HERB was a time when
rowing regattai on the
waters hereabouts were
the chief events of the
year, but for some reason
this exciting branch of
amateur sport has been
allowed to sink into a
state of "innocuous des
uetude" that is fast
proving painful. It is
really distressing to read
of regattas on the Hud
son or tome other water course that is no
better for the purpose than our own. and to
think that the wealth and beauty and fashion
of Western Pennsylvania might be enjoying
the same kind of sport if its citizens were
only enterprising enough to bring about a
reinstatement. There are in this vicinity
as many people who take interest in re
gattas as lucre are in any other iuland sec
tion of the Union, and they believe that
with careful fostering from a small start
this season, the sport might easily be
brought to the front, but no one seems will
iuc to take the initial step.
To make up for what is lacking in watery
Sclds the tennis associations are preparing
tn make matters lively enough on the courts
during the next month or so. There is to
be a tournament at Latrobe this week, and
in the course ot the next tew weeks there
will be three tournaments at the Pittsburg
Tennis Club's grounds, one at the Sewickley
Athletic Club's jrrounds, another at Cora
ooli, one at the East End Gym courts and
another is in prospect'at Kisk'iminetas. In
one of the Pittsburg Tennis Club's tourna
ments the enthusiasts will probably have
sn opportunity of seeing some of the best
players of the time. It is expected that
they will be induced to stop over here on
their way home lrom the big tourneys in
lbs East.
Football is coming into life with a vigor
ous activity that promises well tor excel
lent sport commencing next month. Sev
eral teams are in process of formation and
more are in contemplation. All of the
players are enthusiastic, more enthusiastic
than they were last year and they will go
into the contests determined to win, what
ecr the physical consequences.
The Pittsburg Tennis Club has three
tournaments on hand, a club tournament, a
mixed doubles tournament and an invita
tion tournament. The affairs of the club
are in vry good shape at present, and the
100 or more members take a great interest
in all that goes on, so that all three of these
tourneys are certain to be the greatest of
successes. Before any of them come off,
the new clubhouse will be ready for
nce.upa.ncy, and it will be a great
iddition to the grounds. It contains a
l.-vga tilwr ind dressing rooms for the la
dies who are members of the club, and there
are ample accommodations lor the men.
There will be shower baths of the latest ap
proved plan ami other luxurious accessories
that cannot be dispensed with in an aggre
gation like the Pittsburg X. C It will be
only a week or so before the last bit of work
on the house will be done, and then the
members will move their belongings up from
the old house they have occupied, and there
will be a grand housewarming. At present
a good many of the members are off to the
seaside, but tbey will be back in time to
take part in the tourneys.
J. H. Dippold, who is one of the best
road riders in this vicinity, took to the
wheel iu 1887. He is one of the charter
members ot the Allegheny Cyclers, and is
the oldest member of that organization in
town now. The attractions of the road out
weigh everything else with him and he has
never yet taken to the racing track, but h e
takes a long tour in some direction every
vear. He has been East as faras Boston on
Lii wheel, West as far as Chicago and St.
Louis, South to Fredericksburg, Va., and
North to Buffalo and Kiagara Falls. He
has also made some good time
over rough roads. On one occasion
he made 103 miles in nine hours and 45
Ijradt Milter.
minutes with AI Banker, from Girard to
Buffalo, on his Victor, and there is hardly a
road in this part of the Union on which he
has not made the dust fly while on his
pleasure trips. This year he intends to
take a trip through the Shenandoah Valley
with several of the Allegheny cyclers.
They will visit Richmond, Old Point Com
fort and Norfolk. The picture presented
of him in this issue was taken when he rode
an ordinary. He now rides a pneumatic
safety.
