SrKrRrNvIIIE. O.. July 29.-There are
probably more bicycles and bicycle riders
in Steubenville than in any city OF Its size
in the union. This is, in a great measure,
on account of our elegantly paved streets,
which enable riders 10 spin along with an
easv motion in the middle Of street just as
IL they were on the pavement. In TACT, the
middle Of the street is better than the pave
ment, so that bicycle and carriage riders In
Steu 0enville have the best OF pedestrians;
BICYCLES have got TO be quite a means OF
Iocomotiou for business men going TO aud
from their places Of business. IL enables
