in a race in which no amateurs were
barred. Lewis has held the interme-
date championship of the country, and
the senior championship of New Eng
land in. the single SOULS.
Another holder of a worlds record,
who lives in this city, is Thomas P. Con-
neff. Conneff has Travelled three-quar-
ters of mile faster than any living
man ever did on foot, doing the distance
in 3m. 245s. at Travers' Island four
years ago. Connect made the amateur
record for the mile the same year, doing
the distance and beating the best anna
teUr England could produce in AM
lh.3-5s. Previous to that mark Con-
neff's Am. II 4-5s. was the best amateur
performance.
The best mile ever negotiated in this
country was done at the oval by
George B. Tincler in a race with Con-
neH two years ago, when he went
around four times in Am. 15s. That
stands as the professional record for
America today. Tincler could have
done Am los, good judges said that day,
which would have been the worlds rec
ord.

Harvard six-oared crew, in the amateur

BICYCLE. TRUST PLANS.

Col. George Pope, the active manager
of the bicycle department of the Pope
Manufacturing Company, in speaking
of the effects of the new bicycle trust.
said that the working out of so gigan-
tic an affair would take a long time.
the changes most of them coming grad
ually, and that it would be Is months
or possibly two years, before all things
would be working smoothly. There
would be general headquarters of the
concern in New York, where all orders
would be received, where the account
ing would be done, where sales would
be made, and the output disposed of.
In the matter of advertising there
would not be so large forces employed
as now, as all that would be concen-
trated at headquarters. So with the
travelling men. In the past the big COM
panies have had travelling men all over
the country, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. This force would all be sent
out from headquarters Neither adver-
Using nor travelling statesmen could be
dispensed with as the headquarters
had the business of selling the output
on its hands, and goods, even good nj
cycles, will not sell themselves.
1t is also true, said Col. Pope. thai
there will be competition in the bicy
Gle trade A. g. Spalding had 20 options
OF manufacturers Of bicycles and bicy-
Gle parts in his hands before the com
bination was made up with az Ana
there are Others some of them doing
very tidy business and able to make
competition lively for some time vet
The concerns that are in the new com
pany have gone about estimating ana
laying out their output for 1900 lust
as if nothing had happened, and il will
be some time before things can be got
down to the fine point of apportioning
what each concern shall make If any
one thinks that there is to be no com
petition in the bicycle trade of 1900 and
1901 he will find himself greatly mis-
taken.
The object of the combination was
not to reduce the cost of production.
That had been accomplished by spe-
cial machinery to about as fine point
as could be expected. Putting the bicv-
cles into the hands of the consumers
had been an expensive matter, and in
this particular branch of the business
the concentration of effort would bring
the cost down to a minimum. In DAYS
past 1t had cost the Pope Manufacture
ing Company $22 to sell every bicycle
that 1t put into market. To be sure. the
cost has been greatly reduced since the
wheel became popular and business
necessity. The outlook for the success
of the new combination Is good and
the stock of the company will be taken
at once, If indications are anything
