J.; Regica.d M r rlman, Blast Orange, N. J. Bach of the above has made a claim for a meritorious ride medal for century ridden under difficult and distressing circumstances May 15 1898. This century was ridden under t!-.e auspices of the New \ork division C. T> (* 'ogood township, in Canada, Is the fir--t' municipality in North America to prohibit bicycle riding. At a recent town meeting the city council voted to forbid cycle riding withn the town limit*- The claim was made tnat the wheels frightened the farmers' horses. If an attempt is made to enforce the law it will probably be carried into the courts, and it is believed that the action will be declared invalid. Tho national L.. A. W. meet at In fllanapolis, Aug. 9 to 13, will undoubt , [ly be the greatest gathering of wheelmen that ever took place in this country. The Indiana wheelmen have been making extensive preparations for the evr-nt, and the fact that the United States government" has decided that Canadian wheels, when accompa ried by owners, may be passed across 1 1 ■ line free of duty. This will douht le?.- attract a large number of Canadian wheelmen. The following cycling stars tvill appear at the national meet: Ed fli( Bald, Jimmy Michael, Tom Cooper, Ti m Linton, Arthur Gardiner, -Maj. Taylor, Earl Kiser and E. A. McDuffie. It is said that Eddl-*- Bald and Jimmy Michael, the middle distance champion. Will take to horse racing as a liveli hood next year. They will purchase a striiisr of fast horses, under the name of Michael and Bald, and enter them at some of the Southern tracks next season. Bald already owns several blood od horses. There is an unusual number of ladies d< ing centuries this year. Last Sunday The Globe published the names of a half dosen St. Paul women, who had dene centuries with their husbands. It looks as if the fair sex were ln a good way to catch up with some of their more sturdy companions in the matter of century riding. Teddy Edwards, the Philadelphia rider, is still riding 100 miles a day on his original chainless wheel. After fin ishing his 200lh century at Chicago l.c will visit other Eastern cities. He will, however, abandon his effort long enough to attend the Indianapolis race meeting in August. A. C. Mertens, of St. Paul, the na tional five-mile champion, is still do ing fast work on the national circuit. Mertens will make his first public ap pearance in a persuit race next week at the Woodside track, Philadelphia. He is quite popular with the Eastern circuit habituces and will probably car- Ty off another long distance champion ship before the season closes. it has been stated on what is un questionable authority that St. Paul will be given several national circuit races next year. Guy Torley the popular trick bicycle rider, is .practicing several new tricks. His latest is said to be that of riding a wheel with the tires detached over a slack wire in mid-air. Every night last week Como was well patronized by wheelmen of the two cities. It frequently happens that there are as many Minneapolis riders at the resort in the evening as those from St. Paul. The music seems to have alluring charms for those who ride bikes. An experienced rider says that in his experience hill climbing affords- the best practical test of the qualities of a bicycle. Coasting contests, while show- Ing up the bearings well, do not cover the other vital parts. Out of 140 accidents which took place ln the Montmatre quarter ln Paris, the most traveled street in the Parisian metropolis, only ten had cyclists con cerned in them, and of these only one was of a dangerous nature. Three men are now really ln the race in the contest for the national cyoling championship. The half is near at hand and important changes may be made In the relative positions of the three before the season has closed. Many men have it that the race lies between Gardiner and Cooper, and that Bald is out of the race. They base this In Id abortion on the showing made by the champion up to the present time, and apparently forget that there is much of the Spanish grit in Bald and will never give up while there remains a fighting chance. Gardiner and Cooper are the real fighters at the present time. Their positions show this, for both are far ahead of Bald, and Gard iner has one more point that Cooper and Bald put together. But it is Gardiner, Cooper and Bald that make open assertion that the championship is their game, and their fight for this great honor is their sole aim in life now. The score stands as follows: Gardiner, 5S points; Cooper, 3b points, and Bald 22 points. One of the greatest annual bicycle races in the world Is the Grand Prix, of Germany, to be ridden this year on Aug. 14, 15 and 10. on the Kuffersten uamm track in Berlin, and will have $4,000 in prizes divided in several ses tlons. The first prize is $2,000 and the second for $750. The success of the Intercity meet at Lexington park, while in point of at tendance was not all that could be de .