Cycling Chat.

TO Mr.. a. L. Stephens, of Dawson,
Yukon territory, must be given
n the credit of making the first
trip on a bicycle from Skaguay to
Dawson over the ice-fields. Mr.. Ste
phens is cashier Of the Alaska Com
mercial company, and was an enthu-
siastic cyclist until his residence in
the new gold country compelled him
to relnquish that pastime.
His first proposal to take the trip
was not taken seriously, but Mr..
stephens notified his friends that he
was perfectly earnest in his@ intention
to ride over the snow and ice on his
wheel. He chose his hOmeward trip
for the endeaVor chiefly because the
weather was somewhat moderated in
the early part of March. Subsequent
ly he had reason to question the wis
dom of his choice because the thaw-
ing of the ice and several snow slides
threatened to put stop to his ride.
His preparations took into consid-
Grafton that the ride would be over
very rough ice, coming especially hard
on the tires and rims of a bicycle, so
he chose a Columbia bevel-gear chain
less bicycle as his mount and equipped
the latter being corrugated to prevent
slipping. He left Skaguay for Daw-
son March Z, and Of course made very
slow progress over the Chilkoot Pass
to Lake Bennett. He was delayed 95
hours by snow slides at the start. He
left Lake Bennett at room on March
i3, and covered the entire distance to
Dawson in trife more than seven

brought in to short, while Dan Kervin
went to center field.
Knox played well at short and only
made one error, that being a muff of
an easy fly from Witrock's bat, which
he dropped through overcontidence.
OBrien accepted all the chances Of
fered him at third base with ease, while
Kervin in center was given no oppor-
tunity to distinguish himself.
Shannon and VigneuX showed up
most favorably for the visitors. The
center fielder accepted all his chances
in the most approved manner, and lit
tie Vigneux made the greatest play of
the day in the eighth inning. loft
drove a bounder between first and Sec
ond bases. 1t looked like a sure hit,
but Vigneux started after it, and just
managed to get it with one hand. He
recovered himself quickly and lined it
to Berrywill in time to put out the
Scranton catcher.
Neither Scranton nor Harrisburg
scored until the fourth inning, when
Mcintyre opened the inning with a
single, went to second on Byers' passed
ball and scored on Kervin's hot one to
center.
No more scoring was done until the
sixth. Mcintyre drew a base on balls,
Kervin got his second hit and Pirate
O'Brien went to first on Berryhilps er-
ror. loft batted one to VigneuX and
the second baseman had a chance to
throw to second and make a double
play. He tried to make a back hand
ed throw however, and the ball went
about two feet, everyone being safe.
Milligan's out and KnOl's three bagger
then followed, and when the dust had
cleared away four more runs were in.
In the second Knox drew a base on
balls and scored on Kervin's drive to
left for two bases.
In the ninth inning Battam opened,
by tanning out. Byers, who was just
aching all over for a hit, caught a nice
one and slammed it to left for two bags,
but Mcclure struck out and Berryhill
sent one toward second, which Pirate
O'Brien gobbled The score:

Giant while It is in it's present state.
Rubin has already been sportsman
enough to declare that he will not
meet Fitzslmmons unless the latter
is in perfect physical condition, and
so 1t seems that the bout will again
be postponed. The contest is being
watched with interest by all members
of the sporting fraternity, and con-
siderable debate has been aroused as
to its probable outcome.
Another fight that is arousing plenty
of comment is the match between Kid
Mccoy and Tom Sharkey 1t was
originally scheduled for June 20, but
was postponed and it is now likely
that 1t will take place sometime In
July. 1t will be twenty-five round
contest, and would probably be much
on the same order as the recent Cor
bett-Jeffries fight as Mccoy is a
clever, shfty boxer of the Corbett
type, while Sharkey is one of the
fierce, hard, rushing fighters who
carry all before them by bodily
strength. Both men of course declare
themselves confident of putting their
opponent out of business. Sharkey's
friends are certain that the sailor
will dispose of his lighter antagonist
in small number of rounds, while
the Mccoy adherents think that the
Kid can keep in the ring the limit,

TO RECEIVE TREATMENT.
Well Known Newspaperman Threat
ened with Serious Calamity.

