At CHARLES RIVER PARK.

AS an added attraction at the cycle
race meet to be held at Charles River
Park Tuesday evening, Albert Champion.
the great French chaffeur. will exhibit
for the first time on a cycle track his
motor bicycle. This machine. construct
ed for one man. is geared very high. and
provided with a 3A-horse power gaso-
line engine.
The motor bicycle is the wheel for the
masses in the future. and the interest
OF all wheelmen throughout the world
has been centred in its development. The
bicycle which Champion uses is the in
vention of Mr.. G. III. Metz of Waltham,
and the great factory in that city is to
be devoted almost exclusively to its man.
ufacture.
Provided the Charles River Park track
will stand for -, this machine will travel
at the rate of I'm. 20s. to the mile, and
inasmuch as Champion is a chaffeur of
the utmost daring IL is probable that
time made by the motor tandems will be
betlered.

ENGLISH CHAMPION COMING,

1t has been announcedthat J. III. Taylor
the champion golfer OF London. is coming
to this country, and interest in this ex-
-tremely popular game is receiving a great
revival
1t is probably now generally known that
Taylor met Vardon in London at the time
OF the lalIers visit to the old country,
and defeated him for the championship
of the world after a series of extremely
interesting matches.
Previous to this defeat Vardon was a
great drawing card. but IL is a noticeable
fact that since his return to this country
the same interest nas not been manifest
ed I'm his playing.
One premier difficulty with the vardon
matches was that no suitable opponents
could be found TO play against the expert.
and therefore he played many three-ball
matches, which are far from the regular
match game.
1t is said that Taylor comes to this
country TO introduce particular kind of
new golf ball, but be that as IL may. the
fact remains that he Is champion of the
world, and won the title from Vardon.
who is acknowledged to be the second
best in the world
Taylor will probably return home In the
fall.

FIASCO AT HILLSGROVE.
The Referee.

Jimmie Michael. the bicycle rider. was
declared defeated by the referee i'm his
match with Ben Monroe OF Memphis at
Hillsgrove yesterday afternoon.
The trouble grew out of the terms OF
the contest for the race. by which Mi
chael's manager. j. c. Kennedy. con-
trolled everything.
The local track could get Michael here
only by agreeing TO Michael's require
ments for pace. and when the referee
called Monroe off the track and awarded
him the race, the big crowd. which had
paid double admission price TO see Mi
chael, was furious. and would have made
matters interesting for Kennedy, whom
they considered. as did the referee. re-
sponsibie for the fake exhibition, could
he have been reached.
The race was Is miles. motor paced, and
Michael used a new motor. with 3iz horse
power and a fancy set OF water coolers.
which were nothing more than wind
shields, so constructed as to evade the
rules.
Quite a number OF experts were present
