Kew clubs are constantly bolne formoil. nnd their membership etendll? It Is ono of tho most honlthtuLsports, and chos its devotees plonty of opon-al- f exer-cit- e without harmful oterexrtlon. Twenty yprtrs abo. whon Bamo was more plentiful, lltllo was dona In trapsliootlne. and then It was mostly at llro birds. At that tfmo vast numbors ot wild pigeons had tholr roosts In Pennsylvania, Now York, and other Btntes. Theso were caught In nets for uso In tho traps. 4thoyboeame scaroa and the sport grew In popularity It was necessary to Invent a substl-ta- t, something Inanimate, to imltato ns eloso-l- y as possible the flleht ot a bird. The first Invontlon was the "Gyro." a tin contrivance with projecting arms, on which the wind should strike, giving it a gyrating motion, this met with little favor. Tlion came glass balls, of which there wore several varieties, Bomo of them were paekod with feathers, which Qtlcd tho nlr when the ball was broken. But glass ball shooting soon grew too easy f hoy were too readily broken. Being hoavy tho wind had llttlo or no action on thorn : thoy wrq always thrown In one direction and at the same elevation, so breaking thora grow monotonous and Was no teat of skill, About tort years npo the prcsont stylo of Urctt, though in much ruoro crude form, was devised. This wns tho old Llgownky Clay Pigeon, a sauur-hapc- d article rands of clay and iabcd hard. For u time it was the leading mtisllo used as a Dying target. When It first came into mo the prncesi of unnufocturo was very cxnonslve, cncli target cotlngtho fchootor About Avo cents. Ana method of Introducing thorn to the public, th couiimny engaged tho rennwnod shooters, C'npt. Jiognrdus nnd Dr. Carver, at a largo expouso, who went about tho country giving exhibition matches. For . a tlmo the company uiik hUoccRsfui. but ' shootors becamo dipsatlsflexl with their cofct and also with tho fact that they would, not bront easily, though hard kit' with phot About this tlmo tho Cham-pe- rl In Cartridge Company of Clovelnnd formu- lated a composition ot planter and pitch which was moulded lnoravtiiit slmllarehnpeusthe Llgowsky Dlcoon. nnd by tho advlco of an Eng- lishman they 'adopted tho name ot blue rock for their targot. llio first yenr ot the bluo rocks the sales waro comparatively sm ill. but eul sequentl) thoy supeneded tho Ligow-sk- y pigeon, bolng a much castor bird to break when struck by shot Dur- ing tho year lbDl tho sales of this com-n- were about l'J.OOO.OOO blue rocks. Another company engaged In the manufac- ture ot targets is tho Peoria Ulnckbird Com- pany. They mako a bird of like shapo, though aomposHj ontirelrnf plteh. In 1880 they were marketing about a.XH.(KX). though at present time the output Is probably Bomewliat smaller. Next came the btandard-Keyston- o Targot Company of Now London. Their output is about L'.500.0(X) a year. Tho United btatos Target Company at Findlay, O., is a new con- cern, started In December last, which is now making about 12.000 targets a day. Tho Klnir-blr- d Company, at Cazenovia. N. .. has been in exlstonce, for somo years, and tholr missiles are largely usod. All these targets moot a similar saucer shape. As with targets, so with tho traps for throw- ing them. Mirny improvements have been made. Tho old " Gyro' trap was n very crude contrivance Thu glass ball trap was adapted only for missiles of that nhape. The flrt Ugowsky trap was neceBiarilyau experiment, though ft threw those blrd very well. Tim trap of the present day is much improved and differs In rauoy from tho e.irly ones. One of the best and mo'-- t universally unud Is tho new North Kxnert trap. It is madi principally of east iron, with a linen about a foot high on which roMntin arm about two aada halt feet lung. This arm can be placed atuimoHt any elevation, being connected tiv means of a movable bolt to the circular head of the Upright post of trap, which rests in u ball socket In tho Imso or stand of the trap, and can be turned easily, thus allowing tho tarsrot to be thrown at any angle or elevutlon. This arm contains tho trigger sprins and winging arm. with currier. Tho carrier is having on one side a rained slot, in whloh tho flange of tho target re-t- s. uiu uriniy in piaee oy menus or me soring and a rubber button on the ond of the arm. Tlio sudden stoppnge of tho swinging arm after the tranhns been swung force-th- o tar- get out of the carrier, whon it nails away to the right, left, or Htraightauay. nnd at anyeluvu-tio- according us the trap lias been set. Targets are usually thrown from forty to fifty yards, though tho IKtaneo may be in- creased hy tightening tho tension ot tho prine. which is of MeW. about nine inches in length, nnd has a pressuro of 250 pounds. Originally these traps were sprung by moans of a rope attached to the arm and carried back of tho shooter, but n late Improvement is In the use of electricity by means of a device known as tho North electric pulL Tho trigger Is connected to tho electric trup. which is bolt tasiog1own through the top of tho buttery fiox. tno lower end of the holt resting on oue end of tho releasing lever. The other end oi the lever passes just under the edge of the Mdo lev or which connects with the battery. Tho electric pull is oonneeted. by means of lung wires, to a dry bat- tery on the platform just bohlnd the shooter sstnnd. When tho current is on the eloetric button is touched, the top of side lever draws toward the lattery, roleaxlng tiie bot- tom lever anci causing tho holt with the spring attachment to drop down, pulling the trigger ot the trap with ft, and letting loose the swing- ing arm which throws tho targot Into the air. Th nctlun l iustnntiineouK, and necessitates tnurb loss labor on the purl of the puller tlian Shon using rotw. vhlch wore also liable to entangled nnd break, lormpily but i single trap was used, one teun going to thu score at a time, falling back after his shot. As shooters multiplied this f:rew too slow. !nt enough targets could be during u day. Tlu targot manufac- turers were hero iuterestcd ns well as the hooters, so one of thorn devised what is fuown ns the Keystone riipld.'lring system, yndor its provisions ilvo traps are generally used, though t target number may bo and often are used. With Ilvo traps nix men step to tho score nt once. Hveinon each faces on f the ti ups, while tho sixth stands behind t number one. Beginning nt the left the r hooter at number one calls "pull." His trap "sprung, and before the "hoof his shot has jieo aivay, uumiier two j ills pull," and so on Bown the line.

