i Many studonts and graduate of Columbia
University aro wondering why tho coaching of
''; tha 'varsity nnil froaliaiiin crew candidates has
ft not been Intruded to Walter II. Peot, Vfho
5 turned out the winning crow at I'oughkoopslo
S, In 1890. It appear from tho statements of per
ft son who are conversant with rowing affairs at
H Columbia that Peet was asked tu coach not onlr
5s last year' eight, but alto this year's candidates.
6 and refusod becauso he was not assured of abso
fjf Jutecontrol of tho oarsmen. It Is said that Peot
KJfc was requested to coach tho 'varsity craw Inst
Kpf year under tho supervision of a rowing commit
f.l tee. That Is to say, ho was Invltod to tako chnrgo
Eft of the oartmon on condition that ho would
M Instruct them In the methods of a stroko to bo
JRji suggested by tho commlttoa. In vlow of tho
fact that Peot coached a winner In 181)5, It was
MSI not considered strango that he should baro ob
W jected to recelTlnr pointers f rom a comrhltlea
wS of rowing oxperts. It Is now said that not long
Kty ago Peet was asked to takochnrgoof the crew
&& candidates for this year, and was also requested
W to act In accordance with tho Instructions of
RI, still another rowing committee, who bcllovcd
Kif, that Columbia should adopt a stroko which
jr should bo a combination of thoso taught bi
ff Courtney, Cook and Lehmann. Peel, It Is
Ira? olalmod, would hare beon willing to assume con
Bf trolofColunibla'soarsmon.provldlngbehadbccn
h'( allowed to use his own judgment as to Btroke and
Hfii trainers, but he could not stnnd for the opinions
K of the commltteo, and rather than be bnndi
BS cappod so that tho crow would not provo a sue-H-fi
cess ho refused to hare anything to do with It.
j&t Therefore, the report cirs, the commltteo sc
m lected Webb, the boatbulldor, as coach. Thore
Wi ore said to be two rowing factions at Columbia,
Wf ono of which Is favorable to Peet and tho other
H opposod to him. As Peet has beon tho only suc
f cessful coach Columbia has evor had, his
fiS friends arguo that his rcBngngcmcnt, with
Ui supremo authority, will guaranteo a strong
er ar 'varsity crew wearing the bluo and
V& white than under other circumstances.
tp The system of controlling rowing and othor
i (ports, as has often been pointed out in Tun
Mf Gun, is so different at Columbia from that at
& other Institutions that. In ordor to put tho local
Mf students ahead In athletics, a certain amount of
H? reform is necessary.
gy "Tho best college pitcher I ever saw," said
!$S George yavis, snortstop of tho New Yorks, yos-
Bx terdoy, "ws Carter of Yale. He had phenoni-
W anal speed, wondcrtul curvet and n remarkabla
fi delivery. 1 shall never forgot tho doy ho pitched
i against tho Now Yorks two or threo years ago,
F In the oarly spring. Tho day was cold und tho
SSL New Yorks. all dono up in heavy swoators, wero
juK taking things easy. Carter had on a light flan-
Del shirt, with bis right arm bare, and ho began
J, sending in tho balls like cannon shot. Ills speed
pi was something terrific, and wo were all dotig-
J Ins away from tho plate, fearing that
he would knock somebody s head off. Wo kept
'& waiting for him to lot up, but he continuod to
Zt shoot them In with such steam that, in all. wo
ES madoonly about seven hits In the game. When
By. the teams got into the dressing room after the
BT battlo a couple of Yalo men were rubbing Car-
y ter's arm.
Sir "'That was pretty hot speed you had to-day,
it. Carter.' said Johnny Ward.
JS "Oh, I don't know.' replied tho tall Yale
JSt pitcher. 'Did you peoplo think I was swift !'
5S "'Well, I should say we did,' replied Ward.
Mi Yon had ns scared to death P
K "'I'm surprised at that.' rotortcd Carter,
seriously, because my arm Isn't exactly right.
t and I didn't let myself out.'
I? " Ever since then the Now York player who
G'ji took part in that game have been regretting
fm tho fact that tha big Yale man's arm wasn't
( right, for we'd havo liked to have seen just what
he was capablo of doing with us when he was