-•.lred, was eminently satisfactory to all who saw or participated in the races. The Laurels will bring another race off early in August. The satisfactory man ner in which the club has managed ail its undertakings has given it great prestige with the racing men, and any thing which the club takes hold of will receive the solid support of the "hik ing fraternity." The August meet will l>e arranged so as to give novices a special opportunity to compete under favorable circumstances. The Capital Cities include in their membership rolls some of the most sub stantial riders in the city. There is a strong probability that the club will hold some of the slate road records be fore the season elo«*?s, as the members spend nearly all their spare time in road riding, and several of the fast professionals from Minnesota now on the national circuit are members of the Capital City Cycle club. The cycle races at Lexington park next Wednesday morning, given as a part of the corner stone festivities, will undoubtedly prove a popular depaiture fiom the usual style of bicycle meets. Without entrance or entrey fee for the participants or spectators, the lace will assuredly attract a large crowd. The races will commence promptly at 10:3) a. m., and will continue just one hour." There will be two professional and two amateur events. Ten dollars in prizes will be hung up for each race, divided into three sections, $5, $3 and $2, as re wards for the three finis''iing first. The cash prizes do not apply to the amateur events, as they will be siven merchan dise orders of any local firm bhey may select to the amount of their prize. The professional events will be, one mile open and two-mile handicap, and a three-mile handicap a*rateur. A'i ama teur lap race will be the fourth event. This is a new wrinkle in bicycle racing and will at least give the spectators some exciting finishes. The winner of each lap will be given $1, this practical ly means that there will be six finishes in the two-mile race. Another bicycling feature of the car nival next week, will be the bicycle pa rade Thursday evening, on Sixth street. Five dollars will b? awarded to the owner of the best decorated wheel, and $2.50 to the next in order. The same amounts in prizes will be given tha most unique wheel, and the best drill ed club of ten or more will receive $5. Tom Bird has the parade and races in charge. The Century Road club has provid ed another delightful run for next Sun day. It will be a short one, only twenty-nine miles, to Lake Prairie farm, a charming resort near Lake ville, Minn. The cycle clubs will be especially urged to join the party with their lady friends. The time limit of eight miles an hour is made so as to induce the ladies to take the trip. Archie Matheis, the local centurion, will have charge of the St. Paul dele gation, and further details may be ob tained from him. The past week has seen the comple tion of the Bald Eagle- White Beat path, by the county, the final work on the Cleveland avenue path by the Cy cle Path association, the repair of the South St. Paul path, and the beginning of a new strip by the city on East Sixth street. This latter path is an important undertaking, as it will be of great service to the people on Dayton's bluff. The path will start from the Sixth street bridge and extend to Ma ple street. When completed it will be the best route to the Indian mounds and many of the other paths in East St. Paul. This path would have be^n begun by the city much earlier in the season, but for the uncertainty about paving East Seventh street. When it was definitely determined not to pave, the superintendent of the cycle paths immediately took up this work. P. E. Low, secretary of the Cycle Path association, again calls attention to the fact .that he needs some of the aluminum tokens for immediate use and has none on hand. The collectors who have more badges than they can dispose of are reo.uested to turn them over to him at once. Three Minneapolis boys rode to Omaha by wheel and were at the ex position for Minnesota day. The boys were C. D. Kimball, R. W. Little and A. Gluck. They spent a week on the road, making a pleasure trip of the ride of 450 miles. They report a most en joyable outing and say that they found good roads in Minnesota and Nebras ka, but rather bad in lowa. The long est day's ride made was 110 miles. While "in Omaha they are the