John f. McDonough, of the Free
Press staff, left yesterday afternoon
for Philadelphia to receive treatment
for his eyes. inflammation of an optic
nerve has totally blinded one eye and
seriously impaired the vision of the
other. Local physicians who have been
treating him expressed the opinion
that the impairment is not likely to
be permanent.
He had been complaining for several
months of pain one one of his eyes,
but thought little of it until two weeks
ago, when his sight began to fail him.
This was a few days after the death
of his sister, which occasioned his re.
naming without sleep for a long
period. He consulted local optician
and when 1t was found his aiment
was steadily growing worse he decided
to go to Philadelphia and receive the
treatment of experts.

Everything about the kitchen Of a
great stamship is on d most elaborate
scale. The range weighs many tons.
The various soup caldrons are con-

lLoaves are baked by the hundred,

thousands of plates, pieces of silver,
cups and saucers and napkins are re-

The amount of stores required for. Il
single voyage by a great liner is copa-
parable only to the commissartat of

nished by the chief steward of one of
the big German ships from the order
sheet for a recent trip: Sixteen tons
of fresh beef, five tons of lamb and
veal, $500 head of chickens, ducks.
geese and game, four tons Of salted
meats, 1000 dozen of eggs, three tons
of sugar. 100 barrels of flour, 700 bush
els of potatoes, two and one-half tons
of butter, 1000 quarts of milk, and
500 gallons of ice cream. OF course,
this is not an exhaustive list, but it
will serve to give an idea of the enor-
nous appetite which the storerooms
of the ocean liner must satisfy. No
less wonderful than their amount Is
the manner in which they are stored,
prepared and served within the re-
stricted quarters of even the largest
vessel. 1t represents a triumph OF per-
feet decentralization.

cast adrift by the cutting down of the

who were grabbed for by the American

However, the men who have been do

ANOTHER SHUT OUT.
Milligan Pitched Live Ball for
Scranton and Shut Out Harris
burg Vigneux's Stop.

The present Scranton team is evil
IDENTIFY bent on smashing all baseball
records in this section of the country.
Since it's return home from the last trip
il has not lost a game on the home
grounds, taking four from Allentown,
three from Wilkes-Barre, three from
Reading, and up to date two from Har-
risburg. In the last five games played
the visiting teams have scored three
runs, the Reading club being shut out
twice, and the men from Harrisburg
having also gone down twice with nine
rows of goose eggs.
Yesterdays game was a fine victory
over the Harrisburgs, the Legislators
going down to defeat to the air of Go.
This same Harrisburg team, by the
way, isn't such a very slow aggrega-
tion at that. Byers, shannon, Nc
Guire and Berryhill are all good hit
tiers, and Shannon is in addition one
of the fastest outfielders that has
played here this season. Little Wig
neuX plays a fine game at second, and
goes after everything that comes any
where in his territory, in an exceed
ingly rapid manner, and the whole
team plays a fast, snappy game.
Yesterdays victory was won through
the great pitching of Milligan. The
ex-Bison had speed and curves galore,
and perfect control. He only allowed
three hits and struck out nine bats
men. The mighty Spike Shannon was
easy for him and famed the air twice,
while Shortstop Battam was struck out
thrice. Witrock didn't pitch a poor
game by any means, and gave but
eight hits, Kervin being the only local
who experienced no difficulty in finding
him.
Scranton presented a patched-up
team. Doherty is still resting on the
bench and as a result, the nine suffered
shake up. Jack O'Brien was shift
ed to third base, and Dick Knox

YESTERDAYS GAMES.

Scranton won again yesterday and
now has a great lead on the entire
league. The only change made in the
standing was that Allentown, by de-
feating IGlmira, goes ahead of Harris
burg, the Legislators dropping to sew
cnth place. In the National league no
changes were made. Boston, however,
played great ball against Chicago and
by beating the Westerners reduces
their lead to only three points. If Bos-
ton wins again today, they will be fifth
and dangerously near st. Louis in
fourth place. The averages:

A Monument to Indians.

To commemorate the enduring
friendship of the Catawaber Indians
for the whites, and to honor the men
of the tribe who, in 1861, entered the
confederate army and fought for the
south, a monument has dedicated at
Fort Mill, S. c. An Indian brave,
chiseled from marble, stands upon a
granite pedestal, his bow bent and
arrow on string. On the base are in
scriptions recounting the services of
the Indians in the civil war, the names
of those who fought and those who
fell. Many of the Indians were them
selves Shareholders.