fi - College baseball enthnslasts frequently nsk
S- the question as to tho best collego catcher ever
& Keen on tho diamond. Tnls generally brings
5S forth answers that involve tho names of Ilort
Jf Allen, Campbell and Uenshaw of Harvard ; Jcsso
JDann. Hubbard and Qrcenwayof Yale; Kafer
$ of Princeton, Coogan of tho University of Penn-
g& sylvanta. Dick Flnlay of Columbia, and many
,p others. Dann becatno noted as the catcher who
ie handled the puzzling curves of Stairg of Yale.
Ki IIo was, no doubt, a wonderful backstop, and
IS bis work attracted tho attontion of professional
If? baseball managers all over the country.
CIV Harvard men had two particular stars to
fU boast of In Allen nnd Campbell. The former
rV Is dead. In 188S ho was catcher on
Is, Harvard's champion team, for which Ud
?.( Nichols was a phenomenal pitcher. Campbell
Ut came to Harvard in tho full of 1880 practically
'f! tinknown. Uenshaw was the star catcher then
!' for the Crimson, and Campbell modestly triod
for somo othor place. When tho Harvard tram
'J went to Princeton for tho first cimoIul887,
tS Henshaw, by an accident, Dusnod his hand
W through a glass door and injured it no that bo
M could not catch. Campbell jumped into tbo gamo,
w and bis phenomenal playing prompted a cry of
p professional, " which waa entirely unwarrant-
Aff ea. Campbell was afterward sought after by
j the Boston League club, but he went Into bust-
EtC ness at Doston instead, tireenway, who raught
(H Carter at Yale, was another superb backstop,
fU who was highly praised by leading profession-
i'l als. Coogan was so clever that ho Is now a mem-
sj" berot the Providence Eastern league team.
Qat FInlay of Columbia, who caught the noted
S? pitcher Ayrnult moro than ten years ngo. was
$$k afterward signed by tho Now Yorks. Kafer of
ef' Princeton is considered the best college catcher
'! in the country to-day, and he Is only a sopbo-
H more at that.
WQ John T. Urush of the Cincinnati Club, who Is
JiJ, In favor of blacklisting ball players who uso
y, objectlonnble lunguage on tho Hold, und who
;fe believes that the players should ccaso kicking
' against the umpires, says that the niles, as
g they are printed in the book. If onforccd by tho
$ umpires, will put an end to all troubles. He
&.' alludes to tbls rule, which, he says, covers all
H the points at Issue:
3 nuleOO Section 1. The umpire Is the sole and ab
j& solute Judge of play. In no Instance slinll any xer-
4) . son, except the captains or tho cuntfietlnK loams, be
ty allowed to address him or question his decisions ond
f" "-" they (the captains) can nniy question hlmasiotlie
legal interpretation of the rules; ami they shall not
fee permitted to leave their proper pusttlnns In so do-
'1 Ins;, unless permitted by the umpire. The proper po
3"T- ' sltioatare: The coacher's box for the captain for the
EF side which Is at bat, and his regular Holding position

Wl, ottlotalof either club shall be permitted to po on tha
XglZ. field or address the umplro, under a penalty of a for-
wff tslture of a game.
S- This Is tho rule that Is constantly violated by
5f( players who are never punished by tho mag-
Yi nates. The Cincinnati man's " blacklist" rulo
ft Is covered by the following, though in sonic-
K what milder terms:
,tV llule SD. The umpire shall remove from the gams
& and the field any player guilty of Indecent or vulgar
' lantuage or conduct, and In addition thereto he shall
fth be requtretl to assess a fine of $35 against tho player
jijV so removed.
JM In the past whenever umpires havo enforced
fjx this rule, they have been generully upbraided by
(js club Presidents und protested to N, K, Young.
ft Another rulo that has caused troublo for tho
'r umpire Is tbts ono:
' llule eo Section 1. The umpire It dlrrotrd, and
it-' Instructed, to Impose a tine of not less thai (0, nor
J snore tkeu glO.durlUK tho progress of a game, us foi-

of his position udrnuedlu the rules. This, huwercr.
a: shall not deprive tha captain of either team from ap-
pealing to the umpire upon a question Involving a

i By Inflicting fines in accordance with this rule
'.; umpires heve brought down the displeasure of
'A various club owuors, l.o havo set the wires to
J Washington on tiro with requests for nn liuina-
& dlato removal of tho dutiful olllcials. Section 3
fj of this samo rulo is another causo of trouble.
It reads:
' If a player Is cullty of a second violation of this

