CYCLING IN AUSTRALIA.
American Riders Captured Practically
All the Big Purses.

Since the trio of American cyclists-Iver
Lawson. Floyd mcfarland and Hardy
Downing-invaded the racing regions of
Australia, the army of other pedal-pushers
in the antipodes. numbering several hum
dred, has been compelled to take back
seat The three Yankees have been in the
land of the kangaroo for little more than
two months. and during that time gathered
up nearly every prize in sight. Between
them, MacFarland and Lawson won nine
out of eleven races at Sydney, New South
Wales. and swept the board of all first
money in the races at Melbourne. To the
Americans Australia has proven a bonanza
but their complete success has stirred UP
considerable envy among the other riders.
The three Americans were lately joined
by Orlando Stevens. who. with MacFar-
land, five years ago composed the noted
Il and Stevie" combination. Stevens
works in with his pals. and, together with
his and Down.ngs assistance in the way
of setting pace, Lawson and Mactarland
have comparatively little trouble in win
ming Frequently they finish one and two
and Downing and Stevens do not often miss
10 land share of the purse.
MacFerland, in letter to Deck VOTERS
of Newark, n. j.. writes of the success he
and his chuns are meeting. The purses Of
Tered In the races in Australia appear
enormous in comparison with the prizes put
up In this country, running as high as tloCO
$3.50. but the entry Lists, too, are much
larger. For instance, the Austral hand cap,
the biggest cycle event of the year in Aus
trala. had 13S entries, and to finish first at
the head of this procession, NJ lcFariand
states is worth the money at stake.
The combined speed OF Lawson and track
generalship of MacFarland Is the winning
stock nearly every time, but among the
field OF other competitors there are some
good riders. including 'Plugger BIZ Mar
tin, once winner of the Austral. Besides
Lawson and mcfarland there are only two
other scratch men, d. J. Walker and q. K.
Morgan. the other riders being strewn over
the track at any distance from twenty to
400 yards. according to the length of the
race.
Major Taylor Is on his way to Australia,
and MacFarland writes he and his mates
have a royal reception prepared for the
dusky rider Thousands of spectators at
tend nearly every cycle event Of Importance
IN the antipodes and tons OF money are
wsgered on the results. 1t is expected tina
after the racing season there many of the
cyclists will emisrate to this country, and

lance championships

BRITT AFTER YOUNG coRBErT.
Latter Insists That Former Must Get
Down to 100 Pounds.

A special from San Francisco says that
William Britt's challenge to Young Corbett
directly after the close of the fight with
Hanlon has precipitated many lively argu-
ments to the relative merits of Corbett
and Britt Only one pound now separates
them. Britt wanting 1870 and Corbett 129.
But these sixteen ounces seem can insur-
mountable obstacle at present, and it will
take a clever manipulation to bring them to-
gether.
ready to talk business, said Britt. Il will
meet Young Corbett at 100 pounds at G
o'clock however, and may as well be frank
about it as long as the subject has been
preached, but l cannot go lower than that"
Corbetts talk was just decided. He
said: Il am really 125-pound man and
could have done that easily last week I
have been allowing such boys as Hanlon
and McGovern the same advantage, but the
weight Britt asks is out of the question. I
will stay in California for time and await
developments and hope to have the other
fellow agree to my terms
Il told Britt l would fight him at 129
pounds, weigh in at o'clock. and If he
wants to meet me at that weight 1 will sign
with him at any time, but l won't do any
thing better for him. l am told that he
wants to fight at 1870. weigh in at o'clock,
but that is out of the question One hun
dred and twenty-nine pounds is a nice
weight for me, and want to fight at that.
/ am told Britt agreed to do 129 pounds not
long ago, but il now appears he has chang
ed his mind, else 1 have been misin-
formed"
Britt says Corbett fought in the light
weight ciass against Hanlon, and that there
is no valid reason why Corbett should OBJ
ject to 1873 pounds ringside. At that weight
he will take on Corbett at any time.
Eddie Hanlon was about yesterday and in
much better shape than might have been
expected by an eyewitness to his furious
mill against Young Corbett. He says 1T was
Corbett's body blows that beat him, but he
did not feel as sore around the stomach as
he did after the last match with Benny
Yanger. His face was not beautiful OBJ
ject to look upon. Bruises cuts and discol-
orations were numerous, but all wounds
were superficial and a couple of weeks
should eradicate the last trace of his bat
tering.

Making Soap From a Tree.

United States Consul Mahin al Noting
ham, England. has furnished the Depart
Laent of State with an account of an enter
prise in Algeria to manufacture natural
SOAP on a large scale from a tree known as
"sapindus utilts This plant, which has
long been known in Japan. China and In
ola. bears a fruit OF about the size of a
horse chestnut. smooth and round. The
color varies from ,yellowish green to
brown. The inner part is of a dark color
and has an oily kernel The tree bears
fruit in its sixth year and yields from 55
to 20 pounds of fruit. which can easily be
harvested in the fall. BY using water or
alcohol the saponaceous ingredient of the
fruit Is extracted The cost of production
is said to be small and the soap, on account
OF possessing no alkaline qualities, is claira-
ed to be superior to the ordinary soap of
commerce.
