senate been induced TO locate the
school as il has, there were other
towns in Texas ready and willing
to guarantee from $4,000 to S5O,-
600 to buy grounds and erect
buildings for the school. Amcng
other things, Mr.. Grubbs stated
that the friends Of the senate
amendment secured its passage by
using the enemies of the bill ia
pass the amendment making the
school an annex TO the A. and NJ
college and locating it there.
In this connection, the following

MIR. Grubbs In Town.

Mr.. V. W. Grubbs, editor OF
the Greenville Headlight and rep.
resentative Of the people in Green
ville's district in the Legislature Of
Texas, appeared in the city
bright and early yesterday morn.
ing. lie is author of what is
known a. the Grubbs industrial
school bill.
Mr.. Grubbs, as soon as his pres
ence was known in the city, was
taken in hand by our citizens,
shown all the courtesies possible,
and among other things, was taken
oba drive to the A. and NJ. college.
He talked freely Of his bill for
the creation and endowment of an
industrial school for girls. The
measure seems to be near his heart,
and he fears that the passage Of the
senate amendment locating the
school as an annex TO the A. and
VI. college, il adhered 10 by the
senate, will result in defeating the
measure. In fact, Mr.. Grubbs SAYS
he will use his influence to kill the
bill rather than have it lassed with
no probability OF It's bong made
effective. So his purpose at Bryan
was explained to be to induce Bry-
an to raise or guarantee a fund suf.
fcient TO erect buildings for the
proposed school, aud report such
action TO the house committee TO-
day by 10 o'clock. With such a
fund raised he says the bill can
possibly be passed as amended by
the senate, and the school estab.

What Aiis METROPOLITAN Riders?

1t has been a matter of speculation
why it is SO difficult to arouse wheel
men Of the metropolitan districts to
enthusiasm for any reform, improve
ment or innovation. Perhaps it is be-
cause their aggregate number is so
large that the body is unwieldy; but,
whatever the reason, the fact remains
that if one wants to find wheelmen
working together enthusiastically for
the common good ne must go to the
smaller cities and the villages. If
Rochester, Detroit, Minneapolis, Dem
yer, Portland and Seattle can build
miles of exclusive cycle paths to near
by pleasure resorts and along impas-
sable stretches of road why cannot the
wheelmen OF Chicago and New York,

Jimmy" Discouraged by Defeat.

Zimmerman has Cancelled all engage
ments made by him for races. His
defeat by Bald evidently discouraged
the ex-champion, for in a letter to
Earl Kiser the "Skeeter' says he will
race no more, but will confine his at
tention simply to promoting his series
Of summer meets at Asbury Park. Zim-
norman and Kiser were to have met
at Dayton, o., for a series Of three
races, August 26, and sanction had
been issued for the contest. The Jer-
seyman had also scheduled a series of
three contests with Orlando Stevens
for side wager of $500. He failed to
cover the money put up by Stevens
and has informed the latter that he
will not run the races. Among the
racing men it is the consensus OF
opinion that Zimmerman made a mis-
take in declaring everything off in this
manner. They believe he was unduly
nervous in his race with Bald and that
the future held something for him. His
evident turn of speed shown in train
ing impressed the racing men favor
ably. Among them it is considered
that Zimmerman's intentions were not
fully made known in his letter.

Not Interested in Cycle Paths.

With all the widespread interest that
has developed from Atlantic to Pacific
coast in cycle path construction it is
one of the ineXplicaple vagaries OF
metropolitan existence that Chicago
wheelmen take absolutely no interest
in the matter, Notwithstanding that the
thousands who love to journey beyond
the smoke and dust begrimed confines
of the city know that only during July,
August and September can they count
on smooth highways to adjacent towns,
and that during those months the mud
of former months has been converted
into inches of impalpable dust. Cycle
dealers could we'll afford to lend their
assistance to the agitation for better
streets and for cycle paths, as every
added mile of good riding increases
the number of bicycle purchasers.
The Philipsburg mail., 1899-10-06

with their greater number and presum-
ably more wealthy and influential
members, take up similar work and
make cycle paths where they are sorely
needed? Why not shake off the leth-
argy, rise superior to natural condi-
tions, and improve certain popular
routes to neighboring places so that
they may be traversed more than two
or three months in the year? Agitate
the subject of free storage rooms in
office buildings and the accommoda-
tion of patrons bicycles at the large
stores; do more public spirited work
such as boulevarding Jackson street,
building a cycle pathway over Brook
lyn bridge, causing the universal light
ing Of vehicles at night, paving the
streets with asphalt. It has been re-
peatedly shown that when the wheel
men make a universal demand that is
reasonable and for the benefit of
large class instead of in the interests

