Pembroke will receive two boys safeties
and one Star safety next week.
Don't fail to attend the cycling club run
tomorrow evening. Start from Pembroke's
at $50 p. m.
| Century runs are very popular in the
east. Who is the first Salt Laker to do one
hundred miles in one day.
| Here's an example of down-east enthusi-
asm. The Long island wheelmen have club
runs for October every morning at a. IN.
| Why don't the Salt Lakers profit by this
example and call runs more frequently.
There is nothing like being energetic.
| The latest inventions are the bicycle bri-
die, preventing sensitive steering of the
safety, and the foot-brake for relieving the
strain on the hand and arm when coasting
long distances. The latter is only adapt
able for safeties with front wheel brake.
| Gushing distinguishes himself this week
as being the only agent who records a sale.
1t was a Columbia safety and the pur-
chaser was G.. B. Whitecar. an employee Of
the Eagle Foundry & Machine company,
who is a new rider; and still they come.
The Chicago clubhouse represents an
outlay of $751; C0. We predict that Salt
| Lake can make the some boast before MANY
years elapse. The wheel is bound to be
power in the land, and when wheelmcn
here once get started they will get there
sure.
The cycle thief is getting exceedingly
bold in ST. Louis, as is evidenced by the
stealing of machine out of the Missouri's
wheel-room. The party owning the wheel
had been off ON his vacation, and on his re-
turn missed the wheel, which diligent
search has failed to find to date In Salt
Lake also the bicycle has been stolen. A
rambler safety was stolen last week from
the residence of H. S. Young.
The regular monthly meeting of the Salt
Lake cycling club will be held at Penn
brokes at o'clock tomorrow evening. A
great many questions of interest and i'm
portauce will come up, and every member
should make it point to be there. The
number of recent applications for member
ship would indicate renewed prosperity,
and there is no doubt that Salt Lake will
soon have wheel club which will be q
credit both in numbers and enterprise.
Just think what 1923 miles in "a hours
mean 1t means that every minute must
be ridden during the "a hours and an aver
age OF minutes 81 seconds must be kept
up; and yet just this marvellous perform
ance was done last month by Mr.. A. Hol-
bein, of the Premier Road club, London.
This on a safety, too. This record exactly
ties the "a hours' record made by S. e.
Whitaker on an ordinary October u, 1887.
WBi World.
D. Castleman Webb, of st. Louis, was
struck by the shaft of a buggy driven by
a young man named Frank j. Schultes.
Webb was thrown from his machine and
considerably shaken up. Witnesses testi-
fed that Schultz made no attempt to stop
his horse, insisting that "a bicycle had no
business in the middle of the street any
way" Judge Cady, of the First district
police court, thought different and fined
the fresh young man $40 for careless driY-
ing. Thus another road hog is punished.
Half dozen wheelmen enjoyed splen-
did run last Sunday morning up to Wag-
ner's in Emigration canon, where lunch
was served at II o'clock, and the run con-
tinued about two miles up the canyon. The
ride back was almost continual coast to
the Temple, and it is estimated that the
safeties attained a speed on the grade of
80 miles an hour. On the way up a rest
was taken at the Fort to view the regular
dress parade and change of guard. All
those who took the trip unite in the opinion
that it was one of the best runs they have
ever had. Wheelmen who desire to go with
the crowd on the runs should be at Penn
broke's this morning atS:30 sharp.
The greatest interest is manifested in the
attempt of Tom Roe, of Chicago, TO cycle
from San Francisco to Chicago, distance
of 2,573 miles, in fifty days. 1t will be seen
from this that he must average fifty miles
