Since Thursday, the Pittsburg cyclers at
the National "Wheelmen's meet have been
strangling homeward. Some of them shook
the dust of "Washington from their clothes
belore the la-t run was completed and
reached this city early Thursday morning,
while others took their time and a few will
not be here until this week, Each has the
same tale to tell, oi a most successful meet
in?, ol delightful runs and royal entertain
ments and every one was exhausted
when the time came to break away
from the pleasant surroundings. Sev
eral who had intended to come back
by way of the roads were so tired that they
concluded to forego mountain scenery and
the delights of a run across the country, for
the more rapid and easier means of transit,
the cars. Some of these gentlemen sty
they took in everything there was to be
seen, and if they had attempted the journey
over the mountains they might have been
tempted to stay awav altogether or tor a
longer time thau their business would
permit.
The cyclers from this part of the country
took a prominent part in the proceedings at
the meet. About "5 of them, members of
the Allegheny Cclers and the Keystone
Wheelmen Associations kept together,
elected C H. 1'etticord captain, and repre
sented Allegheny county in an admirable
manner. As one of tnem savs, they cer
tainly gave the people at the meet good
leasou to suppose that the wheelmen in this
icmity are a lively set of people. They
all came back covered with badges, their
pockets full of mementoes and sun browned
laces that tell of the great and joyous out
ing that has passed into history as the best
on recird.
The East End Gyms has gone out of
existence, that is. the members have de
cided to change the name of their organiza
tion to the Pittsburg Athletic Club. This
rasdasjeJiJ a special meeting of the associa
tion heldtorfuS-jrarpose of mafciDg radical
changes in the constitution and bylaws
early in the week. While the Gyms always
took a leading part in athletic affairs of the
city, they labored under a disadvantage
in expecting one man or one set ot man
to do too much. There are
several different special lines of athletics
in which the members are interested. For
instance, tbre is a wheelmen's di.vision: an
other clique play tennis; others give their
sole attention to Celd events; and there are
in project mandolin clubs, etc., all of which
have to be provided for. It was too much
to expect one man or one committee to
Leep things nioviug in each branch, and the
constitution and bylaws have been so
changed as to provide for the appointment
of committees (or each specialty. These
committees will supervise the arrangement
ot events and keep the interest of the mem
bers, which had begun to flag, at leTer heat.
Only two cities have made any preten
sions lor bidding for the annual champion-'
ship meeting of the Amateur Athletic
Union. "Worcester, Mass.. wants the cham
pionship held there and the Manhattan
Athletic Club, of 2ew York, has also put
m r. plea for it. There is no reason why
Pittsburg's associations should not make a
bid for the event. The city is centrally lo
cated and therefore more likely to draw
talent lrom the West than either of the
cities named. The trouble seems to be that
the athletic associations here are too modest.
They seein to think that they could not
compete with the Eastern associations in
making a bid for the meeting, and in conse
quence they have not tried. A bid should
be put in any way, and even if Pittsburg
does not get the meet this year it may suc
ceed all the better next season for having
made a clain at this time.
The Coraopolis Lawn Tennis Club will
hold an invitation tournament at Coraop
olis on Thursday. Friday and Saturday of
this week, between the hours of 2 and 7
each afternoon. Entries will be received
and first and second prizes awarded in both
singles and doubles, and those defeated in
the preliminary round by the winners in
the finals will have the right to play the
runners up for sccona prize. All matches
will be played between the hours desig
nated unless the respective contestants
otherwise agree. Players desiring to re
main over night may be accommodated at
the Bidge Avenue Hotel at the rate of SI 60
per day. The drawings for the preliminary
round "will be made at 1 o'clock p. 31., July
27. at the office of X Ed. Cornelius.
135 Fifth avenue, to which all interested
are invited to be present, and players may
know their respective antagonists in the
preliminary round by consulting The Dis
patch, of July 28.
Invitations have been extended to the
following clubs of "Western Pennsylvania,
most of which have promised a representa
tion of at least two members: Washington,
Mansfield, Crafton, Beaver, Rochester,
Beaver Falls, Xew Brighton, Sharpsburg,
Wilkinsburg, Blairsville, Latrobe and Salts
burg. To assist in perfecting the arrangements
entries are requested at the earliest date
possible and will be received ill Wednes
day, July 27 at 12 o'clock (noon) by either
T. Ed. Cornelius, Secretary, W. T, Tred
way, President, or H. W. Burns, Treasurer.
