Those who organized the association claim
everything in sight. while the National League men
seem to be little bit frightened but say that they
will fight for their rights. and believe that the
organization will have hard to hoe.
According to the owners OF the Brooklyn and Bal
timore clubs. the alleged taking away of the Balt-
more Club grounds and the desertion of the Orole
players cannot happen They say that the Balti-
players be held by the clause in their
contract that gives the club the right to reserve
the players for another year The club owners
say that they can also hold their grounds In Bal

that city with the owners of the grounds. The
latter are reported to have given lease to the op-

then the National League circuit will be made up
of eight clubs. II the proposed new organization
amounts TO nothing then the League will begin the

The teacher Is David A. SwicR who is said to
live at No 125 East Ninetieth-st. He was or
dered TO take the place of the regular teacher last

The teacher was about to let Nigiutsch CO. when

Rocks being the decline of popularity, although
they have by no means disappeared from the ex-
hbition.
There to be many varieties of bantams on
exhibition. and they will make especially brave

the breeding and improving of these birds being
another fashion of the moment. OF ducks also
there will be good show, including some novelty.
The arrangements such that IT is believed these
water fowl will be exhibited to better advantage
than ever before. The turkeys will be in good num-
berg and some fine birds wf be shown. There
will also be especially beautiful display of
pheasants. A display of dressed poultry will be a
feature of the exhibition, and 1t viii be changed
from day to day. The display of incuhators Is
larger than before, and there is scarcely room
for them in the restaurant. where they will be
placed, usual.
There seems to be no obvious reason why cats
and rabbits should be regarded as poultry, but they
will be included in the exhibition, usual. They
is the regular departments of the exhibition
Guinea pigs also included this year in larger
numbers than ever before, being another of the
fashions. and this year, for some reason or other,
they are called "caves" In what way this title is
supposed to be an improvement on Guinea pigs"
is not known.
There are indications that the present exhibition
will be a notable in the direction of sales.
Agents already hand for many buyers, and
there is a special demand for various breeds of
fowls to be sent to Cuba and Puerto Rico.

CYCLING.
COLONEL POPE Talks OF THE SHOW. GOOD
ROADS AND RACING.


Colonel Albert A. Pope, the pioneer bicycle maker
arrived in the city yesterday. The Colonel was
seen at the office of the American Bicycle Com
pany When asked his opinion Of the recent show
the Colonel remarked that he was delighted with
its success. He continued:
The show certainly had a good effect in more
ways than one The attendance clearly demon
strates that cycling is popular as ever, and that
the public Is interested in bicycles and their con-
struction. My representatives inform me that the
people were of intelligent class. They seemed
structon; and. furthermore. the number OF dealers
that closed orders surprisingly large AS far
as the racing game is concerned I believe in en-
couraging sports of all kinds. l think the main
tenance of racing teams-the fastest men we can
get-Wil help the clubs and the riders and also the
dealers throughout the country. You know we are
the pioneers in that direction, and were the first
business. and I have always believed It was a
good Investment. For instance, take McDuff1e s
trial on the chainess. Many people believed that
the chainless not a fast wheel. McDutne s
rides demonstrated that it was a fast wheel Look
al the records he made. This proved that the
chainleSs fast a wheel as the chaln ror GER
tain kinds of racing.
I am glad indeed to see that the League of
American Wheelmen is working earnestly for good
roads To my way of thinking the subject of good
roads has been thoroughly canvassed. l be-
Neye and have believed for years that there should
he a National commission good roads. There
should be Government commission. In fact good
roads are just important agriculture. There
is no reason why there should not be a secretary
OF good roads as we'll a Secretary of Agri-
culture I think one is as important as the other,
and if we keep agitating 1t is sure TO come.

ILLINOIS ANTITRUST ACT T0ID.
DECISION By JUDGE KoHLsAAT THAT IT CONTAINS
BOTH CLASS AND SPECIAL LEGIsLA-
TON WHICH vITIATE IT.

Chicago. Jan. 2s-Judge C. C. Kohlsaat, IN the
United States Circuit Court, to-day decided the
Antitrust act of the Illinois Legislature or 1888
void on the ground that the statute contains both
class and special legislation and is In contraven-
ton of the Federal and State Constitutions. The
opinion Of the Court bears more directly on the
ninth clause of the of 1ss3 but the validity OF
the whole aceis also denied.
The ruling was made in the of the Union
Sewer Pipe Company against Thomas Connolly
but applied as we'll to the case the same plain
tiff against William Dee, the two cases having
been tried conjointly. The Court took the case
from the jury and gave instructions that the find
ing be IN favor of the plaintiff.
The Union Sewer Pipe Company brought suit
to recover on promissory notes given by the de-
PENDANTS. who contended that the plaintiff was
trust or combination, organized for the express
purpose of creating and carrying out restrictions
in trade Referring to the Illinois statute, which
went into effect July l, 1885, the Court says:
The said act of July l. 1888. provides in Section
agricultural products live stock in the hands
of the producer or raiser" I of the opinion
that this statute contains both class and special
State and Federal Constitutions, and therefore
void It is urged that granting the m Ted
void without affecting the validity Of the remain
ing clauses of said act If this were so. then by
declaring said clause void the courts would make
the binding those classes of persons which
the Legislature had specially exempted from its
the most fragrant character. In my opinion. the
said Clause taints the whole act. and renders II
all void. Therefore the special defence must be
stricken out.
The matter probably will be taken to the United
States Supreme Court Opinions differ widely as
to whether Judge Kohlsaats decision leaves the
lawyers that the act of 1893 did not supersede
of 1891 and that the latter statute is still in force
Judge Kohlsaat did not touch on the point in his
decision.