guests of S. B. Lake, superintendent of the pos tal station. The run to Lake Prairie farm Is starting up with a rush, and the pro moter, A. Matheis, local centurion of the Century Road club, i 3 well pleased with the way evey one is taking hold and pushing it. One feature of the run that will make it a success Is that all that have been asked to join in the run have been asked to make a party up of their friends and join in the main run, which will start from Seventh and St. Peter streets, at 7 a. m., Sunday, next, and at a pace not to exceed eight miles an hour, will proceed to Westcott. Rosemount, and then eleven miles to Lake Prairie farm, where a large din ner will be served, exclusively to the party, for the nominal sum of :"5 cents. Another feature of this run -..ill be the high class of riders that have made the Century Road club In Minnesota what it is. Fully fifteen ladies have already signified their intention of making the run, and it is throught^that fully 100 ladies and gentlemen will stait on this most delightful trip. Any one wishing to make up a party - f their own and wishing to join the C. R. C. for that day will be invited on application to the local centurion, at 268 Nelson avenue. The Capital City, as well as Laurel and White Flyer cycle clubs, have all been asked to make their run with the •C. R. C. for that day, and everything looks very favorable in , that direction. It Is hoped the members of these clubs will make It a point to bring as many ladles with them as possible. Lake Prairie farm Is a delightful summer resort near Lakeville, Minn., just twenty-nine miles from this city, a large pavilion and dining room has Just been erected on the shores of the lake, which will seat 100 people. The roads leading from St. Paul are very fair at this time of the year. MICHAEL BEAT LINTON. Little Demon Handily Won Twenty- Five Mile Paced Race. NEW YORK, July 23.— Jimmy Michael mot Tom Linton, of Wales, at the Manhattan Beach cycle track today in a twenty-flve mile paced race, and beat his opponent in the presence of more than 15,000 spectators. His defeat on last Saturday, through the bursting of a tire, was not looked upon as a defeat by any means, by the midget's friends, and today thousands of dollars were bet and won on the "rarebit." Michael was the fav orite in the belting, odds of 100 to 80 being freely laid on his chances. There was plenty of Linton money, however, and in the his tory of cycling there has never been such a large amount wagered on a contest. There was very little wind and everything favored an excellent race, and many looked for new records to bo established. As It turned out, however, no records were even equaled, for both riders Indulged In a good deal of jockeying in the early part of the > race. Some of the Individual miles were cov ered In excellent time, the ninth mile being run ln 1:38 4-5. In the last lap Linton's men swung out and flew past Michael, amid deaf ening cheers, and frenzied cries. Linton maintained his advantage for nearly a mile until he lost his pacemakers. Michael, who was then riding like a little demon, passed his opponent and rode away from him. This setback evidently took the heart out of Lin ton's work, and Michael finally crossed the tape a winner by about 170 yards. The half mile L. A. W. national champion ship for professionals was won by O. L. Stevens, of Ottumwa, 10. He beat Arthur Gardner by half a wheel in the final heat- Eddie Bald was six inches behind Gardner and Tom Cooper, who finished fourth, was only a few inches back of the Buffalo rider. The two-mile professional handicap was captured by Gardner, who beat Major Taylor by a length and half, and established a new world's record for the distance under handi cap conditions, as he coveted the two miles In 4:18 4-5. Klser, of Dayton, 0., with an allowance of twenty yards, finished third, and beat out Bald, tlie other scratch man, by half a length for the third honors. TO BREAK A RECORD. Frank V. German Undertakes a Dif llcult Feat. NEW BEDFORD, Mass., July 23.— Frank V. German, of Brooklyn, who started out on the Button Weed cycle track last night shortly after 8:30 o'clock, to beat the twenty-four-hour record, paced, was successful in smashing all marks frcm the second un to the eompl.-t : on Of his twelfth hour, when he had covered m miles. 