Football enthusiasts are already talking
of the coming season, which will open
about the 1st ot September. Judging from
present appearances, there will be a lively
time of it when the season opens, for the
fever which began last fall has reached a
heretofore unknown height now. It is
more than likely that the following associa
tions will have teams in the field: The
"Three A's," Pittsburg Athletic Associa
tion (formerlv East End Gyms), Wilkins
burg A. A.,Sewickley A. A., Sharpsburg
A. A., Homewood A. A., not to mention
each of the colleges that form the Intercol
legiate League of Western Pennsylvania, and
several smaller organizations. Steps are
already being taken for the organization of
some of the teams, and without doubt when
the let of September is reached the season
will break open with a terriffic burst of en
thusiasm. Pennsylvania produces some wonderful
marksmen with the shotgun, men who are
the equals of any of the professionals. The
recent international shoot in London
demonstrated that fact, for in Charles
Macalester and H. YaleBolan, of the Phila
delphia Gun Club, the Englishmen met
more than their match. Both carrjed away
prizes valued at about $5,000. The Interna
tional cud was won bv Mr. Oaklei?h
Thorne, of the "Westminster Gnn Club.
At Lewisburg, this State, there also re
sides an amateur expert with the gun, Mr.
Coleman K. Sober. He is a wealthy and
prosperous lumberman at the head of one
of the largest lumbering concerns of the
State, but his shotgun seldom misses. He
claims that his wonderful marksman
ship is instinct, and that he in
herited it from his parents. His rec
ords at shooting ruffed grouse give
an indication of his skill. In 1881 he shot
95; 18S5, 87; 18S6, 108; 1887, 40; 1888, 47;
18S9, 117; 1890, 110; 1891, 103. In the fall
of 1890 he made a straight run of 32 kills,
and in the last 50 he killed that year he shot
at but 55. At the trap he is wqnderfully
expert and performs over 100 feats with the
shotgun. He shoots from cither shoulder
with the greatest accuracy, breaks glass
balls, eta, with coats tied around the bar
rels of his gun or with the muzzle of his
gnn thrust through objects ranging in size
from a cigar box to a flour barrel In 84
shots with these obstacles in his road he
missed but four times.
Arrangements have been perfected by
the Board of Managers of the Washington,
Pa., Young Men's Christian Association,
by which a field day will be held in that
place during the coming tall. It is the in
tention to place upon the programme the
usual outdoor events of contests, and prizes
in the shape of badges will be offered. The
members of the associations at Pittsburg,
Allegheny, McKeesport and Wheeling will
be permitted to enter.

A reason for the change of name of the
East End Gyms to the Pittsburg Athletic
Club is found in the determination f the
association to send its members abroad to
compete in open events. It was argued
that if the men were sent out to represent
the East End Gyms none would know to
what city they belonged, whereas none will
now have to stop and inquire from whence
the athletes haiL The first athletic asso
ciation to set the example in sending men
to distant meets was the Allegheny A. A.,
and the Pittsburg Athletic Club has some
good talent, as it found when its represent
atives carried away prizes at the ODen meet
ing of the "Three A's," to which not only
Allegheny and Pittsburg, but Detroit, Phil
adelphia, New York and the surrounding
towns sent runners and athletes. If the
Pittsburg Athletic Club's men were able to
carry ofi honors then, there is no reason
why they may not do the same thing else
where. Entries for the Keystone Bicycle Club's
15-mile road race will close to-morrow. TJp
to last night but few of those who are to
compete for the prizes had sent in their
names but it was known that 12 or 15 men
would start. Some of them have been in
active training during the past week and
fast time is anticipated. It is not expected
that the 15 miles will be made quite so
quickly as if there were no hills to climb,
but there will be nothing slow about the
affair. The course has been carefully
marked out and if the weather clerk is ac
commodating enough to provide rain on
Thursday the road will be in excellent
shape.
Our tennis players made a good showing
at the Altoona tournament during the early
part of the week, altough Moorhead was de
feated in the singles early in the contest.
Altoona has furnished several players who
are proving themselves worthy opponents
of the experts of the Pittsburg Tennis Club.
Later on it is expected that more will be
heard of Bnch, Fay and Whelen than in
the past. The certainly make a formidable
trio to represent Altoona in Western Penn
sylvania tourneys.