Won Is? Ifarrnrtl a FrMay at Naw Havens -- TaU Made a Hard Flglat for It The Ilnrvnrd-Yal- o Cup. or, as it Is properly known, tho "University Track Athlotlo Cup," Is the outcome otan agreamont onterod Into between tho alumni nnd undergraduates of tho two unlvcrsltlos for a sorlcn ot track and field athletic contests from 1801 to 1800. THE HARVARD-TAL- E CUT. The cup, which Is of sterling silver, standing sixteen Inches high, was made by Tiffany, and is unquestionably the most boautitul college tronhy overcompotod forln this country. It Is Grecian In form, nnd thoroughly classical in Its entire treatment. Around tho body, etched In relief work, are pictured emblem- atic: iliruros ot the early athletes In their strugglo for the laurel wreath which the God- dess of Victory holds aloft for the winner, while the ola trumpeter or announcer of the ancient period stands In tho midst of the field and with his trumpet announces the re- sult of the contest Forming a border around tho nook of the cup Is the Inscription. "Uni- versity Track Athletlo Cup." On the body ot the cup is the Greok word " Atblonlkn." signifying victory in the games, and just beneath the flold sceno is a palm branch boaring the seals of Harvard and Yale. Onthereverso side ot the cup are the nlno laurel wreaths, in which wilt be engraved from year to year the name of the university coring tho winning number of points In the while there is also a large wreath for fames, tho one which shall eventually hold the cup by winning the majority of the nine annual contests. vex. FAixrrs alborak. What tka 4S.rooter Looks 1.1 ka After Maay Changes, Oen. Paine has been working hard all winter remodelling his Alborak. Last year the boat was. a failure. She started in eight raoos and managed to finish second once. She is now at Lawley's. In Boston, and present! a very different appearance from what she did last year. Her lead keel has boen recast and boltod on to a false oak keel, so that it is two feet lower than it was before. In appearance now she somewhat resembles Mr. Bogors's boat Wasp. The lead, keel of the Wasp, how- ever, has less slope ut the forwurd end. THE ALDORAE OF The changes thnt have boen mado In the Al- borak hnvo nad tbe effect ot lightening her up to the extent of about two tons. The new lead keel has been so hung that, while the boat will float at her old waterllno lift, she will be con- siderably above tho lino forward. This will decreaso her load water line length, and help to tako something otT the big allowance that she Pad to glvo tbe otlior bouts last year. It is claimed that these changes will make her easier to drive than ever before. She will have moio power by reason of lower lead, and will show a larger lateral plane with which to hold up to windward. The work on the alterations Is well along, and it is expeoted that the Alborak will be ready for the Boston races in June. Crack Yachts Hettlac Sealy Tor Bnslaeea.