PouanKCErstic Feb. 4. Flno weather nnd
splendid Ice contributed to tho on joyment or the
postponed events of the National Amateur
Bpoed Skating Association at Spring Lnko this
afternoon. The attendance wa good. McCul
Jocb, tho Canadian wonder, won tho quarter
mile championship of America. He clearly out
classed an ambitious and speodr Held. IIo was
not crowded nt all, except by Alfred Y. Morgan,
K. A. a, who fell Into his stride on the straights,
but could not catch tho Canadian's clover knack
of shaving tho posts on tho turns. Charles Mc
Cla o. N. Y. A. C, burled his chances In a snow
bank on the backstretch nnd did not qualify.
For Iho first boat in tho qiinrtermlle cham
pionship tho line-up was: Ulrastead, Ulbbs,
llellereullle, McDonald, and Paulding. Mc
Donald got thn bost of tho start nnd kept his ad
vantage to tho finish. Ilellefetillle, tho Itat
Portago man, nnd "Hnldy" O I bbs, tho New
burg wlroworker, had a pretty light for second
plnr, which resulted In Ulbbs's favor by a
small margin. Paulding swung out. too far
when ho turned Into tbo backstretch on tho first
lap and brought up In a snowbank. Tho second
honl brocght out McCulloeb, Morgan of
the Iv. A. C. winner of tho ona-mllo nnd
UUO-yard Interscholnstlo championships last
year, and McClave, N. Y. A. C holder of tho
twauty-tlvo milo amateur championship of
America. MciCulloch got undor motion at tho
Instant of the crack of tho pistol, and dropped
into first place, leaving Morgan and McClavo to
settle a rilsputu of somo standing as to which
was tho bettor man. Tho advantsgo for nearly
n lap rested with McClave, but no spoiled bis
Good work by running on the turns and on the
ickstretch shot off into n snowbank, and
landed on a cakooflco. Ab McClavo went down
Morgan jumped over him, thus saving hlmsolf
n fall. It was a stirring exhibition of agility
nu tho part of Morgan, who finished second to
McCnlloch.
Itnn aforegono conclusion that McCulloch
would win tho final heat, but his performance
was lookod for with interest, ns it was whis
pered that ho would try to bre-ik tho record.
The Canadian again got Oik bestof the start, nnd
on tho tlrst turn increased his lead. The finish
whs Intensely otcltlng. On the last stretch
MrCulIoch's bulky bleeps worked Ilko tho piston
rods of a locomotive, and Morgan, a yard be
hind, strove desperately to oloso up tho daylight
between himself and tho Canadian. Although
he held his own, bo could not gain an inch.
McCulloch won the heat, with Morgan second.
Ulbbs was plainly oxhnustcd, hut ho flnlshod in
tblrd place three yards bohlcd Morgan.
Jlrforo the event Qalbraith met with an
accident. While practicing ha ran into a ropo
that was stretched across tSo track and was
thrown backward with such force as to knock
him senseless. Ho was not dangerously hurt,
but was tnkin homo without dolay.
The half-mllo pursuit raco developed an ex
hibition of courage that was not down on tho
programme. McCulloch did not start, ana tbls
Icftn clear flold for the others. Ulbbs. wbo
looked 111, waporsuaded to go In and try for
first place. Ho wns matched against Bello
foullloln tho first heat, and so closely did the
two fight It out that nobody could pick tho win
ner. Olbbs won by n yard. McClavo and
Paulding wero matched In the second heat.
The contest was uneventful, as McClavo won
out by fifty ynrds. McDonald tried to qualify
against time, but failed. Tho final heat brought
out another display of Qlbbs's gaine qualities.
McClavo apparently overmatched blm. but tho
Nowburg champion clung to every Inch of gain
he could get. At tho finish of tho third lap
Ulbbs as he turned into the stretch was a yard
or two ahead. By n sudden rally and spurt ho
Increased this to four yards nnd cot over the
lino a winner. Ho fainted at tho finish. Sum

