WHEELS AND WEEELMEN.

| Lantern parades are fashionable in the
east.
Why don't more of our wheelmen wear
bicycle suits! When comfort and appear
ances agree so well, they should be en-
couraged.
The number of wheelmen riding regu-
| larly over the bad roads caused by recent
rains, and at all hours of the night, demon
strate thoroughly that the bicyclei is prac-
tical machine.
There is now no doubt but that the drop
frame safety has come to stay. The Pope
company announce that they will have a
Columbia ladies' bicycle ready for the mar
ket by January next.
The Monday evening cycling club runs
have been discontinued on account of short
time for riding before dark. The club will
likely have some moonlight runs, and will
take advantage of holidays when weather
will permit.
Why not have grand lantern parade.
One hundred or one hundred and fifty
wbeelmen would readily turn out and the
public would enjoy it. Where is the Ma
poleon who will unite our forces in this
enterprise?
Agent Jensen comes to the front with
three victors, sold TO Prof. Horace Cum
mings, Attorney Barlow Ferguson and
Mr.. Busby. All are new riders and are
heartily welcomed to the ranks by older
Wheelmen.
In view of the many benefits of member
ship, it is remarkable that so few cyclists
join the League of American wheelmen.
The league is doing good work all over the
country in the interest of the bicyclist, and
wheelmen here should become members
and form league division to help along the
cause.
The movement on foot to incorporate the
Salt Lake cycling club is a move in the
right direction and is carried out will DO
more to advance the cycling interest than
anything that could be undertaken. a
good live club on a sound financial basis
will place cycling before the public in
and is bound to show good results.
The most interesting run of the season
will be made to-day. Mr. and Mrs. J. M.
Evans and a friend or two will start south
and if roads permit will go as far as Amer
lean Fork, taking the train for return to
Salt Lake. Mrs. Evans is the first of our
lady cyclists TO undertake so long trip on
our country roads, and great many wheel |
men will watch for the result with interest, |
aud in the meantime greatly envy the more |
fortunate wheelmen who make up the prrty. |
A party of wheelmen meet Pembroke's |
at 80 this morning, and will make run |
for distance up Parley's canon, taking in |
the penitentiary on the way out. There |
was some talk of pOstponing the run on &C
count of the recent rain, but reliable re
ports have been received that the roads are |
in good condition by way of State road |
going south and penitentiary road going !
east. The run will surely be made, and |
Wheelmen are invited to Join the party 1t |
is expected the run will be to Hardy's, if |
is favorable, and the return
trip will be almost continuous coast
DoN'Ts FOR LADY RIDERS.
For the ladies, Helen Gray in L. A. W.
Bulletin, says: We have had list of
don'ts'' from nearly every point of view.
It may be well to add to the number.
Therefore:
Don't scorch. Hasten slowly.
Don't ride recklessly. Ride with care.
Don't be too ambitious about climbing
nils.
Don't go off on long ride without an ex-
jra wrap. 1t will serve you well when you
halt.
Don't be afraid. Fear often goes before
/ fall. Butwant of fear doesn't infer want
If care.
Don't for moment lose control of your
Machine. At the top of every hill try your
brake to see if it is in working order and
start downward with little pressure on
he wheel.
Don't forget that your wheel runs stead
er, and that you favor the machine and
engthen its days by this breakage on the
ills.
Don't set the saddle too low, else you can
lot work to advantage and the knee move
nent is excessive and ungraceful Appear
nee is everything.
SUNDAY RIDING.
We can see no harm in Sunday riding if
and decorously INDUCED in.
There is a something about the quiet spin
n a charming day, be it Sunday or week
ay, that inspires the very best impulses
We are capable of. Communion with ma
ure, to those who love her as we do,
rings out the better self, and the feelings
hat are stirred and quickened are such
hat our Maker Himself cannot but ap
rove. These words are not cant" but
hey are simply facts which hundreds Of
cyclists can appreciate.
True it is that we have class of riders
Vho cannot respect or appreciate these i'm
ulses, and whose coarse conduct at times
While riding, Sunday or Monday, makes
heir presence on the roads harm to the
God name of the sport. The large major
~ of wheelmen are not of this class, but a ),
cry small leavening of the hoodlum ele-
lent gives coloring to the vast majority, :
coloring which we do not enjoy. How to
orrect this condition of things we know
OF. 1t is a problem far beyond our reach
'ut because a man rides quietly aloug the
ighway on Sunday, in search of innocent
njoyment and good health, we can see no
eason for condemning him in the least a