Now racing men demand longer raoos. That long, dlstanco races can be promoted with a good degreo of succoss is evident from the success ful termination ot tho Business Mon's Cycling League's 100-mll- e road race, which took pise on Monday last. In that race there ware over sixty entries, and ot that numbor forty-eig- men started. Roads of all descriptions were encountered In tho race, yet tho distance was covered in 7 hours 34 mlnutos and 110 soconds. In tho Mllburn and Pullman road racos each season, the nvcrago numbor ot competitors Is about 400. which Is greatly In ozcoss ot the number of men who compete in track events. It 1 In England that long-dlstan- road and track racing is promoted to a big extent The 875-mtl- o ride ot Q. P.

The London County Cycling and Athletlo Club will hold a twenty-four-ho- path race noxt month, and the recent twenty-four-ho- performance of J. Is. Bates places long-distan- riding In the lead. The foreign racing men are In advance ot the Americans in this respect but the American wheelmen are fast becoming edu- cated to the style.

In these races the fastest racing mon in the country oompeto. and the inviriablo result Is the creation of new records each year.

Jn France bicy- clists ride for cash prizes and still retain their aroaiour standing. Ibis is in direct opposition to the position that the L. A. W. and the N. 0. V. uphold. Racing and League officials here aro upon tho sub- ject If by any means It could be arranged to allow the Frenchmen to compete, the N7C, U. men would be ineligible, as it is hardly likely that when they refused to sanction tholr men competing in Fruneo that they will rescind their docUfon and allow them to compoto with them tn this country.

It Is ono of tho most honlthtuLsports,and chos its devotees plonty of opon-al- f exer-cit- e

without harmful oterexrtlon.Twenty yprtrs abo. whon Bamo was more

plentiful, lltllo was dona In trapsliootlne. andthen It was mostly at llro birds. At that tfmovast numbors ot wild pigeons had tholr roostsIn Pennsylvania, Now York, and other Btntes.Theso were caught In nets for uso In tho traps.4thoyboeame scaroa and the sport grew Inpopularity It was necessary to Invent a substl-ta- t,

something Inanimate, to imltato ns eloso-l- y

as possible the flleht ot a bird. The firstInvontlon was the "Gyro." a tin contrivancewith projecting arms, on which the windshould strike, giving it a gyrating motion,this met with little favor. Tlion came glassballs, of which there wore several varieties,Bomo of them were paekod with feathers,which Qtlcd tho nlr when the ball was broken.But glass ball shooting soon grew too easyfhoy were too readily broken. Being hoavytho wind had llttlo or no action on thorn : thoywrq always thrown In one direction and atthe same elevation, so breaking thora growmonotonous and Was no teat of skill,

