IN THE GRIP EPIDEMIC Sue Dial Use of Hot Grogs BY Dr. Cyrus Edson, of New York Health Department, and Dr. LIBERMANN, Surgeon-General of the French Army. 11. Ldbernucnn, M. P.. ginrgeon general of the French army, in an article on "La Qrlppe" (lnfluen«a), recommends the fol lowing hot grog: "One-tl lrd goblet of \ in Marlarri, with twb-thhrda boiling wa ter, dovea and cinnamon. ;md with or without ;uarar, makes a givg of exquisite flavor, which produces immediate bene ficial effect in severe cases* of cold, at tended by convulsive coughing and do presslon. It is best taken at bed time. In the grip epidemics Ut* France it was the tonic, absolutely relied upon, and has received frequent de.-e.wd mention in the i Trts?. It lta.^ bteea shown that patients recover very slowly, there is much genera! weakness and lassitude, in variably tailing for something In the i a. tare of ;t mild tonic stimulant, aiul it has been found that Mariani Wine is un eyualed for stjch eases." Dr. Cyrus Eflson, of the New York health department, has made a careful study of the subject in his book on "La Grippe." published by Appletoa & Co. On page 39 he writes of Yin Mariani and calls special attention to it in the form of a hot prog. In speaking of the com plete prostration accompanied by the de pression caused by iliis disease, and also during entire convalescence, his prefer ence for a tonic stimulant is a hot grog of Yin Mariani. He says it is excellent for the "purpose intended, and recom mends its use freely. The remedy is sim ple and within easy reach of all who suf fer from this dreaded disease. A book with further explicit details will be sent by Manoni & Co., 52 West Fifteenth street, New York, to any one who will write requesting same. It is certainly well worth writing for. In addition to the able authorities quot ed, the book offered contains many more similar and most convincing indorse ments, thus proving it the most reliable of all known products of this character.

Many dispatches from the Transvaal refer to the armored trains which a-e used to transport trooos and passengers through the district in which military operations are going on, and inquiry nat urally ar!?>s a= to what constitutes a train of that kind. It is nothing more than a train of or dinary freight cars whicn have betas strengthened on the inside with shceU of metai and pierced with holes, through which rifles. and small field pieces may be used on an attacking party. A flat ear or gondola, with a heavy p!ec^ or iwi of artillery, may be a part of su.-h a train, and in seme instances enough <t the closed oari may be tak^n away ti allow a Maxim gun to be placed in posi tion. An nrmy officer, in speaking of thes^ trains, said: "They are always impro vised and fitted up with the material Dearest at hand. This may be railroad iron, sheets of steel or sandbags, an-1 sometimes nothing more than heavy lumber. We used armored trains in Porto Rico and in the Philippines, and the trains about which we read as be ing used in the Transvaal are probably in most respects like those improvised portable strongholds. Th re are soms cars, like the new steel cars, which have advantages as means of transportation in a country made dangerous by an enemy, but almost any kind of cars may be turned mto the chtss known now as 'ar mored' at short distance, and the ar moring will depend on the mechanical skill of the officer in command."