Women nnd children were unusually promi
nent yesterday at tho Poultry nnd Pigeon Bhow
In Madison Squaro Gardon. The nows that tho
chicks were hatching out by tho hundreds In tho
incubators seemed to bo tho magnet that had
attracted tho youngsters. Thore was a row of
llttlo tots beforu oach Incubator, whero they
pressed their faces against tbo glass to watch
the fledglings pop out of the shells, and, after a
mlnuto's rest to get tho socond wind, drop
down Into tho struggling flock of hatchllngs on
the lower shelf. Thero wns no cessation In tho
new arrivals, for tho Incubators had boen timed
to tho hour. It was a constant wondor to the
children.
" Oh I mamma I" cried out a wide-eyed, golden
haired llttlo girl. "Look, quick, and see the
eggs blossom little blrdlosl"
Tacro was a protost or tw o made, tha first ot
tho show, Ono was from tho pet stock men,
who aro Indignant because tho usual ribbon
havo not boen placed on tho boxes of tho prize
winning mice. Tho judging was finished on
Wednesday, and, although tho attention of the
Secretary has boen called to tho omission, there
Is nothing on the boxes to reveal how the awards
wero bestowed. Having opened classes for
mice, tho pet stock evhlbltors hold that tho
Poultry and Pigeon Association Is frosting
them with scant courtosy by withholding tho
ribbons.
The Light Brahma man also have a grievance.
The conditions of tho association's special 9100
cup state thnt It Is for tho best Brahma rock,
cockerel, hen, und pullet, owned by ono exhib
itor. As It happona there nro only four men
showing Dark Brahmas this yonr, whllo some
twenty fanciers havo Light Brahmas. Conse
quents Uio chnnccs against ono exhibitor scor
ing moro than ono or tno bluo ribbons in the
latter class wero much greater than for a
Dark Brahma man to make a sweep of
awards. Breeders of tha light-colored arlety
aro therefore aggflovod becauso a cup has not
been put up for each sort, Tho Dark Brahma
breedors say that the protost Is nonsense. " Only
onco in ten years," said one of them. " do tbe
Dark Brahma exhibitors win tho cup. Anyhow,
tho Light Brahma breeders have tho Diana Cup
to competo for, while wo only receive a chanca
for this special cup."
The judging of tho spcclos for tho exhibition
yards and slnglo birds was tho chief business ot
tho day. The different cups were displayed on a
stand at tho main entrance, a, vcrlublo Klon
dike In richness, while many wero artistic in de
sign as well as of intrinsic value
Undoubtedly tho yards of Light Brahmas
inako tbe best showing, both in numbers, for
there are ton in all, and In tbo quality of tbe
stock. Each rooster is in flno fettle, and ns lie
struts proudly nmong his four meek and admir
ing hens, assumes us many airs as tho drum
major leading a band. Tho white and buff
Wyandottes, the latter shown in yards for tho
first tlmo, aro alto u flno exhibit, Thero arc
also some notable yards of Brown Leghorns. Buff
Cochins, Barred Plymouth Hocks, nnd Black
Langshans.
Only seven of the COO exhibitors of poultry
and pigeons are women, yet they have won so
many prizes that the occupation proves Itself to
bo ono particularly adHptcd to tbe sex, Mrs. J.
0. Osborne, who won thrco blues and tho same
number of red ribbons with White Minorcas,
says that the business Is a profitable and pleas
ant one for women, and no farmer's wlfo will
make a mistake by taking up a strain of thor
oughbred poultry. Miss UT J. McCoun ot Oyster
Bav had a walkover with her Bluo Jerseys, and
Mlsa Kate Y. niggins. while sbo missod the
blue ribbon, won threo yellow ones In tho pit
game classes, ono of them with a cockerel sno
calls, according to a placard on tbo Den, "Cock
o lorum Van Wyck." Miss LLzzJe Qoodell of
Canastota won two firsts nnd a second prize
with Silver Dorklngs,whiIo Miss Selma Weiners
of College Point, wbo breeds poultry for plea
sure alone, won two firsts and a second with
Ilasccombed Black Bantams, while one lion won
threo specials, which Included a silver cup.
In pigeons Miss Ethol O. Hinds of Baltimore
won flvo bluo ribbons with tumblers, and Miss
Dorothea M. Keasbey, who is also a fanciorfor
pleasure alone, won threo second prircs with
pigmy pouters, very high honors when the high
quality of the class Is considered.
The most Important special award of tho day
was the disposition of tho $250 cup for tbo best
black Minorca cock, hen, cockerel, and pullet,
Tbe award was made by points, but tbo pens
counted two points. After a mooting, which
was protracted to a lato hour, tho judges
awarded the prizo to gantco & Cunningham.
An exciting mooting of the National Bantam
Club was held In the evening. It scorns that
among the bantam mon thoro is nn objection to
theruloottbo New York Poultry and I'igoon
Association, which states that when only four
entries nro shown In n class only tho second
prize will bo paid. Under the rulo tbo bantam
men tbls year havo paid to tho show $772 in
entrance fees In seventy-five classes, and ns

