New York, Nov. 3.-The only bicycle
record to Withstand all assaults this
year is the one mile, made by Major Tay-
lor at Washington park October Is, 1899.
Last week the time on all miles from the
second to the fourteenth was smashed
and the hour record placed at 40 miles
$50 yards. The records were all estab-
hshed at Brockton, Mass.
During the last "A years nothing in the
line of sports or physical effort has de-
Veloped more rapidly than that of BIZ
cycle riding, and the men who were IA
nous in that line a few years ago must
open their eyes at the tremendous speed
attained by the young men who are at
the front in that branch of sport today.
In 1876 f l.. DOddH at Cam br1dge, Eng
land, rode against time on a bicycle,
making Is miles and 1 ,430 yards during
one hours riding. This was considered
a wonderful feat at that time when the
few men who were riding bicycles We're
mounted on the Old-style ordinary ma
chimes But great as Dodds' perform
ance was, it did not remain a record very
long, as before the expiration of the
same year John Keen succeeded in roll
ing up IS miles and 4S7 yards within the
hour at Lille Bridge, England
keen'a record stood for nearly three
years, as it was not till June, 1879. that
c. H. F. Christie sent the figures of the
hour ride up to IS miles and 1880 yards
at Oxford, England. Just how long the
record might have remained there is IN
wrinkle was added to the sport by the
introduction of pace-making, which, of
course, added incentive to the task, and
with its aid H. L. Cortis made a record
Of 10 miles and APO yards at Stamford
Bridge, England. The record was an
English possession until the year 1855,
when w. A. Rowe at Springfield, Mass
brought the honor to America by max
ing record of 20 miles and 1,012 yards
Three years the glory of the hour time
remained in this country and then an
other wrinkle was inaugurated by the
introduction of the safety bicycle as d
factor in wheeling competition. In 1883
Stillman G. Whitaker, at Bordeaux
France, made a tally of q miles and 126
yards in the so minutes
From that time the record has been
increased gradually, the honor of hold
ing it alternating between France and
England. Perfection of the bicycle de-
crease in weight and increased ability
IN the pace-making were the principal
factors in doing the work.
In 1898 Edouard Taylore French
rider, accomplished the remarkable task
Of riding 80 miles and 936 yards in the
city of Philadelphia. Taylore had the
aid OF pacemakers mounted on big ma
chines-quads, quintets and sextets-
and was furthermore benefited by a
wooden track built on the most scieuS
tif1c principles.

a few days ago in the Board of Trade
gymnasium while boxing with Tommy
Ryan. Ills manager, Tom Hanton, went
out to see the fighter Tuesday afternoon
to have him appear at Tattersall's dur
ing the evening, if possible, but the doc
tor forbade Santry leaving his bed, pre-
scribing absolute quiet for the boy for
at least two weeks in order that the
wrench and break may have time to
heal. Santry is much discouraged at his
misfortune. He had every hope Of TAX

Broad Tuesday night and was preparing
to make a number of other matches
one Of his prospective opponents being
Tommy Sullivan, the Brooklyn fighter.
It was stated yesterday by one, who
said he knew that the injury to Santry
was caused by a Touchdown, Santry
dropping on his right knee and cracking
the bone. Others who saw the affair
denied this, and say the injury was
caused by a sudden sidestep which
brought about the fall to the floor.

SAYS IT'S A FAILURE.
Bryan's Estimation of the Re-
publican Campaign.

Chicago, Nov. civilian ]. Bryan
has given out the following statement in
the form of an interview:
1.-THE Republican campaign has been
a failure. The full dinner pail argument
has been repudiated by the worklngmen,
and the Republicans are compelled to
confess that a large proportion or the H.
Dor vote will be cast for the Democratic
ticket Besides believing with the DEM
ocrats in the general doctrines OF equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none, the laboring men are against the
trusts, the large army and the colonial
policy. The labOring men are also drawn
to the Democratic party by the fact that
our party is opposed to government by
injunction, to the blacklist and to Chi
nese immigration and in favor of arbl-
tration and of a cabinet officer selected
to represent the wage earners.
1.-THE Republicans are now hoping to
hold their strength among the farmers,
but they have no policy which will bene-
fit the farmer. The man who makes his
living on the farm is the victim Of all
the vicious legislation for which the Re
publican party is responsible, and re-
ceives none of the benefits conferred by
special legislation upon corporations and
syndicates. The farmer pays more than
his share of the taxes and receives less
than his share of the consideration of
government Republican policies have
lessened the value of farm lands, in
creased the proportion of tenants and
from the farm, thus intensifying the
struggle for existence IN the cites. The
farmers are almost unanimously oppos-
ed to the trusts and they can have no
sympathy with the imperialistic policy
of the Republican party with its attend
ant increase in the military establish
ment I believe that the election viii
show that we have gained among the
farmers as well as in the cities.
1.-THE small business men and the pro-
fessional men are also feeling the effect
of the industrial despotism which has
grown up with this administration.
1.-THE poor are coming to the Demo-
cratic party because they want chance
in the race for life and many of the well
to do are coming because they realize
that the Democratic party affords better
protection to honest wealth than the
Republican party.
The Republican party is under the
control of those who seek advantage
through governmental favoritism and
grow rich by the exploitation of citizens
at home and subjects abroad. 1t is a
fight between Democracy on the one side
and plutocracy on the other and Democ-
racy appeals to the judgment and to the
conscience of those who are willing to
let live as well as to live

respectively. They are 40 feet in length
and have a capacity of $4,000 pounds.
They have a bulky look alongside of
some of the compact trim looking freight
cars that wear wooden coats
A railroad man who has an intimate
acquaintance with car construction,
said:
THE first cost of steel cars is greater
than the ordinary wooden cars Advan-
tage will be found in the life of the car,
sts durability in cases of wreck and con-
Eequently a lessening should show in the
cost of operation. Some claim that the
extra cost is annulled by the economy of
the first years running. That the steel
abOxcars will prove q success, I am not
so certain. I think ballast cars and coal
cars have proved their efficiency and