Hulbert's TOmbstOn

The grave Of William A. Hubert, in
Graceland cemetery, says Chicago
paper, is perhaps the only one in the
world which is marked with a tomb
stone in the shape of baseball. Mr..
Hubert was the president of the old
National League, and when he died in
1882 some of his old associates set
about to show their love and respect
for him, and the result was the monu-
ment in Graceland. The baseball is
made of red granite, about twenty
inches in diameter, showing the seams
as they appear upon one of the balls
used in regulation games. Across the
top appears in raised letters: wv A.
Hubert, President National League, P.
Il. b. c., 1876, 1882" On one side ap-
pears the names of four clubs in the
league-Boston, Providence, Worces-
ter, Troy-and on the other tho:e Of
the other fOur-Chicago, Cleveland,
Buffalo, Detroit Also there IS a head
stone of white marble, upon which ap-
pears the name, together with the
date of birth, Oct %, 1882, and the date
of death, April 10, 1882.

An Exciting Finish.

The score stood to in favor of
the Senators when the Bostons went
in for their last inning Long was first
at bat and slammed the ball over the
left field fence, but it was unfortunate
ly foul. He then flied to O'Brien
The ball then just grazed Collins uni
form, and he was allowed his base.
Duffy got his base on balls, and Stahl
was squarely hit by pitched ball, fill
ing the bases. The stands were full
of hope when Lowe came to the bat,
but hope turned to despair as he tried
to drive the ball over McGann, and
only succeeded in fouling directly into
that individuals hands. Bergen, who
had twice struck out now came up,
and with two strikes on him the
chances were blue, indeed Atherton,
the Washington third baseman, ran to
third to hold Collins there for some
reason or other, and in doing so left
his position vacant. Weyhing pitched
and the ball was driven right through
the hole left by Atherton, and Collins
and Duffy came running over the rub
her with the tying and winning runs
while many of the rooters followed
Bergen and patted him on the back as
he stroye to reach the dressing-rOom.-

GrOgna Defeats TOmmaselli.

Grogna, the Belgian, defeated Tom
maselli, the Italian winner of the
Grand Prix de Paris this year, very
fairly and decisively in match race
run at Liege on July 23 to determine
the supremacy between the best two
riders of Europe for 1899. 1t has been
many years since two riders have rid.
den such close finishes as these two.
The match was run in heats of 1900
meters. In the first Grogna took the
lead, and on the second lap Tommasel-
Ii went to the front and remained there
until he started his sprint on the last
turn. Grogna followed easily and in
the home stretch sprinted past his rival
and led him to the tape by more than
a foot. The Italian took the lead in
the second heat and held it until Grog-
ma started for home on the last turn.

Surpass All Previous ATTEMPTS.

When J. S. Johnson, paced by run
ming horse with wind shield attached
to the sulky, at independence, in '92,
cut Zimmerman record of 2:06 As to
1:56 As on his second attempt, he
clipped off ten seconds, but these rec
ords were not allowed, and 1t will be
conceded that there is more differ
ence between horse pacing and tan
dem pacing than between motor pac-
ing and human pacing Not only that,
but during the intervening years, the
time has been steadily reduced, and as
the figures get smaller the time should
become correspondingly harder to
lower.
Taking all these points into consider
alton it is plainly evident that Taylor
must be given credit for the most re-
markable speed performance in the his
tory of the one-mile record. If he is
content to let it stand, it is not i'm
probable that this record will stand

Manager McGraW, backed by the
Baltimore press and public, forced the
members Of the syndicate which con-
trolls the Oriolex, to live up to their
promise not to run that team as a side
show to their Brooklyn club. All the
cards which Mr.. Won Der Horst may
issue and all the explanations which
Mr.. HanlOn may give, will not satisfy
the public that the Demont-Nops-Jen en-
ningS trade was not departure
from the policy which these gentle
men and their associates solemnly de-
clared would be followed in the opera
tion of their two clubs. Aside from
the syndicate feature the deal" was
not so bad for Baltimore. Jennings
days as a ball player are not over and
he has large following in the Monu-
mental City, where he made his repu-
tatiOn. Dement'S habits are not what
they should be and Nops is equally un-
reliable. Manager McGraW made his
fight and won because a principle was
involved. He had been promised by
the owners of the club. which under
his management has developed unex-
pected strength. not only that none of
his players would be taken away from
him, but that his efforts to strengthen
his team would meet with their most
cordial cooperation. He had engi-
neered good deal with the Chicago
club for DemOnt and declined to part
with that player and protested against
being deprived Of the services of Nops,
whom he considers when in condition,
the best left-handed pitcher of the pc
riod. With the press and public of
Baltimore siding with the Orioles
manager, the syndicate did not dare to
