faint Of politics and jobbery about it.
THE AOUEDUCT BICYCLE ROAD.

The scheme Of making bicycle road along the
crest of the old CrOton Aqueduct appears more
attractive and more feasible the more it is CON
sidered Its attractiveness, indeed, Is beyond all
question and all expression. A broad, level road,
free from dust and mud, directly connected at
this end with the parks and boulevards Of the
city, and extending northward for forty miles
through the loveliest scenes this quarter Of the
world afforls-nothing could appeal more strong
ly to every wheeman worthy Of the name. As
for the feasibility of it, that seems as little open
to question. There has been much discussion Of
it, but, so far as we have observed or been able
TO ascertain. not single argument of serious i'm
port has been made against 1t. Some action by
the Legislature however, is necessary before the
whole extent of the aQueduct can thus be used.
4 bill TO that effect has been introduced at Al
bany We do not know that there is the slight
est opposition to 1t. But wheelmen will do well
to bring all possible influence to bear upon the
Legislature for its speedy passage. We are fast
approaching the best bicycling season Of the year
and this magnificent road should be made avail
able without n days delay.
In the mean time why cannot immediate action
be taken by the city authorities on that part of
the route lying within the city limits! 1t ought
not to be necessary to wait for legislative acton
so far as it is concerned. And it is the part OF
tho whole path that will naturally be most used.
From the corner Of Macombs Dam Road ana
observation-disclosures seventy scventh-st. to the upper
border Of Van Cortlandt Park-the New-lork
and Yonkers boundary lne-is splendid run OF
about four and a half miles. 1t does not need
making into n bicycle road. 1t is already MADE
1t is level as house floor fifteen to twenty rect
wide the sides supported by massive retaining
walls: the surface covered with smooth firm
turf or hard beaten clay. Nothing is needed Dut
the removal Of a few useless walls and fences
couple Of men could clear them all off, from
end TO end in day or two That done, there
would be an unmatched highway for the wheel
men Of Greater New-York. II the city officers
will say the word. and the wheelmen themselves
bestir themselves, the present week may see the
whole thing accomplished.

Wheelmen continue to wait for the fine spring
weather which seems TO be long time coming
this year. Numerous road runs were arranged
for yesterday but the disagreeable drizzle inter
fered, and the roads are hardly likely TO be in
good condition to-day. People who have not kept
pace with the growth of cycling have a surprise
awaiting them. The first week Of really sun
shiny, warm weather will bring out such a
cycling parade as was probably never before seen
in this or in any other city, Go to the Boulevard
in this city or to the Cycle Path in Brooklyn on
the first ideal summer day and see the wheels
spin along. After much preliminary discussion,
arrangements were finally made yesterday even
ing for series Of three races between Sanger

Good For west virginia..

The lowest point for petroleum
was reached in October, 1889
when the market dropped to 30
cents barrel for crude. Atthat
price oil that was not produced
under very favorable circum
stance was produced at a loss.
There was notmuch Inducements
to the ''wild-catter" to go ahead,
and prospecting in new fields
was accordingly abolished.
This time last wear oil had
risen to 80 cents. and the drill
was quite active, but it's opera
ii ms did not make up for the
dwindling production. The hope
of some great new field was not
realized. BY the first of this
year the price had reached %
cents. This and the promise of
something still better stimulated
work, but still the new field was
was not developed. Consump-
tion continues to increase while
production falls off.
There Will be an increase in
production due to the pumping
of small wells which did not pay
to operate at lower prices, but
all the oil that can be got out of
these wells will not bring up pro.
ductlon to the demands of the
market. There will be an add.
tion to production in territory
known to be capable of yielding
a small production to the well,
and there will be a rush of wild
eating in territory that gives
any promise at all.
West Virginia is bound to pro
fit by the state of the market.
Money will be spent in the State
for development and there will
be more producing wells.
Whether another Sistersville
field will reward the plucky pros.
pectors remains to be seen, but
there is more oil in West Vir.
ginia than has been found. We
should have some good reports
from the lower end OF the State.