Unless something unforeseen happens, the

a memorable one for horsemen and tho thou
sands of outsiders who love to see good thor

unless tha dreaded " blue pencil " makes Its ap

April, ovory fixed event should bo signalized by
large and representative fields.
Entries aro still pouring in for tho Brighton
Beach stakes, and although the lists will ro
main open for a few days more, the aggregato Is
alrondy close to four figures. At Secretary
Bass's office yesterday It was learnod that
twonty-ono nominations are In for tho big event
ot tho programme, the Brighton Cup. This is
regarded as a surprising return In view of tho
fact that tho raco Is ovor the unusually long
dlstanco of two mllosnnd a quarter, and that
tho conditions practically bring all candidates
together on tho weight for age scale.
The first name on tbe unfinished list to catch
tho eye Is that of A. II. & D. Morris's The Friar,
who won tho event last year after a sensational
race with Jsre Dunne's Sunny Slope. The latter
Is also entered again, nnd tno presence of tho
pair should be a big oard In Itself. Howover,
as Tenderloin sportsmen say, "thore are others."
These Include iho Brooklyn Handicap winner

Succumbs ta Pueamtnts.
Saratoga, Feb. 4. William J. Fitzpatrick,
who had been a conspicuous figure on tbo Amor
ican turf slnco boyhood, died here this morning
from acuto pneumonia, with which ho was
stricken last Friday. He was born In Mount
Holly, N. J., 36 years ago, and began ns stable
boy for Pierre Lorillard when a more stripling.
Ho afterward began riding for Mr. Lorillard
and became one of the most prominent Jockeys
In the country, gaining tho expressive soubri
quet "Dare-Dovll Fitz" because of bis reckless
determination to bring his mount under the
wiro first. In hurdle races, when a mere
youngster, ho was particularly daring. Ho rode
for Michael Daly, Jr., Commodore N. W.
Kittson. Qideon & Daly, Ed. Corrigan, D. Swi
gert, Marcus Daly, James Murohy, and others.
Ono of his roost famous victories was ut the
Sheepshead Suburban when ho won on Trou
badour. Fitzpatrick is survived by hi father, a sister
residing at Bordentown, N. J., nnd a brother at
Buffalo. He waa a raomber of tbe Koyal Arca
num and tbe A. O. U.
Tho announcement of Fitrpatrlck's death,
which reached hero early yesterday, occasioned
widespread regret among local horsemen nnd
racegoers. In tho heyday of his fame as a
Jockoy, ha had earned almost as much prestige
hero as rurrounded the Into Fred Archer Tn
England. His early experiences were amoni; the
hard riding sot in the palmy days of Cedar
hurst, and it was there bo won the popular
sobriquet of "Dare-Devil Fitz," through his re
markable indifference to danger and hts pen
chant for rushing his horso over fences and
through " tight spots."
Fitzpatrick was a contemporary ot Jimmy
McLaughlin and "Snapper" Garrison, and the
noted trio had many a rousing battlo for su
premacy in important stake ovonts. Old timors
still recall with a thrill tho sensational race for
tho Suburban Handicap of 1880. when Fitz
patrick on Troubadour squeezed home in front
of Richmond, Savanao. and seventeen other
horses, and landed a fortune estimated at
$80,000 for Cnpt. S. Brown of Pittsburg. Fitz
patrick was engaged to ride Morello In the Fu
turity of 1801!, but Qideon & Daly objected and
Hay ward was put up Instead. This was a hard
blow for Fitzpatrick. ns Morello won from Lady
Violet and the St. Blaise Belladonna colt. In
Domino's year. 181)3, Fitzpatrick was up on the
other Keeoe entry, Hyderabad. Tho latter had
a very stormy passage nnd fell, while Domino
went on nnd won the noted "nose and noso"
victory, in which Galileo and Dobbins wero the
contending factors.

