]. L. Stout, the deaf mute fancy trick
bicyclist, whilst giving an exhibition in
Kansas City last week dropped dead from
his wheel.
J. S. Jensen received a Victor safety last
week. 1t has been on exhibition in the
drug store window of Johnson, Pratt q
Co. for several days.
George r. Bidwel, of New York, has
opened bicycle school for ladies, and is
already overrun with pupils. He has ele-
CANT riding floor, parlors, etc.
Pembroke says the manufacturers of the
Star safety have been so crowded with
orders that they have not yet been able to
ship the machines he ordered some time
ago.
There are now no less than nine different
manufacturers making a lady's or drop
frame safety bicycle. a very large straw
we should say, to show which way the wind
blows.
James A. Fryer received an American
rambler bicycle last week. The rambler is
drop frame safety. and can be ridden by
either lady or gentleman. 1t looks like "a
good wheel,
The Columbia people offer to make their
safety bicycle with rigid forks instead of
the spring fork, if so wished. For long
distance road riding this may be an advan-

mend the spring.
Something of Importance to the children

human being.
The Bicycling Worlds Chicago correspond
ent saws: Captain Roe had thirty men in

Simplicity in the construction of a bicycle
is a virtue not to be despised. This, as we
look at it, is the main advantage possessed
by the ordinary, or crank wheel. 1t has
few parts, can be built light, and is pretty.
But for utility, the smaller and less hand
some machines walk all over it, in our esti-
nation.
The introduction Of the rover type safety
has induced thousands upon thousands of
men who were too timid to ever learn to
ride the larger wheels to become not only
active but enthusiastic wheelmen. And
now that the lady's machine is an estab-
lished fact, both will become Of greater
importance than before.