1,160 yarda At this point the rider's strength seemed to be giving cut, and he took half an hour's rest. At the end of tho thirteenth hour he was seven miles and 730 yards behind the record. German's time for titty pules was 13 minutes 12 3-5 seconds bet ter than the record, and he finished ICO miles in 4 hours 13 minutes and 51 4-5 seconds or more than twenty-four minutes ahead of 'the, record. He completed Ji's 200 th mile in 16 hours 46 minutes and IT2-5 seconds. He fin ished his seventeenth hour with 303 miles, 720 yards, or about thirty-three miles behind the record. During this hour German was with drawn from the track frequently on account of stomach disorder, and his riding was quite weak. German reappeared on the track after a thirteen-mlnute stop, during which he par took of food. This s:emed to revive his spirits and he appeared to be in a better condition. He completed eighteen hours with 315 miles 1,306 yards. TENNIS TOURNAMENT. Strong List of Entries Promised at Minneapolis. The annual Northwestern tennis tournament Is to be an event of Interest thi3 w^ek. That lt is to be held in Minneapolis on the Park avenue courts, instead of at the lake, has apparently detracted nothing from the enthusiasm of the expected players, for the hospitality of the Northwest tennis men Is proverbial, and a stronger than usual list of Chicago players Is promised. Owing to the continuation of the Chicago tournament, the Northwestern games will not open until Wednesday morning, the Western meet not concluding before Tuesday. This will bring the visiting players on in a body Wednesday. Play Is to continue through the week, with the best matches promised for the afternoon after 4 o'clock for the pleas ure of the spectators. The contingent of vis itors will include Ward and Davis, two East ern men, who have been playing in the Chi cago tournament; W. S. Bond, W. L. Myers, a favorite in previous Northwestern meet ings; Everts Wrenn. Ralph Condee, a player of prowess, who holds championship medals- Eolfield. Seabury p.nd Herrick. These are all good men and will be expected to put up pretty play. Among the home players will be the quartette now in Chicago, George and Harry Belden, Charles Hale and T. N. Jayne .together with John N. Greer and others of local fame. The championship of the Northwest will be decided in the tournament, in the winner of the finals, as the. champion of last year Lieut. W. A. Bethel, is at tlie front ln war service, and will not be able to defend his title. He will, therefore, forfeit his hold ing. Lieut. Bethel has been at West Point and went to the front quite recently. Finals in the Chess Tournament to Be Played Tomorrow. VIENNA, July 23.— The thirty-seventh round of the International chess tournament was played today. At the time of taking the usual recess, Lipko and Schlecter had drawn, while Baird had lost to Blackburn and Walbredt to Sehiffers.

PAUL GLOBE SUNDAY JULY 24, 189 a CORBETT SEEKS NO GLORY NEEDS MONEY AND SEES A CHANCE TO MAKE IT Match "With McCoy Dears All the Ear Marks of Another Clrcns Play for the "Gate Receipts"— Ring; Followers Marvel at the Se lection of --Honest" John Kelly as Referee Ring Gwtsip, James J. Corbett Is not in the boxing business for glory. H« thinks he sees a chance to make money ln meeting "Kid" McCoy, and the chances are that he will clean up a neat sum, win or lose. And McCoy is not vastly dissimi lar to Corbett ln that particular. Ho Is also a money-getter. There may be a $20,000 purse hung up at Buffalo, but the chances are that the affair will be conducted on the percentage basis. There will be a neat sum to "cut up" whichever way the battle terminates, and it Is folly to presume that the winner will win all and the loser lose everything. To begin with there will be nothing to lose. There are no stakes — the forfeit is a good advertising card, and the public will do the resit. Princi pals and managers of the Corb«tt-Mc- Coy match must not be supposed to be asking to be let off at Buffalo because they corslder that city a health resort. The summer is long, and the coming *a inter may be a hard one. WILL DRAW A BIG CROWD. There Is no question that the match will draw a big crowd. Buffalo is easy of access, and as the contest will be within a few minutes' ride of the city proper there will be nothing to keep the lovers of the game away. The prices will bring in the amount of the purse and something handsome for the promoters. The figures are $5, $10 and $15. Then there are to be veriscope pic tures, and the principals will have a handsome royalty from that feature of the "entertainment." In fact, it is a decidedly Corbettiari affair — not much glory, but a lot of money. Billy Brady is wisely keeping in the background, but if any novice thinks the astute manager is out of the deal he is guess ing wrenjr. Billy knows enough to keep quiet. There will be more confidence in the match with hijm oiut of it. WHY THAT' REFEREE? Why "Honest" John Kelly should have been selected to. referee the match is a