not an over-abundance of this worlds
goods and every penny counts. These
fellows are seen around the track
during the daytime, and surely do not
work during the racing season, and
must receive some remuneration for
their endeavors, aside from merchan-
disc prizes, as advertised on the pro-
gram. Another matter: / do not think
Bill Bailey would come over to this
country to ride merely for having his
expenses paid. He does not ride i'll
open competition, so could not get
any merchandise awards. Are not
amateur bicycle riders supposed to
be on the same platform as A. A. u.
athletes? If not, and they receive the
"mazuma," why do not Messrs. Min
lon, Uppercue ct al class these riders
as class pros? This would do away
with the skeptical feeling among the
fans, who believe amateur" Simon
pure" etc, are misnomers in regard
to cycling in this city. Now, J. T. N,
/ am no crank or sorehead, being
regular patron of the Vailsburg arena
and have several friends among the
riders, but l would, as probably many
others, like to have your opinion of
this matter. Hoping you will publish
this after altering to suit your taste,
am, yours respectfully,
MARCEL WAVE.
You seem to be so we'll posted, why
not rely on your own information?
Amateurs are a rarity. | guess, but
why worry about it? You must have
some sore spot exposed or else you
want to get even" with someone.
Whichever it is, you'll have to do 1t
without my help.

Just a few words and space in your
valuable paper in reference to Frank
L. Kramer, the worlds greatest
cyclist. Everybody likes to take
chance in knocking a champion, take
1t from me. When man has held
the championship for thirteen years
and has still got it on all of them, he
is some great rider, believe me, and as
for A. ]. Clarks remarks that he
don't want dead one for partner
in the New, York six day race, he just
wants to stand up straight and shape
himself and see If he is awake. He
is having a bad dream when he thinks
that he is the big noise in the six
day race, because he is not. These
swell-headed guys are like a popular
song, they only last few seasons
and then they are put on the shelf.
Frank L.. Kramer is the greatest
bicyclist living, and he don't take
water from anyone. Clark might beat
him once in while but when 1t comes
to match" where is Clark, en-
smelling the dust of Big Steve's
rear wheel as he passes by, and when
Kramer signs up to ride in the six
day race this year he will be there
with the goods, and it will take some
combination to beat him. So kindly
give him the once over again, and
three big cheers for our American
champion and hoping him success in
winning the big six day race, thus
browning him without a peer. Yours
for old time sport,
GEORGE C. BENFER.
Right you are, George.

D | noticed in your paper week ago
or so. of a young man getting ar
rested on Market street by mistake.
Now this same thing happened to
my son on Sunday last. on the corner
of Dickerson street and Sussex aV-
enue. and he was taken to the House
of Detention and kept there three
hours. AS if this was not bad enough,
his name appeared in the papers with
three other boys as highway robbers.
/ wish you would rectify this SO that
some of these pig-headed policemen
could see it, and save our family from
disgrace. MRS. B.
1t is indeed to he regretted that
your son was arrested by mistake
That is bad thing 10 happen to a
youth, and the detention does not add
to its attractiveness either. that's
sure. As for his name appearing in
ha I,ot x.,hi tINr
table, cannot be avoided, as the names
in the police blotter are the re-
porter's groundwork for his "stories"
and are made use of daily. OF course
If your boy was arrested through an
error, 1t must have been rectified by
this time at the police station. If
not, you can consult a lawyer.
