WHEELS AND WHEELMEN.

Gushing has ordered two more Columbia
safeties.
Jensen has ordered two more Victor
safeties.
Pembroke has sent another order for
boys safeties.
Dou't forget the Salt Lake cycling club
run tomorrow evening. Start from Penn
broke's at p. m.
H. G. Kennedy, fancy bicycle rider from
Denver, was in Salt Lake last week and
gave exhibitions at Lake Park.
Il you are cyclist read THE HERALD
wheel column: if you are not cycllst, read
it anyhow, and don't be behind the times.
Business among the bicycle dealers is
dull owing to the trouble they have in get
ting wheels promptly from the manufac-
turerS.
NJ. f. Evans has received Warwick
Perfection drop frame safety. This is a
new wheel here and will be seen with in
terest by wheelmen.
C. R. Derge, of Parsons & Derge, Main
street stationers, is the latest happy pos
SCISSOR of Columbia light roadster safety,
received through Agent Gushing.
A number of small boys were out on the
Fourth with beautifully decorated wheels;
small flags sewed together intertWined the
spokes, and presented fine appearance.
The popularity of THE HERALD wheel
column is an assured fact not only among
active wheelmen but also with the general
reader, who always finds wheel items in
teresting reading.
1t has been suggested by a member of the
boys bicycle club that the cause Of the
slim attendance at recent runs is that the
starting point is not convenient. Remedy
this, boys, and get ont a big crowd.
The regular monthly meeting of the Salt
Lake cycling club, which should take place
tomorrow evening, has been postponed for
one week on account of the school district
trustee election, which comes off tomorrow
night
1t is a matter of regret that nothing was
done by Wheelmen in the way of celebrating
the glorious Fourth. Seventy-fVe or one
hundred wheelmen with appropriately dec
GRATED wheels would have been one of the
most interesting features of the procession.
Salt Lake Wheelmen are pleased with the
information that Mr.. F.. W. Metcalf, of
Olathe, Kansas, will remain in Salt Lake
in charge of the deaf mute institute here.
Mr. Metcalf was recently married to Miss
Crandall of this city, and his brother wheel
men extend their heartiest congratulations
to the young couple.
At the cycling club run Monday last the
roads encountered were in excellent con-
dition and everyone present congratulated
himself that he had turned out. A iudiciOus
selection of routes will insure excellent
wheeling in Salt Lake, and while some
tough roads do exist, one who knows the
ropes can ride to his hearts content and
never have occasion to grumble once on &C
count of bad roads.
And now the road hog is making its ap-
pearance in Salt Lake. a specimen of the
animal, driving an excursion wagon, at
tempted to run down ilocal Wheelman
Thursday, crowding him off the road and
compelling him to dismount to avoid being
run down. Had any damage or injury re-
suited, lawsuit with heavy damages
would have followed, but there would have
been one road hog less in town, for if there
is anything that is ''pizen" to the species,
it is the rights of the wheelman properly
backed up in a court of justice.
A movement is on foot to increase the
number of League of American wheel
men in Utah to twenty-five, which would
constitute a subdivision, the executive Of
ficer of which would be a chief consul
whose appointment is made by the L. A.
W. president. All amateur wheelmen over
eighteen years of age are eligible tc mem
bership upon the recommendation of two
league members or of two reputable citi-
zens. An initiation fee of 81 and yearly
dues of the same amount are the payments
required to secure all the rights of mem
bership, in addition to which the Bicycling
World and L. A. w. Bulletin are furnished
free. The World is one of the brightest
bicycle papers published and should be in
the hands of every wheelman. All active
wheelmen in Utah should become league
members, if they have any interest in the
advancement Of cycling. The objects of
the league as expressed in the constitution
are ito promote the general interests of
cycling; to ascertain, defend and protect
the rights of wheelmen; to facilitate tour
ing and to secure Improvement in the con-
dition of the public roads and highways
There are a numtec of L. A. w. members
in Salt Lake, who viii cheerfully furnish
information to wheelmen who contemplate
joining the league.
