ALL AMONG THE WHEELMEN

Successful Season Amonir Bicycle-Eiders Is Practically Closed.

President Orerman on the Subject of Tariff oa Wheels Zijj-Zijr's Opening Annus! "Turkej Run."

These are the melancholy days, the days of all the year when the bicyclist feels the worst, and when he gets np in the morniug and looks oat at the filling rain and the street knee-deep in mud. and then goes oat to the vroodshed and gires his wheel a day oil; the days in which he wishes he had the fl35 he paid for it, early in the season, to hay Christmas presents with: the days in which he ruminates on the glories of the

past, says harsh things about the present, and wonders if Johnson, 1:5055. and his elliptical sprocket will be beaten next summer, and the days in which the home trainer does doable duty at the clnb-hoase.while those who are using it shut their eyes and imagine that they are in Klysian fields scrapping with a "road-hog" or scorcniug to a cinder-path to the waving of banners and cheering of multitudes. The season is practically orer. Dealers retire into the back office where the store is and prepare for next year; the manufacturer is already at work on next season' output, and tha rider watts two weeks for enouah sunshine to ride fifteen minutes. The season has been a prosperous one. and toe outlook for the one to come is brilliant. Never was such an interest taken in 'cycle racing as in the summer just past, and from that fact alone are evolved enough air castles for the future to mako the craft generally happy. What is so generally, is true of Indianapolis. The months that have jut passed have brought her more prominently than ever before to the conntry at large as a bicycling center, and with the same energetio bands to push forward next year as did the present, her citizens will probably see some of the great 'cycling tournaments such as have attraeted half of the country in tb East. Politics in its ever-spreading scope has seized upon the bicycle and a number of prominent papers, botn daily and those devoted to 'cycling exclusively, have taken up the subject of the tariff on bicycles. Tbsy have hurled at each other, according to their beliefs, all that could be said for or against it. It is claimed by the one side that the tax, wbich is 45 per cent., is exorbitant and that it causes purchasers in this country to pay prices away above the value of the article they get. It waa charged that the Overman Wheel Company were selling for $100, in England, machines lor which they asked $14U here and various other assertions of a like nature were made. The most effective answer to these free-trade arguments is in letter from A. II. Overman, president of the factory mentioned. In sDeakingof selling machines cheaper m England, he said that it was true in isolated cases, but that it was always done at a loss and was for the simple purpose of having his make of a machine introduced in foreign markets in case a free-trade law would compel him to seek it. lie said he made no greater profit oil of his product than Enulish manufacturers did on theirs of the same grade, and closed by saying: "I would be more than willing to accept as the profits of my business the difference in the wages which I pay the l.UOO men who work for me, and what would b paid them in England. " It was the general opinionot a large number of prominent bicycle men, expressed in interviews, that a removal of the tarifl on themachines would work disastrously to the industry in this country, aud once again the free trade attackers have pulled the hole in after themselves. The forma opening and dedication of the Zig-zag Club's new house will be next Saturday night. The evening will be given over to a "smoker." and a roan who is fortunate enough to receive an invitation will never be sorry that he attended. Preparations are netngraade for the annual "turkey run" of the Zig zag Club. It has been customary for the club ever since its career began to hang up rive turkeys on Thanksgiving day, and then start the members out on a five or ten-mile run. the first man in to have his choice of the birds, and the next man next. The start will be made this year from the corner of Tenth and Meridian street, and the men will probably run to Broad KipdIo and back. The turkeys are already in the process of fattening, and they take kindly to it. A young fellow from a rural district purchased a bicycle at Hay & Willetts's not long ago and took it out to his country eat. He was one of those mortals in whom the germ of curiosity is large and well developed, and after a few days of riding on the "new-fangled" thing, be determined to see bow it was made. He took it all apart, even to the wheels, and when he struck the ball bearings he got disgusted. He took them out, carefully wrapped them in a piece of paper and took the next train for Indianapolis. He stalked into the store where be had purchased the machine, and, laying the little steel spheres down on the glsss-case, he ejeouiated: "There! look at ttietn there things. Found 'em right in the hub o' the wheel. Kid that merchme for tew er three days with 'eui in there, tew. Is'ow, what be you folks going to do about it!" When it was explaied a madder man never trod the foot-stool than he. There is still an effort being made to organize a foot-ball, team in the Cycling Club, which is being engineered by Ellis Hunter. Owing to the lateness of the seaBon it is feared that the team will not get into the field. The Zig-zag Club will attend the Thanksgiving day game in a body, and do its share of the yelling. H. T. Hearsey, the 'cycle-dealer, has been in Chicago for the past week, looking after next year's business. If the L. A. V. racing board were to be asked how it felt just aboat now, it ought to ;Sply that It waa auflering from a burning, "tinging sensation about the ears incident o being much talked about. Bicycling papers all nrer tbeconntry are devoting themselves to it assiduously. There are cbsrges of favoritism, etar-chamber sessions, and all manner of ranK heresy to the principles of amateurism, beside some very spicy cartooning on the subject. It seems to be the prevalent opinion that it needs this trussing-up fully as badly as it is being given. There is a scheme on foot by parties interested in bicycling in Chicago and New York to build from the one city to the other a pathway of asphalt for the exclusive use of riders. It is believed that the municipalities through which it would have to go. and even Congress, would donate literally to ita snccesi, and that it would be one of the greatest improvements of the age. It is proposed to muka it five feet in width aud have it well tended and protected. OX THE F00T-15ALL FIELD. Grrat Game Expected Between Butler and DePauw Xnt Saturday. The foot-ball game between Butler and DePauw next Saturday, at the Base-ball Park, will, if sign do not fail, be one of the closest and most interesting games ever seen in Indianapolis. DePauw students are pretty confident that Butler will be defeated, but they base their calculations on the showing that Butler has hitherto made this season. The Butler eleven baa been greatly strengthened aud is materially different from any tetm from that college that has appeared oa the foot-ball field before this year. If there is any weak point about it, it is in the lack of team practice. The individual make-up is splendid, and comes very near to the standard of the old charr.pinufthip dava of Butler. In fact, there will be about six of the old champion players iu the eleven, hfome of ttie hae not played before this aeaaon. Kt thav have taken part in the practice

