Action of the naclng Beard TIie Social instituted. The long looked for aetipn on the part of tha racin board of the league of American wheel men; regarding the suppression of professionalism lately apparent nmons prominent racing cy clists, has been taken. At a meeting of the board held on Friday, tho following cracks of national fame were suspended from the track W. F. Murphy, C.

M. Murphy, A. B. Rich, W. Campbell, A.

C. Banker, W. D. Banker, Frank IveB and W. S.

F. Class. As has been previously related, there was much dissatisfaction at the manner in which cycle raoing had been managed during the season just passed. Riders of ability and riders of promise who owed their early education in tho art of cycle racing to the local bicy cle oiuo wnero tney resided, one oy one became nnnnfintprl with nnf nf th mnnRtnr nthletio asso ciations, and, carrying tho colors of their newly adopted club, they attonded all the big bicycle meets this snmmer and carried away all the honors and prizes worth strivingfor, much to tho chagrin of the bicycle clubs and their representatives. Tho athletic club, as is well known, pav all ex penses of racing and training, and in this way any ono or tneir naers, wnen on me traoK, is in the best of condition at no expense on his part, while the rider for a bicvclcu club, being com pelled to work out his own salvation, must spend an enormous amount of time and money if ho desires to compete with his well cared for brethren.

This condition of affairs was well calculated to produco tho dissatisfaction prevalent during tho latter part of the season among strict amateurs. Therefore the action taken by the racing board will probably be the initiatory move toward an amicable settlement. The specific charges upon which tho suspensions have been mado included not only the acceptance of money from the athletic clubs for alleged expenses, bnt sundry other offenses eueh as selling races, disposing of prizes won in competition for. cash and competing for monoy prizes. The list of riders suspended, given above, includes but a small portion of the bicycle racora who have had their expenses paid according to statements prepared by themselveB, the accuracy of which is rather shady.

Fred Janssen, chairman of the investigating committee of the amateur athletic union, was asked to look into the charges, but ho declined, stating that the A. A. U. would abide by the decision of the racing board of tho league, and that if the board would suspend tho men thev would not bo allowed to compete in any A. A.

U. games. There will probably be another batch of suspensions made before long and the busis upon which cycle racing is to bo done will probably be radically ohangod before the seasou of 1891 opens. Tho Brooklyn bicycle club will hold a women's reception at the club house, 62 Hanson place, on the evening of Tuesday, December 23. It will be in charge of the house committee, consisting of H.

E. Raymond, W. R. Snodeker and W. E.

Fuller, who engineered two affairs of like nature last winter. The various arrangements with florists, caterers and entertainers are now being made. The club's next reception will be held on Wednesday ovening, December 10. It is also in charge of the house committee. Tho billiard tournament of tho Kings county wheelmen, which was started last spring, but discontinued during the summer, will bo taken in hand and in a few weeks the games will probably all have been played.

The scores given below will show how tho contestants stand at present: Name. Bowdieh Folgor Won. Loat, Name. McLaren Ncllia Smith iStevons Von Borstel Wiojiand Won. Lost.

Marion, at its head, is making all preparations for an olaborato affair. The milease contest among tho membors ot the Long Island wheelmen is drawing to a close, the club year endiue on December 31.

There is usually only a fair amount of riding done in De cember, but if tho weather remains as mud as it has been during the greater part of November there will nrobablv bo some large additions mado to tho records for the eleven months. The best ten mileaceH for October were as follows: E. M. Taylor, 449 miles; 0. E.

Isaac Brandenstein Sees a Century of Life.

Still Able to Face All Sorts of Weather, to Tnke LonK Walks and to Smoke About Twelve Cigars a Day Prominent Brooklynltes Honor Him With a Banquet. Ton, halfiand hearty, celebrated yestorday his 100th birthday, at tho residence of Mrs. Wolfner, 380 Grand street, ew iora, irou whom he boards. On the morning of November 29, l.ao, in Grebenstein, Germany, this centenarian nrsi snrtv the light. Ho camo to America fifty five years ago.

When the reporter callod yesterday afternoon ho saw a man of medium height, with clear dark eyes and dark hair plentifully frosted with gray. It was the old man who opened the door in response to the reporter's Kuoi.it and bado him enter. Tr. BranriHnHtiin was very joyful and there seemed to be no end to his conversational pow r. f)f events harmeninc as far back as 181 he spoke as though they had occurred only last week.

