the Turnagain arm of Cooks inlet. Here
we embarked in a fishing sloop for Knik
station, a solitary trading post 125 miles
southeast from Tyonic and lying near the
base of the mountains in which, we were
informed, the sheep were to be found.
Remaining for two days at Knik, we pro-
cured the services of an Indian guide, and
taking such provisions as were requirde for
the expedition, embarked in his canoe for
our destination, the plain lying at the base
of the Knik mountains.
Fifteen miles from the station we put in
shore that we might pitch our tent for the
night, and on the following morning begin
the tramp across the plain 20 the mountains
beyond. Through my glass the elevation
appeared plainly before me, a range of SOM
Der mountains, covered with patches OF
snow and ice. scanned with assures, rock
ridges and belts of timber.
1t was 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when.
having tramped for hours through the tall
grass OF the level plain, over aggressive
rocks and treacherous depresslons, we
reached the timber line which ran parallel
with the base of the mountain as far as the
eye could reach. We were completely used
up by the exertions of the day and at
Dyche's suggestion that we go into camp I

sigh of relief. Not so our indian guide,
He pointed out to us that yet another two
hour tramp was necessary to bring us TO a
point whence the feeding ground of the
sheep might be easily reached in the morn
ing, 1t being our purpose to gain a position
as far up the mountain as possible, so that,
at daybreak, we could begin the hunt with
out miles of walking and climbing be-
fore us.
Making our way through the belt OF
timber, we continued climbing upward, the
slope becoming more and more precipitous
until 1t lay at an angle OF As degrees. The
Indians two hours stretched themselves
into double that number and IL was close
upon darkness when we reached a small
plateau, less than fifteen feet square, but
which afforded sufficient room for a sleep
ing place.
Firgt View of the Quarry.
AS we rounded the rocks which fanked
the edge Of this shelf a clatter far up the
mountain drew our attention. Looking in
the direction from which the noise came |
saw a score OF white animals running along
the rocky ridges 1000 feet above our heads;
they were the famous sheep of the Knik
mountains, who gazed for a moment upon
us in alarm, then, taking to their legs,
vanished among the distant bouIders.
Exhausted by the days tramp, / slept
soundly until morning to awake stiG with
the cold, for the wind pierced my blanket
like a knife, and the FIRST light revealed the
mountain side, 800 feet above, covered by a
thin layer Of snow which had fallen during
the night. Accusing my companions, | set
about making preparations for ascending to
the spot where We had seen the sheep ON
the previous evening. Dlspatching a hasty
breakfast We started on a tlresome climb
OF 1900 feet, which brought us within sight

WRlSPERINGS OF THE WHEEL

Tomorrow will be W~heelmen's day at the
Transmississipui and international Exposi-
tion and all arrangements for their recep-
tion and entertainment have been completed
and It now remains in the hands OF the
weather gods to make the day a big success
or an utter failure. With anything like
pleasant weather 1t cannot help but be the
successful day that the bicyclists have
planned to make it. The morning hours
will be spent in receiving the out-of-town
visitors by committees from. the different
local clubs, while the afternoon will be
taken up in looking through the different
buildings. At Z p. M. the wheelmen will
assemble in front of the band stand on the
Grand Plaza for the monster parade in
which there will be 500 wheelmen. in line.
Comptroller John Westberg will be marshal
OF the evening, and will have complete
charge of the parade. He will have as his
aides the following well known wheelmen:
j. II. Butler, j. L. Livesey, ]. II. Minds,
f. w. Fitch and II. K. smith, the latter
from Council Bluffs. The parade will move
promptly at Z p. m. and the route to be
followed will be south around the Horticul-
ture building, thence north on East Mid
way to viaduct, west on North Midway to
Twentieth, south through Administration
Arch, turning west around the Grand Court,
back to the Administration Arch, counter
marching to the Grand Plaza, where the
parade will be disbanded. Wheels will then
be checked and the Midway will be taken
in by the wheelmen in a body. The follow
ing places on the Midway will check wheels
free of charge: German Village, Pabst on
Midway, Schlitz Pavilion, Chinese Village
and the Bohemian Inn. The en-
trance for bicycles will be on Sixteenth
street south OF the viaduct, where
the wagon gate is located, and wheelmen
who come with two or more bicycles coupled
together and decorated in the way of a
hoat will be admitted free, while those with
single wheels, decorated, will be charged the
regular price of admission. The credential
badges will be given out at this gate, and
without these badges wheelmen will be I'M
able TO obtain any of the concessions which
Will be made by almost all of the Midway
attractions. Wheels will be admitted only
at the one gate, and wheelmen who try to
take their machines in at other gates will
be refused admittance for them. Many of
the out-of-town cyclists will arrive this
evening, but the majority will come in on
the early trains tomorrow morning. Many
of them will not only be here Wheelmen's
day, but will remain during the entire
week.

