THE NEW SUMMER RESORT.
Camden-on-1 l»*-Gaul«y and It* Heautlful
Scenery—A riMt-Cla** Hotel.
Serial ItUaram to iht Roguiir.
Camden-ox-the-Gauley, W. Va.»
June 10.—An excursion party, consist
ing of E. Ralston, Hon. W. B. McGary,
W. S. Taylor, Jr., James Burns, John
Morrison, J. S. Mitchell, A. M. Lane,
Superintendent West Virginia and
Pittsburg Railroad; C, Brown, John T.
Hughes, J. S. Vandervert, Frank G.
Gallagher, Mayor N. B. Newlon, Post
master Anderson, and J. B. Brannon,
of Weston, and Dr. Morrison,
of Sutton, came In this
afternoon, and are stopping at
the Camden. They are all pdeased with
the new hotel, the Camden, lately
erected and newly furnished through
out by Senator Catidem in the most
modern and luxurious style, making it
a veritable Aladdin palace transferred
to the wilds of West Virginia.
It is 2,500 feet above the level of the
sea, nestling against the stupendous
mountaius on the banks of the beauti
ful and iimpid Gauley.
Too scenery is unsurpassed In Its
beauty and is strikingly like the Yellow
stone region of Montana. It far excels
that of the Cheat river, and is
noted for the wild simplicity of
its grandeur being entirely undeveloped
ai.d still in its primeval beauty.
The hotel is managed by Mr. William
P. Rathbone, of Parkersburg, who Is
known to be a connoisseur in the art and
one of the most genial men one would
wish to meet. The hot sulpnur water
of Webster Springs is on draught at the
hotel and is brought fresh from the
springs daily by a hack line which is
run in connection with the hotel, it be
ing only thirteen miles distant.
Senator Camden acd party left here
yesterday and will soon return to spend
a few weeks during the heated term,
accompanied by genoral Spillman and
family, of Parkersburg; Johnson Cam
den and family, of Kentucky, and Col.
Badger Brown and family, of Balti
more.
The hotel bids fair to rival Deer
Park, and the most famous summer re
sorts of the country.
No expense Is being spared in making
the resort one of the most attractive
and perfect of amusement centers. Ar
rangements are now being made to have
a first classorchestra, and the Thursday
hops are being looked forward to with
a great deal of anticipation and pleas
ure. The Wheeling Keuistbr arrives
here at 5 p. m. daily.
The Valkyrie Wine Another Race.
Loxrox, June 10.—Another yacht
race took place to-day, in which the
Prince of Wales’s cutter Brittania and
Lord Dunraven’s Valkyrie, which will
be the English contestant for the Amer
ica’s cup, took part. The course was
from the Nord lightship, which lies be
tween the Mapliu Sands and Sheppey
Island, marking the entrance to the
river Thames, to the Straits of Dover.
The Brittania arrived first at Dover,
but the Valkyrie won the race on time
^allowance. The Valkyrie Is a smaller
Cssel than the Brittania, and the latter

SPORTS AND SPORT.
athletics and horses will bb busy this
MONTH.
The Chicago Whist Congress—“Cavendish" Wil1
Show His Shill There—Gossip About the Ladies’
Tennis Championship, American Derby, Sub
urban Handicap and Two New British Yachts
The month to come will be a busy
one In various branches of sport. Gen
eral athletics, whist, tennis, yacht
ing, rowing, bicycling, horse racing,
homing pigeon contests and crlbbage
playin g are a few of the sports and
games that will engage tho -t

