The racing bill wanted by the trotting associations in the State was introduced in the Senate today. It provides for the prevention of running races for more than forty days, trotting more than fifteen days, or steeplechasing five days on any one track in any season.

It is asserted by some that his claims are preposterous, and in this connection his friends charge that a rival tire firm to the one whose tires he rode has been instrumented in having his claims rejected. They also say that his records are backed up by competent witnesses. The road club, after a careful investigation, have decided that he is not entitled to first place.

He is, however, awarded the State century medal, having ridden 140 centuries during l.s'.M5. It. K.

The practice games will be played on "Whittington Park, in the valley, a mile above the city. This afternoon the entire club was out at the grounds, but none in uniform save Griffith, and Thornton, who have been here for several tiaye. The grounds are in nice condition, although the flinty surface of the scalped infield will make ballplaying difficult. Herman- Long and Yeager or the Bostons, several St.

He will recommend the measure to the Finance committee at its meeting today and endeavor to secure its indorsement before the ordinance is referred to it.

Aid. Cougiln said yesterday in regard to the measure: The resolutions have been sent to me by the cyclists and I think It is a good and that they are right ia asking for the improvement. It will not only be a bent-fit to them, but to the public as well, as there is a great deal of traffic, particularly between Randolph street and the bridge, in Michigan avenue, and a first-class roadbed is necessary. I have not looked up any estimates of costs, but can see no reason why there should be any objection to its passage. I am also in favor of cycle paths along the boulevards, and I think it is only a question of time before.they will be seen all over Chicago.

Of course that will come within the jurisdiction of the l'ark Commissioners, but I think the city will take care that the portions which come under their jurisdiction will be attended to."

The bill to repeal the mortgage tax law, which passed the Senate yesterday, will be giA-en a favorable report in t'he House tomorrow. A careful canvass shows that it will pass, and as it A-as recommended by Gov. Pingree in his inaugural message it will become a law. The bill simply exempts from taxation all mortgages on Michigan real estate and limits the rate of Interest to le contracted in such mortgages to 7 per cent. For the last six years these mortgages haA'e been taxed, with the result that, instead of lowering the rate of interest, the borrower im-ariably paid the tax in addition to his interest.

In his application, Von der Ahe alleged that the court and the people of St. Louis were so bitterly opposed to him that he knew he could not obtain a fair trial. The basis of his plea, was articles which appeared In the newspapers at the time he asked for a continuance, because of his absence from St.

K. FA1RBANK Dr. W. S. McDowell will enter in the nen-ley regatta again this year.

Arrangements were made yesterday and he will start for Europe April 1. He is in first-class condition and expects to carry off' several prizes. The Delaware Boat club, of which he is a member, will pay all his expenses, and he will compete under its colors. Aside from this entry the Delaware Boat club will not attempt to do A'ery much in the boating line this coming season. They wish to save their money for another purpose.

They haA-e elaborate plans under consideration, which are not sufficiently matured to be made public, but they will make an announcement of their policy shortly. They will probably, howeA-er, send crews to the Mississippi Valley rowing regatta, and to that of the Northwestern Rowing Association. The Catlin Boat club is making extensiA-e preparations for the season, and the men are already commencing to train, and a number of crews will be put on the water. The club Avill send a senior double team to the regatta of the American oarsmen, which meets at Philadelphia Aug. 13 and 14.

A junior single and double and senior single, pair, and double will be sent to the Mississippi and Northwestern regattas. The club expects to receiA-e a single and double shell from Toronto in the next two weeks made by Clasper of England. The men who will compose the crews are: Senior single. Frank S. Catlin: senior double, James Henderson and William Weinand; senior pair, Frank Binder and partner.

For the junior singles, Almandinger, Rankin, and Johnson are the most promising candidates. A meeting of the Mississippi Valley Rowing Association will be held in a month to name a regatta committee. The regatta this year will probably be held at Black Lake, where it was held last year. An in-A-itation will also be considered from Harbor Springs, Mich. The consolidation of the Mississippi Valley Association with the Northwestern Association will be discussed at that time.

