In the afternoon, after driving a practtco ball well over the bunkor. his (second try that counted was topped Into the hazard and the hole cost him a 7 Playing tho long hole ho needed three to pass the road, fretting bad lies on two brassey shots The 10I0 cost him 8 but otherwise Ting's game was very steady, and he ended the round with 88 Harrlman had Douglas for a partner, tho two tlelng with 8J In the morning and 84 in the afternoon. Harrlman led Douglas In the morning by four strokes until the eighteenth tee. This home hole is an invari able 3 or 4 for him. but ho topped into the sand pit, and, taking 7 to hole out, could only finish all square with tho amateur champion. "How did it happen?" satd Harrlman afterward, re-echoing the question. "Why. that littlo black caddie ran up to me on tho tee to show mo all the money he had earned. The boy's quaint talk. In rejoicing over hia luck, made me laugh, nnd I came down on the ball as though I was trying to chop It Into halves " It was an object lesson on the Importance ot keep ing mind and eye on the ball. beginning the second round Harriman over played his second shot into the road back of thogreeu. The hole, cost him 7. and marred an otherwise fine card. Douglas overplayed the second green Into the bunker in the morn ing, but got the hole In 4. In tho afternoon he just missed clearing the sand pit on this hole The second shot, hit hard with the objoet of gottingout regardless ol anything else, carried over the bunker back of the green, bulDouglas recovered by a brilliant mashle approach and again secured tho holo In 4.

Holllns s Yon tho second In the afternoon was due to n failure, to carry tho sand pit. and on the eighth he tost a stroke by getting Into the road on his socond Travis waa oven steadier than Douglas, for he mude no bad mistakes which necessitated a surpassingly good recovery. Tho hand that waa struck by n golf hall on Sunday at Oak laud was a little stiff on the starting holo of each round, affecting tho mashle shots so that the hole cost him a 0 euuh time. Hut. once warmed up. the hand was not a hindrance, and Travis played up to his gamo thoroughly. Ho had mit three 7s. each caused by losing a Btroko on a par 5 hole bv Setting a cutpy lie for tho brassey after a good rlvo liobblns was decidedly off his game and hhould do better to-day.

For several days thoro have bn7rumors running ovor the surface of the cycle trade I o the eflect that all negotiations for forming a bicycle trust had boon called off and that there would be no Z combination of manufactur ers. Yesterday A. O Hpaldlng. who has been engineering the formation of the trust, was questioned concerning the ru mors. He declined to mako any statement concerning the exact status of the plans at present, but said ho could bo quoted em phatically to the offoct that there was no truth In the rumors that negotiations had ceased E. C. Bald is now In New York, attending to a few business matters before beginning ac tive training It was his Intention to go to Louisville and train on the lountaln terry track, which has been opened again to tne outlaws" since Kimball was excluded, but Bald says lie may change his mind and train nt the Berkeley Oval track. In this city ltul ways takes Bald some time to becomo "lit." and ho doos not expect to do any raolng beforo the second week In June Match races will o;cupv his time largely, but he will follow the Orand Circuit of tho N. C A . whleh will start In July and terminate In heptember It has been Bald'a ambition for some time to go abroad, but he d silked the Idea of giving up being the champion hero. HoMiought. he would go this spring, however, but ban decided to wait until fall. Regarding his European trip and the affairs of the Racing Cyclists' Union, of which he is President. Bald said . "It was my Intention to have rn;J.In Eu rope thls.season.ibut owing to the Incomplete arrangements for international recognition of tne N.C. A.. I will defer my visit rather than pay a flno to the L. A. . Bv next fall, vv hen I will cross, the N (' A. will have demonstrated to the I. C. A Its thorough control of the sport in this eountr). Even il tho L. A.

