TWO AMATEURS QUARREL
AN UNEXPECTED OCCURRENCE Al
CYCLOMERE.
Jones Wins Over Terrill in the Match
Race-The Best Nights Racing Yet
Seen There.

An unpleasant feeling broke out
among two prominent amateur riders
at Cyclomere track last evening. At
the close of the final heat of the one
mile amateur handicap event, Henry
Giles and Tom King had some words.
A blow was struck and both men then
rushed in for an ARRAY.
The trouble came about i'm this way.
Henry and Arthur Giles had qualified
in the first heat of the mile handicap
in 2:30 Is. At the start of the Sec
ond heat Kings pedal broke, and he
fell before he had gone three yards
from the line. Starter Crozier, whose
duty it was to call the riders back in
case of false start, was not near the
bell and was unable to carry out his
duties at that particular time. The
heat was won by Ludloff in 1929 2-5.
VIII Cornwell and Fred Damon quail
fed.
King protested to the referee that
he should be permitted to ride in the
final heat. The referee informed him
that if he would be willing to forfeit
his handicap of twenty yards and TO
start from the scratch, he would allow
him to participate, providing the 9th
er riders were willing. When the rid
ers lined up for the final the referee
explained why King was going to ride
and asked if there would b OBJECTION
said nothing, leaving the referee to
believe that silence gave consent.
Then one of the track officials sug.
| gested to Damon and Giles that they
were foolish to allow King to go into
the race. These riders then objected
and the referee informed them tina,
they had consented and it was too late
All started. Ludloff won in 2:44
Damon was second and Henry Gle,
third. King came in last. 1t was sale
that he had been pocketed. 1t was af
ter this heat that the row took place
Allen Jones won his match race
with Harry Terrill in two straigh
heats. In the first Terrill took the
lead and was beaten at the finish. II
the second Jones took the lead ant
kept it to the finish. The best tim,
for the two-thirds was :46 2-5.
George Martin won the mile profes
sional handicap in 2:1s. Bilmartl
was second and Sylvester third.
Sylvester made the one-third mill
professional in 80 second fiat. TIN
is Sylvas time Later in the evenin.
George Martin tied Sharrick's ride o
81 1-5. Arthur Giles made the anna
teur third in II seconds.
Rice won the boys race in 2:47 A.
Holoua came in second.

HILO DEMANDS LIGHT.

Manager Grant has estimated that
it would cost in the neighborhood of
S11 200 to install an electric light eX-
tension and running it for the blen-
NAL period. The representatives from
the Island of Hawaii were recommend
ed to ask the Legislature for this sum-
Some of the citizens thought it best
to ask for more in order that they
may be sure of securing the amount
needed. Mr.. Mason and others main.
tanned that the exact sum should be
presented and this should be insisted

SEALING.

According to report of the Japa-
nese Department of Agriculture and
Commerce, the number of foreign YES
sells engaged in sealing that visited
Yokohama and Hakodate during the
year, consisted of 16, including IL
British and American ships, with a
tonnage of 1,14S, the seals caught
numbering $3.50. AS compared with
the preceding year, the number of YES
sells is less by 26, with total tonnage
of Ira, and the catch shows a dimin-
ution of 1854.

Hawaiian
Electric
Company.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe: nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and l take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you wall.
We have a complete stock Of everything in
this line and have just received a lot Of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

