Bicycle Figures.
From the Louisville Courier Journal.

tVIII
There are at present 100000 bicycles in
use in the United Kingdom. One person in
every twenty in England. Scotland and Ire
land rides a bike" This proportion of
bicycles to population is far greater than IT
in America in the palmy days of
cycling. And throughout Europe bicycling
which has been abandoned as a sport in
the United States, is popular. There is now
and then talk in this country of a revival
of cycling. Whether there will be a re-
vival is a question time alone can answer
but there are cogent reasons why there
should be,

When little children cross the seas
This big, wide world to see,
They see white sails, before the breeze,
Go dancing merrily.
They see great gulls, with broad white wings,
Fly through the sky SO blue;
And porpoises-such ugly things
Down in the water, too.
They see the queer, high waterspout
The whale shoots in the afr
Though they can't see him splash about,
By this they know he's there!
See steamships pass, like small, dark specks,
So very far away
And seasick people on the decks
The whole long summer day!

Something About Elephants.

People who really knew nothing about
it used to say that elephants never lie
d0wa to sleep This is not true at ALL
They have been known to stand for twelve
months without once lying down to sleep;
this is regarded want of confidence in
their keepers. and of longing to regain
their liberty. For when they are perfectly
at ease. and reconcied to their fate they
will lie down on their sides and sleep peace
fully.

All day they eat, and play, and run;
All night they sleep like tops;
At last, one morn, the voyage done,
The great big steamship stops!
And looking out, with sparkling eyes,
They see the golden sand
That in the broad Scheldt river lies
And SO they come to land!
Across, far as the eye can see,
Hollands fair fields are there
Flat, fresh and green as they can be
And windmills everywhere!
And little trees, all green and round,
And standing in row,
Where nothing but the sea was found
Hundreds of years ago.

GOULD SELLS
POLO PONIES

George ]. Gould is disposing of his
stable of polo ponies at private sale and
is withdrawing from the game tenn
porarily. For a year at least there will
be no polo games at Georgian Court.
Mr.. Gould has not lost his interest in
the sport, but is a enthusiastic now as
he was when he organized the Lakewood
Polo club and promoted several cham
pionship tournaments there. Georgian
Court became the home of polo in Am.
erica. The four polo fields there repre-
sent an outlay of about $75 900, and are
said to be the finest playing courses in
this country.
Mr.. Gould's vast railroad enterprises
have kept him so busy that he has spent
very little time at Georgian Court this
past winter. His sons, Kingdom and Jay,
have been too occupied with their
studies to give much time to polo
Kingdom is Junior at Columbia and
Jay will enter the same university next
September. He is now in London pre-
pairing for the British tennis champion
ship contest. Mr.. and Mrs. Gould and
Kingdom, early in June, are to join Jay
in England.
Both the Gould boys developed phen-
omenal skill as polo players. They have
played the game ever since they were
able to WELD mallet, and in the handi-
cap lists they are rated with the tom
notche players Of the country.

BRISENO STILL
IN HOT WATER

1t is evident that the rumpus over the
ownership of Kid Briseno has not yet
been decided. Even after the late de-
cision Of Secretary Farrell that the
speedy shortstop belonged to Edmon-
ton by right of contract, the coast
leaguers were not satisfied. Tacoma had
purchased him from Butte, when Russ
Hall thought he had him securely boun1
by contract, and the trouble now appears
to be that Hall has a grouchy spot some
where and hates to hand over the money
which has been passed up to him by
the Tacoma team. Although It is IN the
power OF the secretary of the national
committee to stop Briseno's ball playing
and fine the club which allows him to
play-there is trouble stirring about.
White of the Edmonton team has wired
Briseno transportation to Lewiston. He
is now at Spokane.

AMERICA LOSES
Good JOCKEYS
Low Weights Drive Boys
Abroad; Miller Now
Lone Rider

1t looks as though racegoers would
have to put up with a dearth of high
class riders for another season. SewelPs
death and Radtke's collapse have re-
moved Miller's greatest rivals and have
left him supreme in the field, and he
will be the one best bet throughout the
season. Radtke has become so weak
from the heroic process to keep down
to weight that his days seem to be al
ready numbered so far as riding in
America is concerned.
Even If Radtke should be able to re-
sumo at Aqueduct the talent will be
afraid to trust him as they did of yore.
1t will be natural for them to fear that
sheer lack Of strength will make 1t i'm
possible for him to put up one of his
famous finishes, There are sad rumors,
too, to the effect that Radtke has already
oVertaked his constitution in keeping
himself skeleton, and that the white
mans scourge has him in it's clutch.
That hemorrhage after his victory on
