About the queerest looking affair in
the shape of yelocipede that has yet
made its appearance in this locality was a
four.wheelsd Continuance which attracted
considerable attention on the Public Square
Yesterday afternoon. 1t has four wheels
two big ones in front and two little ones
behind, and is projected by the rider in
manner something like smaller affairs of
hat sort, although perhaps somewhat diff
ferent in mechanical construction. We did
not get close 10 il, but judge from its size
that this new form of the machine is prefer
able to those introduced here by the Han
Ions, 1t is not so apt to turn over, and
with the necessary additions to the upper
works could be turned to useful account in
hauling wood, carrying the mails, or taku
ing families out for evening airings. Velo-
cipedes are fact things, and if they con-
linue 10 grow in popular favor as rapidly
as indicated now, it will not be long before
they run into general Use. becoming more
numerous than living horses, and, ofcourse
great deal cheaper. For gay old loco
motion through crowded streets, we have
only to wait until there shall be veloci-
pede or two in every family. Just think
