Waile in philadelphia the other day, we
saw the steam tricycle. at Kirk Browns.
1t certainly was a most beautiful vehicle
and the steam apparatus the very acme of
ingenuity The affair, however, seemed
a.most too complicated for man not up in
steam engineering, to handle. The great
l difficulty with these steam carriages is,
that they cease to be practical wnen skill
and knowledge is required to run the same.
In other words the public at large are not
sufficiently up in the use of steam to be able
to run a steam engine.-Bt. World.
At recent meeting of the Niagara
Falls Bicycle club, it was unanimously
voted to tender an invitation to the l.. A.

agra Falls. The invitation will be pre-
scented to the National Assembly at their
meetingin February.
We received by mail the following item
cut from Newark, N. j., paper. On the
margin of the cutting the sender writes
'How about thisi'' We don't know how
about it, we haven't recovered our breath
yet. IL is bit startling to be told that LBS
| for the mile has been made, but when Mr..
| Dubois states his belief that ''better time
can be made" on this wheel, we feel paraly-
sis gently stealing over US. Now for the
clipping: "a tandem bicycle with a fifty
six inch wheel went bowling over the walks
in Military park yesterday afternoon at
almost railroad speed wherever the walks
were clear of pedestrians. The sight was
| novel one and the crowd enjoyed it
| hugely. The machine is the first high
wheel tandem ever made. 1t Is the inven-
lion of j. A Dubois of the Atlanta Wheel
mems association, and was built by E.
| Alsdorf & Co., of this city. 1t covers over
fourteen feet with each revolution of the
wheel. The machine was ridden yesterday
by Mr.. Dubois and George w. Carman. Jr.,
the former having the first saddle. With
| the wheel all previous records for speed
can be beaten, one mile being covered in l
min. and IS secs. Mr.. Dubois believes that
even better time than this can be made.
The machine is smooth rider, easily
steered and said to be safe. IL. 4. "

The introduction of the safety in Port

The glorious Indian summer invites Us to
the country. Ride now and enjoy the red
and gold tinted forests, for in these few
weeks do we have the choicest riding of all
the year But the riding season is about
over, and we may now look back and see
what we have done. | shall be very glad
| to know what the ladies have been doing
! this year, and will thank them to send me
| their records and concise narrative of the
seasons work Any little hint regarding
the best way of riding, the best costume,
etc, etc, will be of value, for remember
that when you send those things to me they
go to help many who are yet in their novi-
tiate and to whom they will be boon.
was not little surprised to hear, the other
| day, that Buffalo ladies use no brake on
| their wheels. l can hardly imagine what
they gain by leaving the brake off, and
can see great many advantages that they
lose I should not dare coast without a
brake. and if / could not coast much of the
delight of riding would disappear. Will
some Buffalo rider let US knew why the
brake is taken off ?-Helen Gray In Bi. World.