Pittsburg was at one time noted all over
the country tor her expert rifle team. The
old Pittsburg Rifle Club possessed as good a
1,000-yard team as was to be iouml within
500 miles, and their 200-yard team was as
line as any iu the country. The interest in
rifle-shootins has died out, however, and
Pittsburg does not now possess a thriving
club in that line. The shotgun oflered ad
antages in the ease by which one can be
come an expert shot, aud the exciting sport
of shootinc live birds diverted the atten
tion of marksmen from the rifle to the shot
gun. The old members of the Pittsburg
Jtifle Club are about to revive the old
time sport in all its glory. The scarcity
of birds and came in general has caused a
reversion of feeling in favor of the rifle, and
the promoters of the reorganization think
the time is now ripe lor forming a strong
club. The promoters of the new club are
Christopher JIagee, Jr., George Hodgdon,
Dr. Keazey, D. H. Stoner, Dr. D. B. Ram
fev, G. E. Painter, 0. A. Painter, L. Brend,
Dr. II. P. Orr and Dr. Winslow. A meet
ine to'effect an organization will be held
Monday evening. Representatives of the
different rifle clubs, which are barely exist
ing in this city, will be present and will
doubtless merge their associations into the
new organization.
"It is proposed to make this strictly a
fjrst-class cluD in every way, said Vi. 1).
g
B. Ramsey. "It is our intention to
buy a piece ot ground which, strange
as it may sound, will not improve.
"In our old club we had experience
enough in this line to know exactly what
we want. We would no sooner get a rifle
range fixed up nicely than people would
commnnoe to build up around us. Then the
next thing we would hear would be all sorts
ot complaints about the noise we made in
firing, and finally an injunctions would
come,preventlng us from using the range,and
compelling us to move. No, this time we
will buy some out-of-the-world lot which
has not the least prospect of improving a
cent's worth. We have a suitable lot now
in view. On this we will erect complete
1,000, 900, 800 and 200 yard ranges. AVe are
to have a fine clubhouse which will be a
feature. Out of the members we now have
in view, we could to-day get ajteam of ten
men who would campare lavorably with
any in the country. It we can judge by the
team we had some years ago, hen the in
ducements offered lor rifle practice were
very slim, the recoil of the heavy guns we
used being sufficient excuse tor any man
tiring of the sport, we should hive a team
now that could sweep the country."
Some of the old members of the Pittsburg
Rifle Club have fine records. Mr. G. E.
Painter is probably the most expert shot
gun and rifle target shot in the country.
A gentleman saw Mr. Heed Bailer, son of
Judge Bailey, shoot at COO yards range and
put 35 consecutive shots in the butt's eye
and at the 900-vard range score 16 bull's
eves. There are still a few members of the
old club who hold together and go around
to the different shoots given by outside
organizations and manage to carry off not a
few of the prizes. Mr. D. H. Stoner on a
recent trip succeeded in capturing a num.
ber ot first and second prizes. The gentle
men are verv enthusiastic over the prospeot
of the organization ot the club aud are work
ing hard for it.
Louis Miller is a familiar rider about the
WILLIAM TL WILSON,
roads of Western Pennsylvania and adja
cent sections of the union. He is a mem
ber of the Allegheny Cyclers and com
menced riding in 1889. As with many
others in the club the race track has no at
traction for him, and he has so far taken a
largo amount of pleasure in viewing the
country from his wheel. A year ago he rode
to Chautauqua and return, and last year he
rolled out lour centuries. So far this year
he has made one century, but
he is trying another to-day, to
New Castle and return, and he expects to
make five or six before the season is over.
Since May 1 he has been on his wheel
whenever business and weather permitted,
and his mileage record so lar shows that he
has worked the treadles for 1,899 miles. He
says his cyclometer will show 5,000 miles
before the year is over. He expects to be
one of the party to go down the Shenandoah
Valley this summer and will set a lively
pace for the rest of them.
Sewickley is getting ready for a tennis
tournament, to be held there the last week
in August Messrs. Christy, Porter and
Woods have been appointed on the Com
mittee of Arrangements and if anyone can
carry it through to a success these three
gentlemen can. Sewickley is a battlefield
on which the tennis champions delight to
meet and the entry list will be a large one.
