The subscriptions for the cycle path from Pros pect Park to ?'oney Islan! were finished yesterday. and this statement will tie a good piece of ?"hrlst m.is news for bicycle riders In and about Brooklyn. 1 P..

After congratulating the commit? tee on Its good work, he said that the path won.,I be well cared for. This Is said to be th.? Drat public highway ealabltohed exclusively for wheelmen in the country. The dlatance from the head of the Boulevard IO Coney Island Is live and a half mile-, Th?? pad is lop-dressed with blue limestone, ani when properly rol?e.l this will ? i,k? an libai surface for Mcyelea.

Mr. Durham, who built the track at Ptolnfleld baa been mak Ing estimates and he ?? conftdent rh.u he can con? struct a faster track in th?? neighborhood "f New York City. President Sullivan favors th.? Idea, and anything that Mr. Sullivan favors In athletic mat? ters generally t.?"??? through. The idea of the Cnlveralty of Pennsylvania In s-ndintr a representative team ->f athletea t" Eng? land meets with approbation.
