The Automobiles Mission.

The automobile, of course, viii finish
the work the bicycle in this country
began for the Improvement of the
roads. With the automobile here in
quantity the traffic of the streets Will
become far more cOngested than nj
present. The horse will be eliminated,
to be sure, but his place will be more
than taken by the increase in the mum
Der of machines If once the price is
brought down TO "a reasonable hgure
and the department stores begin offer
ing bargains in them. From this Will
arise the necessity of more stringent
street regulations for the horse has an
amount of intelligence in threading
his way through crowded streets, in
avoiding obstacles and in slowing
down to avoid disaster that we shall
only appreciate when he Is gone. The
present helter-skelter way of traver-
sing the streets will have to change to
one more orderly. And one advantage
of the change will be the possibility Of
preserving regularity in speed. I'M
possible now when all heavy trucking
has to go at the slow walk of horse,
while passengers are not content TO go
at less than nearly twice rs fast. with
automobiles in use for everything, 1t
will be possible to move steadily along
mt four or five miles IN hour. The
street cars in the congested portions,
instead of changing their way through
the crowd, will move along about as
fast as the trucks. and II tremendous
amount of complication will he saved.

A writer from Mafeking, South
Africa, tells of curious mound of
white sand near that place. This hill
is about 700 feet high, and it's shape is
constantly changing. as the sand shifts
and rolls. The perpetual movement of
the sand mound has been going on
since time immemorial and the move
ment OF the rolling or sliding particles
makes n sound monotonous and almost
musical. The white hill and its sur
rounding smaller hillocks glitter and
flash like mirrors as the silyery grains
slide down the sandy slopes, making
their tuneful humming as they move.

4 STATEMENT BY EBBE9S
Brooklyn Clubs President Denies
the Rumor of a Transfer.
Snys Champions VIII Not De Brought
to Washington Satisfied with
Present Recommendations Not
Large. But All Tint Could BE Ex-
pected Under the circumstances.

NEW YORK, June 23.-To set at rest
once and for all the persistent rumors to
the effect that the Brooklyn club will be
transferred to Washington after the next
Western trip. President Ebbets gave out
statement today, in which he said
II have read with surprise the state
ment emanating from President N E.
Young that the transfer of the Brooklyns
to Washington will be made. and / have
written to him to say that if he has been
quoted correctly, he has done the Brook
lyn club much harm. There is absolutely
no truth in the rumor 1t has been put
into circulation by persons who are jeal-
Gus of the Brooklyn clubs success.
President Young is quoted as saying
that our daily attendance at home. exclu-
sive of holidays and openings, averages
1000 paid admissions. AS matter Of fact.
1t can be shown by the clubs books and
the slips given to visiting managers that
our attendance under these circumstances
averages 5000, and counting in holidays
and openings, it foots up to 1000. We do
not wish to appear to be complaining about
the patronage of Brooklyn people, for they
have stood by us loyalty for years when
We were in trouble.
Under present conditions in Greater
New York baseball is not popular and the
crowds are not what they should be. But
the Brooklyn club is doing we'll enough,
and will compare favorably with others In
the way Of profits at the end of the season.
I'VE are told If the Brooklyns were
transferred to Washington the crowds
there could be double what they are at
home. This is an absurd statement. for no
city in the present League Is drawing dou-
BILE the attendance here. Why. If baseball
was on the proper basis in this city the
New Brooklyn series alone would
draw more money than a whole season in
Washington.
The Brooklyn club has stood by the
League. and in the possession of cham
pion team it has kept alive what interest
there is in the national game here / BE-
lieve the League would be weakened il 1t
had but one club in Greater New York. for
there would not be that rivalry between
the local clubs that has helped to keep the
interest I'D"

for some weeks works away for dear life,
designing and painting new wagon scenes.
Among the show people he does not go I'M
der his own name. and he does not reveal
at his home the business which takes him
away every winter. In this line OF work
he has made all chimes his own. and will as

For the envy of those orthodox painters
who confine themselves within the con-
stricted lines of regulation art it may be
said that he averages about $40 a day while
working for the circus. To do this he has

cYcL1sT LADUE's PLUCK.
Wears Ont Nine Men in nm Unlimited
Pursuit Race.

NEW YORK, June 23.-An exhibition
of pluck and good riding such as was
never seen before on a bicycle racetrack.
at least, by anybody in this section of
the country. was made this afternoon at
Manhattan Beach by w. A. Ladue, of Cold
Spring. n. Y. In an unlimited pursuit
race between the three-mel teams of four
clubs, Ladue wore down nine Of the
twelve men on the track. He rode alone
for more than seventeen miles against
the remnants Of the other teams and final
ly against the last two mates Of the Kings
County Wheelmen, who were of course
taking turns pacing.
He was in the lead from the start and
was gaining on the last two riders when
the strain began to tell. For three laps
he lost slightly and then after having
ridden a total OF twenty-five miles and
one lap he toppled from his wheel and
rolled helpless on the track. Ladue was
revived and saved from anything more
serious than the temporary collapse. The
race was one Of the Kings County Wheel
mems nineteenth annual meet and there
was an attendance of about three thou
sand. There were three features on the
card, the inter-club team pursuit race,