tention of their respective devotees.
Oueof the great athletic events of the
near future will bo the annual, indi
vidual all round championships of the
United States at New York, June 28.
Since the retirement of such great ath
letes as Malcolm VV. Ford and A. A.
Jordan, who held this championship be
tween them for seven years and who
furnished many a contest of absorbing
Interest, less attention has been paid to
the all round competition.
La«i year M. O’Sullivan, of the Xa
vier Athletic club. New York, won the
event. Not long ago he joined the
New York police force, and his duties
as "one of the finest” may prevent him
from defending his title this month.
Among the probable contestants are D.
Long, of Boston, and EL El. Morrell,
George Schwegler, E. W. Goff and J.
J. Moonev, of New York. Last year
Morrell was second to Champion O’Sul
livan.
Lovers of games that require head
work alone will be Interested in the
great whist congress at Chicago five
days, beginning June 20, and the meet
ing of the National Cribbage Association
at Lima, 0., June 18. Th6 features of
the whist congress will be the attend
ance of “Cavendish,” the world famous
authority on tho game. Elis real name
is plaiu Henry Jones, but he har forgot
ten more about whist than many al
leged experts actually know. That Mr.
Jones is broad-minded and never consid
ers himself too old to learn Is shown by
the fact that only a few yearsago ho be
came a convert to the system of “Amer
ican leads” originated by Nicholas B.
Trist, of New Orleans.
The promoters of the congrese, which
will be the largest ever hold, are plan
ning to have Messrs. Jones and Trist
contest with two of the strongest meu
who attend the sessions and show tho
beauties ot their favorite styles of play
in difficult situations, especially ar
ranged for tho occasion. 1 he congress
will be held at the Chicago Whist club,
aud it is expected that 25 clubs will en
ter teams for the iorrest Championship
cup. Uuder the rules arranged by J.
T. Mitcbeli, of Chicago, each team will
be compelled to play the hands of Its
competitors. The consideration of luck
will thus be eliminated from the con
test, and every team will stand on Its
merits alone, for the reason that it will
have to flgbt with the same weapons as
it opponents,
Dali Lock of Waterloo, Ind., is presi
dent of the Nationaf Cribbage associa
tion, George Pfander of Defiance O., is
vice-president, and C. E Uteley of War
saw, Ind., is secretary and treasurer.
The feature of the association’s meet
ing will be the contest for a diamond
badge.
In tho tennis world woman will skill
fully wield the racket this month. The
annual tournament of tho fair sex will
be held at Philadelphia, beginning June
20. Tho presont lady champion of
America is Miss Mabel E. Cahill, of the
New York Tennis Club. Miss Cahill Is
a plucky young Irish girl, who has only
been in this country about three years,
but who was as quick to distinguish
herself on our tennis courts as her
countrymen are to rise in American
politics. She captured the natioual
singles championship for ladies In the
very first tournament she entered. She
has held the title two years and will
again defend It at Philadelphia.
Miss Cahill’s most formidable oppo
nent will undoubtedly he Miss Bessie
Moore of the Hohokus Valley (N. J.)
Tennis club. She won tho all comers
ladies’ singles last year, challenging
Miss Cahill for the championship and
made a most creditable but unsuccess

ful attempt to wrest away the laurels
of the young Irish miss. Miss Moore
played & cool, steady game, and her
back haud strokes were particularly
telling, but Miss Cahill’s terriffic volley
ing was a puzzle she failed to solve.
The doubles championship last year
was won by Miss Cahill and Miss Mc
Kinley, and the mixed doubles by Miss
Cahill and Clarence Hobart. On June
28 the middle states championships will
be held at Orange, N. J.
This will be the most memorable sea
son for yachtsmen since the last race
for the America’s, cup in September,
1887, when our swift Volunteer ran
away from tbe Scotch Thistle and set
tled the fattf of tbe international trophy
for six more years. The yacht clobs of
the gulf of Mexieo will practically open
the season Jane 17 with the first an

29. The great contest for the Ameri
ca’s cop between Lord Donraven’s
yacht Valkyrie and one of tbe fonr
Yankee cap defenders that are now be
ing built do not occur until October, but
the trials of tne Valkyrie abroad are al
ready attracting much attention. She
is a very swift yacht, but by no means
tbe fatest on the other side. She has
already been beaten by her sister ship,
the Britannia, owned by the Prince of
Wales. Lach boat was designed by G.
L. Watsou aod clearly resembles the
other.
Tbe Brittannia carries 74 tons of lead
in her bulb-shaped keel and spreads an
immense stretch of canvas. Hor length
over all is 122H feet; length on the
load water line, 86 feel; extreme beam.
24 feet. She carries a crew of 24, and
is commanded by Captain John Carter,
who sailed the Genesta in her races
with the Puritan.
Tho Callum, the Scotch yact that
will endeavor to prevent the Yankee
yacht Navahoe from recapturing the
Cape May and Brenton’s reef cups that
were won on this side years ago by
British yachtsmen, was designed by
William Fife, Jr., and is owned by
Peter Donaldson and other Glasgow
merchants. She is about 124 feet over
all and 85 feet on the load water line.
She has 70 tons of lead In her keel, and
like the Brittannia and Valkyrie is a
first-class cutter. She has already
shown fast work, and will be a formid
able antagonist for the Navahoe.
The great aquatic event of June will
be the Yale-Harvard university boat
race at New London, Conn., on tbe 30th.
Both crews are working hard and feel
confident of victory. \ ale won ihe 4
mile race last year, and Harvard for the
first time In six years crossed the finish
ing line ahead In 1891,
Franklin G. Appley, one of the well
known scullers of the Pawtucket, R. I.,
Boat clnb, rejoices In the possession of
a 28-pound aluminum shell, which is
the only one ever entirely made of this
metal, It is said. Its length overall is
31 feet 8 inches, extreme beam 10^
inches and depth inches. Lach end
of the shell contains a water-tight com
partment. Appley will attempt to row
the entire distance to tho World’s lair,
and as ho has already rowed from Paw
tucket to New York and back in a 30
pouud cedar shell he may succeed.
Appley has named the novel little shell
“Little Rhody.”
Two of the greatest racing events of
tho year are scheduledfor twoof June s
rare days. The Suburban handicap
will be run at Shocpsliehd Bay Juno
20. It is a raco foY horses of all ages
and will be worth about 520,000 to the
winner. Lamplighter, the beaten
favorite of the Brrokly handicap, will
carry the top weight of 127 pounds.
Among the other cracks entered are
Tammany, Banvuet, Judge Morrow,
Dr. Hasbrouck, Charade, Raceland; the
winner of the recent Metropolitan
handicap, will carry only 105 pounds
and should show up well in front at

