PoRrLANp,s FIRST BICYCLE.
1t Was Brought From England by a Mr.
Collier.

On Congress street, a little above and oppo-
site the great Brown block, is row of little
| one-story wooden buildings which will ere long
be replaced by handsome structure. They
are dilapidated buildings and in back of them is
chaos OF dirty alleys and rotting sheds. In
one of these sheds standing in the corner, where
1t has stood tor nearly eight years, is the first
bicycle that was ever owned and ridden in this
city or in fact, the whole state. 1t u.s. of course,
a high wheel or ordinary and is a very crude
machine, compared to the latest "ordinaries, y
to say nothing OF modern cushion and pneumatic
safeties. The rim of the large wheel is triangu-
lar in shape and solid, and on that account, in
order to save weight it is very small and the
depression for the rubber tire is consequently
very shallow. Therefore the tire was always
coming off unexpectedly and it could not be
stuck in firmly. The spokes are few in number
and larger than the average and are of brass.
The bearings are plain, like those of any cart
wheel
This bicycle was brought to this city from
England by an Englshnan named Collier,
somewhere about 1875 or 1876. He rode it
about the streets and it was also hired and rid
den by several Of Portland's young men, among
them, notably, Mr.. Frank Woodman of the
Casco Bank.
In the winter Of '76-'77 the brothers, Messrs.
). ii. and @. f. Lamson, after long elaboration
as to the advisability of investing so much
money in such q plaything, bought the bicycle
for $50. They secured the use of hall in one
OF the largetwholesale blocks and undertook to
learn to ride their new velocipede. 1t was
whole week before either Of them succeeded in
mounting the machine without assistance.
Aftertwo or three days spent in holding it for
each other to mount and then two or three
days spent in acquiring the ability to stand on
the step, Mr. G. III. Lamson at last plucked up
courage to climb into the saddle alone. He
didn't stay there very long. but the mastery of
the bicycle soon followed. During the follow
ing spring both OF the Lamsons purchased new
wheels from Boston, of English make, of
course, and the old wheel was sold to Edward
II. York for about $50. After riding 1t some
time Mr. YORK sold it to George B. Charleton
who owned it for two years. He paid $50 for
it. TWAS getting weak by the time he got it
and was continually breaking During the
first year he received $33 by letting it at SO
much an hour. But soon after, it collapsed al
most totally ana he neglected it for aboutsix or
seven months. Then he sold it to a young
maohinist, named Levi, for S25. who repaired Is
and rode It and In turn sold it, for $25 to Edwin
D. Reynolds, its present owner, who has not
ridden u for nearly eight years. 1t is still
mouidiness that could never be eradicated, and
in view OF Its being the first bicycle owned in
the state. deserves to be preserved in some col
lection of relics or curiesities.

A Singular Accident.

As man was about to climb on to the wharf
from tug boat recently, he placed his hand on
the top Of one of the piles and the ends of the
two longest fingers of each hand rested over a
crack so that very little of the flesh was below
the surface. The tug boat crashed against the
pile just then, the crack closed up and the man
was held as in trap, by the skin of those fin
gers. which was fiattened into an extraordinary
thinness, and completely benumbed. 1t was
over week before his fingers had recovered
their normal feeling. 1t was narrow escape
from the loss of portion of them.
