The popular steed for business, tn,
bicycle; for health, the bicycle; for pleas
ure, the bicycle
The cycling club run starts from Penn
broke's at tomorrow evening, as Usual
Don't miss the fun. Wheelmen generally
invited.
The fact that the Columbia company
alone have turned out 1000 safety bicycle:
this year will give onr readers some idea Of
the bicycle trade.
Jensen has received invoices for three OF
the seven Victor safeties ordered recently
Victor riders VIII soon make quite a show
ing among our wheelmen.
Wheelmen, if you are not American citi
zens, take out your papers and vote for the
man who built that splendid road on the
east end of First South street.
AS an appetizer the bicycle is more of a
success and in the long run cheaper than
whisky The prohibitionist is welcome to

wick safety with his four year-old brother
perched on the frame in front of the saddle.
The little fellow looks comfortable, and en-
| joys it immensely.
Here is criticism of Bicycle Neics on the
American party: "Of the thirty tourists
quite third must be under twenty-One
years of age, the youngest being sixteen
and the Oldest member of the party is fifty
one. Most are quietly disposed, with occa-
sionally suggestion of dryness in their
manner; but all are gentlemanly, and all
right when you know Them"
How is this for clincher as to the merits
of two different makes of bicycles: A
prominent dealer here in arguing with
prospective buyer springs the following:
why there was one of our safeties stolen
the other day and it was standing beside
safety at the time, but the thief being
Judge of wheels, took our make and left
the other, proving beyond the shadow of
doubt the superiority of our wheel" Next
Chicago correspondent L. A. w. Bulletin.
The following from the L. A W. Bulletin
will inspire in Salt Lake wheelmen a de-
sire to visit Florida A natural race course
of forty miles is something we don't come
across in Utah every day. "a valued cor
respondent from Jacksonville, Fla, writes
US as follows: Just think of a straight
away road for forty miles as smooth and
hard as almost any race track. That is
what we Floridians in this vicinity have in
the way of track. Only forty minutes
ride from Jacksonville we have little
summer resort called Pablo-by the-Sea, and
stretching eight miles on one side and
thirtytwo on the other, we have one of
the finest beaches in America, and at all
times rideable, being from 100 feet to 300
yards wide and as hard as one can imagine.
Think of that for counsel We have some
very promising riders. Lampkin did, on
Decoration Day, five miles with ten dead
turns and half the course against the wind,
in Il 10 ON roadster. If the fact of this
beautiful track of beach were known l
think great many wheelmen would be in
duced to bring their wheels along when
they came south in the winter. We have
League club here of some twenty-six mem
bers."
A party OF wheelmen will leave Boston
about July lSt by boat to Halifax, N. s..
and thence by wheel to Annapolis, a dis
lance of about a hundred and fifteen miles
over most excellent roads. At Halifax,
from July 5th to July 10th, a summer car
nival of outdoor sports will be held. and it
is the purpose of the wheelmen to take this
in. The wheelmen of Halifax will take the
visitors in hand and look after them dur
ing their stay in that city. The Cambridge
port (Mass.) club have the matter in
charge, and are anxious to have wheelmen
from New England, New York, Washing
ton, Philadelphia, and, in fact, from all
over the country, join them. 1t will be
most delightful trip, and the valley of the
Annapolis is famed the world over for its
beauty. The carnival at Halifax will be
one of all kinds of outdoor sports, and the
military and naval displays by the British
garrison and feet will be novel feature
The regular fare to and from Halifax by
boatis about ten dollars, but it is hoped to
get reduction from these prices. Wheels
ridden by eXcursionists will be admitted
into Nova Scotia free of duty on personal
bond being given that they be taken back
into the United States.
A slim attendance at the cycling club run
Monday last, was no drawback to the
pleasure of spin TO Liberty park. Good
roads, bracing air and few companions to
enliven the time with conversation gener-
ally insures pleasurable run, and the one
of Monday was no exception. During the
stop at Liberty park, burlesque race be-
tween two star riders, one on a crank
safety and the other on a lever safety,
caused any amount of amusement. The
crank rider shot out ahead for the first few
rods, and got up good speed when the man
on the lever safety seeing his laurelS as a
"bad man on the track fast fading away,
raised his powerful foot as high up as his
shoulders and made succession of siX-foot
strokes, which soon brought him even with
his doughty opponent, who by this time, in
imminent danger of slipping pedal, could
not increase his speed, and was badly dis
tanced. The defeated rider claimed to be
the best man, attributing his failure to the
superior running qualities of tie other
wheel, but that sort of claim didn't go with
the spectators, who voted the lever safety
man the champion long stroke. A return
home just at dusk completed one of the
worst attended but at the same time most
enjoyable of the club runs.