over 100 other swift runners are being
worked dally for the banner turf event
of the season. Lookout, winner of the
Kentucky Derby, G. W. Johnson. Don

1IK MAY CONTEST AT CHICAGO.
Harold Wade, the Champion English Ban
ner, and Hit Record.
A swift English runner who may
visit America this year and compote at
the World’s Fair championships,Is Har
old Wade, the
champion 1-mlle
runner of Great
Britain. Although
for years, a cricke
ter of note, Wade
has only been pos
ing as a short dis
tance runner for
about a year, but
almost at a bound
he reached the
very pinnacle of
fame in England.
For years, how
harolp wade, ever, Wade has been
one of the best long distance runners
on the British paths. In the Lea Har
riers 10-mile championships he finished
first six times, and five of his victories
were in succession. lie ran against Ox
ford and Cambridge 15 times and fin
ished first in 13 of the contests.
Having established a great reputation
as a cross country runner, Wade turned
his attention to shorter distances in
1891. and to his surprise finished second
in the half mile amateur championship
race. Early in 1893 he ran against H.
A. Heath for the mile challenge cup and
won in 4 minutes 31 3-5 seconds. A
short time later he defeated Lutyens,
Cambridge sprintar, In the very fast
time of 4 minutes 27% seconds. On May
7 he broke the %-mtle record made by
L. E. Myers by three-fifts of a second,
covering the distance in 3 minutes 12 2-5
seconds. This was getting near the
world’s record of 3 minutes 7 seconds by
W. Richards of Manchester 27 years
ago. He finished this season by win
ning the English mile championship In
j 4 minutes 19 1-5 seconds (the world’s
record is 4:12%, held -by W. G. Georgo)
| and tne half mile championship. Wade
Is 27 years of age. He is not yet in his
j best form and has been twice beaten
this season.

MARINI’S NELSON.
There were 350 entries, and 300 men
started. Nelson is only 19 years old
and was born at Grand Island, Neb.
He Is 5 feet 10>* Inches tall and weighs
135 pounds. He is employed in a drug
store and has been riding a bicycle four
years. He rode a wooden rim March
wheel weighing 243^ pounds and train
ed faithfully for the race, riding ten
miles a day.
Like Nelson, Carl von Lengerke.
winner of the Irvlngton-Milburn road
race the same day in New Jersey, has
achieved fame at a bound. Von Len
gerke, the youngest of ten children,
was corn in Oldenburg, Germany, July.
1867. He comes of a family of marks
men and is himself a very good shot.
He has been riding a wheel about twelve
years. His novice race on the wheel
was at Manhattan field in 1992, in
which race he got only sixth place in
the heai. At the 25-mile Irviugton
Milburn race he started at the 7-minute
mark and made the distance lu 1 hour,
18 minutes 3eK seconds, winning
against a field of over a hundred of the
best riders in the country.
BlcrdUt Harding:, of St. Louis.
St. Louis possesses a very swift bicy
clist in the person of A. G. Harding,
the pluck young rider who recently cap
tured the time prize in tho Porest park
road race at St. Louis, although he
started from scratch against Frank
Waller, J. B. Bliss, George K. Barrett,

the course record of 1 hour and 40 min
utes, but he finished In 57 minutes 10
seconds owing* to the pace set by Mun
ger. Charles Kindervatter, the fleet
Kansas City rider, was a close third in
57 minutes 11 seconds. C. F. Mulkey,
of St. Louis, who had the benefit of a
10-minute handicap, won the race. His
actual time was 1 hour 4 minutes and 10
seconds. Harding’s victory over Mun

