Proposed Sailing Race.
| Plans are on foot among the members Of
| the Mechanics Boat Club for race of
sailboats about the last Sunday in this
month. Several weeks ago 1t was proposed
to have a race in which all the boats in
| the harbor would enter. For some reason
| this plan fell through, but a general tnVi-
tation will be given to all the boat owners
! in the harbor and 1t is believed many of
| them will accept. Mr.. Edw. Whyte is
| building a deadrise twenty feet long. which
| will be completed in time for the contest,
| and which is expected to be very fast.
| Much interest Is being taken In the pro-
| posed race by the members OF the Me-
chanics' Club. and the contest VIII De
| most Interesting one. A large silk club en-
| sign will be the prize for the winning boat.
and other prizes will also be offered

The punching bag in the trainers quar-

Most of the cycle racing men have part
| ners during the season with whom ex-
penses and winnings are divided. The most
| successful pair to date comprises Floyd
| Mcfarland Of the Tribune team and Tom
Monarch Cooper. The former ESSAYS to
| ride the middle-distance races, while Coop
er endeavors to capture the money in the
| sprints. During the week when Mcfarland
| defeated Ross at Newark the pair won
| 81. $50.
! With the racing season only nicely under
| way three riders stand out prominently in
| their respective classes. There are Harry
| Elkes in middle distance. Frank Kramer in
! professional sprints and Marcus Hurley in
! amateur sprints. Just how Major Tay-
/ lor stands with Kramer Is problematical
| and the first meeting between the two will
j be awaited with unusual interest.
| Pop Elkes, on behalf of his son. Harry,
! has issued rather a novel challenge which,
| II accepted, should result in an interesting
| series of races between the middle distance
| champion of the world and Major Tay-
| lor. Mr.. Elkes Is willing to match his son
| against the colored wonder for a match at
| each style of riding. viz, sprint. pursuit
| and paced. The sprint event would be at
| a half or one mile, to be followed by a pur-
| suit race, and then twenty-five mile con-
| test behind the flying motor tandems
