RECORDS OF GREAT INTEREST.

RECORDS OF GREAT INTEREST.
Anent the recent discussion of the
criminal neglect of not taking care OF
records, it is interesting to know that
somo years ago. in bundle OF old papers,
tho original paper dismissing members
from the Second church TO join Grace
Street church was found and put aside.
The same person also has the original
church covenant, with the signatures Of
the fourteen members uniting to form
the church. These papers have been
framed, and will be placed in the parlOr
of the church.

Out for Records

New York. jan g. Three cyclists OF
this city, all members of the Century Wheel
men, are planning TO break the century run
record. E. c. Edwards, who already holds
several records, started out on January 1
to ride ] 90 miles. and he has kept up the
exercise each day since. IL is his inten-
tion to ride 100 miles every day this year
or 36o consecutive centuries. III he ac-
complishes the feat he will have ridden
36 500 miles by December 81 next, which
will be a wonderful record. Z. z. Sey-
mour, his eiubmate, hopes TO race fifty
double centuries within the year, confinins
his efforts TO Sundays and holidays. Each
Sunday SO far This year he has started on
his long journey at 2 ann aud finished the
200 Eiilesin time to eat his tiin ner at horne
W. II. Anderson, who aspired for the sixty
consecutive century record, but VITO was
forced to give up, owing TO an accident,
after lie had ridden 4 500 miles is prepar-
ing to make another attempt, and rs soon
as the weather moderates he win begin
his nightly 10O-nlile rides again.

uniform, according to National
League custom, will be worn at home
The white suits will be set off by very
bright red stockings with a dark blue
stripe. The belt will be red and the
cap of the jockey style, and dark blue

FIGHTING IN NEW YORK.
Town Not TO BE So Wide Open as
Expected.


Town Not to BE So Wide Open as
Expected.
The would-be managers of athletic clubs
where boxing will be the superior attrac-
ton in New York are very much cast
down. They had expected that under
the rule OF the alleged liberal Tammany
Hall policy all they would have to do
would be to apply for q permit TO pull
off boxing contests and it would be granted
forthwith. The facts most recently de
vcloped are that the police commissioners
will give permission to no club for the
purpose OF running boxing show unless
the Horton law is complied with in its
entirety. This comprises the bona fide
lease OF hail or building for year
Quoted. IL may he safely said that the
issuing of permits by the police board
will be delayed until the status OF each
club applying for permit is inquired
into and found to be worthy Of recogni-
tion under the law. Hence the desponu
ency. The managers of clubs, it is said
by those who should know, need not look
for permission TO go ahead for @ long