SOME THROWN FIGHTS CHARUCV GALLAGHER CARRIED FROM THE 111 \«., BIT GIVEN A DRAW BY REFEREE EPH HOLLAND'S BAD GANG Early Day Prize Kl«hl>. Went as They Wagered Their Money— How Heenuii Was "Jobbed" by the Partisans of Tom Sayer* — Jere Hunt's Interpretation of Marquis -of Queensherry Rules. Tom Sharkey's, assertion that he was "jobbed" in his battle with Jim Jeffries Is probably not true, and based largely | upon '"hot air." There is no Question j that George Siler thought Jeffries was entitled to the decision or he would not | have given it to him. Siler may have j erred, but if he did the error was not premeditated. In fact, there have been | few foul judgments rendered by referees : in modern ring battles— that is, fights j that have occurred since the limited I round contest came into vogue. Sharkey probably knows how jobs are worked, j for he was certainly in one when Wyatt Earp declared him winner over Bob Fitzsimmons. on a foul, in that famous meeting in San Francisco. Jem Carney, of England, was deliberately kept out of a decision over Jack McAuliffe, when the Englishman came to this country to wrest the light-weight championship from the famous American boxer. There are many other cases of recent date where the decisions -were at least "queer," but in none of them were there the elements of the direct, bare-faced rob | bery that prevailed in the days when | men met and foujght to a finish with the "raw 'uns" on the turf. GALLAGHER-ALLEN "DRAW." Perhaps the- most glaring and boldest robbery ever perpetrated in a prize light decision was when the seoond battle between Tom Allen and Charley Galla gher was declared a draw. As a mat ter of fact Gallagher was so badly whipped that it was found necessary by his friends to carry him from the ring, he being in a helpless condition from the drubbing administered by Allen. Allen was not even marked in the eWven rounds of milling. The men had met be fore, and Gallagher had knocked out Allen in the second round. The result was a surprise, but 'Gallagher showed so strongly that he was at once made fa vorite in- the second meeting. The "wise" money was all on Gallagher, and it is claimed that the "draw" was "the result of a neat tip to the referee. At any rate, so the decision stood, and the purse was divkied between the men, while the bets were declared off: Gallagher soon dropped out of sight. He. had enough after that go wieh Allen. HOGA.V-ALLEN AFFAIR. When Tom Allen met Ben Hogan, the "preacher-fighter," near Omaha, the Omaha gang was with Hogan, and a de termined effort was-mede to throw^ the fight to him. Allen was game; however, and he whipped -Hogan so thoroughly, despite the breaking into the ring by dozens of Hogan partisans, that there was no chance for a decision in favor of the Omaha "toughs' " man. Allen was compelled ,to face pistols, and was also frequently struck by men on the outside of the ring. He paid no attention to anyone, save Hogan, however, and to-fiis grit was due the failure of the well laid scheme to rob him of a victory. Al len was :so angry. «t the treatment that he threatened to- thrash- Hogan on the streets of any city or town in which they might-meet. While as a rule prizs fighters cherish no animosity, Allen and Hogan were ever after enemies. EPH HOLLAND' S GANG. Tom Allen was the victim of more iobs than any fighter of the age. In his en counters with Joe Goss he was -mal treated by the outsiders, who did all in their power to encompass his defeat by throwing rocks and clubs at him while fighting, but the .sturdy fighter took it all philosophicaJly, -and hit his man in the ring all the* harder as. the crowd in creased its attacks upon. him. At -Cov ington, Ky., Kph Holland 3 gang, was in control, and the Allen men had no: show to win. It was there that CoY Fred Watkir.s, the lifelong friend and backer of Allen, was beaten, out of $1,000 by a clever trick. Some one of the Holland gang ran over to where Watkins ' was standing and, waving a "flash" roll at him. defied him to wager, $1,000 on Allen. Watklns. was a betting man, and he quickly produced the $1,000 in go~d money, which was posted against the "flash" roll, consisting of asl bill wrapped around a corncob. It made no .diff erance, however, for Wat,kins would have lest anyway. HEENAN AND SAVERS. When John C. Heenan went to England to meet Tom Sayers in a battle with bare knuckles, on the turf, for the champion ship of the world, Americans were cer tain the giant would wrest the title from the game champion of Great Britain. They were right in so far as ability to do so was concerned, but they did not take into consideration the gang that frequented the ring-side in those days. The result of the fight is a well known chapter in ring history. Sayers was overmatched, and though he fought as gamely as he had in all his battles, the Britons soon saw that he could not win. The referee, rather than give the decis ion to the "Yankee," left the ring-side, and the crowd cut the ropes. A free fight followed, and Heenan lost a hard-earned decision, though he was ever regaided as having fairly Won the fight. Sayers re tired. MISTREATMENT OF CARNEY. Tf ever the Americans repaid the trick played upon Heenan by the Britons tt was when Jem Carney came to this country and met Jack McAuliffe, th« then thought-to-be invincible lightweight Sapleigh— What-aw-do you consider the best way-aw for me to make love to a girl, Miss Sprite? • Miss Sprite— By telephone. • THE ST. PAUL GLOBE, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1899. champion. McAuliffe wag not in prime condition at the time, and would have lost but for the unfairness of his ad herents, who