Russia has decided that it wants the
American bicycle, having tired of the
more clumsy English and German ar
ticle. Such are the comforting reports
received by the manager Of the Amer
lean Bicycle company, which does
much of the exporting of American
machines. Russia finds more popular
use for the machine at a moderate
price than it has found heretofore. and
the many Ameriean-made machines
that travellers about Europe have seer
have convinced them of the superiority
OF u machines over those of Euro
pean make. So there is an unusual de-
mand this year, a fact which pleases
the American maker who finds the de-
mand here falling off as compared with
that which existed when all America
was bicycle mad. ~t.r.i-,

Cresceus in Great Demand.

The remarkable performance of Cres-
ceus. at Brighton Beach. Thursday, when
he not only defeated The Abbott. but
lowered the worlds record for mile
trot in a race, is of course attracting at
tention everywhere. Cresceus is now
regarded as nothing short of marvel
and it is predicted for the trotting King
that he will do even better in the future
than the record he now holds. George
II. Ketcham, the owner Of the famous
stallion, says there is more in the horse
than has been brought out and he de-
clares that before he retires Crescens.
which will be at the end of the present
racing season, the horse will have a
record nearer two minutes. Ketcham
has had several offers from various cities
to send Cresceus against his record and
though he will of course accept some.
he could never begin to fill all. Rich
mond, Ind, is hot after the trotting King
and will make an effort to bring the
worlds champion there for the race meet
in September to SO against his record
for a mile nj an exhibition trot. Rich
mond has one of the fastest tracks in
the country and was formerly in the
grand circuit. 1t is probable that Ket-
cham will accept the Richmond offer.

DRIFTED ACROSS THE FINISH
Constitution an Easy Winner Over
Columbia in Race in Light
Wind. =
(By Associated Press


Larchmont Yacht Club, New York.
Aug. 1.-THE Constitution drifted across
the finish line late yesterday evening n
winner over Columbia by 81 minutesssand
% seconds. This difference in time, how
ever does not represent the difference in
speed between the two yachts, for very
large part of the big margin was entirely
due to fluke in the light airs. a bree&e
from a small thunderstorm carrying the
Constitution out into the sound. where
the wind was good. while the Columbia
was practically becalmed.
That settled the race, for thereafter
the Columbia was out of it. On every
leg the new boat gained, and maintained
reputation as wonderfully fast yacht
in soft airs. But the Columbia. with her
perfect sails, was also going fast. and in
the first Is miles the new boat only nnaHae
up 20 seconds over her time allowance.
The most noteworthy spectator Of the
race was Captain Sycamore of Shamrock
II. 1t was his first view of the American
boats, and he got a very valuable line
on the light weather qualities of his
rival.
The race was held under the auspices
Of the Larchmont Yacht club.

Good on His Declaration That

Now that Jeffries and Rubin are prac-

what Billy Madden, manager of the

ability of meeting of the big fellows,
for the worlds heavyweight champion
ship. When in Portland Madden, in an
interview, declared that Jeffries would
have to meet Rubin when the latter
reached Frisco and that there would
be no more fooling about the matter.
He said the possibility Of a match be-
tween Jeffries and either Sharkey, or
Fitzsimmons, was as vague as it could
be and was all lot of nonsense, par
ticularly as far as the Sailor" was con-
cerned. He referred to Sharkey as q
dub" and said if he wanted a fight he
could get it with Ruhlin's sparring part
ner, Denver Ed Martin. He added
that he would match the colored fighter
against the Sailor for 81. 900 a side and
would agree to have the match come off
when Jeffries and Rubin met.

Wade May Prove a Surprise.

AS the time for the Wade-Oglesby
boxing match, for points and exercise,
approaches the interest in the contest
increases, until now it is the all-absorb-
ing topic of conversation among the
sporting fraternity. Opinion is divided
as to the probable winner and while
Oglesby has slightly the best of the fol-
lowing, Wade is not lacking in admirers
who are willing to wager their dollars
on his chances of winning the light
weight championship of Montana and the
$3.50 cup. The match is expected to be
the greatest of its kind seen in Butte
for years and, judging from the pres
ent rate at which members of the Butte
Athletic club are settling up their dues,
the demand for seats will be record
breaker
Reports from Wolf Creek. where Ogles-
by is training, are to the effect that the
Helena boy was never more fit in his
life. He has taken excellent care of
himself, and those who have seen him
recently declare that it will take bet
ter man than Wade to conquer him.
On the other hand the friends of Wade
are equally as confident that the Salt
Lake lad will dispose of his opponent.
Wade is certainly fit, if ever a man was,
and he is as confident as one could pos
sibly be. He has trained faithfully and
should certainly give good account of
himself.
Present conditions would indicate that
the match is an even-money bet. The
wise ones" who claim Oglesby will
