of the American Church, in Berlin Germany who
is present in this city, that sufficient money will
be subscribed to build a church in Berlin which
will meet the neds Of the American colony there

there without building of its own. Sufficient
funds have already been raised for the purchase of
a lot on which 70 build the church. This lot is on
Nollendorf Platz. The contract for the building has
already been prepared, but $4,000 is lacking to
complete It without debt. Among those who have
helped the church with gifts are Senator Depew.

DOESN'T KILL RAMAPO CHARTER
CITY CLUB COMMITTEE SAYS THE SLATER
MORGAN BILL IS DEFECTIVE

MORGAN BILL is DEFECTIVE.
The Legislative Committee OF the City Club
has made what the members Of the committee
think is an important discovery in connection
with the status OF the Ramapo Water Company
in the State Legislature. They assert that the
Slater-Morgan bill in the Legislature does not
repeal the charter OF the Ramapo company,
was supposed. but simply repeals certain special
privilege clauses OF the charter granted In 1895,
At the meeting of the Legislative Committee of
the City Club tonight the alleged defect in the
Slater Morgan bill will be discussed. and II IS
probable that the attention Of the Merchants
Association will brought to it. The latter, IL is
said, has spent $4,000 in fighting for the repeal
of the Ramapo charter, and the charter in its
essential particulars will remain in force, the
City Club people say, unless there amend
ments to the Slater-Morgan bill.
The meeting OF the Council OF the City Club
last night was for the purpose OF arranging
programme for the regular meeting Of the club
week from tonight.

TO CHANGE RACING RULES.
NEW IDEAS TO BE INTRODUCED GOVERNING
SPRINT AND MOTOR PACED RACING.

At the annual meeting OF the National Cycling
Association. to be held in this city next Tuesday,
some important changes in the racing rules will
be submitted for adoption The introduction of
motor pacing has made change in the riding
of paced middle distance racers, and the old rules
drawn up for use when the pacing machines were
driven by muscle alone will not fit the new condi-
tions. Elkes McDufTee and Michael have made
suggestions to the association. and the chances
that several amendments will be made.
These riders who looked upon as being the
best pace followers in the country, say that the
rear man on the machine should be compelled to
pedal right through the race When he sits per-
fecty STILL his sole idea being TO shelter the pace
follower from the wind, the general public IS ike
ly 10 belttle the real work being done by the
pace follower. These men say that under the pro-
posed change a good rider will be able TO prove
what he is made of. and that a second rate man
will appear at his true worth.
Several changes also contemplated in the
rules governing sprint races for the National cham
ponshp. Ii is the effort of the association and of
the better class of riders to do away with team
work in these races as far as possible If the new
rule is adopted there will be only two men left in
the final for all championship sprints. Four men
to start in each heat, two 10 qualify This plan
will be followed by using semi-finais until only
two men are left. This will do away with team
work certainly in the final and the best men
ought to win every time.
