for after many years of vain requests on
the part of various promoters, the Asso-
ciated Cycling Clubs of Long Island have
secured permission 10 use the famous
Coney Island cycle paths for a twenty
five mile struggle on this date. If the
weather be fine on the day of the race a
throng of a hundred thousand to see the
contest is not by any means improbable
AS to entries, the association looks for a
crowd greater than in any race since the
days Of Zimmerman. when road racing
was at its height. The prize list will be
such as TO attract the scorchers from near
and far, and with the fine, even character
of the course it win be surprising if all
road records are not broken to bits.
The race will start upon the west path
tgoing toward Coney Islapd), at a point
near Prospect ~Park-Caton avenue, to be
exact. The course will be down this path
for 4 16 miles. when the wide boulevard
will be crossed and the return made on
the other path. Three round trips will
be made. completing the twenty-five
miles. and the turns win be so long and

The recent visit of President keenan,,
Of the League of American Wheelmen, to
Europe has had results which will be the
beginning of a new era in cycle touring
abroad. The position gained for the
League in this feature of the pastiIne is
one of which every international tourist
will be glad to take advantage. The most
important accomplishment of the presi-
dent was the completion OF an alliance
with the I~nternationai Tourists Associa-
ton. Under the agreements in this or
.ganization the benefits and privileges are
reciprocal and many Of It's advantages
can be gained by an American tourist in
no other way than by membership in the
L. A. w. These are to be obtained
through the services and assistance of the
officers Of the various allied organizations
who are Situated in all parts Of the con-

Rumor That They Will Leave the
Hudson Denied.

The rumor that the Valencia Boat Club
fHoboken hasdecided to change its quar-
ters to the Passaic River has been denied
by the members of that organization most
emphatically. The report, it is said, was
started by rowing organizations of the
Passaic. who have been anxious for some
time to number the Valencia among the
member of the Passaic Amateur Rowing
Association, as the club is very strong
and enthusiastic The only ground upon
which tbe report was founded is the fact
that the Valencia Club has quarters on
the Passaic. which they have held for
some wears. and that a crew is started in
The regattas on that river yearly.
It was stated that the Hudson had be-
come too crowded with traffic to permit
! continuance Of rowing, which is not
a fact. as may be appreciated when the
barge number OF crews are seen IN train
ing almost every Sunday afternoon.

Though o~utbatted, the Young Deweys
administered a crushing defeat to the
Aetnas yesterday at the Washington
street grounds. Their victory was due to
the superior fielding and clever base run
ming. Murphy, who twirled for the Act
mas, was a tough proposition, an although
only W of the Deweys did not score hits
off him, there was but one repeater. On
the other hand, Kelly was a little easier
for the Aetnas, but his support was bet

of the game was b clever triple play of
