Dining CuNtnnls

X student of social customs has called attention recently to the fact that man eats to-day practically the same viands he did in ancient times However far back we push our re- searches, the foundations of all dishes are the same-the same birds, the same meats, the same fish though, perhaps, the list of the an cientS fish k somewhat more eXtcn- sive. Modern man has forgotten the flavor of the porpoise or dogfish, and in the north, at all events, has learned to shudder at the sugges- ton of dish of octopus. The meats, the courses, the principals, and in some cases even the names remain the same. In spite of MeNandre Du- mas assertion that napkins were first used in the thirteenth and four teenth centuries. they must have been of much more ancient origin, since the Roman cuisine necessitated their use much earlier; Giles Rose, master cook to Charles H., gave methods for folding them in va riety of ways, but the general adoD- ton of forks among the middle classes did away with the seryiette to a great extent. At dessert, when the cloth was removed, a h.;wl of water was presented to each guest, and this stood on plate covered with square cloth, our present doy- ly.-Chicago News.

the cycle squad. The chief motive for the
meeting, aside from the election, was to
take action upon the clubs position regard
ing the Coliseum during the season. Sew
eral speeches were made by the enthusiast
tic members, with the result that the club
declared emplhatically for entering it's best
riders in all amateur events during the rae
ing season. And as there is a considerable
number of fast riders in the ranks, it is safe
to say that the clubs colors will be found

Cycle Gossip.
So appreciate has been the Improvement
in the riding of Joe Nelson that Messrs.
Spooner and Wells, managers Of the anna
teur champion, have decided to place him
in the professional ranks June 1. Young
Nelson has been following pace now for
two weeks at Vailsburg. He has used
112 gear, and going back of singles has
placed ten-mile ride to his credit at an
average gait of under 1 :33. He starts now
back of tandems, and his work with the
singles has been such as to make 1t almost
certain that he will go under 1:30 to the
mile within couple of weeks. But one
year ago the 2Sth of the present month
young Nelson started his career on the BIZ
cycle track, and for two months worked
unpaced. Two months more were spent
back Of pace. during which time he won
one or two races in good time. In Septem-
oCA VI last year lie 6Ol dulOuS luc EeCOIuS,
and today he holds forty-six amateur rec
ords. On Sunday at Vailsburg he will
make an effort to wrest from Walter Smith
the one-mile amateur record Of 1:2S4s, and
later in the month will make several at
tempts to break his own records from two
miles to the hour against time. Nelson Is
ready to ride amateur races now, and
Manager Voigt at Vailsburg is very anx-
fous to put him on, but has thus far been
unable to secure competitor. Fred Dahlke,
the Buffalo rider has lately issued chal-
lenge to young Nelson, whose acceptance
was quickly forthcoming. This race will
probably take place on May 25, and on May
30 Nelson will ride his last amateur race,
probably at Atlantic City. His first pro-
fessional contest is to be against Harry
Caldwell. the Manchester giant, in all
probability. This will be at Vailsburg, and
following the race Nelson will travel
through the Coliseum circuit, racing at a
number Of points where races have already
been arranged for him. Nelson's season
will be an active one, as his strength, stam-
ina and native pluck will earn him promi-
nent position in the field.
