New Cycling Scheme.

"A new scheme is afoot to put bicycle
racing into renewed life. There has
been much correspondence recently
among the track owners, and it is in
tended to adopt system for bowl rae
ing that will put the sport on better
basis than it has ever enjoyed. Accord
ing to information given out in New
York, Washington is to go in with
Boston, Providence, New York, Phil
adelphia, Newark, Baltimore and Pitts
burg to make up circuit of tracks on
which are to be given motor paced rae
ing on a regular schedule in the same
way that professional baseball is con-
Quoted. A group Of about. eight top
notch men, such as Michael, Elkes,
Walthour, Freeman and Leander, are
to be matched to race in the series of
schedule events that are to determine
the championship. The men are to be
paced by single motors, and each track
is to have two single motors in reserve
for all races, to be used in the event
of accidents to the regular pacing ar;
tillery. In addition to the eight star
riders, there are to be two substitutes
on the list to take the places of men
who may be injured or taken i'll.

The SARATOGA Stakes.

While the Saratoga stakes which
closed recently will not be run until
1904 and 1905, the publication of the
entries reveals much that is interesting
to the layman Of the turf as well as to
the breeders and owners and the man
agement of the association.
Two Of the events, the Great Repub-
lie and the Hopeful, were instituted by
the new Saratoga association for the
Improvement of the breed of horses and
are to be run in 1905.
The Hopeful, which has an estimated
value of $4,000, is produce stake for
two-year-olds, and the nominations are
mares covered in 1902. Sixty breeders
answered the call for entries to this
event, with total of 6S7 entries.
Contrary to the records of produce
stakes in the past. James B. Haggin is
not the largest nominator to the Hope
full. This great breeder. in fact, is well
down on the list and is oyershadowed
by many who have not heretofore fig
ured largely as breeders.
Colonel Milton Young of McGrath-
lana stud is the heaviest nominator.
His individual nominations number
131, while his partnership nominations
with other breeders swell the total to
IA, almost double that of the second
name on the list.

The Captain In the "B" Division.

The Captain In the "B" Division.
A celebrated controversy has been
settled by the current issue of the
Social Register for Washington. Cap
tain William Bainbridge-Hoff,U U. S. NJ,
appears u..1..cr division B. Thereby
hangs a tale, says the New York
World. Thirty years ago William B.
Hoff of New Jersey was registered at
the Naval academy at Annapolis. He
was grandnephew of the great Com
modore William cambridge of the war
Of 1872. Five years after entering the
Naval academy Mr.. Hoff decided to
hyphenate the cambridge and made a
request to the naval authorities that he
be enrolled under the name of Balm
bridge-Hoff.
The request was refused. The naval
authorities stated that it would be nee
essary for Mr.. Hoff to appeal to con-
gress if he wished to change his name
and that he must be known in naval
records as William B. Hoff. Every
year since that time Captain Balm
bridge-Hoff repeated his protest upon
the appearance of the Naval Register,
but the navy stuck to it's guns, and in
every official publication the gentleman
is simply designated William B. Hoff.
Three years ago Captain cambridge
Hof had a lawsuit with the local Di-
rectory editors because they placed
him with the HIS rather than the BIS,
as requested