deliberately set about to save him from defeat, and succeeded. Carney had McAuliffe beaten to a stand still, and would certainly have won had he been given a fair show. The crowd was not there to see McAuliffe whipped, and they prevented it. That is all there can be said about the McAullffe-Carney affair, which was branded a blot on American fairness. McAuliffe's g-imeness aided materially in bringing about the result, for he took an awful beating while in the ring, and did not recover fro.m the effects of the punishment administered by Carney for weeks after the battle. ATTEMPT TO JOB SULLIVAN. It is a matter of ring record that in John L. Sullivan's first big light there was an agreement among the crowd that he should lose. It was intended that John Flood, Sullivan's opponent, should be given the decision, but Sullivan whip, ped Flood so thoroughly that the ref eree did not dare to carry out any such programme as the sang* proposed. Flood was so badly beaten that he was unable to walk, and there was no need for a ruling by the referee. In all of Sullivan's career in the ring he waa not once ac cused of being a party to anything not Btrtctly, as John put it, "On the level." Sullivan could have made a fortune by engaging In a losing battle, but no one ever dared to even suggest such a money making method to the champion of cham pions. LA BLANCHE-HERGET JOB. Johnny Herget, better known in ringf circles aa "Young Mitchell," was the victim of a job that made him the victor. He was not a party to the scheme to swindle bettors the country over. It was fixed that La Blanche was to "lay down" in his fight with Herget. He was natu rally the favorite, and there were good odds to be had. La Blanche was in the plot. He was to receive his "bit." It was a paltry sum for a fighter like the "Marine" to risk his reputation upon— something like $2,soo— but he took the money and permitted Herget to win. No one lost much, as the scheme leaked cut before there had been much money stak ed on the result, while many of the bet tors who had money up got wind of the lay of the land and protected their mon ey. The exposure ruined La Blanche. Herget was heartbroken over the affair and never did much after it. JERE HUNT'S DECISION. Perhaps the most remarkable inter pretation of Marquis of Queensberry rules on record is that of Jere Hunt, the well known St. Loui3 railroad man. There was a battle between two n« groes in a barn In St. Louis. No one was willing to accept the responsibility of acting as referee. Hunt finally agreed to officiate in that capacity. The fight was being witnessed by a party of local politicians and their friend?— a junketing party from an Eastern city. The princi pals were not fighters of note. They went at it in rough-and-tumble style, and there was a lively scrimmage for a few rounds. Suddenly one of tho con testants rushed over to Referee Hunt and shouted: "'Say, Mr. Referee, that nig ger just gouged me. Look at my eye." "Is that so?" replied the referee, unper turbed. "Well, Bill, you've one gouge coming. Go and get it." —Willie Green. CORBETT CONFIDENT. Expects to Win Back the Champion ship Title. NEW YORK, Nov.' 11.— James J. Cor bett's admirers are elated over the fact that the ex-champion will be Jeffries' next opponent. Tho proposed match be tween Corbett and the ohampion is the main topic of discussion among sporting men. The general opinion among the local sports is that the former pugilist King wili surprise many of the wise ones when he enters the ring. "I will fool a whole lot of these fel lows who are under the impression that I am a 'has been,' !> Corbett said to night. ."I feel that I have -at tenst one mote great flgiit 5n me, and that v/lrl be with Jeffries. 1 believe I can defeat Jef irifS, no matter how big and strong he may appear to be. "I have been training for a few weeks and have no fear about my condition. By the timo of the fight I will be better prepared than ever before. All I want is one more chance at the championship, and I will once more be the world's heavyweight champion." Tom O'Rourke, when Informed of Brady's intention to match Jeffries against Sharkey only after the tatter had met Fltzslmmons, said that the sall lor would willingly take on Fitzsimmons or anybody else. "It makes no difference to us who comes first," said O'Rourke, "but we would prefer a return match with the cham pion. If he refuses, we will taka on oth ers. Meantime SharkeV will meet all comers after he has closed his theatrical dates." FIGHTER FIGHTS FIGHTIXG. Gov. Roosevelt Will Seek Repeal of Horton Boxing Law. NEW YORK, Nov. 11.— Gov. Roosevelt has started a crusade against prize fights in New York and will force through the legislature a repeal of the Horton law and the enactment of a- new statute pro hibiting pugilistic contests. He will, if necessary, make the matter a party issue. He declares that no more prize fights will disgrace New York after Jan. 1, IPOO. Billy Brady, Tom O'Rourke ani other fight managers are excited over the news, and declare that they will fight the movement. Gonlette Won a Battle. MI'NCIE, Ind.. Nov. 11.— "Kid" Gou lette, of New York, and Squirrel Finnerty, of Youngstown, 0., fought fifteen vicious rounds before the Muncie Athletic club tonight, in the presence of a big crowd. The match in many respects resembled the Sharkey-Jeffries match, made so by the constant and vicious rushes of Fin nerty, from start to finish. Goulette fought Tommy Moran as a preliminary in the big fight in New York and was in perfect condition tonight. His superior condition made him a strong finisher, and he saved the match by good work in the closing round.

