A new BICYCLE TRACK
Co'umbia Athletic Club Likely to
Build One.
The Old Van Ness Mansion to He
Demolished and a Four-Lap
Cou rise Substituted.

There is a rumor in cycling circles
that Washington will have a new race
track this summer. Ii is said that the
Columbia Athletic Club proposes 10 tear
down the old Van Ness mansion I'm the
Columbia field. and to construct four
lap track The present track is en-
tirely too small for good racing A
quarter-mile track is just what the To-
cal cyclists want, and if the Columbia
Athletic Club will construct such a track
il will be hailed with the greatest sat
isfaction by the local cyclists. 1t may
be, however, that in the event of the
track being built, the club may intend
il only for club use, and that for the
other meets it will not be available.
However that may be. the construction
of the track is likely to prove popular
with the local riders, as they viii have
at least one or TIVE opportunities TO
try il.
Ii is a well-known fact that track
owners all over the country lost money
last season. and il is believed that they
will not lose so much this season. The
men who made money last year We're
the race promoters. Almost without eX-
ception they reaped rich rewards. There
is small doubt that track owners, both in
this section and in other parts of the
country. viii see that more equita BILE
arrangement of profits is forthcoming
this year

GENERAL SPORTING NOTES.

Richard Sheldon. the famous weight
tosser of Yale, has entered the Columbia
University. This improves Columbia s
chance to defeat Princeton in the next
dual meet.
The Century Cycle Club will this year
attempt 10 break its remarkable record
in carrying s33 riders around the circle
on its annual century run. A novelty in
the shape of half century medal will
be offered survivors.
The snarl in the Yale-Cornell rowing
situation has been Strengthened out by
the sportsmanlike action on the part of
Yale in issuing formal challenge to
Cornell and its acceptance by the latter.
This arrangement insures the brightest
outlook for boat racing of recent years.
Pat Raedy, the Washington middle
weight, intends TO dispute kid Nc
Coy's claim TO the middleweight cham
pionship. and his manager Mike Ha-
ley. has deposited a forfeit for a fight
with Mccoy or. any other white man at
15S pounds at the ringside.

MAY NOT REPORT A BILL.
The River and Harbor Committee
Divided i'm Sentiment

The Republican members Of the House
River and Harbor Committee are still
very reticent as 10 whether a general
bill will be reported.
They say that the demand from the
outside is very heavy. but privately adj
init that the leaders of their own party I'm
Congress are against Ii this session, on
account of the heavy deficit in the reve-
nues of the Government. Representative
Catchings. the ranking member among
the Democrats on the committee. has just
returned from a visit to Nicksburg. and
Is therefore not well posted as to what
has been done during his absence He
thinks. however. that there is probably
a strong enough sentiment in the COM
mittee. outside of political utilization, to
turn the scale i'm favor of reporting a
bill. The hearings are taking place right
along, and there will be great disap-
pointment among the congressman If
the pork is cut off.