It will undoubtedly include nearly all of
those who were at the Pittsburg Tennis
Club's tournament and more besides. The
Sewickley Athletic Association can afford
to offer handsome prizes. It cleared some
where in the neighborhood of (500 by its
circus lately and is in good financial condi
tion. Its courts are in good order and the
surroundings ore pleasant, so that the at
tendance will probably be all that could be
desired, more than enough to pay all the
expenses of the tourney.
William H. Wilson is an active member of
the Allegheny 'Cyclers, the Keystone
Wheelmen, the Columbus Century CInb,
the Three A'a and other organizations. He
keeps his wheel busy, but so far this season
has made only one century and his millage
record shows 1.200 miles since May 1. His
century was made with Mr. Pethcord oyer
the Lake Shore road in 12 hours and 50
minutes, very good time considering the
state of the roads at the time. He will
make the run again and is confident that he
can break the record. While he has never
yet raced, he has an inclination that way
and next season will probably be seen cross
ing the wire in the lead in many of the
races. He will race under the Three A's
colors and judging from the time he made
at a private trial a short time since, a trifle
over 3 minutes, he will be a formidable
opponent to some of the older hands. He
was in the 13-mile; road race of the Key
stones yesterday, an account of which will
be found in another column.
The second annual tournament of the La
trobe Tennis Club will take place this week,
commencing on Thursday and continuing
on Friday and Saturday. It is open to the
members of any of the clubs in Western
Pennsylvania and it is more than probable
that the entry list will be larger than last
year. Some of Pittsburg's players will be
theie and representatives ot several active
clubs in the vicinity. The events will be
gentlemen's singles and doubles; first, con
solation and runner up prizes to be awarded
in each, the latter to go to the losers in the
final matches. Trial matches will be best
two out of three sets, the rules ot the U. S.
N. L. T. A. governing the plav. Entries
will close Wednesday at 12 o'clock M. and
will be received up to that time by John'
Henderson, Secretary, box 366, Latrobe,
Pa. Tbe drawings lor the preliminary
round will be made at 1 o'clock p. M. on
August 10 at the office of C H. Wakefield,
IJgonier street, Latrobe, and all interested
are invited to be present Those who enter
at the tournament will be taken care of by the
Latrobe Club and outside of the tennis
there will be receptions to the visitors in
the evenings. The prizes, it is said, are
very handsome, and the members of the
home club will make a hard fight to keep
them. Messrs. Joseph OL Head, C H.
Wakefield and John Henderson ar mem
bers of the managing committee.

While doing Southwestern Ohio on their
wheels, Messrs. Charles , Gilbert and Joe
Deltov spent several very pleasant days
with the Fred Will Fishing Club, of the
West End, at their camp on Will's creek.
Among the members of the club then in
camp were the following gentlemen: Fred
Will, B. Dugan. T, J. Shaughnessy, T. A.
Dugan, J. Lauth, It. F. Walsh, J. Hart
man, William Flvnn, T. L. MoHugh, J. F.
Madden, J. Gaud'lv, J. Will, P. J. Dugan,
William Dempsy, P. Walsh, F. Kelly, P.
J. Sullivan and William Hartman. The
boys have been having a very pleas
ant summer and will be sorry when
they have to leave their picturesque camp
behind and come back to the stern realities,
eta, for another year. They will bring
with them, however, enough fairy tales of
huge fishes to last until the next season.
The Young Men's Catholic Club, of the
West End, will have a big field day at
Aliqnippa Grove on Saturday next. It Is
expected that' about 4,000 people will be in
attendance to witness the events, which
will comprise 100-yard, 220-yard, 440-yard,
880-yard, one mile and two-mile runs, a 120

The Dispatch correspondent, writing
from Asbury Park on Friday, says:
To-day and yesterday were particularly
bright occasions on account of the bicycle
races in the athletic grounds and the pres
ence there as a participant of Mr. Arthur A.
