for new professional bicycle worlds to
conquer he wants to be an amateur again.

on the eve of a trip to Australia and
Jaapn. Only the details remain to be ar
ranged. Great inducements have been
held out to him to pedal himself at his
remarkable speed for the dedication of
lovers of the wheel in the land of the kan
CARGO. In tle Mikado's Empire he looks
forward to less profitable tour. He will
not be fearful of losing his title to cham

for the mile is much lower than ''Zim-
mmy's' for double the distance.

expenses paid, % per cent OF the gate