First Vice-President A. Cressy Morrison of
tho L. A. V who wns elected to offlco from tha
West last year, Is now located permanently in
this city, Mr. Morrison will attend the National
Assembly nt St. Louis next week and will sup
port I. B, Potter for reelection to tho
Presidency. As a member of the pres
ent Exocutlva Commlttoe, he has stud
ied closoly tho leading amendments that
will como up ot tho annual moetlng.
In talking with Tub Sun reporter yesterday
Morrison doclared that ho does not favor tho
election of national ofllcors by popular vote. He
aid:
"There is an enormous expense Involved.
Tho Idoa Is theoretically good, but practically I
fear It would bo difficult of execution,"
Ilegardlng tbo other loading amendments ho
said:
"I beliovo that tho Sunday racing movement
will be defoated again if brought up. You must
understand that the fact should not bo lost
sight ot that tho L. A. W. Is not a racing organi
zation. Its work Is directed to improved high
ways, rights and privileges of individual mem
bers and tbo collective good of all wheelmen.
Haolngisnn amusement feature. Tho Leaguo
rospects the general scntlmont, and Sunday
racing hns proved unpopular w hen undertaken."
"What Is your opinion of tho suggestion that
division officers should not hold ofhco In the na
tional organization 1" Inquired tbe reporter.
"Idonot think such a proposition Is calcu
lated to be ot any benefit and I am opposod to
the idea. Tho national body should not compel
a division to lose a good State officer becauso he
desires national recognition."
"Do you think tho national assembly will
voto to admit professionals to membership I"
asked tho reporter.
"Personally I am opposed to their admission.
Tbe U A. W. Is a purely amatottr organization,
and I think should maintain its rocord sb such.
The claim thnt thn Loaguo governs professionals
without according any representation to them
Is not. In my belief, an injustice. On tho con
trary tbo government of professional racing by
tho L. A. W. Is a direct benefit to tbe riders.
They aro protectod from Imposition by track
owners nnd race promoters and their wants gen
erally are looked after. These rumors of seces
sion nnd counter organization! if tbo L. A. W.
will not open Its doors to professionals aro mean
ingless, for they orlglnato among those who do
not fully comprehend the difficulties of tho un
dertaking. " I hoartily lndorso tbo Idea of making tbe
ofllco of Chairman of the Racing Board a sal
aried position. Under tho present custom he is
the recipient of a gratuity, Inasmuch as tho bal
anco In the Racing Board treasury is no w turned
over to the Chairman every year. The sugges
tion to make the ofllco elective would not strike
me as being bcnoflclal unless the heads of all
the committees wore made elective also. I nm
convinced thnt tho L. A. W. Is the only proper
organisation to control racing and formulate
rules for Its government. Tho Leaguo is su
preme in its jurisdiction over all cy
cling departments, and in its management
of racing derives no pecuniary benefits,
eo thnt nil its actions are upon a high
plane. If somo good association controlled by
reliable porsons could be formed, I would not op
pose turning over the control of tho sport to it.
But can such an organisation be formed on
amateur lines without n pecuniary basis?
"Tho amendment that will bo presented to the
assembly advocating cadet corps In the various
divisions I think is an excellent idea and one
likely to rcceivo strong support. The amend
ment in Its prcsont form is somewhat restrictive
regarding the rights and privileges ot cadet
membership, and I think it can bo made
broader."
Chief Consul G. H. Strong of the North Cali
fornia division of tho L. A. W., in n report
which will be presented nt tbe Leaguo meeting,
deals fully with tho cycling conditions on the
Pacific coast,
Somo extracts from bis report, which will In
terest League members and racing men, aro as
follows:
" Our present membership Is only one-third of
what It was before tho secession movement. Wo
find tho work of recruiting very difficult. Tho
success of the secession movement was due to
tbe Indifferent work of the old League officers.
With two or throe exceptions money has been
lost at every Sunday race meet nnd some of our
best clubs have been brought to a
condition of apathy, which is in
marked contrast to their former nctivlty.
Tho support of tbe movement was by no means
so undivided rs you havo been led to believe.
Track racing seems to havo been protty effec
tually killed for tho orosent, and it looks now na
If thero would be little dono this season. If
your body decides to favorably consider a
mossure looking to local option, such n measure
would largely destroy secession arguments and
reasons for the oxlstenco of nn organization in
opposition to the League."
The members of iho L. A. W. in this section
are anxious to hold tho annual Stato meet of
tho New York division bcro in Juno. Tho
question has been discussed by the ofllcersof
tho division, who think well of the suggestion,
ItlsJikch that tho Associated Cycling Clubs of
New York will take ud the question at tho an
nual meeting on Feb. 14, and arrango to submit
an application to tho division ofllccrs for tho
award of tho meet.
Bicycle dealers nro not disposed to offer large
discounts on second-hand wheels In exchange
for new mounts this j car. It has been custom
ary for riders. In selecting new wheels evory
yonr, to got allowances of 610 or 930 on old
wheels. Tho general reduction In the prico of
bicycles has atfectod the oxchango value Tbe
boards of trado In the largo cities have consid
ered tho subject of what is a proper allowanco
on second-hand wheels offered in exchange tor
now models, and tho limit has boen placed nt