Zimmerman, the champion wheelman, who
has just returned from bis tramps in Eng
land. Last evenlne the local club of Ijioy
clists and numbers of visiting wheelmen
held a Jantern parade along the beach on
tbe famous old boardwalk, one of the most
beautirul sights of the. summer. The wheels
were beautifully ornamented and carried
jnst sufficient light to brin? out the design
which the rider desired to produce. Thirty
lady bicyclists from all parts of the country
took part in the parade. Frizes will later
be awarded for the best decorations on this
occasion. Mayor Edwin Stewart, of Phila
delphia, antt-Mavor Daniel J. Bechtel, of
Trenton, reviewed the parade and will act as
judges in awarding tbe prizes. Along the
route the houses were brilliantly illumi
nated. On the evening before, tbe annual boat
carnival, on Wesley Lake, a pretty sheet of
water separating Asbury Park and Ocean
Grove, was witnessed by the largest number
of people ever assembled on a single occasion
here. Scores and hundieds of people drove
in from the snrioundlng resorts, Elberon,
Spring Lake and Beltnar. All the cottages
along the lako were splendidly lighted up,
and very many made special decorations for
the occasion. Mr. Cone, of Philadelphia, had
a large. star, composed of lanterns, with one
Eolnt resting against the gable of
is house and the base 75
feet distant on the sidewalk near
the lake. The long procession of boats
moved up and down the lake to music of
several bands andprodnced many beautiful
designs with their evolutions. Prizes will
be awarded for the most beautifully decor
ated boats. After the carnival the Immense
concourse of people dispersed, but thou
sands of them were participants In the
various parties and dances held in many
gaily decorated houses, the occupants of
which took advantage of the opportunity
afforded to give a little social affair under
such pleasant auspices.
New life has been infused into the East
End Gymnastic Club, or, as it will here
after be known, the Pittsburg Athletic Club.
It has within the past week finished the
work of adopting its new constitution and its
application tor permission to change its name
is before the courts. One of the chief tilings
accomplished by the change in the consti
tution is the enlargement of the powers of
the committees ands their increase in num
ber. Each now has absolute control of
everything pertaining to itsp articular brach.
These committees are: House and field,
Messrs. Lang, Herron, Scott, Richie and
Davis; membership (elective), Messrs.
Wells, Scott, King, Davies, Richie and
Hartman; auditing,Messrs.Caruthers,Davies
and Bell; baseball, Messrs. Stevenson, Dan
Barrand Simons; football, Messrs. Barbour
and Proctor; tennis and lacrosse, Messrs.'
Dravo, McLaren and Culbertson; athletic,
Messrs. A. D. Borland, Boren, Scott, Gard
ner and'Wells. The President has under
advisement the appointment of the wheel
men's committee.
Each of these committees is --already
actively busy with the arrangements of
eventsto come. For instance, the Athletic
Committee has In hand the open .meeting'
of September 3 and also the last field meet
ing of the club later in September. The
open meeting will be a great aflair, and
amateurs from many outside cities will be
entered, including the Schuylkill Navy, of
Philadelphia; the Manhattan Clnb, ot New
York; Cleveland, Detroit and other places
that possess athletie organizations. A feat
ure will be made of the wheel races, and it
is expected that come 'of the fastest riders
of the day will be there. The Columbia
will have a team there, and another one will
be on from Cleveland.
The Tennis Committee is busy arranging
for the tournament on September 8, 9 and
10. This will also be a great aflair and will
contain mixed doubles that are alwavs
among the most interesting events of 'a
tourney. The committee if also taking
stens to organize a lacrosse club. The Bane.
ball Committee has the team thoroughly
organized now and tho men wiU hereifter
play steadily in the positions to which they
are best fitted. On Tuesday it will meet
the famous Fayette City team, one. of the
strongest in the State.
Just at present the entire attention is
given to outdoor sports, but there, are plans
lor indoor sports and amusements for the
winter. A mandolin and sither olub is an
assured thing and a glee olub is also a cer-