Tn.dnv." he said, "is mr hundredth birthday; I was up at 6 o'clock, and if I live to see another century I'll be up at 4 o'clock." And tho old man gave a laugh which seemeu as fresh aa that of a Bchoolboy. "Seo my party to day," said he, as he turnoa and pointed out the crowd of friends wuo sat about him. "They are all hero to wish me joy. Onghn't I to be a happy man My Bon, Benjamin, is not at home, but he sent a telegram Bonding his regrets. He's my only son.

My grandchildren are all here and their children, too." There were present of tho grandchildren Mr and Mrs. LoniB Brandenstein and two children, Sadie and Georgie, of Brooklyn Mr. and Mrs. Henry Brandenstein and four sona, Arthur, Daniel, George and Louis, of Brooklyn; Abraham and RoBio BrandeuBtein, unmarried. From a distance there was only ono relative prestnt, Mrs.

Fohremberg, of Boston. She is tho only living child of tho centenarian's brother Elias, of Hesse Cassel. Germany. Among tho many who congratulated Mr. Brandenstein were tho congregation of tho Clinton street synagogue, of which the old gentleman is a devout memoer.

Dr. Weiss is the rabbi of this church and he is ono of Mr. Brandonstein'a warmest friends. The festivities began at an early hour yester ir day morning and will continue to uay. m.l.

BrandenBtein's grandsons, Louis and Henry, aro tho old man's mainstay. Thoy pay S7 per ween for their grandfather's board. Tho bounteous dinner givon iu the front parlor in Mrs. Woll ner's apartments was the gift of theso two grand sous. Among others who wore present were Mr.

and Mrs. S. Stein and Mr. and Mrs. Daniol Stein, rtmnL lvn.

TV Smrrrer. the Brooklyn rabbi; Henry Block, Mr. Schellcnborg and mr. uium enau, also of Brooklyn. Tho centenarian is a wonderful example oi presorved health.

He has never known even an hour of sickness in his life. His hearing is acute, and his eyesight is still unimpaired. Pinochle, a nnr.nlnr crame of cards among natives of Ger many, is a favorite pastime of tho old man, and ho can still "meld" bis one hundred aces, nis eighty kings, without his spectacles, though, as a rule, he wears goggle3. The robust 1.:,. nll nrrn noss oi his constitution at uia uiu something marvelous.

No matter ir the weather be hot or cold, ho continues to take long walks, a thing he has douo for years. Very often his walks cover as many as twenty blocks. Frequently he faces the coldest weather without aaoaton his back. Tho sharpest blasts bring the color to his wrinkled cheeka, instead of driv ing him indoors. To those whoopposo tho use of tobacco as injurious to health he is a puzzle, for ho is an inveterato smokor.

He consumes abont twelve cigars a day, aud his pipe is never left idle very long. In disposition ho is cheerful, talkative, but not garrulous, and generous to a fault. He is always ready to crack a joke at somebody's expense, and in that way is remembered by everybody who ever meets him. At dinner yestorday ho was tho lifo of tho party gathered around the table and ho ate with an appetite that would have dono credit to a healthy and hungry giant. In the day of his centenary ho was well remembered by his friends and the friends of his children and grandchildren.

Money amounting to several hundreds of dollars was presented to him. GEUMiN INTERESTS IN AFRICA. Much Done to 1'aaih Navigation Schemes on the Lalte. Not Copyright, 1890, by tho United Press. London, November 30.

Notwithstanding the talk in Germany of getting the steamers ready for the navigation of tho Victoria Nyauze, little has actually been done. On the other hand, the British East Africa company's steamer is so far advanced toward completion that it will be sent off to Mombasa within the next two weeks. The company already has a steamer on the Tans Tana rivor. Mr. Jackson has been able to bring back with him much in formation concerning the country through which he has passed aud a good supply of maps from his own survoyB.

Captain Lugard has also dquo a large amount of surveying and sent home many valuable maps. Mr. Joseph Thomson, in spite of the attack made upon him by the Portuguese on the Shire, has lost no time in reaching Mb goal. A telo gram from him sayB that ho and his young companion, Mr. Grant, reached the Garengauze country, on the west of Lako Bangweola, some weeks ago.