demonstrates that he Is a most promis
ing long distance rider.
McDafTet, the Twenty-rive Mile Cham
pion.
There Is a new king of road racers,
and his name Is E. A. McDuffee. In &
rec«nt trjal agalqstjlma over the 25
“ " 'mile Linscott
road race course
□ear Boston Mc
Duffee covered
the distance in 1
hour and 13 min
utes and 55 2-5
seconds, which
was nearly four
minutes better
than the Ameri
can record of 1
hour 17 minutes
and 11 seconds
made by Hoy
land Smith over
E. A. M’prFVEK. the Irvlngton
Mlliburn course
in New Jersey. There is an English
record of 45 seconds better than the per
formance of McDuffee, but It is not au
thentic, and the general Impression pre
vails In athletic circles that Mcuunse is
actually the 25-mlle champion of the
world.
McDuffee was accompanied by swift
pace makers and seemed very little dis
tressed at the finish. The elme was ta
ken by three watches and will nndoubt
ly.be accepted as the American record.
McDuffee Is a finely proportioned young
athlete. He is 5-feet 8 Inches tall,
weighs 150 pounds and is 22 years of
ago. He Is an all round athlete of abili
ty, and althouge he has been riding a
wheel only two years he has done re
markable work. He has ridden under
the colors of the Manhattan A. C. and
the Press Cycling club of Boston, but
be now belongs to the Malden (Mass.)
Bicycle club. His best time for a mile
in competition Is 2 minutes 24 seconds,
but during this brief career as a racing
man he has defeated some of the swift
est second rate riders in America.

the direction of the department of agri
culture was to have been held Juue 12
to 17, but has been postponed until Sep

readiness for the event before the date
mentioned. James Mortimer, of New
York, superintendent of the Westmln
ter Kennel club, will direct the show in
September.

A Blight .UUtruler*t«n<llug.
He had just received a letter from
his son at college, and was reading it
aloud to his famlty, when he came to
thl6 passage:
“I am taking lessons In fencing, and
as the fee must be paid in advance will
need another remittance-”
Wa’al, now, ?that do beat all.” said
the old mao, ’’whaton alrth does any
body need to take lessons In fencing
for, I’d like to know? I’ve been fen
cing for forty years and never had to go
to college to learn how.”
“But times have changed father,"
said his wife, "fences ain’t made as they
used to was when we cl!m them In Root
Hollow.”
“That’s so,” said the old mao. “Ed
don’t say ef Its a wire fence or a rail
one, but I reckon he’ll larn both ways.
But I vnm, I never expected a hov of
mine would hev to go to college to learn
fencing. It do seem queer.”
Then he wrote out auother check and
forwarded It by tho next mall.

“Don’t you know me?” paid a tall,
angular youth, with grimy, callous
bands, as be stood before tbe managing
editor of tbe Philadelphia Press few
days ago,
“Can’t say that I do. Who arc you?”
queried the editor.
“Why, say, yer ought to r’member
me,” said the youth dejectedly. “I’m
Gallagher. ”
“What?” exclaimed the editor, jump
up and grabbing tbe visitor's baud.
“You, Gallagher? Wo!!, I wuudu’t
have knowD you.”
“Yes, it’s me. I don’t seem to know
anybody also about here, though,” re
plied me smiling youth.
“Well. Gallagher, you ought to go
and see Dick Davis—Richard Harding
Davis, you know—you about made hit
fortune."
“Me—what, me?” answered the youth,
very much puzzled.
“Why, yvs; didn’t you ever hoar any
thing about It? Well, be wrote a story
about you in a magazine which gave
him a big send of! aud a big reputation.”
“Thai’* a new one on me," said Gal
lagher. “What was tho story called,
sir?’
“Gallagher.”
“My name?"
a “Yes. Say, Gallagher, Davis ought to
do something nice (or you. He'*
editor of Haroer’s Weekly now, yoo
Know. You better look him up. ily
tho way, Gallagher, what are you doing
now?”
“Werkln In a mill. Makln SI a day
wheu I work, but laid otT half tho time,
sir.”
After a little moro desultory conver
sation Gallagher left.
The youth was ouoo office boy of tho
Pheltdelphla Pit## when Mr. Davit
was connected with that paper and
Gallagher was the hero of tho story In
Serlbers Magazine, entitled ‘Galla
gher,” n’ whieb caused such wldesnread
comment and raised the young author
to the top of tho story writers of his
