held at the residence of Mr.. c. E. Wood,

tecOrd of the Clubs

Refreshed by the rest of Thursday, the
Brooklyns and the Washingtons went out on
the field at Washington Park Brooklyn,
yesterday afternoon, and put up a very
snappy, gingery game of ball, to the delight
of 800 spectators.
The Senators surprised all who saw their
performance by their improvement In form.
They played a neat fielding game, even
though they were shut out. Could they
have batted as well as they fielded, the joy
that prevailed in Gowanus last evening
would have been conspicuous by Its alb
sence.
But their batting was not on par with
their fielding, because there was something
hypnotic about big Mr.. Kennedy's delivery.
and they couldn't get away from its in
fiuence. He had a varied assortment of
curves and drops and shoots. besides tre-
mendous speed and q slow ball that was
aWfully tantaliZing.
So while the Washingtons got few hits,
nearly as many as the Superbas did, they
failed to bunch them, with the result that
not a senatorial toe touched home base.
MERGERS Little Bunt.
They connected with the ball first In the
fourth inning. when Mercer sneaked in a
little bunt after Mcclure had gone out, and
Cassidy followed with a ripping drive past
McGann. Mercer tried to get around to
third on that hit, but Keeler's great throw
to Casey beat him by foot.
Gettman got d base on balls in the fifth,
only to perish in a double play on Dineen's $
rap to DAILY. Freeman made g. strong bid
for home run in the seventh, but Ander-
son spoiled it by taking his long drive on
dead run away out in deep center.
In the ninth Mercer was first up and
sreaked in another little bunt, bu- nothing
came of it. for Mercer was doubled up wit
Cassidy on the latterS rap 10 Daily, and
Mcclure popped up a fly for McGann.
The three runs the BroOkyns got We're
the product Of sharp and timely hitting.
There Were times when Dineen's delivery
also seemed hypnotic and then there were
times when it did not
One of these times, for example, was in
the third inning, when Casey sped down to
second as Gettman was chasing the ball
just inside the foul line. AS Keeler went
out at first Casey moved along to third
and then scored as Slagle closed on Kel-
ley's high fly in right center.
Another of those times was in the sew
enth inning. when Farrell sent the ball
jumping out to left for three bases and
Kennedy drove him home with a whack to
the railing in left center that was also good
for three bases. Then Kennedy went to
sleep and McGulre's quick throw to Mercer
caught him.
And the last of the times alluded to was
In the eighth inning, when Casey plunked
the hall over Mercer head for two bases
and ran home as keiley's rap shot bet W cen
Mercer and Huleu. Score:

HARTFORD
TIRES.

There is only one reason for
the popularity OF pneumatic
tires. They save effort. The
less power you have to expend
in propelling your wheel the
more Your enjoyment.
Now there are all kinds of
pneumatic tires. good and bad,
high priced and low priced. The
good ones make bicycling a
pleasure, the bad ones make it
work, work as depressing as if
it were on a treadlnlll.
If you want to get the best
enjoyment out of your wheel
get the best possible tires. Bet
, ter a cheaper grade wheel with
good tires than the best wheel
with poor ones.
The poorer bearings on the
cheaper wheel might use up two
, or three per cent more power.
The poorer tires will certainly
use up ten or fifteen per cent
and will make the better wheel
run worse than the poorer one.
This is because the poor tire is
made of heavy fabric stiffened
. with rubber filled with mineral
compounds. 1t cannot be made
pliable because that would mean
pure rubber. and rubber is ex-
pensive. 1t cannot fit itself to
the rough places in the road SO
quickly and so waste power.
HARTFORD TIRES
Stand in a class by themselves.
They are soft and pliable and 50
save effort. They are high
priced because fabric and rub
Der are the best that can be pro-
cured, but are more economical
IN the end because they wear
we'll.

Iadtes' Wheel Club.

A spirited meeting of the Ladies Wheel
Club was held Monday evening. Consider
able discussion followed the expression of
doubt by one Of the members that the
name selected at previous meeting was a
really desirable one. 1t was decided that it
was not inasnuch as it was very vague.
1t was therefore decided finally to rename
the club the Olympia Ladies Wheel Club
Another matter which received attention
was the costumes to be worn in the jubilee
parade. 1t is the intention of the members
to make a strong bid for the club prize,
even against the older clubs.