This is a project which has been agitated for a year or two, and oarsmen hope to see it soon realized. The regatta of the Northwestern Rowing Association will probably be held at Detroit, although Toledo is making a strong pull for the honor. The regatta of the National Association of American Oarsmen will be held on the Schuylkill RiA-er at Philadelphia. Oarsmen are especially well receiA'ed in the Quaker City, and sometimes as many as 40,000 witness the races. COMPANY, CHICAGO.

Discussions of the two bicycle bills now before the Legislature In Springfield are heard at every cycling club in Chicago. Regarding the Sharrock bill, the opinion of the wheelmen is unanimous, and they are eagerly waiting for news from Springfield. In regard to the Shanahan bill, opinion is divided, but the majority of the riders, cyclists who have thought over the matter carefully, favor any measure which will render impossible such contests as the six-day race which was finished a short time ago at Tattersall's. Others think some action should be taken, but do net believe the proposed law will attain the end for which it is designed. Dr.

Barclay, President of the Morse Cycling Representative Shanahan is evidently trying to do sometning, but I cannot see that he is hitting the mark. I do not think this a fit subject for legislation. The law would apply to all. A man's powers of endurance in a race of this character depend largely upon his training. Some riders, properly trained, could endure twenty-four consecutive hours' riding with less discomfiture than others in six consecutive hours without proper, training.

I believe the Representative's efforts in this direction would be more beneficial if the bill, provided for the attendance, at each meet of this character, of a corps of competent physician who should be the sole judges of the fitness of the riders, and the length of time they should remain on the track. I have seen all of the successful participants in the six-day race at Tattersall's since their finish, and they seem none the worse for the grind. However, there is no benefit to humanity or the sport in a continuous 142-hour race. It is tirescme and uninteresting to watch, expensive to promote and maintain, and determines nothing, sol am in favor of the bill."

March 11. Special. Senator Harding has in his possession a racing bill, which was outlined in The Tribune of Thursday morning. He says it was given to him by one of his constituents, C. W.

Williams, formerly cf Independence, and at present the owner of the Galesburg trotting track. Senator Harding says he has not agreed to introduce it, nor has he made up his mind that he will do so. He is consulting with his brother Senators about the matter. He says a good many Senators want a moderate race track bill passed. This one is being advocated by the Northwestern Breeders' Association.

It would be impossible at this time to venture an opinion as to the fate of race track A number of the legislators favor a measure of this character, provided the racing period Is limited and foreign books are barred. They won't stand pool-rooms nor continuous racing seasons. If the owners of tho tracks agreed among themselves to a thirty-day bill and the exclusion of foreign books such a measure might stand a chance of getting through. IK FAYOR OF THE NEW RACING BILL.

they could cure me but failed to do so. I grave up in despair and took to my bed. I had dreadful HALLET DAVIS The question as to whether the First Regiment-University of Chicago meet will take place tomorrow is still in doubt. Prof. Stagg is persistent in his assertion that there will be a meet at his gymnasium, even if his men haAe to contest with each other.

He does not fear, however, but that indiA'idual members from the First Regiment will attend, even if the soldiers' board of directors does not allow them to meet as an organization. The officers of the First Regiment Athletic club are undecided in their position. They pose as stanch members of the A. A. U.

Avhen first they issue from the presence of President Fishburn, but when the arguments of Stagg haA-e assailed their ears for a short time they are anxious to bid defiance to any mandate which may come from him. The threat which Stagg has made of refusing to enter his men in the approachirg Coliseum meet or in any First Regiment" meet in the future has made a great impression on- the soldiers. They acknowledge that without the help of the UniA-ersity of Chicago local meets maybe failures, and they are thus to take a stand between local and Eastern meets. This state of affairs has induced members of the First Regiment and the Bankers' Athletic club to talk of the organization of a Western union to oppose the A. A.

V. They find that outside of the C. A. A. there are few large clubs in the West which are at ai! interested in the union, and are led to De-lieve that their plan may be feasible.

101 'by "I lOODo- About the time the spring worm makes Its appearance the lesser lights of the Pullman and the Wanderers' clubs will be getting into condition for the deciding game in the second eleA-en championship for 189H. For the first time in the Chicago Cricket Association a championship has been carried forward to another season. This Aas necessitated by bad weather last fall. In the unfinished business that came before the new Executive committee, which met last night at the Sherman House for the first time, this undecided game was included. In the course of competition last year the Wanderers team led by one game until PuHman was awarded a win from Chicago by forfeit, which brought them on even terms with the men from Thirty-ninth street.