The national meet OF the League Of
American Wheelmen for 1898 is now a thing
Of the past, and while there are chances that
there may be some changes in the percent
age table OF the leading professionals, yet
during the season II is pretty certain that
Eddie Bald, the champion OF four consecu-
tive seasons, will add '95 to his list, and
thus make it five. TIT writer spent three
days OF last week at the big meet, which
was held at Indianapolis, and is now more
convinced than ever that Bald is the great
est bicycle racer this country has ever
Known, On Tuesday, the first day, he did
not show up so we'll, and when questioned
in the training quarters, after the races, by
the writer, said that he did not have any
excuse TO offer for not getting to the front
in the championships, other than that he
lacked ambition, and did not feel at all like
riding, but on the second day he simply
made monkeys OF the other fast ones, his
win OF the half-llile championship being
accomplished with apparently the greatest
| ease, and his ride from scratch in the first
trial heat OF the great American handicap
In which he finished first in worlds record
time was remarkable. He mowed down his
field like they were standing still, and at
the finish simply ran away from his com
p%etitors. He was unable TO get TO the front
in the hnal, however, as Costello, the st.
Louis mans handicap Of 25O yards, was too
| great TO overcome, but Bald made a game
ride and finished well up in front. In this
race Gadke and Meierstein, the two Omaha
boys, were both entered, the lat
ter on the l75-yard mark and
the former at 1875 yards. They
| were unable to qualify, but both made game
rides, and a splendid effort. They did not
succeed in getting into the money at the
meet at all, but the riding OF both made a
good impression among the other racing
men present. owen Kimball's win Of the
two-m mile championship the first day was a
| big surprise, Tor which the other last men

Everything points to a very suspicious
opening of the Nebraska state bicycle racing
circuit, (Which will occur at York on Thurs
day of ithis week, and continues until the
end of the present month. Vice Consul
Benson has been most persistent in his
efforts to get up a good circuit, and in the
face of considerable opposition on the part
Of a few wheelmen and the non-support of
others, has succeeded admirably. The cir
cult will be composed of eight towns, as
follows: York, August 1S; Seward, 10;
Kearney, %; Grand Island, %; Minden, "a;
Lincoln, 26; Beatrice, 90, and Fairbury, 30.
There will be two open professional events
at each meet, and one handicap, besides
several good amateur races. For the pro-
fessionals there will be from $50 to S110 to
compete for at each meet, while the amateur
prizes will, of course, be smaller. The state
championship for 1898 will be divided up
among the following towns: Kearney, the
One-half and one mile; Grand Island, the
one fourth and two mile, and Minden the
five mile. Heretofore there has never been
a five-mile championship held in the state,
but Consul Benson has decided to add one
this year. The following we'll known racing
men have already signifed their intention
Of following the circuit, and there will doubt
less be many more Join 1t later, besides,
there will be any number Of lesser lights.
Ed McKeon, Greenyille. o.; Birney Bird,
st. Paul; White, Rebenscheid and Laituer,
Kansas City; II. c. White, Cedar Rapids;
Jerry Woodward. Detroit; Iver Lawson, Chi
cago; w. B. Vaughn, Santiago, Cal; Frank
Wing, Ottawa, ILL.,; H. c.. Gadke, George
Meierstein and Fred Barnum of Omaha.
This list Includes nearly all OF the repre-
sentative racing men of the midwest, and
the contests between them will undoubtedly
be fraught with much interest.

A device to lessen the effort of steering
provides for returning the steering head to
a normal or strelght ahead position after
being turned. Incidentally, it may be of
value for learners who are inclined to wab-
BILE, and for weary wheelmen who wish to
take their hands off the bars and st up
straight. BY this device, whom the steering
head is turned, it is slightly raised by
means OF a special gearing. so that the
weight of the rider forces the front wheel
to the normal when the guiding force Is
lessened.

A bicycle frame heavily charged with
lightning nearly killed Charles Wight OF
Danbury, Conn, one night last week, Wight
lives some distance from the city and
usually rides home from work over the
Ridgeheld road. While pedaling through the
woods below Sugar Hollow one evening he
was oyertaken by a heavy shower.
There was a binding flash OF lightning
and a crash which seemed to Wight to shake
the carts. He remembers that something
struck him a blow, but after that all was
blank 10 him until the rain splashing upon
his face awoke him, and he found himself
lying In the gutter by the roadside, soaked
through and aching in every joint Of his
body.
