Camp IN Turkestan.

Camp IN TUrkestan.
Messrs. Allen and Sachtleben, who
went around the world OF BICYCLES
give the following account of one Of
their experiences in Turkestan:
One of the chief incidents of ON
pleasant sojourn was afforded by Gov.
Ivanoff. We were invited TO Mead the
procession of the Cossacks on their an.
nual departure for their summer en-.
eampment in the mountains. After the
usual religious ceremony, they fled
out from the city parade ground. Be,
ing unsvoidably detained for a few
moments we did not come up until
some time after the column had
started As we dashed by to the front
with the American and Russian flag.

bars. cheer after cheer arose from the
ranks, and even the governor and his
party dotted their caps in acknowledge
ment. At the camp We were favored
with special exhibition of horsemau-
ship. By a single twist of the reins the
steeds would fall TO the ground. and
their riders crouch down behind them
rs a bulwarl1 in battle. Then dashing
forward at full speed, they would
spring to the ground, and leap back
again into the saddle. or, hanging by
their legs. would reach over and pick
up a handkerchief, cap, or a soldier
supposed to be wounded. All these
movements we photographed with our
camera. OF the endurance of these
Cossacks and their Kirghiz horses We
had a practical test. overtaking a
Cossack courier in the early part of

ested in the velocipede, as the Rus
slams call the bicycle. that he de-

His chief compensation was in Wit

whom he would shout across the fields

explanation that we were the Ameri-