About tort years npo the prcsont stylo ofUrctt, though in much ruoro crude form, wasdevised. This wns tho old Llgownky ClayPigeon, a sauur-hapc- d article rands of clayand iabcd hard. For u time it was the leadingmtisllo used as a Dying target. When It firstcame into mo the prncesi of unnufocturo wasvery cxnonslve, cncli target cotlngtho fchootorAbout Avo cents. Ana method of Introducingthorn to the public, th couiimny engaged thorennwnod shooters, C'npt. Jiognrdus nnd Dr.Carver, at a largo expouso, who went abouttho country giving exhibition matches. For

. a tlmo the company uiik hUoccRsfui. but' shootors becamo dipsatlsflexl with theircofct and also with tho fact that theywould, not bront easily, though hardkit' with phot About this tlmo tho Cham-pe- rl

In Cartridge Company of Clovelnnd formu-lated a composition ot planter and pitch whichwas moulded lnoravtiiit slmllarehnpeustheLlgowsky Dlcoon. nnd by tho advlco of an Eng-lishman they 'adopted tho name ot blue rockfor their targot. llio first yenr ot the bluorocks the sales waro comparatively sm ill. buteul sequentl) thoy supeneded tho Ligow-sk- y

pigeon, bolng a much castor birdto break when struck by shot Dur-ing tho year lbDl tho sales of this com-n-

were about l'J.OOO.OOO blue rocks.Another company engaged In the manufac-

ture ot targets is tho Peoria Ulnckbird Com-pany. They mako a bird of like shapo, thoughaomposHj ontirelrnf plteh. In 1880 they weremarketing about a.XH.(KX). though at presenttime the output Is probably Bomewliat smaller.Next came the btandard-Keyston- o TargotCompany of Now London. Their output isabout L'.500.0(X) a year. Tho United btatosTarget Company at Findlay, O., is a new con-cern, started In December last, which is nowmaking about 12.000 targets a day. Tho Klnir-blr- d

Company, at Cazenovia. N. .. has been inexlstonce, for somo years, and tholr missilesare largely usod. All these targets moot asimilar saucer shape.

As with targets, so with tho traps for throw-ing them. Mirny improvements have beenmade. Tho old " Gyro' trap was n very crudecontrivance Thu glass ball trap was adaptedonly for missiles of that nhape. The flrtUgowsky trap was neceBiarilyau experiment,though ft threw those blrd very well. Timtrap of the present day is much improved anddiffers In rauoy from tho e.irly ones.One of the best and mo'-- t universally unudIs tho new North Kxnert trap. It is madiprincipally of east iron, with a linen abouta foot high on which roMntin arm about twoaada halt feet lung. This arm can be placedatuimoHt any elevation, being connected tivmeans of a movable bolt to the circular headof the Upright post of trap, which rests in uball socket In tho Imso or stand of the trap,and can be turned easily, thus allowing thotarsrot to be thrown at any angle or elevutlon.This arm contains tho trigger sprins andwinging arm. with currier. Tho carrier is

having on one side a rained slot,in whloh tho flange of tho target re-t- s.

uiu uriniy in piaee oy menus or me soringand a rubber button on the ond of the arm.Tlio sudden stoppnge of tho swinging armafter the tranhns been swung force-th- o tar-get out of the carrier, whon it nails away to theright, left, or Htraightauay. nnd at anyeluvu-tio-

according us the trap lias been set.Targets are usually thrown from forty tofifty yards, though tho IKtaneo may be in-creased hy tightening tho tension ot tho

prine. which is of MeW. about nine inches inlength, nnd has a pressuro of 250 pounds.Originally these traps were sprung by moans

of a rope attached to the arm and carried backof tho shooter, but n late Improvement is Inthe use of electricity by means of a deviceknown as tho North electric pulL Tho triggerIs connected to tho electric trup. which is

