COMMENT ON SPORTS.

Amateur and Professional.

The motor boa show IN Madison Square Gar
den will command chief interest IN sporting
circles this week. Heretofore this exhibition has
been held IN conjunction with the Sportsmans
Show, but the growing popularity OF the little
craft has reached such q point that more room
was needed. and il was decided, and wisely, to
make the two shows separate and distinct this
year. The evolution Of the motor boat is hard
ly less remarkable than the evolution of the
automobile IN hardly more than five years the
power boat has been converted from a mere toy
TO pleasure craft. which has distinct COM

now dotted with them where few years ago
the -owboat and sailboat held sway, and they
have added so materially to the pleasures OF d

point Of view is 1ustihable. The argument is
advanced. however, that this rule applies to so
few men that it is hardly fair to discriminate
against them. particularly as the general rule
applying TO a students academic standing pre-
cludes his playing on any athletic team If he is
behind IN his work. The rule however, does NOT
prevent man playing on the hockey team. for

BICYCLING.

With the revival Of interest in bicycling which
has been seen in the last two years and which
promises to be an even greater issue this season,
there is some inclination to surprised wonder
and reference to wheeling as something that was
once dead, but now lives again. 1t would be
rather hard for some OF these commentators 10
give the exact date Of the wheels demise.
There was, ii must be acknowledged, n decided
slump IN interest, when bicycling is considered
purely as recreation, but that, in its strongest
sense applies only TO this side Of the Atlantic.
In England and Europe generally there was a
relaxation of faddshness. but the general de-
mand for the wheel, purely for itself and its
own advantages, kept the sales we'll up to the
mark Last year 10 point the moral, II IS said on
high authority that the receipts OF the manu-
facturers were greater and the number Of
wheels sold much larger than ever before in
the history Of the bicycle industry. In America
matters We're somewhat less favorable to the
trade during the late 90s and tho second
growth Of enthusiasm hardly became a feature
to be considered until 1903. From that time for
ward, however. the upward has been a
sharp one and the sales have been exceptionally
large. But that the wheel was ever abandoned,
literally is far from true. With a lessened de-
mand came lower prices and determined effort
TO put the business on a stable basis. The trade
IS in a better condition to-day than when sales
were dependent upon a craze that was accepted
at its true value even then.

HOCKEY.

The st. Nicholas Skating Club has won the
championship Of the Amateur Hockey League,
taking the title from the Crescent Athletic Club
last Thursday night. The new champions are
deserving of all the praise bestowed upon them
They had a strong team last year, when they
defeated and were defeated by both the Cres-
cents and the New York Athletic Club. This
year one change was made in the team, Marcus
taking Wagstaff's place on the line. and their
game has gradually improved, until they wound
up on Thursday night by defeating the Brook
lyn men in a stubbornly fought game, which re-
Quired extra period to decide The Crescents
were greatly surprised by the fast, clever game
put up by the winners, and acknowledge they

GALE BRINGS SUIT
ON LIBEL CHARGE
Claims Prominent New Hampshire At
torney Made Damaging Statements
About Him in Letter to State
License Commissioners.

Gen. John H. Albin of Concord, n.
H., one of the most prominent attorneys
in that state, has been sued for $2O,-
600 by Fred C. Gale on the charge of
libel. The suit is brought in the su-
perior court for Cheshire county and
General Albin s real estate in Concord
has been attached for the amount of
the writ. The suit grows out of state
ments which the plaintiff claims the de-
fendant made in a letter written to the
New Hampshire license commissioners
in MAY, 1905, when Gale applied to the
commissioners for a renewal of his Ii
censes on the island. Opposition to the
renewal of these licenses developed in
several quarters, the Vermont Valley
Railroad company opposing it on the
ground that the liability of accidents
on the railroad crossing near the local
station would be increased if the Ii
censes were granted There was a
hearing on the matter at Bellows Falls,
many Brattleboro men attending. Mr.
Gale appeared before the directors of
the railroad company in an effort to
have them withdraw their opposition
but was unsuccessful. In the particular
letter on which the suit is brought Gen
eral Albin is alleged to have accused
the plaintiff of conducting gambling
house and house of i'll fame in con-
nection with his liquor business on the
island. Dudley & Lowe of Concord, N.
H., are counsel for the plaintiff.

priation of 5000 for series Of band
concerts this summer.
Early In the week il looked as II
legal steps might be necessary to &c,
the names of all seven candidates for
bailii on the official ballot but after
considerable talk the matter has finally
been righted. The petitions filed last
week Monday evening nominating John
j, Eckels aud Dennis Duggan for the
Office of bailiifs contained only seven
names each, and some doubt existed
as to whether this number was enough
TO make the nominations legal. In or
der to do away with any question on
this score Village Attorney Schwenk
last Thursday told W. d. Perry, the vii.
lage clerk, to notify Messrs. Eckels and
Duggan that more names were needed
on their petitions. Mr. Eckels received
his notification Thursday morning and
Immediately secured seven more sign.
crs on his petition, supposing of course,
that Mr. Duggan would receive like
notification and do the same thing.
Nothing more was heard Of the matter
until Saturday when the sample bal
lots, required by law to be posted 10
days before the village meeting, ap-
peared minus the name of Mr.. Duggan
This naturally aroused the ire of Mr.
Duggan 5 supporters, and Attorney A.
L. CARPENTER. before whom his nomina'
tion papers were sworn, began an in
vestigation. Mr.. Perry said that Mr..
Duggan 5 name had been left off the
list because his petition did not con
tain names enough, but when ques-
toned as to why Mr.. Eckels's name
appeared he admitted that he had for
gotten to notify Mr.. Duggan to get the
required number of names on his pa.
pers.
This left the matter in a very much
tangled state. On Monday Attorney
Carpenter held a conference with the
village clerk and threatened TO petition
the supreme court for a writ of man
damus to make that official show cause
why Mr.. Duggan's name did not ap'
pear on the ballot. Finally the matter
was settled by Mr.. Perry giving Mr..
Carpenter an order to have the Official
ballots reprinted with Mr.. Duggan s
name thereon. The mix-up caused con.
siderable feeling for a time and all
sorts of stories were afoat relative to
couspiracies and plots on the part of
certain factions to keep Mr.. Duggan
out of the fight. The whole trouble
however, was due to nothing else than
the failure of the village clerk to no
tify Mr.. Duggan at the time he did
Mr.. Eckels. The names will now ap-
pear on the official ballot as follows:
For bailiffs-H. R. Brown, Citizens ,;
Dennis NJ. Duggan, People s; John J.
Eckels, Municipal; G. E. Gilman, Citi'
zens'; W. D. ellison, Citizens; A. +:
