Concernfng Good Roads.

With the prospective passing OF not
weather and consequent anticipation among
wheeImen the old subject of good roads
roads which a bicyclist may ride over with
out feeling that he is being submitted TO
the process by which butter is made In GER
tain parts of Central America-has scome
up again. Various of the periodicals de-
voted to the interests of those who affect
the steely steed have been printing col
umns of matter relating to the question,
the long-tried series of organized COM
plants is beginning to threaten, and other
signs betoken that period of the year in
which extended trips are taken with the
most comfort. Very little of the arguments
delivered is likely TO have any practical
effect. but Otto Dorner, Chairman of the
League of American Wheelmen Highway
Committee has been exploiting plan, Or
at least a theory, that should do much to-
ward procuring the pleasure-seekers what
they desire.
Mr.. Dorner's idea is. briefly, that, since
urbanites have come to enjoy the benefits
of good roads equally with their rural
neighbors, the labor and expense of build
ing these pixies should no longer be en-
trusted wholly and solely to the farmers,
who cannot afford It, but that the burden
should be shared by metropolitan taxpay-
ers. This new phase OF the question not
only bears the imprint of probable allie
Walton but of undoubted and. indisputable
justice. The chairman of the Leagues
highway committee is right in saying that
the expense incidental to the construction
and maintenance of efficient means OF
communication between towns is alto
He is just as correct in his statement that
the dwellers in the cities depend as much
upon these roads as do their bucolic pro-
visioners. The union between one and the
other is close-never closer than now
and the business relations of the two are
growing more and more intimate A
wagon load Of grain stuck in a muddy way
is as much an inconvenience to the pur-
chaser as TO the seller.
Furthermore, the cities are the grea'
centres of wealth, the great emporiums il
which business is transacted. the grea
distributing points for manufactures ant
for agricultural products. To them th'
responsibility of road building would b.
neither heavy nor altogether Objectionable
Consequently, it appears that Mr.. Dorne

THE coLUMBIA,s CREW.
The Defenders Men VIII Probabl,
Race the New Yacht.


Newport. R. l., July 25.-Notwithstand-
ing all denials, the crew of the Defender
will be transferred to the Columbia. This
has been determined upon on account OF
the excellent work of Captain Rhodes and
his crew. In every instance where the
two yachts have come together Rhodes has
shown his superiority. and as to the work
OF the crews there can be no comparison,
the Defenders crew being much better in
every particular.
Iselin is very much chagrined at the poor
work of the crew of the Columbia, which,
even with constant drilling under Captain
Barr, fails to show improvement.
1t has also been learned that the man
ayers of both yachts do not intend that the
public shall have an accurate idea of the
comparative merits of the boats, SO it has
been decided that newspaper men shall
not be allowed on the judges boat. They
will have to depend for the official time
upon the judges. In this way the time is
fixed to suit the purposes of the managers.
While 1t was announced by the judges
in the race of last Friday that the Colum-
bia was first over the starting line. 1t is an
absolute fact that that honor belonged to
Defender.
The crews of both boats are under the
strictest pledge to speak to no one in re-
gard to the performance OF the yachts or
as to what transpires on board.
1t has been learned, however, that II is
conceded that in fair race the Columbia
is from four to six minutes faster over a
thirty-miie course than the Defender. This
is because the Columbia is the ''slipperier'
boat The bottom of the Defender is very
rough while that of the Columbia is as
smooth as glass.
The present plan is to keep both crews
OF the yachts at work until the last part
OF August or early in September, in order
that the Columbia's crew may have an
opportunity to improve and TO come up to
the standard required for the great races
with the Shamrock.
Iseln will insist that the men he selected
shall be given a fair trial, but it is no Sc
| cret that the members of the syndicate
| that built the Columbia are displeased tia
| Iselin selected the crew, claiming that
| Captain Barr should have been the man
| for this work. as he was better qualified
| to select his own crew than Iselin.
| The yachtsmen here claim that If Barr
crew then failed to give satisfaction lsehr
| could have remedied the defects.
| Barrs position on the Columbia Is any
| thing but an enviable one, as he is being
| condemned for the slowness and incom-
| petence of a crew in which there is not {
man of his own selection and over which
| he has no control.

TH1RD-RAIL TEST A SUCCESS.
Eight Cars Successfully Drawn b
the New Motive Power

Eight Cars Successfully Drawn by
the New Motive Power.
New Haven, Conn.,, July 25-For the
first time in American railroad history
an entire train of eight cars was pulled by
a third-rail motor yesterday. The expert
ment took place on the Cohasset- Braintree
branch of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad, near Boston, and vas
highly successful.
This is the first attempt to run regu-
lar "third-rail' train. The third-rail sys-
tenn has been tried in Hartford, but cnly
a single car has been run. If the attempt
to run long trains behind the third-rail
motor, as tried at Cohasset. proves satis-
factory all the branch, lines of the Consoli-
dated Road will he equipped with the third
rail for service. 81
The experiment. made yesterday is re-
garded by the Han&sers of the Consoli-
dated Road as the stnost important they
ever have made 9TH motive power.

NEW MEXICO FAIR.
Some of the Great Events to Come Of
 in Albuquerque.

At the approaching carnival and street fair, to be held in Albuquerqe September 19 and continuing five days, Il large plat Of level ground, almost in the center of the city, has been secured for a series of baseball games between clubs representing towns of New Mex ico and Arizona and Fl Paso and the Fair association announces to the clubs that are now arranging to compete for the liberal prize, divided into three purses, that all professionals are barred and that the playing members must be bona fide residents of the towns they represent at least forty-five days be- fore the beginning of the tournament.
 The bar against professionals holds good also in all running events, such us bicycle races, foot races, hose races, etc., for the executive committee of the Fair association is determined to keep all moneys to be given for these events among the people from whom the fair derives it's greatest support.
 While these running events are down on the programme to come off during fair week. lhe visitors to the city in September must remember that they are only a "drop in the bucket" to what will be seen ut the fair this fall.
 The pretty May-pole dance will be given on two afternoons. and the "hu- man flag" or some other pretty design, represented by little boys and girls, will constitute one of the many hand some floats in the big trades display and parade. There will be balloon as-

 During the entire day, from early morn till late at night, the midway plasance will be Il living panorama of novel events, where music will be kept up by brass and string bands, and where jubilee singers, cake walkers. snake charmers, fortune tellers and Oriental misses will be in their glory.
 There will ba an exhibition hall large enough to make fine display of minerals. fruits, vegetables, etc, and where ladies can make displays of fine embroidery and textile work, art and paintings.
 The city will be handsomely decor ated, arches illuminated by electricity will he erected on the. principal thoroughfares of the city. under which the big trades display and parade will pass The merchants will also decor ate generously their places of business.
