COMPETITION IN BICYCLES.
1t VIII Be Lively in the Chainless
Machines.

Competition in the bicycle trade pTorn-
ises to be more lively than ever during
the coming season. Aside from that
which is looked for between the chain
and the chainless machines, rivalry in
the sale OF the different priced chainleSs
models is expected to be interesting as
well as exciting. This is bound to re-
suit when il is considered that there will
be at least two chaiDless wheels on the
market listed at $125 and others OF sir-
liar make and design for SIS. The high
priced machines are those OF the firms
who first solved the chainless question,
while the cheaper ones are the product
of other makers, who have by alleged
better facilities profited by the expert
ences of the first makers
The promised competition between these
makers is not that of high grade versus
the opposite, for the makers OF the cheap
er chainIess have posed as manufacturers
OF popular priced machines that have sat
isfied many persons. They have sold
wheels that have come up 10 all require
ments for a price that all could meet,
and in that respect have succeeded These
makers contend that if they could produce
a. good chain wheel for a lower price
than 500 they can also make cbaih-
less. compare ativeiy speaking, with as big
difference in price.

Views of Manager Barnie of the
Brooklyn Club.
New York, Jan.25.-William Parnie, MAI
a. ger of the Brooklyn Club, comes out openly
with the statement today that the owners
of National League clubs are the only ones
who can stop the disgraceful behavior
which brought the game into disrepute last
year. Mr.. Barnie said today:
There is no doubt thai the magnates will
have to seriously consider this matter be-
fore the coming season opens. They have
taken one step toward stamping out the
use of vulgar language by pla yeIs, bat they
must take ano ther one in the direction OF
compelling every pla yer on the field 70 stop
kicking against the decisions OF the UNI
pire unless such rulings involve a misinter-
probation OF the code
Kicking is a disgusting feature of base
ball, but it IS not any worse than the out
rageous be hayior of spectators, who urged
on by pla yers, threaten umpires, and try to
rattle visiting players. 1t seemed TO be
fever that was contagious in every city
of the Lea que, barring Boston and Chicago
The question OF doing a way with kicking
on the base ball field viii be brought up
at the coming meeting, in the shape of
resolution to be offered by one OF the
men who has declared himself against it.
AL. Reach, of the Philadelphia club, will
probably offer the resolution, which will be
in the shape of amendment to Brush's
proposed blacklist rule.

Indianapolis, Jan. 25.-The first session
of the reconvened monetary convention,
composed of about 800 delegates from
boards of trade and commercial organiZa-
tions Of the principal cities of the country,
was held this afternoon in the Grand Opera
House, Chairman Hanna, of the executive
| committee, calling the body to order at
| 3 O'Clock.
At the convention today, and in the
lobbies preceding the meeting, there were
perfunctory comme ndations of the com
missions report, some conjecture as to the
action that Congress would take, much
| skepticism as to the result, and apparently
| little confidence in the bill as it came
from the committee being enacted into law.
Gov. Mount, in welcoming the delegates.
| said he believed that the gold standard
should oe the standard of the country
because It is the standard of the world.
Gov. shaw, of Iowa, was introduced as
permanent chairman of the meeting, and
was received with hearty applause. IN
his address he said:
The people have right to expect
something, They went to the extreme
limit of their opportunity in demanding
security against financial depression, COM
mercial upheavals and industrial agita-
ton. In view of the oftrepeated declara
tion for national honor and the payment
and discharge OF every obligation, public
and private, In currency equivalent to
gold, it remains for the lawDlaking power
TO spread the verdict of 1896 on record,
to render Judgment in accordance there
with, and to make the decree perpetual"
The evening session OF the convention
was taken up by an address by C. Stuart
Patterson, of Philadelphia, who explained
the work OF the convention, saying that
the first thing determined upon was not
TO be guided by expediency, but to pre-
pare their work regardless of the recep-
ton that it might receive from the coun-
try.
The commission sent out interrogatories
far and wide and received suggestions
from all classes regarding the needs Of
the country in reference to a financial
system, many of which We're exceedingly
helpful to the commission. When the work
was done all but two signed the report.

The weather sage will have to do soine-

between Al veasey, OF Philadelphia, and
Pat Racdy, OF this city, before the Spa
Athletic. Club at their clubhouse near
Bladensburg. H
The match promised to be the prime
pugilistic event Of the season.
The road was heavy and muddy and
hardly more than thirty persons, including
the principals, went to the clubhouse.
Until the hour OF 10 the prospects OF
obtaining d larger crowd were decidedly
saddening, and after 4 brief consultation
Manager Haley decided to postpone the
mill until next Monday night. Notice
was given that all purchasing tickets
would have their money refunded upon

A NEW HALF MILE TRACK.

