OF Interest to wheeImcp,

Roanoke riders who witnessed the
races of the Norfolk Cycle Club April
1G report that the feature of the meet
was the exhibition Of fancy riding by
Messrs. w. Harry Ward of Washington,
ID. c., and viii VIM, OF North Caro-
lima.
Mr.. Ward is the 'cyclist who rode
down the stairs of the capitol at Wash
ington some years since. He performed
similar but more difficult feat while
in Norfolk, the slant of the steps being
much sleeper. He uses in his trick
riding an oldstyle high wheel and per-
forms most OF the fea.s Of professional
trick riders.
Mr.. Winn uses safety. and his riding
was revelation to the Roanoke boys.
He assumes almost every conceivable
position on the machine, rides back.
wards seemingly as easily as forwards,
picks up his cap from the ground and
for change rides with his back to the
handle-bars. He jumps from his
machine while in motion, turns couple
of handsprings and catches and mounts
the machine before it falls. He does a
contortion act while riding and winds
up his exhibition by having IAN assist
ant steady his bicycle while he leaps
into the saddle over six other wheels,
stacked side by side, and rides off as
coolly as If he had mounted in the
usual manner. An effort will be made
to have Mr.. VIM give an exhibition of
fancy riding at the meet of the Virginia
Wheel club.

There have been many Affections
cast upon the state of Kansas. In
the early days the untutored copper
hued child of the prairie scalped his
pale-face brother; later the grass
hOppers scalped the fields of their
abundance: cyclones have smitten us:
tOrnadoeS haveripped us up the back;
drouth has parched the soil until the
cactus and sage brush have withered
for want Of moisture; an unfortunate
east wind blew D. R. Anthony and
Sol Miller into the state. These were
but tritleS, however, to the buOyant
nature of the average KanSan. But
their spirits must quail now. A ca

1t is so easy for the Monitor to fig
ure out victory for the Republicans
in the next election and it pretends
to be anxious for the contest. In its
figuring to show how the Republicans
are sure of victory it says, between
1890 and 1892 the Republicans made a
net gain of 10000 votes Anyone
who will compare the figures will see
how ridiculous and prepOSterous this
claim is. With the same prOpriety
we might say that from 1888 to 1892
the Republicans made met" loss of
over $4,000 votes and be just as near
the truth. The Monitor should re-
member that the returning boards
will not be IN the hands of the Re-
publicans next time, so it may sub
tract not less than ten per cent. for
imported repeaterS. Then subtract
about twenty per cent. of its farmer
and labor vote, which will go with
the Populists, and then subtract ten
per cent. for the loss its party will
sustain by reason of being out of pow
er, and it will be much closer the real
strength of its party than it will by
figuring on gains. Indeed, it will be
surprising if the Republicans hold
two-thirds the strength the returns
showed at the last election. 1t has
probably overlooked the fact that the