The Inter Oc(*»n says: When the a! way* rfmlable Dan Walsh passed the bla#*>,r bottle containing a fresh assortment of iridescent dreams to the biggest mogu^ln the bunch yes terday he wore a s^bjemn look and sighed a genuine sigh. For an Isolated instant the learned builder of glorious, dreams stood in his place In the council chamber and medi tated. Then with a graceful effort he shat tered the sun-stained silence ard with a dignity all his own told his troubles to the assembled company. "Honored members of the club," he be gan, "I am in trouble, and a man who stands high In your councils is responsi ble." "Name this man," commanded the mo gul. "The man Is Comiskey, of St. Paul," answered^ Dan. "Two weeks ago he in duced me to construct a coid storage parlor in the cellar for the sole purpose of keeping the moose and deer and bear he has agreed to kill up in Minnesota during the presentr game- season. Now, good sirs, he told me that he had prom ised game to a half a dozen or more friends in this city, and that any man presenting a card with his indorsement woui'd bo entitled To ' a portion of the meat which I agreed to keep in cold storage for him and his friends. He told me that I needed only figure on building a place big enough to hold 1,500 or 2,000 pounds of game, and I went to work on that basis. But every day peo ple^ have been coming in and flashing these cards signed "by Commy. Natur ally I kept on enlarging the ice parlor In order to meet the new demand, and as a result the masons and plumbers and la borers who took the contract to do the work have gone oh a strike, and the landlord has openly- accused me of un dermining the foundation of his building. In a word, genttefcien, I have appro priated the whole 'Cfellar 5 and dug a big extension under tfee Sftfeet, but Comiskey still continues toJtlSal;-out these written promises to his friends, and if he makes good my storage^ plant will not be big enough to accommodate half the game he has promised to kljl. I don't want to make any trouble, gentlemen, but under the circumstances I api compelled to, ask you to adopt the resolution restraining the said Comiskey frozn issuing any more Ol his pesky cards. .Now, if you will pass such a resolution and partake of another iridescent dr_eam I will thank you kindly and retire?' As a matter,, of. course, the. resolution was quickly passed and the new dream promptly absorbed. ; Then Dan retired and Comiskey was called- upon: for an explanation. "I am Sorry for ; Dan!" he said, "and I will certainly ob&y the obnoxious order you have just ada^e^ bu| that doesn't alter the fact that I CQuld make good if he'd only give me the\chance.