puzzler for those who know how bed a referee "Honest'!! John is. His performance at Jacksonville, when Cor bett met Mitchell, stamped him as the worst ever seen. He, evidently knew about as much of the Marquis of Queensbury rules as Admiral Montojo and Cervera did* of naval fighting. There is but one man living who com pares with Kelly as an arbiter of box ing, a la Queenpbury., and that is J ere Hunt, the popular railroad ticket agent, who was once selected' to referee a match between two dusky gladiators, who met in Aid. Cronln's "thrist par lor," in St. Louis, Mo. In the third round one of the contestants appealed to Jerry for "judgment." He said: "Say, Mr. Referee, this yere nigger is gouging me." "Well," responded Jere, "you've a gouge coming, go in and get it." THE MITCHELL AFFAIR. When Corbett defeated Charlie Mit chell, at Jacksonville, Fla., "Honest" John Kelly was referee. Of all the alleged Queens'bury cantes-ts ln the his tory of the ring that was the worst handled. It was moce like a rough and tumble than a boxing match, and Kelly did some things that caused old-timers to rub their eyes and wonder if they were dreaming. For instance, before the battle had progressed -far Corbett lost his temper and began to foul Mit chell repeatedly. • Corbett's seconds jumped into the ring and pulled Cor bett back into his corner. From that time on the ring was filled with sec onds and handlers of the man with the pompadour and never a word said Kel ly. And this in the face of the fact that for a second of a boxer to enter a ring during the progress of a round means loss of the battle to that par ticular principal. But to crown it all, when Mitchell managed to regain his feet, at the close of the third and last round, what does Kelly do but rush over to Corbett's corner and inform him excitedly that Mitchell was up. Thereupon Corbett ran over to the Britisher and gave him hl3 quietus. Several of Corbett's handlers accom panied him, urging him to keep his temper and not foul his antagonist— and they were inside the ropes, at that. AS OTHERS SEE IT. In this connection here is a signifi cant reference to the match frcm the sporting columns of the Chicago Trib une: "But several things have caused* sporting men to ta:lk as if they lookr-d with some suspicion on the approach ing match. There is not the confidence in MoCoy that there is in Corbett, ths Indiariian always having been regard ed more or less as a man who was never looking for any possible chance of getting the worst of a financial bar gain. Probably the feature that has caused as much gossip as anything else is the agreement on 1 "Honest John" Kelly as referee. Why McCoy should consent to accept Kelly as referee, if he is anxious to defeat Corbett, when it is a matter of pugilistic history, that never has been contradicted, that Kelly allowed Corbett to foul Mitchell at Jacksonville in the most flagrant man ner without penalizing him, is the thing that the sporting critics cannot understand. It looks as If McCoy would naturally look to some man who never had shown any such favoritism to wards the man he is to mcct — that is, if he set great store by the coming contest ln Buffalo. Kelly's selection as referee will certainly not add to the importance that will be attached to the Corbett-McCoy fight ln England, where Kelly's inefficiency as shown at Jack sonville, is well known." SHOULD MEET SHARKEY. If Corbett is in earnest about his in tention to re-enter the ring, the first man he should take on Is Tom Sharkey. It is a notorious fact that the sailor man bested Corbett in their go out in San Francisco. More: He would have sent the pompadour champion to dreamland in less than one more round. Then Corbett began to dodge, and since that time he has kept dodging. Why? The majority of ring followers seem unable to discover It, but Corbett is no match for a big, strong, bruising boxer. Men of the Sharkey-Maher stripe do not require silence to beat Corbett. And who. ;"kno>ws this best? None other than James J. Corbett. He will not meet any of the big ones so long as he can avoid ! lt. McCoy is more to his liking. The Hoosler can not rough Corbett. On, the contrary, Corbett is the rougher fighter of the two. Corbett says he Will meet Shar key, but he won't — not If he has any thing to say about It. jX RING Gr'6sS-ip. Here is what the^ are saying about the Corbett-McCoy ifigst in Greater New York: "There- is s^ good deal of talk to the effect that the Corbett-Mc- Coy match is to be 'a fake-— but, then, the world is pessimistic." Corbett and McCoy are referred to ln the Eastern papers as the "financiers of the ring." Peter Maher has refused to meet Jef fries for a