have proved disastrous. The incidents

There has been a good deal of talk,
especially in England. lately Of an Eng
lish team being organized To visit
America and also of an American team
going over to England to take part in
an international tournament there. II
such a thing could take place, il would
undoubtedly create an immense amount
OF interest and once started would
probably become an annual affair and
possibly lead to a very interesting Sc
ries of matches.
The annual international shoot at
Monte Carlo brings together the crack
pigeon shots of all countries except
America. Only one of our representa-
tives has ever distinguished himself
there by winning the premier prize, and
that was when Mr.. George Lorillard
won the Grand Prix away back in 1872,
the year this great annual live bird
shoot was established. This year the
prize was captured by Curling. an Eng
lishman, with a full score His nearest
opponent was the Italian. Marquis de
Seragna who missed his first bird. w.
Rogers. the only American in the con-
test. retired after killing one bird and
missing three.
The greatest pigeon shooting contest
in the United States is the Grand Amer
lean handicap. The sixth annual shoot
OF this contest will be held at Elkwood
Park. y. J.. on March %. 20 and a. and
promises to surpass all previous tourna-
ments of the kind. as a majority of the
most celebrated pigeon shots in the
country have sent in their entries

Elkwood is unsurpassed anywhere in
the world. and with three sets Of traps
and dozen or more we'll trained re-
trieving dogs marvelously rapid shoot

This year the Interstate association
has increased the purse from $1,000 to
81 500, and the three high guns will re-
ceivc nurses--s600 TO the first. $500 10 the
second and Si00 TO the third. The sur

Will Ask Aid Of Congress.

Colonel T.. NJ. Hamburger. the official
representative of the Amateur Athletic
union to the Paris exposition, Will press
upon the attention of congress the need
of appropriating $4,000 to defray the
expenses of an American athletic team
To the international championships
which are to be held at Paris during
the exposition of 1900.
Should congress fail to respond to the
moderate request of the A. A. u, 1t Is
very probable that the states and cities
having representatives on the all Amer
lean team will be asked to contribute
something toward the general expense.
Mr.. G. G. Hughes, a prominent member
of the A. A. u, recently remarked that
the whole civilized world is now inter-
ested in physical culture. and congress
should recognize its Importance by hav-
ing the best America can produce at the
French fair. The municipal authorities
of several American cities are now en-
couraging athletics in the form of open
air gymnasiums. and there would be

Pacemaking Troubles.

The question that is bothering the cy.
Gle racing men and promoters just nowia
how to overcome the advantage one rid.
er has over another through ability to
get togethd and hold a well drilled pac.
ing team and how to overcome the dis
advantage Of single pacemaking in short
distance races. In considering the ques-
tion of pacemaking IL should be clearlD
understood that the conditions OF a rad
and the conditions OF a time trial al
totally different.
In afrace IL is very essential that tE
conditions should be equally fair RI
each man. but i'm q time trial speed onH

BILE
In race unless~it be short sprint.
total absence of pacing introduces un-
fairness. as IL means that some one Of
the competitors must suffer the dsad-
vantage of being unpaced. This pacing
however. although introduced To equal
izS matters, has in effect resulted in tho
crossest unfsirness that has ever been
attributed To any competitive sport.
Pacing in races, instead OF equaliz'ng
matters so that each man has an equal
chance has developed so that one man
has had the pacing to himself.
A tandem paced race is unfair unless
each man has tandems. and this rllf
applies to all other styles Of pacing mr..
chimes. The race is unfair unless each
rider has the same kind Of multicycles.