games, and the unexpected good showing of the green men has stirred up their en- j tbusiasm, and brought them out once more. ' - & . t aV . '

i lie most encouraging reuv ui mo i was Butler's touch-down attainst Purdue. No other college has been able to score ntrainst the formidable Lafayette men for the last three years, and the Butler team was in comparatively bad condition when the score was made. DePauw has an excellent foot-ball organization this year, but it has done very little playing from wbich to estimate its strenuth. The eleven's farst game was with Ann Arbor, and it made a very good showing againstthat team, and might have won. had the entire time been played out. De Panw la working thia year for the championship. Oueof the strongest points

of the eleven is the tremendous rush line, in the center of which stands Captain fcmitb, with iICO rounds of body, and a long experience in foot-ball. Behind the lino are also swift and dashing half-backs. The whole organization is sound and has been undergoing coaching all season. Butler will not s n tier from lack of weight this year as last, however. The rush-line is alfto very heavy aud solid, though perhaps

not so heavy as the De Pauw line. Bsck of the line all the men are experienced players, including Captain Baker, whose ability is well known, and omerviIJe. a yonng player wbo used to captain the Indianapolis High-school eleven, and has shown himself to be one of the most brilliant players on the Indiana f cot-ball field this year. The game will be a struggle for second place among Indiana colleges. Unless De Pauw has developed unexpectedlv, Purdue has a pretty certain thing of easily carrying off the Indiana pennant this year. Butler dropped from first to third place last year, and is eager to get back her old position as the only rival of Purdue. DePauw hopes for the pennant, and will, cf course, do everything to prevent putting this effectually out of reach before the final game with Purdue is played. The chances are with DePauw and the odda are against Butler, but the prospects are, nevertheless, for a very interesting game, much more interesting than was thought early in the season. DEAL ESTATE RATHER PLAT.

Political Excitement of the Week Left the Market Ball. The past week had rather a depressing effect on tho real-estate market, there being, in tact, little activity in it. There are sullicientand legitimate reasons for it, however. The week was oneof the many similar which will doubtless come, cold and wet, and with hardly enough sunshine to allow of the umbrella getting out of sight, even for a walk around the square, and it was the last week before the national eleotion. Though theoampaign has been a notoriously quiet one. and business has snflered practically nothing from it during the earlier stages, yet the last week has brought a more or less unsettled feeling and an inclination to hold off, and see how it goes. If its outcome means a change of administration it protends a radical difference from the present in business methods and in the currency of the country, and not a few men of meaus prefer to freeze to w bat tbey already have than to make any change before the question Is decided for good. The dealers are content with the present from the fact that the rast has been so good, and judge the future by that past. The transfers of the week, while they show a fairly large aggregate, are entirely com

prised of email deals. The figures are gl73,GS4. L. D. Illbbard'a Funeral. The funeral services of L. D. Hibbard, late conductor of the Vandalia, will be held in Christ Church at 3 p. sr. to-day.
