A WONDERFUL RIDE.
A.. l.. STEPHENS, OF DAWSON CITY,
MAKES THE FIRST TRIP OVER
THE ICE FIELDS ON A
FROM SKAGUAY TO DAWSON
In a Little Over Seven Days, Count
ing All Delays-The Two Mile
Handicap at the Fair Grounds
Yesterday-Other Items of Interest
Concerning the Steel Horse.

To A. L. Stephens, of Dawson, Yu-
kon Territory, must be given the credit
of making the first trip on a bicycle
from Skaguay to Dawson over the ice
fields. Mr.. Stephens is cashier of the
Alaska Commercial Company, and was
an enthusiastic cyclist until his resi-
dence in the gold country compelled
him to relinquish that pastime.
His first proposal to make the trip
was not taken seriously, but Mr..
Stephens notified his friends hat 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. Subsequently
he had reason to question the wisdom
of his choice because the thawing of
the ice and several snow-slides threat
ened to put a 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
it with heavy tandem rims and tires,
the latter being corrugated to prevent
slipping. He left Skaguay for Dawson
March Z, and of. course made very slow
progress over the Chilkoot Pass to
Lake Bennett. He was delayed 80
hours by snowslides al the start. He
left Lake Bennett at noon on March
10. and covered the entire distance to
Dawson in a trife more than seven
days, arriving at his destination with
out mishap either TO himself or his
machine.
Mr.. Stephens writes:
THE trail following the rivers and
lakes between Lake Bennett and Daw-
son in point of fact furnishes a very
practicable route for bicycle riding.
When you consider that l covered the
entire distance Of nearly four hundred
miles in seven days and seven hours,
you will realize that the trail was in
pretty good shape. On Lake Bennett
and the White Horse Cutoff some
thawing was going On and the surface
was not very good. From White Horse
to the foot of Lake Lebarge the riding
was excellent and made one stretch
of twenty miles in an hour and fifty
five minutes. The worst part OF the
travel was between Lake Lebarge and
Selkirk. In numerous cases water
stood on the trail to a depth of seven
inches. From Selkirk into Dawson the
trail was in excellent condition and |
made quick time. The last run of Y
miles was made in seven and one-half
hours. This is a record ride so far
as the use of the bicycle is concerned.
The distance between Bennett and
Dawson has been covered in less time.

his usually trusted eoachman is not al

TIMELY HINTS TO
GOLF
A FAMOUS PLAYER GIVES OUR
READERS GOOD AND USEFUL
ADVICE ABOUT THE GOLF
CLUB

Never has a sport introduced upon
American soil taken such a firm hold
upon the public as golf. Although it
can be traced back four or five hundred
years in Scotland it seems to be just as
popular as ever on its native heath.
The great fascination about the game
is in it's simplicity, yet the closer one
studies into the sport the more he real
ICES how little he actually knows about
the fine points of the game.
The general principles of golf, how
ever. are so simple that one is easily
led to believe that the game is by no
means difficult to learn, as it is only a
matter of driving a ball from n given
point and getting it into a hole at an
other given point in the fewest num-
Der of strokes.
Such is so only as far as the rudi-
ments of the game are concerned, but
there are many other things to be
taken into consideration. y person
DESTROYS of making any progress has
to learn how to drive the ball from the
tee and how to use each club until he
has holed out with his putter. The
first thing to be done is to select or to
have selected by an expert a suitable
set of first-class clubs.
ne beginner then, having got his
club picked out for him land, by the
way, see that they are lot too numer-
ous), should Immediately seek out
some good instructor and place him
self in his hands. Everything depends
upon a right start. and a few lessons
at the commencement will 40 much to
give the veriest novice a good basis
to go ahead with. Should the taking
of lessons not be within his reach for
various reasons, a few hints here might
not be amiss.
The first thing for the beginner to
think about when he gets upon the tee
ing ground and is about to make his
first attempt to hit the ball. is to see
that his club head is being properly
soled, i. e., see that the club lies fiat
upon the ground, and that the face of it
is lying at perfect right angles to the
direction in which the hole lays. When
he has got hat to his satisfaction then
let him see that the position of his
feet are in a perfectly parallel line to
that for which he is playing. His dis
tant relative to the ball should be his
next consideration.
Hardly two persons play alike in this
respect. Some play off the right foot,
while others play off the left; very
many play having the ball immediate
ly in the center of the feet, thus MAX
ing a perfect triangle, the toes of both
feet being the base. We think, how
ever, that the easiest and best way for
the beginner to connect with the ball
is to see that it is in line with the in
side of his left neel. always being care
full to see that the ball and his left heel
make a line at perfect right angles to
the proposed direction.
One reason for this is that in grasp
ing the club the left hand is on top,
thus necessarily making the left arm
exactly the width of the hand longer
than the RICH SO that in swinging the
head of the club must naturally reach
its furtherest point or bottom of the
arc in describing the circle when it

