aturo fell rapidly and the gale increased
in force so that by the time the players
took the field. although they slipped and
slid about in a morass OF mud, snow and
water, the air was biting cold.
Cornell had the wind during the FIRST
half and that factor, combined with the
far better handling of Kicks by its backs,
gave 1t decided advantage for a time, ana
really during the entire half But after
intermission, when sides we're exchanged,
Pennsylvania emerged from the dressing
rooms in clean, dry clothes and were plainly
considerably aided by this relief from the
wet, cold and heavy garments in which they
had finished the first half The wind also
was now in their favor and they speedily
pushed their way down the field. In both
this game and the Chicago game Outland
at critical moment put in long run which
aided Pennsylvania greatly at a period OF
the play when some such encouragement
was badly wanted. Could he. have brought
of similar run at Cambridge he might
have renspired his men.
The Inter- Collegiate Rowing Association
was formed in 1898 by the universities Of
Columbia, Cornell and Pennsylvania for the
/ purpose OF fostering rowing among the va
/ rious American colleges and universities.
The management of the association is
vested in board Of stewards who make the
necessary regulations as to entries and re-
sattas The chairman of the board is Mr..
Francis 5. Bangs of Columbia university.
| 1t is practically assured that the future
/ regattas OF the association will be held on
! the Hudson river at Poughkeepsie, as eX-
/ pericnce shows that course to be the most
accessible and available for the purpose.
The stewards hope in the future to arouse
more general interest in university row.
ing. With that end in view they have estab-
! lished in addition to the freshman and
varsity eights the four-oared race with the
! idea that colleges with a smaller body of
students may be induced to enter that race
/ when perhaps it would not be possible for
them to enter the eights.
1t is also the purpose of the stewards to
| establish pair cared and single sculling
races in the immediate future.
/ The association has held regattas at Sara
toga, July 2, 1885, when freshmen and
! varsity etghts were entered by Columbia,
I Cornell, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and
at Poughkeersie when similar crews were
entered by the same universities as well
as fours by Cornell and Pennsylvania
] In 1898 Dr. l.. l.. Leaman OF New York
a Cornell aumnus, presented to the associa-
tion a perpetual challenge cup to be com
peted for annually by eghts for the cham
pionship of American universities.
The University Of Pennsylvania now holds
the cup, having won it twice in succession
in the years 1898 and 1899.
Pennsylvania also won the four cared race
at Poughkeepse June 26, 1899.
The freshman race for eights was won by
Cornell in 1898 and 1899.

The Baltimore Herald views the decline
philosophiCally, contending that the pass
ing of the craze puts the bicycle upon
frmer basis than at any previous time
since the advent of the safety" 1T has
ceased to be merely a sport and fad" says
the Herald. THE froth OF novelty has evap-
Grated and the residue is the steady, un-
deviating devotion OF the rider who has
no desire to break speed records or to cover
great distances, but who finds pleasure and
health in the exercise
The bicycle crank has had his inning
and the unobtrusive but steadfast lover of
nature has come to the front. He has ex-
haustei the parks and is gradually extend
ing the field of his observations. Out of the
way places, shady lanes, unfrequented paths
and the charm OF rural scenery lure the
wheeman on. Before the bicycle came into
general use the number Of persons who knew
anything about the country within radius
of fifteen or twenty miles were small. Now
hundreds OF people are familiar with almost
every inch Of the ground. They penetrate
each nook and corner. Such trips constl-
tute a liberal education, adding to the BIZ
cyclists store OF information and putting
him in possession of many interesting facts
As an aid to rural exploration the bicycle
Is unsurpassed"

local cycling crank who scoffed at the
assertion that the popularity of the wheel
was on the wane hereabouts sought to prove
the contrary by actual count He chose last
Sunday for his demonstration. 1t was an
ideal October day for wheeling. The Gun
shone brightly-just warm enough to start
the perspiration, with a gentle, soothing
breeze rustling the autumn leaves. Roads
were as perfect as the day. All the condi-
tions were inviting and should have tempted
every rider possessed of hot sporting
Blood or wall flowers anguishing for
want of invigorating air. But they didn't
show up in sufficient numbers to crowd the
tally sheet. The scoffer wheeled back and
forth on Lincoln avenue, around Hanscom
park out Farnam street and Lowe avenue,
back on Cunning street, over the boulevard
and toward Fort Omaha. For three hours
he paraded these streets all by his lone
some and met forty-two persons riding bicy-
cles. Under like conditions two years ago
the scoffer would need a cyclometer to ac-
curately tally the hundreds wheeling over
these streets.

By far the most pathetic evidence Of the
wane of the wheel is to be found in cycle
trade papers, few years ago-say 1896
trade papers were numerous, opulent and
arrogant. Though they did not WELD a
kingly scepter, they were in the push, the
whole thing, and had money to throw to
the birds. They were bursting with ads.
No writers were necessary other than the
gifted geniuses retained to give piquant tone
to page announcement. Editorial and
news scribes eXerted themselves only when
the ghost walked. At other times they sat
at the feet metaphoricaly, Of the ad kings
and. listened with open -mouthed awe and
Difference to their tales of conquest, their
prowess in counting rooms, their thrilling
romance and mirthful stories of the vintage
OF Rameses Glorious days they were. But
they are no more. The erstwhile opuent
publications now wear "a lean and hungry
look" They are few and far between. The
ad kings are husking corn, perhaps; but
the scribes that idled away the time a few
years back, now have pages to fill and are
shedding great gobs of gray matter in an
effort to finish their stint. The poet who
sang OF "the melancholy days" must have
foreseen and sketched the present condition
of cycle trade papers.

The London Cyclist recently published
comparative tests of american and English
built cycles" and the English machine
emerged with flying colors The names were
not published and the whole American trade
suffered from the comparison. 1t turns out
however, that the English machine was made
by the Rover Cycle company Of Coventry
and cost 500, while the American machine
was of Belgian make with an American
name plate and tires and cost $25! Com
menting on the tests another English pa
per the Cycle Trader, says: "Candidly'
we are sorry the wretched comparison ever
appeared. 1t will have the effect when the
truth becomes generally known of encourag-
ing a conviction that English makers are so
worsted by Yankee competition that they
arc prepared to stoop to any mean trick to
protect themselves"

Sandy Griswold, Billy Marsh, T. ]. Foley,
Charles Metz and George Scribner, compcs-
ing the Merganzer club, left Monday for
their annual autumnal outing in the sand
hills Of South Dakota. The club has been
making inroads on the ducks for several
seasons and knows how to prepare for a
three-weeks outing probably better than
any OF the parties who leave Omaha, They
go to a country where there is nothing but
wilderness and marshes, so that they must
take everything that they might happen to
need. This they have learned from expert
ence, and now to see them start one would
be led to believe that they were going on a
two-years' exploring expedition in the Klon-
dixie. But they certainly are thorough
sportsmen and know how to get the game
and where 70 get II.

The American cycle Racing Association Is
preparing to open the indoor racing season
in New York and plans have been made Tor
a nine-lap track in Madison Square Garden
built with banking so steep that a 40

Jimmy Michael is expected to furnish one OF
the main attractions at the garden this win
ter and he is to be matched with all the
mlddle-distancc champions match be-
tween Harry Elkes, who at present holds the
middle-distance championship, is one OF the
prospective contests. As the continuous six
day grinds have been prohibited by law in
New York, the conditions of the sIN-doy con-
tests which proved such drawing cards in
past years will have to be changed. The
long distance races hereafter will be for a
fixed number OF hours each day and Miller
bids fair on this account to hold his title as
worlds champion at the continuous game
