THE crctise cousiERs.


CHrcaso, MAY 2s.--at the conclusion of
the eyciers' run to New York with the des-
patch to General Miles. General Howard
expressed himself as follows;
II consider this a wonderful enterprise
Ii goes far beyond confirming my previous
opinion of the military value of the bicyele,
| wish to paw special tribute to the patriot
ism ami fortiia,ie of the young men who
carried the message through ua,ler such Try
ing conditions. A regiment of infantry
could net make over 10 miles a isy under
similar circumstances, 20 miles day heing
considered a good march. Cavalry troops
would not have made any progress, bu,
would have been mired and been obliged To
go into camp.
| am reminded of the famous mud march
of the Army of the Potomac, under General
Burnside, in the winter of is62 out of Fred
erickshurg. over i0a.er0 men started to
make flank movement up the Rapaiisn-
noe river A storm came on and they did
not cover 20 miles, but returned to camp
and there remained for months.
Speaking of the comparative wear and
tear of bicycles and horses, the General
said ''tieneral Forests Confederate cav
airy wore out | | sets of horses per year. In
the Cnion Army two sets were required, |
believe the military bicycle properly con-
strueied as to weight and strength would
show an extremely small percentage of wear
and tear. The breaking down of horses is
due largely to want of food, which would
not occur with bicycles. The best way To
convince doubter would be to put him on
horse and require him TO follow cyclist
of ordinary ability for five hours. One
hour, see, was sufficient at Cleveland dur
ing this relay ride. The difficulty of trans
porting all goods, including bicycles, TO
the seat of war at critical times is one
which might seriously hinder It's use, but
that is only one of many possibilities met in
adopting any innovation"
