cpedes used on tie occasion were the bfccle or two
wheeled vehicle which are intended exclusively Tor
the aale sex and are Remarkably swift They are
made very strong the wheels being of oak, and all
the machinery, tires etc, wrought iron There are
pedals reels attached u the large front wheel which
when worked by the movement of the feet, gives the
requisite impulse to the vefieae.
The saddle which resembles il size those used by
race ockies is poised uiot icon bar, and situated
between the two wheels--,aer nearer however, 30

serves asa balancing p2le and also as steering ap-
paratus. II Is also Brake which mag be applied in
stanty and thereby bring the SeoePeae to an instant
stop
The saddle Is pacelsapo an elastic spring, which
may be readily adjusted to suit any rider. There are
several firms in New York city now manufacturing
these vehicles, and they range il price, we believe,
from seventy five to one hnndrel dollars. 0ne Of the
llanlon Brothers is at present engaged in New Io:
