New base running rules had to be recognized for the game. After the ball had been placed in the cannon, the runner was not allowed to steal, and he could only be advanced when the ball was ihlt or the catcher made an error.

in Her Honor One of the Features of Iler Invasion—Texas Tickled Over Her Triumph*.

tn the city of Waco last May one of the features of the event was the contest of the different cities of the state for the most beautiful young lady representative. Miss Dwyer was the choice of San Antonio in the contest, anl she carried off the honors and was I selected as the "Texas Queen of Beauty" over all competitors. A trip through Mexico, with all expenses paid, was the prize awarded the successful contestant. It

waB

not until

July 3 that Miss Dwyer left, accompanied by her brother, Mr. Samuel Dwyer, on her triumphant tour. She had expected to make the trip in a quiet, unostentatious way, but her whole trip was one continual round of receptions, entertainments and banquets. Miss Dwyer arrived in Monterey on the evening of the 3d of Julv, and was met at train with a brass band and fully 5,000 people, among whom were all the public officials of the city and the leading members of the American colony.

On July 4 her Mexican admirers in Monterey arranged for a bull fight exhibition in her honor. When Miss Dwyer entered the special box the fight had already begun, and all eyes were turned toward her and the whole crowd gave her a perfect ovation. The first bull had already been killed, and the manager announced that the second bull would be killed especially in honor of the Texas queen. The matador drew off his scarlet cloak and deftly threw i^ into the box and upon the chair occupied by Miss Dwyer. This act is considered a great honor to the recipient of the attention, At the first thrust of the short sword the matador killed the bull, and the spectators went wild cheering Miss Dwyer. She bowed her acknowledgments, and the crowd burst forth into another prolonged cheer for her. That evening the bull fighters called in a body at Miss Dwyer's car and presented her the bloody banderilleros with which the bull had been tortured. They alto made her a present of their photographs taken in one group, with a pretty verse inscribed on the back dedicated to her. On the following morning Miss Dwyer left for Tampico. Gov. Gutierrez showed the distinguished guest every attention, and his private secretary escorted her to all the points of interest about the city. A complimentary concert was given her at the train before her departure for Aguas Calientes. Miss Dwyer had no idea of being received with honors at Aguas Calientes, but there was a brass band at the depot to welcome her. At the governor's palace she was tendered a public reception. She made an address to the assemblage, which was responded to by the governor. She was also given a special concert in Jardin de San Marcus, one of the most beautiful gardens in Mexico.

From Aguas Calientes Miss Dwyer next proceeded to Guanajuato. There was a brass band at the depot to welcome her. She was taken through the magnificent theater in that city. This

Go a Mile a Minute—The

Rider's Energy Conserved.

BICYCLE has just been completed in

puibiuii, the leg of the rider. For years bicycle manufacturers have sought some method whereby the waste of power could be prevented, and Gerald Barker has found it. The change is, of course, in the gearing, but it is not a chainless wheel—that sort which, it is said, will next year be the king of all wheels. If the opinions of experts are worth anything, the new wheel is the one that will take precedence over all. There are three reasons why this new invention claims attention. The first is that it is far speedier: the second is that the propelling power is almost doubled without increase of exertion, and the third is that on a racing wheel the compound crank will be such a gain as it is hard to imagine. It is asserted that by the use of the compound crank a cyclist is f.nubled to uae at least a 40 per cent higher gearing without increasing the stroke of the pedals or the pressure on them. The machines built especially for ladies may have their cranks shortened and the distance between the pedals considerably reduced instead of using a higher gearing. A 28-inch driving wheel is geared to a hundred inches by the ordinary pattern chain running over a twentyfive toothed sprocket wheel and a seven toothfd Jiub ring. The sun and planet wVeels merely control the relative position of the main and secondary cranks. The mechanism consists of a sun wheel rigidly and OT^c^ntrically attached to each aide f«f the crank braoket and a pair of t-i'ow cranks. One half of each crank encloses a sun wheel and the outer half encloses a planet wheel of the samo size as the son wheel, and engaging directly therewith. Each pedal Is screwed into a planet wheel at a point midway between its center and the pitch line of its teeth. Each crank has half the spindle attached to it. This spindle is hollow, and as each half is cut to the same skew and they are brought together in a bearing sleeve by means of a hollow tie bolt, provided with a conical lock nut, the two halves form a well supported scarfed spindle. Keys and cotters are dispensed with, and an unusually wide crank bracket bearing is provided, the ball races being more than four and one-half inches apart. The chain line is brought within the bearings, while the overhang of cranks aad pedals is considerably reduced. The planet wheel bearings consist each of a single ball race of about four and one-half Inches In diameter, and the pedal pin makes its circuit within this ball space. All the bearings are cup adjusting, and are provided wit* simple and efficient looking devices. On roadster machines dust caps are fitted to the inner faces of the cranks, so that the sun and planet wheels are entirely cased in.

The foot motion is but slightly different from the circular motion now in vogue, and is by no means unpleasant. These compound cranks add somewhat to the weight of a bicycle, but the inventor claims that the power gained more than compensates for the added weight. This ingenious mechanism is about to be fitted to a number of racing machines, and the results of the trial will be awaited with interest. A very well known bicycle dealer said: "One thing is certain, the people who make wheels and
