TALK OVER ULLMAN-
WELLER SUSPENSION
AMONG THE CYCLE RACERS.

NOW that the cycle racing season is
drawing to close, It is generally ac-
knowiedsed that "Bobbie" walthour, OF
Atlanta, Ca. is the undisputed middle
distance champion of America. In race
after race against the best men Of
America the star man of the Columbia
cycling team has proved himself to be
the fastest man following the puttering
motor tandems. Moreover, walthour
has placed to his credit almost every
record of importance from one to twen-
ty-fve miles. his time for the last
named distance being 34:61 2-5. These
figures were supplied on July 81, at
Charles River Park.
The blond lad from the South has de-
feated the other stars Of cycle racing
not once. but repeatedly. In his last
five races against Harry Elkes, Wnl-
thour was five times winner. He also
beat Albert Champion. who was de-
feated four successive times by Elkes.
Since he received his new.pacing outfit,
six weeks ago, Walthour has the en-
viable record of not having suffered de-
feat. This Is an honor that is not like
ly to be attained by any other rider.
Apart from holding the twenty-five mile
record, Walthour is credited with the
fastest time for twenty miles, 27:18.
made in the race at Charles River Park.
on July 81.
Robert Mack, the champion backward
bicycle rider of the world, is matched
to meet John C. Green. of Brooklyn, in
a backward race for five and one-half
miles on the Coney Island cycle path. on
Sunday morning, September IA. The
race will start from the Parkway end
and finish at Coney Island.
Harry Elkes, the elongated pace fol-
lower from Glens Falls, N. Y. who is
second only to Walthour in the perilous
game of following the motor tandems,
has sailed for Europe, where he will ap-
pear against the best foreign cracks.
Elkes was anxious to take another trip
to Paris in order to show the Frenchmen
that he can travel much faster than he
did when over there in the spring. al
though even at that time he scored over
some of Europe's best.
Elkes took with him trainer and an
expert pacemaker. Before leaving he Sc
cured three American wheels. built es-
pecially for work behind the puttering
motors. He will ride as a member Of
the Cleveland cycling team and 'sill re-
main abroad until the end of the racing
season, about November 1.
After a successful season on the
tracks Of America, "Plugger Bill" Mar
tin and Frank Beauchamp. Of the Tri-
bune cycling team, Will return to Aus
tralia for the racing season, which starts
in the far away island early In Novem-
ber. Although somewhat of disappoint-
ment in his early races, the former
resident of Lowell, Mass. who now looks
upon Australia as his home, did some
sensational work on the n. C. A. grand
circuit during the month OF August. !
Beauchamp, the Australian. scored
number of notable victories, including |
a remarkable one at Providence when he |
jumped the field and gained lap in

HE DIsLlkED GEORGE ELIOT.
Autocratic Ways Of Famous Authoress
Made an Enemv

When George Eliot was still Miss
Evans, and before she had begun to
write novels, she used to frequent an
old book shop on the Strand, where
she left a very unfavorable impression
on one young man who was at that
time an assistant in John Chapmanss
shop. His description of her is that
of a remarkably ugly young woman
OF universal knowledge, whose delight
1t was to use the Socratic method in
conversation, but without the Socratic
benevoleEco of intention. The result
was that the young nen at the dining
table (the shop had boarding house
for its employees and guests) who
heedlessly haZarded an opinion, were
very soon made to feel not only that
they knew nothing of the subject un-
der discussion, but that they knew
very little indeed of anything. Now,
a young man does not relish being
badgered and made a fool of by a
pretty woman, but it is irtolerable to
be sat upon by an ugly one-at least
such was the feeling of our informant
and one consequence of this treat
Ment was that in after years, when
Miss Evans had become George Eliot
one man could never persuade him

HOW TO DRAW A CORK.
It Can Ee Done With Common Piece
Of SealinC-Wax.


If you want to anuse friends at a
picnic, or have left the corkscTew at
home, as usually happens, tell them
that you can draw a cork ont of any
bottle without corkscrew OF course
they will laugh, but very soon il will
be your turn to smile.
Take a piece Of sealing-v AK and
hold one end of 1T over lighted
match until it betomes soft: then let
some drops of the wax fail on the
cork in the bottle. AS socn as the
cork is covered with wax you must
press the piece w.ich you hold IL your
hand against the cork, and you must
hold it there til the wax is quite
dry. Then it will he cas- for you to
draw out tie cork by usils the stick
of wax which ad. eres to it, in the
same manner as you would use a
screw.
No matter how firmly GAea the cork
may be, il Will :,faCst Immediately
yield to the pressure You must,
however, take care lot tC wrench the
stick of wax away from Il while you
are drawing it out. and !. j must also
see tnat the cork Is per. octly dry be-
fore you put aly wan on it.
