hospitality Of that city to its utmost and proved
that the National Capitals Of the best cities

were able to get . wonderfully correct idea Of
it all from the graphic descriptions published

Horse vs.. Cycle Racing.

The managers Of the Hamilton County Fair
are SO well pleased with the bicycle races as
drawing card that they are talking Of building
q quarter-mile bicycle track inside of the horse
track. A track Of that kind would offer many
advar tages. The contestants would pass the
grand stand twice as often on half mile
track, and quarter-mile events could be started
from scratch, all Of which would add to the
interest Of the spectators. Horse and bicycle
races could be run alternately without injuring
the bicycle track. After the bicycle races last
Tuesday more than half Of those in the grand
stand left the stand and did not wait to see the
horse races, and the managers Of the fair were
not slow to see which event was the most at
tractive. All this 10 very gratifying to the
wheelmen when they look back to the time when
It was difficult to get more than a handful Of
people to witness the bicycle races Cincinnati

Cyclists in Politics.

The bicycling World and L. 4. ". Bulletin
appeared in new form and dress this week. and
its change is pleasing to all the wheelmen. The
new paper is larger in size and contains more
bicycle news, which is interesting to the wheel
men.
Concerning the question Of Juggling politics
into the League Of American wheelmeen the
Bulletin this week says: while we can scarcely
pose as safe exponents of the true theory of
politics, vet we understand that q mans choice
OF party bases itself on the view Of each indi-
vidual voter az to which party represents the
most correct principles and stands the same on
the many questions Of domestic and foreign
policy. Voters array themselves on the side Of
the party which, according to their ideas. rep
resents the silver and the tariff question prop
erly. No one questions the vital national i'm
portance OF these matters, and yet il We put the
matter Of roads improvement alongside these
and claim q relative degree of national import
ance We are likely to be scoffed at. Yet in all
seriousness We believe that the time is not far
distant when the question of roads improve
ment will become o national one and cut very
prominent figure in tue failure success Of
the great parties. 1t may not be this year or
next, but the constant agitation is bound to bear
fruit. Public opinion is being formed every day.
What was one time looked on as q fad of them
bicyclers is becoming to be regarded as
q possible national necessity. The mills Of
the gods are reputed to bo slow at the grinding
business, but public prejudice and opinion is
slower to move even than the mythical mills of
the mythical deities. We do not despair, but
that the grand question Of roads improvement
will at an early day be recognized as one Of
utmost national importance and then, if not
before, perhaps the League Of American Wheel
mon may take a hand in politics in q way which
will command the respect Of candidates and
make them feel that the 'chimerical dream Of
few crazy cranks" hos become a solid, serious
fact All Of this goes to prove the fact that the
tendency is to draw the league into politics
willy -nilly."