A . for we bellevo that our Interests and the welfare oHthn sport will bo most satisfactorily looked after by the new body Of course, every movement will disclose a few traitors, but the percentugo of backsliders in the union has been extremely small." Owing to the reduced prices of bleules a great manv persons now.btiy whels for cash who would not do so when tho price was $100 or more There is, however, ajlarge amount ot Installment business ht III being done, and it ha Its troubles tho same as over, Isuillv the trouble In connection with Installment sales Is visited upon the dealer, but It 1h not al ways so. as id shown by the sad story of a man who has been riding for several years lie says tint he nover bought a wheel except for iash before this yene and never tvlll again, but thlssnrlnc helwns "haidlup" and bought n good wheel on the partial payment plan He had It only two wecl when It was stolen fiom in front of a store, the thief being unseon nnd the hope of recovery not worth entertaining. I His loss did not affect his contract with tho dealer, though, and he has to pay every month for tho wheal some one else Is enjovlng. Ho sass It Is tho worst case of "paying for a dead horse" that he over experienced. In tho contracts made with buyers of wheels on the Installment Plan It is stipulated that in default ot pa ment the dealer mav seize the wheel whetever It Is and may. in faot. walk Into a house and take it provided force as not used, , Under one such agreement n Hrooklin rider recently received a nice opportunity to walk home from a hotel about twenty miles out on the Merrick road. Two men. both riding wheels, took his wheel from the rac'c In front of tho hotel, which had no cheeking system, nnd In spite of expostulations rodo away, with one man leading the lecovered whoef. One man waa the dealer who had sold the wheel, and the other was n deputy iherlff, or, at least, he auod the part of one They had In some way learned of his intentions for tho rldo nnd had followed him, waiting for a time whon they i ould seize the wheel without using force. The rider admitted that ho had not paid for tho cycle, but he thought It was a very sharp practice to take It from blm on tho road when he did not have enough In his pocket to nny ruilroad fare, and he had sympathizers nmong those who witnessed the incident. This Is a new wrinkle on the part of installment dealers, and ns It appears to be perfectly legitimate, riders of installment wheels should take no tice nnd cither keep paid up or olsenotleav their wheels alone, even for a minute.

In England the leading professional riders are maktng testa with motor pacing. Several trials were recently held on the Crxdal Palace track which were deemed highly satisfactory A petroleum tandem was used, behind which K W Chlnn went two miles In 4 minutes 1 1 seconds 11 Palmer rode flvo nllcs in li min utes 24 seconds Tho ilders experienced no difficulty in holding the motor'team. and It Is expected that this st) lpof pacing will icsult in the creation ot new records at all distances this season. Tho Associated Cjellnc Clubs ot New York steered sntel) between tho rocks of jealousy nnd the whirlpool of dissension last night by voting not to hold any race meet this year. Thlawas done at a special meeting that was tense nnd full ot nervous energy from the time the delegates began to arrlto at the hall, corner of Fifty-eighth streut and eighth avenue There was a stir of pro-rnco meet men and antls who vvero lobby ing before the meeting, and It was plain that the Importance of the matter was appreciated by all. Had the Influential as sociation of clubs decided to hold a meet It would have had to do so under either L. A. W. or N. C. A. rules, nnd thereby glvo Its support to ono or tho other of the conflicting organiza tions. Tho local hondlcapper of tho l A. .. accompanied by James Towen. was early on tho scene, and It was soon an open secret that a telegram from President Keenan of tho Ij. A. W , had been received offering to back the clubs if thoy held an I,.A W moet The llaco Com nil'teo. which had strongly favored an U A. W. race meet, held a long consultation with thp I A W official nnd entered the meeting Into primed with assurances which they wore up. nble to offer Tho clubs voted down the Idea of a race meet, not because thoy favored or feared either the 1 A or N C, A . hut becauso tho chilis vvero Individually divided In tliolr opin ions on the racing situation It was a matter of expediency to keep out of tho broil and prevent dlesenalon In the association. Although the llaco Committee and somo of tho other clubs represented wero In lavorof oneortho other body seeking raco control, thoy all fell In lino with the idea of not favoring either one. nnd the sixteen clubs present voted unanimously that no race meet should tako placo. Tho dis cussion which resulted la this voto was trenchant nnd spirited, with passages showing Plainly that any other kind ot a voto would havo made trouble. NOTES.