bolt tasiog1own through the topof tho buttery fiox. tno lower end of the holtresting on oue end of tho releasing lever. Theother end oi the lever passes just under theedge of the Mdo lev or which connects withthe battery. Tho electric pull is oonneeted.by means of lung wires, to a dry bat-tery on the platform just bohlnd theshooter sstnnd. When tho current is on theeloetric button is touched, the top of side leverdraws toward the lattery, roleaxlng tiie bot-tom lever anci causing tho holt with the springattachment to drop down, pulling the triggerot the trap with ft, and letting loose the swing-ing arm which throws tho targot Into the air.Th nctlun l iustnntiineouK, and necessitatestnurb loss labor on the purl of the puller tlianShon using rotw. vhlch wore also liable to

entangled nnd break,lormpily but i single trap was used, one

teun going to thu score at a time, falling backafter his shot. As shooters multiplied thisf:rew too slow. !nt enough targets could be

during u day. Tlu targot manufac-turers were hero iuterestcd ns well as thehooters, so one of thorn devised what isfuown ns the Keystone riipld.'lring system,yndor its provisions ilvo traps are generallyused, though t target number may bo andoften are used. With Ilvo traps nix men stepto tho score nt once. Hveinon each faces on

f the ti ups, while tho sixth stands behindt number one. Beginning nt the left therhooter at number one calls "pull." His trap"sprung, and before the "hoof his shot has

jieo aivay, uumiier two j ills pull," and so onBown the line.

To start with, he challenges tho winner ofthe McAulIffe-Mye- r battle to an argument forthe llght-walg- championship of the world.Both the Brooklyn boy and Btroator lad havevanquished Carroll in the magic ring, but heglosses over these defeats by claiming thecontests were not at the regulation weight133 pounds.

VMTERSItX TRACK ATULKT10 CUT.

Won Is? Ifarrnrtl a FrMay at Naw Havens--TaU Made a Hard Flglat for It

The Ilnrvnrd-Yal- o Cup. or, as it Is properlyknown, tho "University Track Athlotlo Cup,"Is the outcome otan agreamont onterod Intobetween tho alumni nnd undergraduates oftho two unlvcrsltlos for a sorlcn ot track andfield athletic contests from 1801 to 1800.

THE HARVARD-TAL- E CUT.

The cup, which Is of sterling silver, standingsixteen Inches high, was made by Tiffany, andis unquestionably the most boautitul collegetronhy overcompotod forln this country. ItIs Grecian In form, nnd thoroughly classicalin Its entire treatment. Around tho body,etched In relief work, are pictured emblem-atic: iliruros ot the early athletes In theirstrugglo for the laurel wreath which the God-dess of Victory holds aloft for the winner,while the ola trumpeter or announcer of theancient period stands In tho midst of thefield and with his trumpet announces the re-sult of the contest Forming a border aroundtho nook of the cup Is the Inscription. "Uni-versity Track Athletlo Cup."

On the body ot the cup is the Greok word" Atblonlkn." signifying victory in the games,and just beneath the flold sceno is a palmbranch boaring the seals of Harvard and Yale.Onthereverso side ot the cup are the nlnolaurel wreaths, in which wilt be engravedfrom year to year the name of the universitycoring tho winning number of points In the

while there is also a large wreath forfames, tho one which shall eventuallyhold the cup by winning the majority of thenine annual contests.

vex. FAixrrs alborak.What tka 4S.rooter Looks 1.1 ka After

Maay Changes,Oen. Paine has been working hard all winter

remodelling his Alborak. Last yearthe boat was. a failure. She started in eightraoos and managed to finish second once. Sheis now at Lawley's. In Boston, and present! avery different appearance from what she didlast year. Her lead keel has boen recast andboltod on to a false oak keel, so that it is twofeet lower than it was before. In appearancenow she somewhat resembles Mr. Bogors'sboat Wasp. The lead, keel of the Wasp, how-ever, has less slope ut the forwurd end.

