing season in the shape
of a fifty-mile club race. The project has
just been conceived by well-known bicS-
Gle enthusiast, who believes that its reaIi-
zGtion will not only mark radical de-
parture from the established syst IN of
racing, but will also prove an interesting
and profitable event, the former for the
public and the latter for the management.
Middle-distanca match racing seems TO be
popular all over the country, and de-
parture from this. the middle-distance club
race will practically prove a match event
with more riders on the track than i'm a
strictly pure match contest. To the ordi-
nary club, an all-day run of fifty miles is
not considered anything of special conse-
qGence, and ii is argued that there are
many club members who could ride double
and treble this distance within the same
time, and not feel any undue effect from
the exertion. For this reason the distance
is fixed at fifty miles, because it is believed
IL Will be agreeable to all contestants. The
only change would be the transfer of the
scene of the riding from the road TO the
track, and as the latter has n smooth sur
face, much better time can be mad..
As before stated, nothing definite has
been settled upon. though the protector is
actively at work on the project and has
received considerable encouragement from
the club riders The race will undoubtedly
be held at the International Athle.ic Park
and il all things work out agreeably AZ will
be held some time in June, possibly In con-
junction with the annual race meet on Dec
Grafton day. So far as known, each club
Will be entitled to enter a team of five men
for the race. limited amount OF pa5es
at any one time will be allowed. This is to
keep as few people on the track, outs ids
OF the contestants. as possible, and virtual
ly means that only one pacing machine will
be allowed at a time.
The Century Cycle Club has agreed TO
enter team in the contest aud IL Is un-
derstood that the Arlington Wheelmen are
also willing to be represented. The Levant
Wheelmen have been approached, and the
club is reported 10 be not averse to enter
ing five men. The Washington Road Club
is also expected TO send in a team while
there is a possibility of team bsing sent
representing the Columbia Athletic Club.
With four clubs. twenty men, on the
track, a race OF some importance can be
locked for. though the number is rather
large for ths one event.
The scoring of such race would neces-
ssrily have TO be elaborate. Ii would yir-
tualiy mean that each rider would have to
have a scorer In order to be able TO X en-
account of the proper distance covered
