Copyright, 1889

The curriers' are beginning to wake
up. Not that the players of this an
cient Scotch winter sport preserve a
dormant condition during the rest OF
the year, because being most of them
Scotsmen they are very wide
awake men as a rule at all times and
seasons. But your true curler, though
he may attend to business affairs Of
the world, really only lives for the
time which he can spend on the ice
with his "brithers" armed with the
"besom and stane" Then he is really
awake, and life to him is worth the
living.
There is probably no game which
promotes oomradeship and good feel
ing so thoroughly among its devotees
as does curling. There is something
about the game that brings out the
good nature in every man present.
The very motto of the curriers', We're
Brithers A." is significant of this fact.
The greatest centre of curling in this
country is in the northwest States,
where the Northwestern Curling Asso-
citation controls the sport. In the east
the Grand National Curling Club Of
America, which includes most of the
Kinks situated in and around New
York, is the most prominent center of
the sport.

THE PERFECT RACING BICYCLE

The tendency toward the long dis
lance bicycle racing among the devo-
tees Of the sport is working some great
changes in the ideas of the racing men
with regard to what constitutes a per-
feet racing machine. Three or four
years ago the machine which was in
greatest demand among racing men
was the one which had the greatest
rake" One we'll known make in par
ticular was ridden by more riders and
was considered faster because the de-
signer of the machine was an advocate
of plenty of rake for the entire ma
chine. as we'll as considerable curve in
the front fork.
At that time the popular gear was
from 72 to so, with a tendency toward
the smaller. The popular idea as to
the correct position on the wheel was
that the rider should be considerably
back of his work, many of the best
known men going to the extreme in
this respect.
A machine which has lately been
constructed for McDuffie, the well
known distance champion, is consid-
cred an ideal machine by many riders,
and it will probably be in great de-
mand the coming season. 1t has %
inch frame. short head, 26 inch wheel
in front, 81 inch drop to the hanger,
100 gear, and 6 inch forward extern
sion to the handle bar The wheel
base is only 1914 inches, where few
years ago Al inches was considered
about right for the average machine.

the stone in a spot that is guarded
from attack by the next player or to
displace one belonging TO an opponent
that occupies a winning position.
There are two tees, one at each end
of the rink, and the players hurl first
from one end and then the other. A
hole, or hack" is cut in the ice four
yards back of each tee, into which the
player puts his foot and braces him.
self for the effort. The stone is put
down the ice much as player bowling
at ten pins, though all resemblance to
that game here ceases, however, being
more like billiards. The player is
obliged to inwick or outwick-that is,
carom-on other stones and give his
own stone a curling motion. from
which the game takes its name, just
as in billiards the player puts Eng

side" into his stroke.
A peculiar feature of curling and one
which always lends much amusement
to spectators is the effect of sweeping
the ice in front of a slowly moving
stone. When one is scarcely moving,
two or three players at the call of the
start frantically sweeping the ice in
front of it and coax it sometimes a
dozen feet into maybe good position.
Curriers' are dependent on the weather
for good sport, although there are
splendid covered Kinks in many places
with artificial ice, but they are never
so good as outdoors.
In future bonspiels of the n. A. G. it
is probable that the number of ends
will be reduced to II, where last sea-
son they were 16, so that the tourna-
ment may be finished within a week.
At the last three bonspiels the contests
exceeded that period, and in some in
stances players We're obliged to return
home before the finish and thus forego
their chances in the finals. The forth
coming bonspiel of the Northwestern
curriers' will be held at Baraboo, Wis,

the officials of the parent association
and of the local rink to insure a sue

THE EN- VOYS
OF the PHILIPPINES Say Spain Gave
Away What She Did Not Possess
and That the Agreement With the
United States is Void.

New York, December 24.-The Fill
pino ENJOYS, f. Agoncillo and S. LC1eZ,
following close on the heels of the
peace commissioners, returned TO this
city to-day o. the Etruria.
ASoncllo, when he got to quaran-
tine, made inquiries about Judge Day
ard the other members of the American
commission. He was told that they
had arrived safely on the st. Louis and
that the treaty OF peace between the
United States and Spain was doubtless
then in the hands of President Nc
Kinley.
Il have seen a Spanish copy of it, F"
said Agoncillo, and know all that con-
Germs my country. The Spaniards gave
away or sold what they did not possess.
The agreement, as far as it concerns
the archipelago, is practically void.
Are you still opposed to the an
nexation of the Philippines to the
United States?" he was asked.
Certainly | am: and why should
not /? Has not Admiral Dewey, in his
official communication to the United
States government, said that the peo-
pie of the Philippines are filter for self
government than the Cubans, and that
he knew both races well? Dewey S
word ought TO have some weight, and
| is it right to keep by countrymen back
while you promise freedom to the peo-
| pie of Cuba?"
WAS your mission to Paris as fruit
| full as you expected?"
| II believe that it was fairly 50. Our
protest is part of the record OF the
commission. 1t contains the informa-
| ton that Captain Wood, the com
mander of the Petrol, and that Consuls

The Wheeling Jockey Club has pre-
pared very attractive programme for
Christmas at the Fair Grounds, and it
will no doubt draw the banner attend
ance of the running meeting. The
White Front handicap will be the
stellar feature. The purse will be
large. and there will be twelve start
ers. 1t promises to be the best race
of the meeting. Another race on the
card has an almost equal number OF
starters. 1t looks like all the horses
have chance, and Klondyke and
Gov. Griggs will probably be the
favorites.
The racing yesterday was very good.
The horses all took the long course,
profiting by Champs demonstration
of the fact that the outside fence
route is faster than the short course in
the mud. This is in a measure re-
sponsible for the slow time. The first
choices took every race but the last,
in which James Monroe furnished the
surprise of the afternoon.
Arian was the favorite, the book
makers marking up to 5 against him,
while James Monroe went begging al
most at 6 to l. There was a tedious
delay at the post, with Grover Vendig
the principal offender. When the flag

Associatj Jon, and Il Is attended
-of the prominent curriers' In thu
try and Canada. The enthusiasm
efferv escing good spirits which Gu
acterizc~these spells are the wonder G.
every one not acquainted with the
methods and actions of the curriers'.
Last season the tournament was held
at st. Paul and was largely attended,
Representatives of some so Kinks being
present. Play began on Monday, Jan.
II, and the last stone was pit doom
on the Monday following. There were
25 shets of ice@Savailable, five in the
covered rink and 20 on the frozen river,
so that nearly every club could play at
the same time.
Nine events were played off, and the
prizes offered were quite valuable. In
terest was keenest. however. in the
competition for the Walker interna-
tional trophy, which is accompanied by
four gold medals, one for each member
of the winning rink.
This trophy is played for annually by
all of the Canadian Kinks entered in the
bonspiel and an equal number of Amer
lean Kinks selected by an executive Of
the Northwestern Curling association.
Last season there were IL Kinks on each
side The Canadians were defeated, the
aggregate score being 1856 to III. The
winners then played down to one rink
which holds the trophy till the bonspiel
this season, although it becomes the
absolute property of a club winning it
three times. Canada won it in 1894 and
1896, America in 1895 and 1898, but no
club has yet succeeded in capturing it
a second time. Duluth wen the cup
last season.
The stones used in the Northwestern
bonspiel, as in almost all the Canadian
and American clubs. are of imported
Scotch granite Most Of them weigh
from 40 to go pounds, and on the days
when the ice is keen and smooth they
speed over the frozen surface like shots
from a cannon. 1t requires a strong
arm to put sufficient speed into a so
pound curling stone to carry it to the
tee AZ yards distant, and a practiced
hand to gauge the speed so as to place