This award was objected to by the latter on the ground that th match had not been officially arranged, and a motion was made to reopen the case. Last night the wanderers accepted the decision and suggested that the match be played prior to the opening of the regular championship schedule. It was so ordered by the delegates and will be played one week previous to the opening games, and if the grounds at Parkside are obtainable there will be the venue. No new players will be allowed to piay and last year's rules will goA ern the game. This arrangement will have the effect of starting practice some three or four weeks ahead of the usual time, as both clubs are anxious to win the President's cup.

At the meeting last night delegates were present from the Wanderers, Cicero, Albion, Oak Park, Pullman, SL Lawrence, and Chicago clubs. President Wright of the Chicago club occupied the chair. The remaining officers were elected as follows: J. G. Davis, First 'Vice-President; B.

Aston. Second Vice-President; J. H. Cathrae, Third Vice-President; A. E.

Long, The new Executive committee is a good one. and the affairs of the association will undoubtedly be well looked after. The championship schedule will be arranged early in April, by which time the clubs will have decided how many teams they will enter. RESULT OF 18 YEARS' EXPERIENCE. GORMl" LLY JFFFKKV MFC.

S. McGiiiAS, 113 Kilburn avenue, Eockford, III. Marie La Blanche of Toledo is the latest entry in the coming women's six-day rac which begins at Tattersall's next Monday afternoon. She recently challenged Tillie Anderson to a match race for any sum of money over $200 for any distance, out of doors, and also included in her challenge the statement that with sufficient time to acquaint herself with an indoor track she would meet her in a match race for the same amount and at any distance that Miss Anderson might name She is in excellent training, having ridden a mile in 2:20 on the road last week. Another dark horse is now being mentioned in the person of Pearl Keves, th Empire Flyer." Miss Keyes is a Rochester girl who has ridden In a number of professional races.

As. an amateur she, was champion of New York State, and up to the time that -Kittle Staples, Catharine Flan-nigan, and Mrs. W. C. Munctz came to Rochester she had always ridden the amateur clas3.

She entered the race, becoming a professional and defeating them with ease. Since then she has always ridden with the best professional riders of the country. HEARING ON THE BICYCLE BILL. Representatives of Cycle Clnbs Appear Before the Honse Committee and Make Statements. Among trotting and pacing horsemen the till about to be Introduced at Springfield by Senator Harding finds general approval.

Will J. Davis. Fpeaking of the bill, said: ir la too much to hope It will pass as It Is. will la all probability be sprung, and of course we can't tell what they will be. "-Speaking for myself, I should like to see both the House and Senate concur in a bill- which would give good sport and not game and which would encourage the breeding of fine horses.

Ttoe trotting and pacing horse has a value which horses of r.o other class have A running horse after its track career is practically ot no use. and draft horses have only one class of usefulness, but the trotter and pacer, when they have finished their -work on the track, are the best of drivers if they have been properly educated, and I have seen them draw loads on my own farm where big Percherona and Clydes have given up. Outside of Chicago fifteen days of racing would probably be satisfactory, but that Is a question for the Legislature to settle. "We have conceded everything that rbould be conceded to the running horse people, but if the Legislature thinks we have conceded too -much It Is-for It to set the limit.

Gambridge. March 11. Special. A new world's record at throwing the discus, the favorite pastime of the old Greeks, has been made by C. J.

Paine, a Harvard senior. When the American athletes visited Greece last year Capt. Garrett easily defeated the Greeks," although he had seen a discus for the first time only a day before the competition. On the return of the American athletes they introduced the former eA-ent of the Olympic games into several colleges and athletic clubs, notably the Boston Athletic Association. Discus throwing la now practiced by many.

of the crack college athletes. Sheldon of the Yale track athletic team some months ago placed the world's record at 111 feet, and efforts to beat this, both in this country and in Greece, have been unaA'ailing until yesterday, when Paine, with apparently little effort, threw the discus a trifle oVer 114 feet. This was only done in practice and will very likely be Increased largely in competition. Paine is a son of Gen. Paine, who won fame as the owner of several of America's cup defenders, and has two brothers who are crack amateur shots.
