GREAT BICYCLE CIRCUIT.
Twenty-Five Cities Among Which Is
 Waterbury Will Promote Racing.

Twenty-Five Cities Among Which Is
 Waterbury Will Promote Racing.
 Twenty-Five cycle tracks may form booked for the entire list of tracks, will be able to race steadily for twenty-five days and will have to travel far less than an average of 100 miles to make each meet. Toledo, Cleveland. Pittsburg, 5BuHnlo, Eoches- ter. Syracuse, Utica, Albany, Spring field, Worcester, Charles River, Wal tham, Brockton. New Bedford, Lowell, Providence, Hartford, New Haven, Waterbury, New York, Newark, Phil adelphia, Atlantic City, Baltimore and Washington are named to form a cir cult, the like of which has never been known. While it may not be said to be certain that each and every one is more than probable that a majority of them will be and probably many more will be added from time to time The board of control does not reveal it's business, but the applications for franchises are coming from every sec tion of the country and particularly from the country east of Toledo. Syn dicates are being formed to build and operate a number of tracks in a cir cult. There are two OF three of these syndicates. They are formed of busi- ness men engaged in the promotion of sporting or other amusement en- terpriSeS.
 The new tracks, with few eXcep- tions. will be of the coliseum pattern. One at least will be very pretertious and will be velodrome. Some of the old time tracks, now too slow for modern racing, will be raised by the addition of new surface and others of the old time tracks will go on with the present bankings. The new six lap tracks will be constructed at great pains, being wide and with bank nig raised to an angle making possible a speed of 1:1O to the mile for the motors. Promoters have made con- tracts already with bonus stipulated for the builder, providing he con structs track upon which l 20 or bet ter may be ridden by pace follower. The general trend of opinion favors paced racing. owing to the great sue cess of this class of sport last season. and the tracks will be constructed on upon lines especially befitting paced sport-that is with wide bankings and short-banked stretches. Night racing and Sunday racing will be promoted and but few days meets will be known. Doubtless there will be some comment of a derogatory nature as re- gards the above rosy outlook, but the facts briefly stated below will perhaps convince the skeptical that there is truth in the assertion that the grand est season of cycle racing ever known is in sight.

SLOAN IS CONFIDENT.

Richmond, Ind, Feb 4.-Jockey Tod Sloan, who is in California, has writ ten a letter to his parents stating that he will return to England early in March, but will spend week in his old home before sailing. He has en- gagged passage from New York to Liverpool. The sudden death of Queen Victoria and the accession Of his friend and patron, the Prince of Wales, to the throne may mean much to him. Sloan is almost certain that nothing of an improper nature can be proven against hiyn in his conduct on
 the race course or paddock. He was somewhat broken in health ons,his re- turn from England in December. but by rouGhing it In the west che has Fug8A1 ss ever.

The local boys were never in 1t after the first few minutes and the vis- itors scored as they pleased. The vis- itors' play was characterized with vim and dash which continually kept the local boys on the alert. At all times. however, the local boys made the visitors hustle and the game was more interesting than the score indi- cates.

Looks Like Another Murder.

The Coroner received telegram
Tuesday evening calling him to Carlisle
to investigate tlie death If colored
woman named Naucy Williams who
lived on Mr.. j. Epps fuckers place
some miles from Carlisle. Nancy Will
lians was an old negro woman possibly
IS years old. There had been s"me
trouble during tho year between her and
one Anna Epps and it 10 reported thst
threats had been made by Anna against
Nancy s+verai times during the year.
The Occas:On of the trouble it seems WAS
Nancy's objection to her grandson, Ed
Thomas, infxtuatiOn for Anua. On
Sunday evening Nancy was sitting by
the fire in Bunwell Jones' house when
got up TO 60 out Of the house. Anna
was standing in the door Anna caught
hold of her and showed her. Nancy fell
and struck her head against table. The
old woman lived until about 10 O'Clock
when she died.
The doptor'a opinion was that Nancy
Williams came to her death from con-
tussiOn Of her head causing conclusion
Of the brain. The Coroner's jury rem
dered y verdict in accordance with the
above and charged Anna Epps with the
killing.
The Coroner returned Tuesday night
leaving the prisoner, Anna Epps, In
charge Of Constablea VIM. H. Gist to be
brought % Union Wednesday. She was
brought to Union and is in Jail to await
the next term of court. This will make
