ASHLAND, Wis, March ga remark
able trial of speed on the winter cycle in
vention Of A. T. Firth Of Chicago, took
place on Chequamegou bay this after
noon. The machine is of great lightuess
and high gear. It was ridden mile in
Ia 3-5 and three miles in $40 la. The
rider went five miles over partially crust
ed surface in SIS. 1t is the fastest time
ever ridden on a machine propelled by hu-
man force. The fastest mile was made by
George w. Clifford.
The machine consists of a driving wheel
and two runners attached to an ordinary
bicycle frame, and il is so contrived that it
can De attached to any machine in few
minutes. An additional fork is run from
the front fork of the bicycle frame to the
forward runner, thence TO the rear runner
and up TO the bicycle frame again. The
weight of the rider is thus entirely upon
The runners or skates which were made OF
the lightess material possible. The power
OF propulsion IS furnished by the
driving gear of the machine, the
chain gear being attached to a
propeller drive wheel set in a movable
frame pivoied at the back of the machine,
allowing this drive wheel to be constantly
upon the surface of the ice or snow, and
thus overcoming all Irregularities met.
The only pressure upon this drive wheel is
its own weight and that is distributed TO
IL through the action of the rider upon the
pedals. At the angie of strain. the chain
may be so adjusted and changed by raising
or lowering the pivoted drive wheel frame,
that the friction upon The driving mechHn-
Ism Is brought To the lowest possible
point.

THE BEST OF REASONS.

The reason why ALLCoCK'S Porous
PLAsTERs are popular is that they may be
relied on to cure,
1. Lame back. sciatics, Stiffness or
twitching of the muscles.
2. Chest troubles. such as pleurisy,
pneumonia, consumption.
3. Indigestion, dyspepsia, biilousness,
kidney complaint.
The success, however, will depend upon
the genuiness of the plaster used. The
popularity of ALLCoCK'S Porous PLAsTERs
has been so great that multitudes of i'm