Prompt Payment ola Big Sum

December 4th Rouse, Hazard & Co.
mailed their attorney at Chicago a
draft for $17,S10.96, payable to the
Western Wheel Works, that being the
amount which had been in litigation
between the two companies for sever
al years. The ability of Rouse, Haz-
ard d Co. to forward this large sum
just at this season of the year, when
the pay rolls and other expenses of
bicycle manufacturers are very large,
and receipts very small, is certainly a
most convincing evidence of the SOL
vency of one of the oldest bicycle con-
Germs in the United States. OF the
manufacturers and jobbers of bicycles
who were in business when Rouse, Ha-
zard & Co. entered that line, more
than eighteen years ago, the number
that still exist can be counted on the
fingers of one hand. Rouse, Hazard &
Co. report that their present prospects
are the brightest of any time during
all the years they have been in bust
ness. They now have bona fide orders
from gilt edged concerns for a larger
number of machines than they ever
had orders for at any one time.
The next Australia will bring us a
full line of these wheels. They will
have more than their share of up-to-
date features, and will make up the
most elegant line of 1898 wheels that
will be seen here this year. We shall
also receive line of Kensington's. 1t
will pay you to wait.

In their indiScriminate haste to an
nOunce the making of chainless wheels,
some manufacturers have tumbled over
each other in the endeavor to be III front.
10 be in front is a spasm, to keep in
front is sustained energy. 70 utter Il
truism is one thing, to live up to it is
another.
The spirit of the aphorism of the
Monarch Cycle Manufacturing Com
pany, Ride a Monarch and Keep i'll
Front" is well illustrated in its latest
product, The Monarch Chainless. Alive
to the times, the company will pro
duce chainless bicycle which has been
proven by repeated tests to be superior,
in its class, in every particular.
Two surfaces that will roll on each
other will transmit motion from one to
the other. If the surfaces are compar-
atively smooth, the motion is transmit
ted by friction. But, when the surfaces
are provided with projections, the mo-
ton, although it is unchanged immature,
is transmitted by direct pressure, and
it is irregular unless the acting surfaces
of the prOjec ions are carefully and
exactly shaped to rroduce an even mo-
ton. 1t is the difficulty winch is ex-
perienced to produce these perfect pro
jecGions, when bevel gears are used,
which leads the experienced mechanic
awav from them. Long experience in
Sewing Machine manufacture has
taught the Monarch Company that
whatever tran Smission was used, hevel
gears were not to be considered it easy
running was to he thought of. The
result has been q driving gear which is
excellent in its easy running qualities.
The mechanism is simple. The crank
axle md hub rpars somewhat resemble
the amiIiar sprocket wheels, the notice
able difference being the teeth which
are closer together and " shape in cross
section instead of four sided. The
shaft connecting the two is provided at
each end with a piniOn having roller
pin teeth which RIM in and out of the
wide ano1e openings between the gear

The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1898-03-11

but should they from any cause be ex-
posed the action of the PIN teeth is such
that they are seff-cleaning, forcing mud
aud dirt out from between the teeth
one of the chief objections urged
against chainless wheels by mechanics
is that should the rear frame become
twisted or out of line, there would be a
consequent binding of the mating gears.
The Monarch chainless is entirely free
from this objection iDasmuch that the
junction of the piniOns and gears form
type of the ball and socket joint,
thereby permitting free running under
the conditions usually met with in
bicycle riding. A particular advantage
which this gear has, and witch gives 1t
the highest efficiency, is the direct lift
as against the end thrust which is COM
mon to all bevel gearing. This end
thrust is prominent factor in friction
and frame strain.
Another point to be counted in favor
of the Monarch gear is, that it is not of
delicate construction although COM
paratively light in weight.
Asstated nv Grant. the well known au-
thority Ongears, "The pin gearisparticu-
larry valuableSwhen the pins are made in
the form of rollers fOrthen the minimum
of friction is reached" The friction
between the tooth and pin, otherwise a
sliding friction at line bearing is with
a roller pin. rolling friction. When
properly made, there is no form of tooth
that is superior to the roller pin
tooth
While the Monarch company is war.
r1nted from the study of experts in
placing its chainless machine on the
market as the best type of that class,
its faith in the chain wheel is in no way
diminished. 1t will continue to keep
them in the forward ranks of that type
of bicvcle which isyet the choice of the
majority of the people. In line with
the general policy of the Monarch COM
PAW. the price of IFS chainlpss will be