Virginia or of the United States. They
have acted within the limits of the law
and will not act otherwise. Can the
people who are opposed to them say as
much? Is it not a fact that although
the law plainly states that after a per-
son has been arrested and let to bail
and that no second arrest shall be made
for the same offense, they have each
Sunday deliberately and in open de-
fiance of the law, unlawfully and ma
liciously attempted to make a second
arrest? We ask the people of Wheel
ing, in all candor, who are the law
breakers? The managers of the Wheel
ing base ball club, who obey the law,
or those who are opposing them?
What is the offense that is charged
against the ball players? 1t is not for
desecrating the Sabbath day, because
we have not done that, and it is a fact
that almost, if not all, the players
have great veneration for the Sabbath.
In playing ball for charity we believe
we are simply doing what the law of
the State of West Virginia allows us to
do. The Divine Master when He was
on earth, said it was not unlawful to
do good on the Sabbath day. What is
the crime that is charged against us?
They say we are found laboring at
our trade or calling on the Sabbath
day." contrary to the provisions of Sec.
16 of Chap. 149 of the Code of West
Virginia. The same section says that
you are allowed to work in household
or other work Of necessity or charity.
We believe that law was passed, and
we have a number OF eminent authorI
ties to support it, to force a man who
had worked hard all week to take one
days rest in seven. That is all right.
But how shall he take that rest? his
is to be the best judge of that. The
people who work hard during the week
say that they find rest and enjoyment
in looking at a game of ball on the
only day they can afford to be present.
1t is no hardship on the players, u a
labor of love for them to play for about
two hours for charity.
Although our opponents have beer
vindictive and unjust in their attacks
upon us and nave requested the people
to boycott us and remain away from
the game, we desire to return good for
evil and endeavor to obey the COM
mand of the Divine Leader, upon whose
| religion some of them have brought
shame and r%eproach.
We ask our friends and the public IN
| general to attend the churches regu-
larly, morning and evening.
The Constitution of the United States
| and of this State says that religious
| freedom shall be allowed and every one
nermitted to serve God according TO the
dictates of his own conscience. The
immortal Shakespeare has said that
you can
Find tongues in trees, books in running
brooks,
thing"
Why not find the same qualities in a
game of ball, the purest and best sport
ever enjoyed on earth, especially SO
when the game is played for a worthy
cause?
Very respectfully,

shoulder. which is, OF course, the axis
of the swing. The result is, if this
stroke is properly carried out, a per-
fectly clean straight ball, as the bali is
hit just at the right time, not hit as the
club is descending to its lowest point,
nor hit as the club has begun to de-
scend again. 1t should be observed,
however, that the bouy must not be al
lowed to sway with the upward swing
OF the club, but kept in position as
much as possible, for if such should
happen it will result in the ground be-

horses are raised in Eastern States.
Horses of the Morgan strain. Weighing
not more than 1,I00 pounds. and stand

the opinion of many horsemen the best
for coaching. They must be Of ma

A beast with a short, thick neck Is
forever barred from the snort. His
character too closely resembles that Of
a short, thick-necked man. 1t is with
great difficulty that you can persuade
him that your way is better than his
and with his short, thick neck he is
able to withstand the persuasion of
the o accomplished whip. A long.
thin neck that offers a leverage is the
Q desirable. Horses with that
Characteristic are usually far better
