Nervousness is Il great hindrance to
many wheelmen'S riding their wheel in
difficult places, such as sandy and deep
narrow ruts, or narrow footpaths border
lug on deep bitches. Keep cool ana do not
jump at a slight swerve of your wheel and
you will be surprised at your ability to get
over ban places.
Many drivers of horses are yet ignorant
Of the fact that the bicycle is vehicle and
subject to the same rules on the road as a
horse and a wagon, for such drivers con
stantly drive to the left. This will surely
lead to bad accidents. One rider has re
solved to hereafter stay on his side of the
road and dismount and hold his ground and
thereby give this class OF drivers the neces-
sary lesson.
L nc reception OI LcilT. iU6 N1cTlldH FlOGT,
who so calamity won the championship
over the English cracks, Synyer and
Osmond, on his return to Frankfort, was
one that was royal in its proportions and
enthusiasm. Had the reception been to the
Emperor himself it could not have exceeded
the one given Lehr. The town went mad
in honor of its cycling conqueror.-Bi

Riding a bicycle is an accomplishment
which not many have perfected themselves
in. 1t is not an art that can be acquired in
one or two seasons occasional pleasure
spins over sidewalks and sand papered
roads. The expert road rider is one who
has done much road riding over all kinds Of
roads A good rough road rider can ride on
good roads, but it is not all good riders on
sand-papered roads who are good riders on
rough roads. We have many times been
forcibly convinced of this fact by seeing
riders from d section where only good
roads are found ride, or try to ride, rough
roads 1t takes years of practice, or
thousands of miles riding, before one gets
so well accustomed to riding all kinds of
roads in all conditions, with perfect ease,
so to speak. A forty or fifty mile road ride
to an experienced road rideris accomplished
with as much ease and pleasure as an
eight or ten mile spin would be to a rider of
one seasons occasional riding. There are
many who take up cycling and fellow it
while the 'new lasts" and give it up.
They think they are riders, when in fact
they have not learned the first lessons in
riding. With many learning to ride the
cycle is not unlike learning other accom-
plishments, lie. it is given up before ''get-
ting over the hard part
