WHEELS AND WHEELMEN.


Wheelmen, Join the l.. A. w.
If you ride on he side walk cont ride
fast, take to tie road for speed.
Keep your lamps trimmed, and, if you
ride after dark, Keep them burning.
Now is the time to ride. air is fine, and
the exercise exhilarating in the extreme
Don't race an electric car unless you are
SIRE they will have to make six stops to
the block.
Tomorrow is the regular run of the
cycling club. Start from Pembroke'S at
$50 p. m.
About dozen wheelmen start out TO
Farmngtl and return on their wheels
this morning
If you can't afford high grade wheel
buy one of the many law grades, which are
becoming so popular.
If you are out on long run take things
easy; make it N enjoyable trip, of whlci
you can think next day with pleasure.
Never ride without bell o.. whistle, an
at night lamp; pedestrians are emil 9
to this nrof.'..' N, and Wheelmen should see
t at they get it.
DlsmuuuU al crowded street crossing
unless Won are sure you can pass wiUhoL
running agai lst pedes riaDs, or, what
worse ..-o.ug them to think you are go
ing to.
One is struck with the increase in the
number Of Wheelmen. All classes are l., e
ing represented, the merchant, the ente
prising clerk, the errand boy, and those
who ride for pleasure.
The compositor who set up ''large" safe
ties, lnouI,.,. -. -'DUyS SatetleS, IN las
week nOti-es of wheels sold at Provo auC
Brigham city, must have taken header
over our wheelman's bad writing.
Make practice OF passing teams on tn
right; drivers who know no better ma
ran you into the gutter, but future genera
tons of drivers will learn that bicycles ar,
entitled to the same consideration as othe
vehicles, when met on the street.
BY the-bye, how is it That Tie newspaper
carriers of the outlying districts cont ride
the bicycle? Now it generally takes a car
rier till 500 or an. to get to the end OF
his route, whereas with bicycle ninety
minutes at least each morning could 1t
saved.
If you are learning to ride an ordinary dc
not select the South Temple street side
walk to practice on. You are sure to take
header on the boulders with which mother
nature has paved that thoroughfare, and I
stone wall is an uncomfortable place Oh
which to strike your head as you go down
Sales during the week are as follows

Stevenson, also one to another party who's,

safety to son of J. P. Ball. Pembroke
one boys safety, purchasers name moi

| The National safety is a new, first
machine selling for $50 as against Sl35 fOl
| high grade wheels. Pembroke has ordered
| one for Mr.. David Cannon and it is already
on the way, the machine bids fair to be
come popular because it can be used by
either lady or gentleman, being a drol
frame and is fitted with ball bearings al
round.
A laughable incident occurred on Soutl
! Temple street day or two ago. A some
what inexperienced rider was doing LIS
best to dodge the rocks on the Sidewalk
| just east OF Eagle gate A prominent dry
goods clerk, of Main street house, was OIL
his way to business, all unconscious of dan
ger, when suddenly the wheelman in avo d.
ing a small rock struck a large one, which
threw him headlong on to the shoulders OF
the dry goods man, who, fortunately, is
| short and stout, and was near enough to IL {
wall to use it as a brace, which saved them
both fall.
| The following from a Wichita CORES
pendent: 1.-THE cycling fraternity OF
| Wichita, Kan, have good reason to rejoice
the city has contracted for the paving OF
| Market street for about half mile with
asphaltum. This will be the first in the
city, and is but beginning; similar i'm
| provement for ether streets is under con.
sideration. Market street runs north and
south, and as the wind here is either north
or south seven days in ten, the boys will
coast one way or the other nearly all the
| time, and if they don't rig up sails aud coast
both ways in less than six months, then
was not born Yankee. "-Bi- World.