By the. way, did you gentlemen ever hear the stery of . Yon der Ahe's first and only deer hunt? "It happened, this way. The last year the old St. Louis Browns won the cham pionship things were coming easy, and the boys were all feeling pretty good. As for Chris, he was simply losing sleep every night in figuring out new schemes to spend his money. On the last day of the season Arlie Latham wandered Into the office and made a nob'.e effort to touch Chris for $200. " 'Arlle.' said Chris, 'do you now tel'a me vy I should gif you dia $200 when I myself paid you vages only yesterday? Arlie, I.der boss president of der Browns, must know vhy it ish you try to york me for a good thing so often.' " I'll tell you, and tell you gladly," said Latham; you see, Chris, a lot of society men are going up to Minnesota to hunt deer. They have given me an invite, and you must know, Chris, that I've got to have $200 to be able to buy my outfit and make the proper sort of a front. Now, be a good fellow, fill out a check, and maybe I'll be able to get you an invita tion too. I tell you, here's a great chance for you to break into, society, and break in right.' " "La Jams,' rep led Chris, 'I myse:f nsv er knew dat you vas anyding but der best third baseman in der business, and I never node dat you vas in der society swims. How aboud if " 'In society?' said Latham. 'Why, oil man, young Jacob Astor played ball with me at Harvard, and Willie Vanderbilt was my side partner in running the swell cotillions at Newport four years ago. So ciety? Why, Chris, when I'm not play- Ing ball for you I'm mixing up with the 400. I'm a social leader, 1 am, and that's why I have to tauch you for money so often.' "'Veil, Arley,' anlwfred Yon der Ahe, 'I myself have conzuKed mit myself and decided to join dta. society business. If you vill yourself «g£t jne a written Invi tation to go shootfn'mit your-vrients I vill buy a gun and stake you mlt de $200 vorth of dings yr>u say you need. De dings I shoot I vill myself present to der mayor of St. Lou-ls and den der vill be pieces in de paper* printed about it.' " 'You're on," saia Arlie, with a chuckle. 'You'll get your invitation tomorrow, and I'll get my $200. Yoa m-«*dn't worry, Chris, about an outfit or k gun; just give me the boodle, and I'll coaich you right. In a month you'll come back with a carload of big game and the reputation of being a mighty hunter.' "Next day Chris toy.nd an invitation in his morning mail. It was signed by 'The committee of arrangements,' and politely requested him to be one of a party of twelve, and to meet said party at the depot on the following Monday. Der Bosji President, under theguMance of Latham, then started on a tour of the shops, and purchased all the novelties in the lino of rifles, bunting knives, and camp toggery. When he arrived at the station Latham greeted him with a. smile and introduce! 1 , him to half a dozen or more carefully groomed and mild-mannerrd men. Then they boarded a train and started for Minnesota, During the journey to the •woods Arlle gave Chris a number of quiet tips on the t best way to hunt big game. Ho told him, among other things, that he was to obey orders without a murmur, and that, as he was traveling with a party of swell?, it behooved him to play a thinking part, and do little talk ing. Yon der Ahe promised to be good, and when the party" left the train and started into the WiM^fiess Chris was as pilont and solemn fife president of a national bank.

The next morning at daybreak he was routed cut of ths cabin by Latham, who tcld him to get ready for his hrr,t deer hunt. Chris blinked his dyes, carefully examined a hundred-dollar shooting iron, and took a long pull at the silver flask which he had had filled before leaving St. Louis. Then he followed Latham, who led him a long way from the camp, and finally stationed him at the edge of a brook. It was a bitter cold morning, and Yon der Ahs was shivering and shak ing when they halted. Being a man of action, he drew out his flask and took another drink. Latham promptly grabbed the flask out of his hand and fcald: " 'Now.Chris, you must let me take care of this until you get back to the camp. You know, old man, that all big game, and particularly moose, can scent whisky a mile off and make it a point to keep as far away from whisky as they can. If you keep this flask in your pocket you won't get a glimpse of a pair of antlers if you wait a week. Take my advice and sit down on this stone with your gun ready. Don't smoke and don't move. Don't do anything but wait. Pretty soon you'll see a big buck moose jump out of that bunch of undergrowth and come down to the water to drink. Then Just raise your gun, take aim and fire. Keep on shooting them as fast as they come down to drink, and the guide will be around in two or three hours. He'll have a bottle of whisky with him. Then take a drink. Show him what you've killed and tell him to go away for another hour or two, while you wait and kill some more. Keep this up until twilight and you'll make yourself famous.' " 'But, Ladam, vhy should I, Chris Yon der Ahe, giv to you my flask of vhisky dot I myself vill need it?' " 'Chris, didn't I tell