The tournament» certainty I
That’s (the way erects are shaping
tbemielvee.
Th* Tw*e-BnooHD**s suggestion
that a bicycle tournament was the thing,
caused a stir In blcyole circles.
The wheelmen of the city are ardently
enthuslsatlo orer the suggestion and will
go to work to derise plans to Insure Its
materialisation.
In oonrersatlon with Mr. W. F. Mims,
an expert and enthusiastic derotee of
the wheel, he remarked:
“If the bicycle riders In Amerlcus will
only unite and determine to push the
scheme for all that It Is worth, there Is
not the shadow of a reason why It
should not be a brilliant success.’"
“What about a track?”
“Oh that Is easily answered. For
about one hundred and fifty dollars
nice track could be graded and cindered
or graveled at Ries Park, about one
quarter of a mile In length that will meet
fully the requirements of the oocaslon.
Now there are about sixty-five wheel
men in Amerlcus, sll enthusiastic In
anything pertaining to the bicycle, and
I do not hesitate to say that they will
accord the proposltion.their cordial sup
port and sympathy."
“And the gate receipts,what of them?”
“Of course they will go to the blcyole
club under whose auspices the tourna
ment will be held. Right here Is an un
answerable argument to show that the
.plan is not only feasible, but remunera
tive as well. A bicycle tournament will
be a novelty here and excursions could
be run, realizing handsomely for the pro
jectors of the scheme.”
“Would any visiting members of the
fraternity be on hand?”
"Ob, yes, they would be invited and
would contribute much to crown the oo
caslon with the success It so richly
merits. Messrs. Pohlll and Bantly and
the wheelmen in Augusta, Atlanta, CO'
lumbus and Macon would be Invited to
attend Handsome medals would be of
fered to the successful contestants and a
generous rivalry would be aroused,”
Now let the * bicyclists of Amerious
form themselves into a club, or resurrect
their old one and work together for the
success of the tournament

NAILLESS HORSESHOES
A New Idea That Seduces the Blacksmith's
Importance.
A new form of horseshoes has been
patented which can be quickly and se
curely placed on a horse’s hoof and as
quickly removed, no nails being re
quired.
The shoe Is made In two hinged parts,
each similar In shape to one-ualf of the
common shoe. Thin metallic shields at
tached to the shoe cover part of the hoof,
and meet in front In the Interlocking
knuckles, through Which a pin is thrust
to form the hinge.
Around the upper edge of the shields
are bands doubled inward at the rear to
the project behind the heel of a horse
and terminating in flanges whioh receive
a clamping bolt for fastening the shoe
securely.
“They must have mighty queer peo
ple in New York," observed Col. Blue-
grass of Kentuoky.
“Why so?" asked Mr. Dukaneof Pitts
burg.
“They are complaining of a water
famine.”—Pittsburg Chronicle-Tele
graph.
We have more novelties this season
than ever before. We Invite everybody
to look them over.
James Frickcr A Buo.
Captivates tbs Audience With His Splen
did Bandit ion ot “From Sire to Son."
Milton Nobles was on the board* last
evening and drew one of the largest
bouses of the season. The “beauty and
chivalry” of Amerlcus were gathered to
see him in “From Sire to 8on,” and to
aay that be surpassed their highest ex.
peotatlons is but to express it feebly.
He has a clear and vigorous conception
of the requirement* of high tragedy, and
his attitudes and varying expressions
were wonderfully reallstie and thrilling.
The scene was first laid In California,
and all the rough phases of the days of
'49 were portrayed true to life; from
California It was transferred to Venice.
The scenery representing the “bride
Adrlatle” In her glory and picturesque
glamour, la carried by the company and
certainly emphasizes the effect and adds
Interest to the denouement of the plot,
whioh oconrs In the sky ohamber of an
old palace.
Here Milton Nobles and his wife ex
hlblted some of their superb talents in
tragedy, and when the eurtain closed on
the finale, the audience were almost
fixed to their seats.
His support was most excellent, and
we can aay without fear of offending the
most sensitive taste that there was not
an Indifferent actor among them,
Milton Nobles' repertoire Is a large
one; but he seems equally happy in any
of his selections.
The following is the cast of characters,
an aggregation of talents hardly sur
passed by any troupe on the road

MORE STREETS NEEDED.
Considerable Activity In Real t stata Cir
cles Recently.
In interviews with prominent real
estate men yesterday the reporter
learned that, although business circles
have of late been laboring under some
depression, there have In a quiet way,
been several Important real estate trans
fers daring the past few days, and pricee
for city and suburban property are rang
ing steadily upward.
The prices paid for these lota, and the
steady demand for them [proves most
conclusively the progress and growth of
the etty. :
Owners are holding and buyers eager
ly seize upon any opportunity to pur
chase.
The following are some of tbe recent
ly effected transactions:
Mr. Luther Bell bought the corner lot
on Cburab and Strife streets, adjoining
the reeidence of Mr. Eugene Hawkins.
Mr. H. T. Davenport baa aold to Mr.
U. B. Harrold bis former residence and
lot on the south aide of College street,
between Lee and Jaokaon.
Mr. Alex Cook baa aold V> Mr. Alex
ander a place on Spring street
Beyond Brooklyn two traots of laud,
forming a part of tbe J. P. Guerry prop
erty, sold for a realdenee lot and dairy
farm.
Mr. Tom Green bought a portion of tbe
Eaeklel Taylor property on Brown street,
near Taylor.
All of these transfers ware made at
high figures, the seller commanding bis

PLEDGED TO MEASURES
LOOKING TO THE REDUCTION

OF
Ot Taxation In the City or Americas—The

Messrs. Blalock, Miller and Burt I
Such are the nominees of tbe demo'
cratic party!
And by reviewing the files of Tub
Times-Rxcobder the fact will stand out
In bold relief that eaeh of tbe above
pledged to measures of reform, auob
will involve a material reduction in tbe
present burdensome tax rate.
The publlo will watch with anxious
eye the drift of legislation In tbe council
ball on this particular And vital Issue
All three gentlemen expressed them'
■elves with candor as being heartily
favor of a reduction of the tax rate,
■uob la feasible, and there appears to
little doubt that a reduction might be
effected, even for 1892, under certain
conditions.
They are all opposed at present
street paving, inasmuch as a public im
provement of this magnitude will un
doubtedly thrill the pocket nerve of all
tbe tax payers, If following so closely
water, sewer and public building expen
dltures.
Some ten or twelve of our moat prom.
Incut and Influential citizens were ap
proached yesterday regarding the pro
priety of a reduction in the tax rate and
they were strongly in favor of any meas
ures that the oouocl! might Inaugurate
looking to this end.
It is certainly a popular issue la Amer
icas, as has been shown by tbe vote
the primary Wednesday, and tbe taxpay.
era will feel grateful to any alderman,
old or new, who co-operates in tbe effort
that will certainly be made to reduce
taxation.
Mr. G. M. Eldrldge will, no doubt,
suoceed himself as olty engineer, as his
management of his department ha* been
entirely satisfactory to the city govern
ment and the public.

and looks well with any -kind of ball

made In three or more different colon

with a flower-trimmed dress consists of 1
buneh of roses and poppies with silk Ms
