Taught
Copyright 1897
NEW YORK, July 13-The tricycle. is
about to bee ma a thing Of the past. The
ladies' bicycle, which was introduced last
season, is already supersediDg the clumsy
three-wheeled machine and is winning its
way into general favor at rapid rate.
At Bid eelrs instruction hall, on Broad
way and Flfty-Second street, half of the
learners are women. The attendant gives.
on an average, eighteen Lessons a Gay IN
the art Of wheeling, and not more Than half
of them ara taken by the sex that for so
many years has mouopoliz ID tue bicycle.
Pauline Hall IS perhaps the best known
OF all the New York women who use the BIZ
cycle. It was introduced in New York last
August ami she vas the second woman in
this city who learned to ride. She takes
great pleasure in cycling, declaring that
she gets more satisfaction ont Of her W eel
than out of any Of her other possessions.
! She can be seen in c. trail park almost any
] ulS udJ where ltI skill III udiullIb luo
machine and her rapid riding always at
tract attention. S wears a cycling suit
of dark blue flannel, made with full, plain
skirt and blouse waist.
The first woman in this region to adopt
the bicycle was the wife of District At Or
neY Q keJ Of Brooklyn and she was soon
followed by Mrs. A. j. Co slit Of Harlem,
Mrs. Jo.ephine Redding, the editor of Art
Interchange and Home Decoration, Mrs
h. n L. in
athletic spor,s, Mrs. f. j. de COppot, Mrs.
$. Hollander, Mrs. fred Watkins. Mrs
w. W. Besson, Mrs. E. J. Sinner, Mrs. l..
II. N4wcOmb, and so many OH rs that the
sale Of the laiies wheel has received great
impetus.
Hitherto the majority Of those who have
learned we're mhrried women whose hus-
bands were cyclers, but this spring a great
many misses and young women are follow
ing their example. The attendant in the
instruction hall declares that it is much
easier to teach young girl how to mount
and control the cranky two-wheeler than
n woman. The former will frequently
learn in three or four half hour lessons,
while the latter will require anywhere from
on to fifteen. Great care Is taken that the
women pupils DO not get either hurt or
| frightened. They wear broad, stout belt
with a handle on one side which the at en-