THE ALDORAE OFThe changes thnt have boen mado In the Al-

borak hnvo nad tbe effect ot lightening her upto the extent of about two tons. The new leadkeel has been so hung that, while the boat willfloat at her old waterllno lift, she will be con-siderably above tho lino forward. This willdecreaso her load water line length, and helpto tako something otT the big allowance thatshe Pad to glvo tbe otlior bouts last year. Itis claimed that these changes will make hereasier to drive than ever before. She willhave moio power by reason of lower lead, andwill show a larger lateral plane with which tohold up to windward.

The work on the alterations Is well along,and it is expeoted that the Alborak will beready for the Boston races in June.

The relay blorole ride now in progress fromChicago to this eltr and g long.dls-tanc- o

bicycle races show the populatlty of thisbranch of sport Previous to the formation ottheMtlburn and Pullman oontests, club racosof five and ten miles wero ponutar. Nowracing men demand longer raoos. That long,dlstanco races can be promoted with a gooddegreo of succoss is evident from the successful termination ot tho Business Mon's CyclingLeague's 100-mll- e road race, which took piseon Monday last. In that race there ware oversixty entries, and ot that numbor forty-eig-

men started. Roads of all descriptions wereencountered In tho race, yet tho distance wascovered in 7 hours 34 mlnutos and 110 soconds.In tho Mllburn and Pullman road racos eachseason, the nvcrago numbor ot competitors Isabout 400. which Is greatly In ozcoss ot thenumber of men who compete in track events.

It 1 In England that long-dlstan- road andtrack racing is promoted to a big extent The875-mtl- o ride ot Q. P. Mills, from JohnO'Groat'e to Land's End. whidh was coveredlast year In a little over four days, and the re-

cent 3S8 milos from Paris to Bordeaux, whichwm aocompllshod In twenty-Ov- a hours, showthe populatlty of those rides. The LondonCounty Cycling and Athletlo Club will hold atwenty-four-ho- path race noxt month, andthe recent twenty-four-ho- performance of J.Is. Bates places long-distan- riding In thelead. The foreign racing men are In advanceot the Americans in this respect but theAmerican wheelmen are fast becoming edu-cated to the style.

On Docoratlon Day thero will be no less thanten road races hold In this country. They In-

clude the 100-mll- e road race of RuthorfordWheelmen; the Buffalo. Mllburn. Cleveland,nnd linitfurd road ranos; the fifteen-mil- e Pull-man road rueo. thirty-slx-mil- e road race of theDenver Cyclists' Union, thlrtoen-mll- e race oftho North Adams Wheelmen, and tho ten-mil- e

races of the Louisville and Nynck Cyclers. Inthese races the fastest racing mon in thecountry oompeto. and the inviriablo result Isthe creation of new records each year.

The BuslnessMen's Cycling Leagno of New-ark, elated over tlin success of their rnoe lastMonday, propose holding another race ot thosame distance In the near future.

In addition tothe usual events it is proposed to arrange forsome International races. To bring over thecrack European racing men and pit thornagainst the American flyers would be aCroat feature, but somo strong barriers willhave to be overcome. The racing rulos of thoLeague of American Wheelmen and theNational Cyclists' Union of Fnulnnd nro Identi-cal in many respeots, but with the wheelmeain France the Interpretation ot an ama-teur radically differs. Jn France bicy-clists ride for cash prizes and stillretain their aroaiour standing. Ibis is indirect opposition to the position that the L. A.W. and the N. 0. V. uphold. Racing and Leagueofficials here aro upon tho sub-ject If by any means It could be arranged toallow the Frenchmen to compete, the N7C, U.men would be ineligible, as it is hardly likelythat when they refused to sanction tholr mencompeting in Fruneo that they will rescindtheir docUfon and allow them to compoto withthem tn this country.