Sent to Manufacturing Countries.
One curious and interesting fact in re-
gard to the exports of bicycles illustrates
the general tendency of our export trade
in manufactures. This is the fact that a
very large proportion of our exports of
manufactures go to manufacturing coun-
tries. Two-thirds of our bicycles go to
countries which make a speciality of manu-
featuring, and this export to manufacturing
countries increases rather than otherwise.
1t will be remembered that predictions
were made year or two ago that the
ports of bicycles to Japan would decrease
as soon as the Japanese had obtained sutfi-
cient numbers as models for their own fac
tories and established themselves in the
manufacture of wheels. This prediction,
however, has not proven true. The exports
of bicycles to Japan, which In the fiscal
year 1897 amounted to So, 1I9, were in lSS
SSS,9O5, and in the fiscal year which ends
next month will reach fully $130000.
To Cuba, Hawaii and Porto Rico.
The islands which have been brought into
closer relations with us by the events of the
past year evidently appreciate bicycles as
among the good things of the United States.
Cuba, which in the nine months of 1897
bought but 81 ,469 worth, has bought in the
nine months of the present fiscal year $S-
1O1 worth of bicycles. The exports Of BIZ
cycles for the full fiscal year 1898 to Cuba
amount to S9,214, to Porto Rico $3.50, to
the Hawaiian Islands So, ,O72, though to the
Philippines there seems to have been no
direct expectation of bicycles
The largest single buyer of our bicycles
in the fiscal year 1898 was the united king
dom. which took 81 S52, 166, though, as al
ready indicated, the figures as to values for
the current fiscal year will not be as large
those of last year. Germany's purchases
of bicycles from us last year amounted to
$1,724, ,404. Canada came next in amount of
purchases in this line. the total being $611,-
4O2, while France was next with purchases
amounting to $4S2. .6S2; British Australasia
next, $500 906; Netherlands. S251,91S Den
mark, $22S,37O; British Africa, S14S,oo3;
British East Indies, $90,3S Japan, SSS9o5;
China, $27 40; Dutch East Indies, $l3,36s,
and Africa, $11 647. To many Of these dis
tant places the exports of bicycles in the
present fiscal year will exceed those of last
year. To Japan, as already indicated. the
present years exports nearly 90 per
cent in excess of those of last year; to Ar
gentina they have more than doubled. and
to the British East Indies the increase is
more than $50 per cent.

SENATOR'S NEW SHORTSTOP.
Frank Bonner, the weII-knOwn Minor
Lacquer, VIII Relieve Hulen.

Frank Bonner is the much heralded short
stop that is to relieve Billy Hulen in the
makeup of the Senatorial infeld Manager
Irwin has been negotiating with the Hart
ford club for week past and last night the
news was given out that Bonner had been
secured.
In 1893 Frank Bonner was the sensa-
ton of the minor leagues, his work for
Wilkesbarre at second base being of the
phenomenal order and his batting away
above the 800 per cent mark. Manager
Hanlon, after considerable trouble secured
Bonner for the Baltimore team, but Hugh
Jennings played with such extraordinary
skill during the '94 season that the new
man was given very little chance to de-
velop, and as a result he drifted back into
the minor leagues once more.
Taking the last two seasons into account
1t would appear as II Bonner has been
going backward. In 1897 he played with
Scranton and in 1iS games had batting
record of 800, while at second base his
per cent was .43l. Last season he was
with Rochester and Ottawa, and in 40
games hatted only up to ,29S, his fielding at
second being .9;i
This spring Bonner signed with Hart
ford and his work has been of the gilt
edge order He is essentially a hitter his
fielding being of the steady kind. but not
brilliant Bonner's weight handicapping
quick play. Manager Irwin Is doubtless
after players who can hit the ball. and
Bonner is about the best man that can be
secured at this season of the year The
report that Dick Padden will be moved
over to short looks foolish, as Dick has
enough trouble getting the ball to first
from the second baseman's position and the
additional distance from the left side of
second base would almost put him out of
the business. Should Bonner continue the
gait at which he played this spring in Hart
ford he may prove a valuable man for the
Senators, otherwise 1t will be a case of an
other "dead-one" for Washington.