This is the country known as Msiri's kingdom, where Mr. Arnot and his fellow missionaries have been doing good work. It is very desirable territory, and probably the British South African company will be able to come to Bomo arrangement with the king of the Belgians whereby it may be virtually included in their sphere. Mr. Thomson is expected to bo at Victoria FallB, on the Zambesi, by Christmas, and will, no doubt, come south by Mateboland.

The nationalization of labor society has taken steps to open a general store for the benefit of Its sympathizers and members in the neighborhood of Walworth. Premises have been secured and a considerable amount of shares subscribed for. Mr. Edward Bellamy is much interested in the scheme and has sent a letter of encouragement. BENEFITS OF THE ST.

PATRICK'S ALLIANCE. A Cute Decided in Favor of tho Aiiss cialloia IVoiv York. Patrick O'Connor, a membor of branch No. 10 of district No. 1 of the St.

Patrick's alliance of America, brought suit in tho Fourth district civil court, in New York, recently to recover from the society $90, which ho olatmed to be duo him for sick benefits during a recent illnes3. He asserts that this amount was withheld, it being the accu mulation of eighteen weeks' Bick benefit at $5 per week. On the trial of the cause, which was heard by Justice Stockier yesterday, it was shown that O'Connor did not receive the money because tho society suspended the payment of sick bene fits at the timo O'Connor was sick. Such siiBpen sion is provided for by the constitution of the society. Voluntary contributions were, howevor, made to O'Connor during the suspended poriod by his brothor members.

In deciding the oase Justice Steckler said that while his sympathies were with the plaintiff he was obliged to find that the society acted for the best interests of all the members, consequently he felt bound to sustain its action. "The majority of the mombers of tho society," he says, "are undoubtedly tho best judgeB when tho suspension of tho payment of sick benefits should occur." A HAPPI HOMK WUDDIXa. A pretty homo wedding took place Thanksgiving evening at the residence of Albert Tayn tor, 320 President street, the contracting parties being Miss Florence M. Tayntor and Frederick W. Kracko.

The house was prettily decorated with ferns, flowers and smilax, but most conspicuous among them all were chrysanthemums; in fact, it was a chrysan themum wedding. After tne ceremony hosts of congratulations were showered on tho happy pair and the balance of the evening was pleasantly Bpent, a bounteous collation adding to tho happy occasion. Tho wedding tour will be an extensive one through tho Southern states. Among the guests present were Mr. and Mrs.

Another Verbal Battle on the Field of the Supreme Court. The Legal Representatives of the Trustees Open the Attack With a Demand for a Continuation of the Stay Granted by Judge Cul len, but Lawyer Hill Holds His Position. Last Wednesday Justice Callen, of the supreme court, granted a stay in the proceedings in the sugar trust case and yesterday counsel argued before the same justice for a continuation of the stay. It was after the long calendar of divorce cases had been disposed of that tho waiting audi ence were at last rewarded for their patienoe by the commencement of the proceedings. Elihu Boot, together with Edward M.

Shepard, ap peared to urgo the motion, while John L. Hill ap peared alone to oppose it, and from his masterful argument it would appear that the trustees are at present fighting for a delay the carrying out of tho provisions of tho decree which Justice Pratt handed down some time ago, and which provided that the trustees should make full re port of the assetB and liabilities of the various corporations of the trust. As published in the Eaole yesterday Mr. Hill opened the hearing by briefly referring to his motion to strike out certain affidavits in the mat ter. He was followed by John H.

Gleason and then Mr. Root began his argument for the con tinnation of the stay, on behalf of the trustees. After going into the history of various important points of the case, he reforred to the injunction obtained upon the application of Receiver Gray of the North river sugar refining company, and held that it prevented the defendants from pros editing upon an equal footing with the trustees, He said that he had known nothing of the injunction until after tho judgment had been entered. After recess Mr. Root resumed his argument.

and for more than an hour discussed every point arising in the case. He said that tho decree on tered was not the one the trusteeshad aBked for and it was not in accordance with tho prayer they made. He maintained that the interlocu tory judgment did not mention anything about a sale of the property, and instead of granting the prayer they had mads the judgment passed them by and even required chem to render an accounting from the beginning. Ho then pro ceeded to read parts of the agreement bearing upon the motion, and in regard to the account ing required to be mado to the permanent receivers he said that the trustees were perfectly willing to account for all the moneys in their hands, but not under the conditions of the deoree, which gave them no security or opportunity for action at all. Ho maintained that the property of the trust was incapable of being actually partitioned, although Mr.Gleason had held that it was and that the stock could be passed directly to the holders.

