From the Chicago Journal.
The number of artists in Chicago was in
creased recently by the arrival Of one from
a distant city, who during his leisure mo-
ments strolled about the downtown streets
seeing the sights.

ings were displayed in the windows ne
stepped inside to look about. Standing be-
fore landscape about 1Ox14 inches in size
he assumed the manner of an admirer of
art and awaited the approach of the pro-
prietor.
The latter advanced smiling and rubbing
his hands. He greeted the visitor cordially,
and said
you are an admirer of paintings see"
eyes, to some extent" was the reply.
THAT is a pretty bit of scenery" the
dealer returned. that you are looking at

$25."
"WeI, it's evidently a fair price, but the
fact is / don't want to buy them; l am
painter myself.

"Well, whu. 10 you pay?" asked the
artist, impatient1y.

Eddie Bald, the Pioneer Of the
Cyclists,
PREPARING FOR RACING SEASON
Pronounces the Conduit Road Track
Very Fast.
THE "OUTLAWS'" PROSPECTS

Eddie G. Bald, who for the past three
years has been the champion short-distance
bicycle rider of the United States, is in
the city and hard at work getting himself
in condition for the work of the coming
season. He reached Washington about the
middle of the week, in company with Doc
Morrow, his trainer, and Immediately took
quarters at the Rock Springs Hotel, on
the Conduit road, where quarters had been
engaged in advance. His training Will be
done entirely on the third-of-a-mie board
track of the Park Cycle Club, which is
perhaps a mile or two from his training
quarters.
Since his arrival in the city Bald has
been hard at work, under the direction of
his trainer, in attempt to round into
condition as soon as possible. He visits
the track every day and spends much time
on the course, and will keep up the pro-
gram while he remains here. Though he
has been careful of himself ever since the
commencement of spring, he practically
has only three weeks in which to train for
hard riding, rather short time for BIZ
cycle racer who comes in contact with the
cracks of the whole country.
Bald made his bow to the Washington
public two years ago, in the fall of the
year, when the first national circuit meet
was scheduled for this city. Last year he
visited Washington in the spring an l..
A. w rider. and in the fall he returned as
president of the American Racing Cyclists
Union. the organization of the crack riders
who bid defiance TO the League of Ameri
can Wheelmen in cycle racing, and refuse
to abide by Its arbitrary racing rules
The idea of the riders is to get into con-
dition as soon as possible, and to rake in
some of the big purses offered for spring
meets. In order to accomplish this the
riders have trained away down south, at
Savannah, Ga, and then again in Califor-
mia. but the change in coming north or to
a cooler climate had a more or less bad eff
feet, and ii has been found best to train
as far north as possible. This year the rid
erS went to the Fountain Ferry track at
Louisville. KY, an l.. A. W. track but
they leave that place for this city, where
the finishing touches will be put on.
Though he has been in Washington only
a few days. Bald is high in his praise of it
as an ideal place for training. and he seems
to think it strange that the racing men
never before realized this. 1t was partly by
chance that he came to select this city for
training. The fact that Washington was
practically the birthplace of the A c. r.
L., led him to come here, and now he is
extremely glad of his choice. He Is also
equally as glad that his fellow riders are
coming here, so that the colony will be

Admirably Adapted for Training.

yesterday to a Star reporter, washington
has as fine track as any city in the coun-
try, and the climate is admira bly, adapted
to training. These are the two great essen
ttals for the successful training of a racer
After the varied experience that / have had
IN spring training l am glad at last that /
have struck a place that suits me so we'll
| have trained down south, have trained
IN California and have trained at the Hot
Springs. In fact, / have trained in almost
all sections of the country, but no place
suited me so well as Washington, and
think that | will appear here every spring
so long as l remain in the racing game
and get ready for the seasons work
The board track l knew to be fast. l
have ridden on it at about three or four
meets. and knew that good time could be
made, but not until I began training did |
realize It's speed qualities. The first attempt