It appears, from those who were at the
meet at Washington, and from the news
papers published at the sceno of action,
that George Banker really won the one
fourth mile championship of America race,
although it was awarded to Barrett, of Chi
cago. The publio thought that Banker won,
and hissed the judges who decided other
wise, and it is stated now that two of the
judges were Chicago men who disregarded
the three-inch lead Banker had.andgave the
race to their townsman. Laying aside this
race. Banker won by two seconds and two
thirds at the national meet. He reached
home last night and brought with him
almost a. carload of trophies won in the
East He will be home for a month or so,
and will then take in the fall circuit

THE SEASON AT ASBDRY PARK.
A Hot Political Fight Which Has Interested
the Summer "Visitors How Seirell
Fooled the Asbnryans Breaking Fish
ing Uncords Points on Plttsburgera.
Asbcry Park, July 23. Special To the
summer people the most interesting of the
week's happenings have been the enormous
catches offish from the hanks, the fishing
spires, the sailing yachts, and also from the
gi eat "fishing punds." To the residents and
to all persons interested in the political cam
paign, the recommendation by General
Sewell, the appointment by President Har
rison and the confirmation by the United
States Senate of a Republican postmaster
has eclipsed any happening here for half a
decade.
So much agitation has been aroused by
the appointment of Edmund G. Hariison as
postmaster that a little political warfare is
now going on among the towns people, from
whence it has spread to the cottagers and
even to the guests at hotels. Nearly every
man, woman and child here seem to have
taKen sines and are vigorously discussing
the subject from one standpoint or another.
For nearly 15 months the present incum
bent Mr. A. It Toland, an appointee or ex
President Cleveland, has held over after the
expiration of his term during which his duties
were performed to the general satisfaction
of the people. For a similar period there
have been two rival contestants for the
office, George W. Treat, a retired clergyman,
and John L. Coffin, a retired printer. A
very large majority of the permanent and
summer lesidents lavored Treat whoagreed
to leave the field it it was round: that he has
less than a two-thirds vote. Coffin would
not enter into this arrangement So the war
continued.
Then General William J. Sewell threat
ened to recommend an outsider if the other
candidates could not arrange their differ
ences. The proud Asbury Parkers thought
this was a playful "bluff" and that
the 'Republican "boss" would not dare to
carry out such a, thieat in this Itepublican
stronghold.
The Asbury Parkers now have discovered
their bad judgment and are holding indigna
tion meetings, protesting that neither faction
and no ono wants Harrison and that they
will "bolt" if they are to be so treated. And
all this arouses the Interest or the languid
summer wayfarer even more than the re
markable fishing.
There never were so many weakfish taken
from the sea hero as during the week now
closing. The sport from the sidesof the two
schooners.' in commission here for fishing
j and sailing parties out at sea, was remark-
uuiy line, udu au vvaa ii uuiu iua piers sua

WAS ALONE IN THK BOAT.
A Skipper Makrs His Solitary Way From
Alaska to the Golden State.
Sait I"ean Cisco, July 21 Captain F.
Vehllng has arrived h"ere, the captain,
pilot and crew of the little steam launch
Kussiloff, from Alaska.
Years ago the launch Kusiloff was sunk
off Earlnk, Ahuka. Yehling bought the
boat for a trifling sum, and early this sea
son, after providing her with schooner rig
ging, shipped' a crew and prepared for a
trading trip among the Indians.
One day "Vehling allowed his men to go
ashore at Karluk. About noon a heavy
wind came np and the vessel broke her
cable and drifted out to sea. "Vehling made
the best of the situation and steered the
boat ont to sea. By dusk the Kussiloff was
out of sight of land, and 'all that night the
wind blew a gale.
Vehling stood by the helm and scudded
under bare poles. 'Next morning the-wind
changed and blew him toward the San
Juan Archipelago. The captain saw it was
impossible to make Karluk and turned the
bow of the boat toward San Francisco.
At night Captain Vehling would shorten
sail a bit, tie his rudder and go to sleep in
the cabin. He cooked his own meals,
manned his own boat and was king and
captain of all he looked upon. The Kussi
loff proved herself an excellent sailor.
Early this morning Captain Vehling got
in sight of the Heads. He was not able,
however, to get his craft into the Golden
Gate. He signaled for help, and the
schooner Kodiak. which happened to be
coming in, took the Kussiloff in tow and
brought her into the harbor, where she
anchored in the stream.
It is said that a handsome frontispiece in
the shape or a photogravure or. Colonel R.
M. Ray, Past Commander of No. I, will adorn
the new roster.