Mr. Boot said that as certificate holders they could object to any such a proposition and according to affidavits the parties behind the motion were large certificate holders. He said lhat there was no evidence establishing the right of the moving party in gaining their decree to act in tho proceedings at all. He hel that tho decree did not protect the trustees in the least, and that the injunction placed them in such a position that thoy were tied hand and foot and could absolutely do nothing at all. Ho held that if the action had not been properly proaocutcd it was Cameron's privilege to dismiss it; that was his remedy instead of the present action.

'Why, theso receivers," he went on, "aro to as certain the assets and liabilities of the various corporationsjjmd are empowered to look into the whole thing from the very beginning of tho agreement. The receivers are entitled to all the assets of the trust, and where does any protection for the trustees come in I do not think that any court of justice in this land will see us trampled under foot, treated as scoundrels and dragged into court upon all ocoasions, at least by a man who bought his moiety of stock for the sole purpose of litigation, It is unjust that we should be dragged into court by a decree which is hostile to our every interest and privilege, and which treats us a little better than robbers. It is not right that we should be put into the chair of inquisition, so to speak, and I do not think that this court will uphold any action of Buch a na ture." Mr. Shepard then arose, and following the same line of argument said that according to the decree tho receivers were to step right into the shoes of the trustees and were then to operate the certificates aa they might think best. The trustees had in their possession a very large amount of the property, and it was important that if they were to be relieved of it, it should be done by tho consent of the certificate holders themselves, or have a deoree which would so provide that the property might be distributed aa the certificate holders saw fit.

Under the present condition of things the speaker held that their hands were tied peremptorily, for they were prevented from bringing any kind of proceedings for their own protection. Mr. Shepard then read that part of the decree which prohibited anyone from'bringing a suit of any kind against tho holders of certificates. "It is not Judge Pratt," said the Bpeaker. Mr.

Duncan Cameron is the party who is taking the risk in this matter, which was entered with out the slightest notice to us. It is the trustees themselves who are left liable to all risks, and I say it is monstrous; it is injustice. Cameron es tablished no interest at all in this action, and yet he seeks to tie us hand and foot and to prevent us from obtaining any protection whatever for ourselves. And so we are left liable to tha risk of property worth from $30,000,000 to $45,000,000 are open to an attack from any quarter of the globe where a certificate of stook may bo held. What we want is to have these people or holders como into court and be bound by that court.

That is the only kind of judgment that will bo worth a rush to ub." John L. Hill then arose and, after asking the in dulgence of the court for a few minutes, said, in brief: 'After listening to the learned counsel upon the other side, from what I gather they summarize their troubles under two heads. The first is that the judgment does them a wrong, as it contains provisions baneful to their interests, and, secondly, that it deprives them of the right of trial in certain matters. Now, I have utterly misunderstood the decree and the practice of this court if it does not afford them the very protection which thoy seek. The application was made by a certificate holder for his own interest and that of others.

Tho plaintiffs brought an action which they said was for his right, and if they were slow in the proceeding he had a perfect right to prod them up a little. They did not onter judgment by default when the opportunity was within their graap, as they could have done, and now that it is too late for such a proceeding, I claim that they havo lost their day in court. According to the provisions of the code, when the parties to an action are too numerous, any one ot them may sue on behalf of tho others his class when it is so stipulated. The decreo when once entered is, therefore, in the interest of all. I maintain that when an interlocutory judgment is granted it is for the benefit of all and cannot ho evaded by bringing separate suits, as one would imagine by the montion which oouusel has made of these fifteen hundred or sixteen hundred certificate holder, which appear to be scarecrows to them.

This present action must settle every question of disposition and distribution of property, and my little certificate is just as good as their big one so far as it entitles me to consideration in the courts. The trustees held on to every bit of this property they could get tlveir hands on, and they would not give the valne of the property until compelled to by the order of Justice Pratt, which they were required to do before he would issue the injunction against their scheme of reformation. Why, they wanted to force tho certificate holders in that action into being obliged to exchange their certificates for trust ones, and not one of the holders knows the value of his stook nntil tha doors of the different corporations are thrown open and they are compelled to show their hands." PROSPECT UGIGFITS SOCIAL CLUB. A pleasant meeting of tho Prospect heights sooial club was hold Friday evening at the headquarters in Pacific street. Progressive whiit was tho feature of the entertainment The games were unusually exciting.