1t Has Just Been Laid Out at
Benning-
Washington is not to be behind in inn
provements In its race track superin-
tendent Frank Clarke, of the Coney Island
Jockey Club, has finishe laying out por-
ton Of the grounds at Bennings, so as to
make half miIe course with only one turn
Under the existing conditions two year Fold
races at half a mile were started almost on
the turn out of the back stretch. This state
of things will be remedied by the time the
Washington meeting opens in April next.
1t has been decided to cut across the
track at the head of the stretch into the
outer field, making a two-yea r-old course
of half mie with only one bend or elbow.
It will be course somewhat similar in
shape to the Futurity at sheepshead Fay,
with the exception that the new piece Of
track will be more on an angle than the
piece which was attached to the head Of
the stretch 1T Sheepshead Fay.
This addition to the Bennings track will
be quite an improvement, as the spring
meeting is made up of very many two year
old races over half-miIe course, and under
the old conditions it was case of first
off first home in many instances, owing to
good horses Deing thrown out on the turns,
while an inferior horse, with little luck,
would gain iu adva ntage by getting around
on the inside which could not be overcome.
Horsemen Will surely appreciate the change.

sPURRED ON BY ELECTRICITY.
Battery Found Under Saddle at
SipgerIy.


New York, Jan. 25. The ruling off OF
Jockey Helnrichs at singerly yesterday
for carrying an electric battery while rid
ing the horse Leigh, only shows the cunning
of some horses as they age, and that no
kind of flogging or spurrfng VIII induce
them to ,lo their best. With the use of
the electric battery a, horse is startled TO
q degree of frenzy and runs like scared
Jack rabbit. OF course, 1t would never
do TO permit the use of electricity on
horses, but it is certainly a cure for lazi-
ness.
The device used by Heinrichs yesterday
was very compact affair, being fastened
underneath his arm, with wires running
down his body, and through the heels of
his boots to his spurs. 1t was when he
touched the horse with his spurs that the
connection was made, and by the looks OF
the dope be must have touched him Just
about opposite the half-mile pole, for that
is where Leigh went to the front as though
a cyclone h"d came along and given him
n hind-uuarter butt. Heinrichs claims
that batteries are used in nearly every race
at Singerly and according to general con-
versatIon, he is pretty nearly correct in
his remarks.

New York, Jan 25. = The National
Association of Manufacturers began it's
third annual convention at Masonic
Temple today, with about 500 delegates
IN attendance.
After President Theodore c. Search,
of Philadelphia, called the convention
to order, he introduced the president
of the council, Randolph Guggenheim-
er, who, in behalf of the mayor, vel
coined the delegates to New York.
After President Search had announc-

the ladies accompanying them, had
luncheon on board the American liner
st. Louis. The guests were welcomed
by the president of the American line,
Clement A. Griscom.
At the afternoon session President
Search made his annual report. In part
he said: s1stssf
During the twelve months which
have elapsed since the members of the
National Association of Manufactur-
erS last met in annual convention, our
industries have progressed from long
continued duilness and stagnation into
pronounced activity. The regularly re-
curing revision of the tariff with all of
its attendant disturbances of business
is we'll out of the way, abundant har-
vests with scanty cereal crops in sew
eral foreign countries have given pros
perity to our agriculture and largely
increased the purchasing power of
millions of our people, while to these
two important factors has been added
| a larger foreign market for the prod
| ucts of our industries than they have
| ever enjoyed before.
'On the 30th of last June there was
| completed q year that is without an
equal in the annals or our foreign
trade, for during that period the total
exports of products OF the United
States reached far more than $4,000
600, the largest. aggregate of exports
! ever reached in any previous year.
The shipping question is today in
| separately bound up with the problem
| of the extension of American trade.
| British ships carry nearly 81 worth
| of our imports to every 81 worth
brought in our ships. British ships
convey about 81 worth or our exports
to every 81 worth taken in our own
ships. We are reaching out for foreign
trade, and we find our efforts obstruct-
ed by shipping interests that are inim-
ical to our own

He Will Bring Hin BACK TO lis
Proper Attitude.
Sporting men are beginning to class Kid
Mccoy in that evasive coterie of pugiIists
of which Bob Fitzsimnons and Jim Cor
bett are shining examples. This is be-
cause the Kid pays no attention to the
challenges of Peter Maber and Joe Choyn-
ski, both OF whom want to go up against
hiIn to the tune of $4,000. Instead Of
noticing these challenges, Mccoy is chas-
ing around after FitzsiInmons and Corbett
and wasting vast amount Of wind and
ink. Mccoy, it is admitted, would ac-
complish a herculanean job if he could
get either Of the men into a ring. but
it is the general belief that locomotive
could not do this.