you that the smell of whisky would frighten away the game. If you want to kill moose you must let me keep the flask. Anyhow, the guide will give you a drink when he comes around. Remember, here is your only chance to kill moose and break into good society at one and the same time.' "For four mortal hours Yon der Ahe sat there waiting for the moose that never • came, Finally he threw up tha job In disgust and started back to camp. He lost his way, and for three hours wandered aimlessly through the woods. At last he stumbled Into a little clearing and saw Latham and two other members t>* tbe party seated on a rock, smoking ciga rettes and drinking whisky out of his own silver- flask. He made his way into the group and demanded an explanation. " 'Ladams,' he said, 'for vhy you k*»ep me shivering In de cold waiting for der moose vat alnt dere. I, myself, do you expect to tell me an explanation of vhy you and your frents drink my vhisky .out of my flask, yen I, Chris Yon der Ahe, be burning up mit dirst and freez ing tnit colt.' " 'Ah. Chris,' retorted Latham, 'try to remember to forget it. You havti not obeyed orders and as a result you haven't killed your moose. Vhy didn't you stay where I put you and wait?' " 'Vait! Ladams I vaited and I vaited and I vaited. Vhy didn't dat moose show up?' " 'To tell you the truth, Chris,' re plied Lathem, 'these moose are dead wise, and I guess the old boy must have got a whiff of the whisky you didn't have and kept away.' " 'Arlie,' cried Chris, 'dis moose bunt ing is all one damn foolishness. I myvelf vill return to St. Louis and fine you $100 for your freshness. Dis is awful.' "But Chris thought better- of it, and compromised by buying a big buck that one of the guides had shot that- after noon. It was -not until after the party returned to St. Louis that Yon der Ahe discovered that Latham's society friends were a party of railroad men who hailed from Chicago and indulged in annual pilgrimages to the Minnesota wood* every tutumn."

For many months the Inspectors of the Union Pa cific railroad have scrutinized the thou sands of freight cars that handle the overland traffic. When a debilitated car of low capacity or unequipped with air brakes rattled past It was branded aa condemned, and, if empty, was shunted off on the sidetrack built to be a last refuge for the doomed cars. This process continued for months till the cars, av eraging thirty feet in length, reached a total length of seven miles. This dis tance wa3 ascertained by local statisti cians, who, in the interests of railroad history, pedaled their bicycles along the line and measured it with their cyclo meters. These cars are humpbacked, sway backed, and contorted in every conceiv able way, but they still hold themselves erect with a kind of melancholy dignity. They have had careers varying from right to twelve years, and since their building a score of changes have taken place in car construction. Their capacity is often as low as 18,000 pounds, whereas the modern car is from 40,000 to 60,000 pounds capacity. The brake mechanism for the freight car has come to be as complicated as was that of the passen ger car thirty years ago, and Inventions applying to doors, ventilation and run ning gear made the old-time cars most pronounced "back numbers." A contract between railroad and state calls for the demolition of these cars by the convicts, the wood going to the penitentiary, where it will keep the state's charges warm this winter, and the scrap Iron to the railroad shops, whence It will issue in due time in the form of new railway material.

WHEEL STILLPOPILAR REPRESENTATIVE OYCLJSTS LOOK ON THE LAST SEASON WITH SATISFACTION BIKES HOLD THEIR FRIENDS Said Store Wheels Were Sold ln St. Paul ln 1899 Than Any Previous Summer-Absence of Friction Be tween Bicyclists and th«» Author ities — Need lor a Large Central Club Honsp Down Town. The bicycle season Is practically over and a retrospective view of the events that have taken place in the wheeling world since last spring is of special sat isfaction to the enthusiastic wheelman. The cycle path system has . been im proved, extended and made more valua ble in more ways than one to the riders; several of the best state road records have been replaced with new ones, the state professional mile record being're duced over three seconds. More wheels have been sold during .1899 than any year since the 1 wbe%ttte<?ame' popular, and the little prejudice agaififet/ 1 the wheel is fast disappearing. Short talks with a dozen or more we4l- known local wheelmen give evidence of the general satisfaction that the devotees of the wheel feel over the season of 1899. Fenwick E. Low, president of the Lau rel Cycle club, said: "There is more deep seated enthusiasm among wheelmen this year than ever. The bicycle is no longer a fad, and as a vehicle of facility it is just as popular as with those who first espoused, the wheel as a- means of recreation. In -a general sense the season of 1599 has been unusually successful. Mnre people are rfdlng this year- than heretofore and wo haVe had some excellent weather." ■'< F. L. Hoxie, acting chief consul of the L. A. W. in Minnesota, has expressed hWnself as being decidedly opposed to L. A. ' W. control of professional racing. He* feels, like many others, that the quicker the L. A. W. begins with a clear sheet the more effectual the organiza tion will be in advocating those princi ples upon which the organization has re . ceived -ltL greatest impetus. It is believed by .some who keep in touch Witbr iii'K. W. affairs that profes sional racing>?v*sft;b& handed- over to the N. G. A. at th&aiwnial gathering in Ft b ruary.