percentage of the gate re ceipts. Mayhap, Peter is wise. Jef fries is a dangerous proposition, at' best. Fitzslmmons says he is willing to meet any man he has not defeated. That includes all of them — heavy and middle. Jeffries, the big boxer from the coast, JOHN PHILIP SOUSA writes: When worn out, I find nothing so helpful as a glass of Yin Mariani. To brain-workers and those who expend a great deal of nervous force, it is in valuable. JOHN PHILIP SOUSA. From the Surgeon-in-Chief of the French Army: During- long - , tedious marches, our soldiers and officers found instant re lief from fatigue and hardships when using the marvelous tonic, Yin Marian!; it prevented fevers and sick ness in the marshy and unhealthy territory.— H. LIBERMANN, M. D., Surgeon-in-Chief French Army Is to meet two men— Steve O'Donnell, Corbett's once boxing partner, who Jim pronounced the best man in the world, bar himself, and whose easy defeat by Maher induced Corbett to make Peter champion by default — and the exploded Davies phenom, Bob Arm strong. The meetings will occur on the evening of Aug. 5 in Tom O'Rourke's New York club house. Dan Creedon has announced his will ingness to take on Peter Maher. That would be all right, but Dan would be slightly handicapped. —Willie Greene. Those who contend that there sould be a championship weight between the feather and light-weight classes are again agitating the matter fiercely in the East. Some of them contend that there should be a ISC-pound championship. Still others who like the idea of another championship assert that 126 pounds is too near the light-weight limit. They want 122 established as an additional championship haven. The extreme feather weight limit Is 115 pounds, and the lowest light-weight limit is 133 pounds.— Chicago In ter Ocean. Black Griffo (Billy Teller), the clever col ored boxer upon whom an operation was per foyned last week, Is in a fair way toward re covery. Within ten days it Is expected that he will be matched to meet Joe Grans at 133 pounds, in a twenty-round contest. Smith and White Sinn. Solly Smith, failing hi his attempt to in duce Ben Jordan to Sght him, has signed articles to light Tommy White, of Chicago. Smith declares the fight will be for the wel ter-weight championship of America, as he defeated George Dixon for the title of cham- ! plon at San Francisco several months ago. j Solly says if he wins from White he will go to England and force Jordan to fight him for the world's championship. SPORT WAS MARRED. Betters at Grouse Point Question One of the Decisions. DETROIT. Mich., July 23.-Dlssat!sfaction over the judge's decision, giving the last heat of the 2:22 class trotting to D L C marred to day's sport at Grosso Polnte track. Much money had been placed on True Chimes in the auctions for this race. Both he and D L C got two heats. In the final heat D L C was in the lead in the stretch, when Anita S came with a rush and the crowd thought she nipped the bay horse. The Judge, however, thought differently, and awarded the heat to D LC. Then a cry went up from the betters, who thought If Anita S should be given the heat Geers could have won the sixth heat from D L C. Cries of "robber" went up, but the judges were firm in saying D L C had a head the best of it. In neither the judges' or timers' stands was there any other opinion. True Chimes, with two heats to his credit, broke badly in the following two and was out of it. Geers had him on his fe.>t better in the fifth, and the betters thought he could have captured the sixth had not the judges made their decision against Anita S.

MARCHING OF ENGL-ISH * SOL,DII3RS. (Keprluted from The London Sketch.) Gen. Sir Evelyn Wood says:—-"Re garding- the infantry marching-, it was the best seen during; my command at Aldershot, or since I was first sta tioned there twenty-eig-ht years ag-o. Many officers availed themselves of the tonic and reconstituent properties of the well known Marlanl Wine, the most certain as well as the most pal otable method of inducing- resistance at fatigue." nearly every contest These arguments are rapidly becoming bitter, and when the two men do meet the race will be well worth witnessing, owing to the feeling which has been engendered. Atlanta, Chattanooga, Birmingham, Hunts vllle, Ala., and Memphis. Paducah and Hen derson, Ky., are Included'in the Southern cir cuit, which opened at the former city Tues day evening, and will continue with five nights of racing each week to the close of the season. Sixteen riders are following the circuit under the active management of W. H. Pickens and Lee Richardson, the latter the well-known trick rider. Three profes sional races are held each evening.