- There Is fco' disputing the fact that the racing qtoestion has alienated many from the ranks of the L. A. W., as shown by the membership figures for 1599. One prominent L. A. W. man expressed himself to the Globe as follows: "Professional racing has been an eye sore to the League of American Wheel men, and the quicker the league hands active control over to some other organi sation the better for good roads, good laws and the other principles which the organization stands for." J. E. Meyers, chairman of the Asso ciated Wheelmen, said when seen by the Globe: "I don't think there has been a year in the history of wheeling in St. Paul that there has been so little friction between the wheelmen and the local au thorities. The public at large appreciates the utility of the wheel; the opposition i of the past has not been apparent this year to any marked degree. We have more cycle paths and better regulations, and those who ride wheels have never en joyed themselves better than during the past year." C. B. Gedney, president of the Commer cial Cyclers, calls attention to the neecTof a club house in the central part of the city. Such a building should, he believes, be put up or rented by the various clubs, and each club have a stated evening and some sort of entertainment provided. "The great trouble," said Mr. Gedney, "has been to get the people to come down town in the evening. They go home and stay at home. If all the wheel- Ing forces of the city could get together and secure a good down-town club house, where some entertainment besides wheel ing could be provided on rainy evenings it would fill a l?*ng felt want, besides be ing a powerful organization. We have had a building at Coma for two years, but it ,is too far out. We need something more central." > President A. L. Mace, of the Century Road club, is not least enthusiastic of the St. Paul wheelmen, and there is i Rood reason for this. As president of the National C. R. C. organization he has witnessed the breaking of the state century record, the national 100-mile rec ord and several other records, which places Minnesota road riders at the front rank. He says: 'For the first time sinc> read riding be came popular with Minnesota cyclists, the Northileld course century is held by a St. Paul rider. On Sunday, Nov. 5, John Korlath, of this city, made the trip in 6 hours, 18 minutes and 11 second?, clip ping 13 minutes and 49 seconds from the record established in. October, 1808, by Louis Neiderhoffer, of Minneapolis, whose time of 6 hours and 32 minutes captured the record held less than a month by C. H. Vanderhoof, of that city, who was the first cyclist to reduce the old Hansen record of 7 hours 3 minutes, which had stood for nearly four years, a bugbear to road-riding cyclists. "The Northfield course record has for years been eagerly sought after by local riders. It is generally conceded that the holder of this record is the champion rider of the state, for the Northtield course is a typical country road through out, the hills are frequent and steep and the surface Just ordinary dirt road, with a generous supply of ruts, dust and sand. A ride over this course at high speed is the severest test possible of a rider's abil ity and endurance. The C. R. O hus for several years recognized the import ance of the record and has awarded each year a heavy gold medal to the member of the club who first succeeded in redo ing the established record of the year previous. The result is that the record has been repeatedly shaved, until now It stands at a figure which will necessitate the hardest kind of record-breaking work to further reduce. Mr. Koriath is a young man, but nineteen years of age, who haa not figured prominently among our crackg heretofore. That he Is possessed of re-' markable endurance is clearly demon strated by his performance of last Sun day. "On Tuesday afternoon, just forty eight hours after the ride was finished Mr. Archie Matheia. of the oad record committee of the C. R. C, announced that the record claim had been made up v-rth all the necessary affidavits of tim ers and checkers, and had been started on the rounds of his committee for aa proval. This ia quite a record in itself and speaks well for the promptress and efficiency of tha St. Paul member 'of this national committee. "The official jeweler of the club a. M. Johnson, of Chicago, has been or dered to forward the medal, which will reach St. PaiiJ m a few days 'and be placed on exhibition. The medal wili not be given to young Koriath, however, ua til his record certificate is received duly sealed and approved by Chairman Porter of New York," ana the balance of tha national road record committee of tha Century Read club."
