AN EXCITING BICYCLE RACE

One OF the most exciting races that has
ever taken place in this city was held
about week ago. and, strange to relate,
it was not between any of the local crack
erjacKs. Two of the best known gentle
men in the town were the participants.
and the intensity with which they rode
would have led one to believe that large
purse was at stake. There was not,
however, but the faction was most
noticeable and the small and select audi
ence felt that their tims had not been
thrown away by watching the event.
The participants were DR.. f. X. Aims
worth and James Gunner. the lumber
dealer. Both had been riding bicycles for
probably day without the assistance of
the iuustructors to hold Thea: on, when
the question of supremacy arose between
them. The matter was referred to NUT Lal
friends who agreed that the only way to
Sc tie the dispute was according to the
bicycle code, and race was arranged.
The place OF meeting selected was on
Figusroa street, from Pico to Washington,
and return.
So they repaired in company with their
seconds and other attendants to the
course and got in fighting trim. DR..
Ainsworth wore Nile green sweater.
hile the manly bosom OF Mr.. Cuzn er
was incased in one of lavender hue. What
they had on their limbs does not, to
quote Chimmie Fadden, 'cut no ice,"
as those parts of their respective anato-
mics are the least of them.
Mr.. Gunner entered most vigorous
protest against his opponent appearing
in costume so conspicuously antago-
nistic to his own, and for a Few moments
it appeared that the race would never be
run. Finally. though, when the seconds
eyes, appealed 20 the well-known kind
heart of the lumber man by telling him
that his opponent had only tho one gar
ment of the kind with MIN, and that if
he discarded it the police might stop the
race or the doctor catch bad cold, Mr..
Gunner smiled magnanimously, and
with the air of a martyr that he was,
cried, "On to victory-or the sidewalk

N. C-awley, Judge W. H. Clark, Frank
Burnett, DIR. Kannon, and last and
ant.
The race started from Pico street.
Shortly after they were under way Mr.
Gunner fell off his wheel. The crowd
yelled to the mercurial DR.. Ainsworth to
wait and give the little fellow a chance.
Rene bering the incident of the sweater,
the able disciple Of Esculapius retaliated
upon the nIagnanimous, and slowed up
until the other caught him. They were
neck and neck going up the stretch. and
coming back they resembled the Siamese
twins, so closely were they punched.
But when within less than 100 yards from
the goal they encountered large wagon.
Mr.. Gunner managed to pass by safely,
but not so DR.. Ainsworth. The latter fell
off his wheel, and try as hard as possible,
he could not mount again. and MIR. Cuz-

the object of the present invention to pro-
vide construction whereby the position
of the handle bar may be adjusted with
out dismountlng.
4 In Mr.. Burton s invention the handle
bar is mounted upon the steering post in
such manner that it may be rotated,
catch or locking device being provided
for normally maintaining the handle bar
in position. A thumb piece is situated
in "a position to be conveniently reached
by the hand of the rider to release the
spring catch or locking mechanism and
permit the rotation of the handle bar.
The inventor also provides means where
by the handles themselves may be rotated
relatively to the handle bar, so THAT the
handle bar may be moved into any posi-
tion without changing the position OF the
handles within the hands. For tn IS pur-
pose the handles are pivoted at their ends
to the handle, bar and normally main
famed IN position bv spring catch or
locking device which may be released by
a thumb piece situated in convenient
position to be engaged by the hand of the
rider. Mr.. Burton provides single
thumb piece which controls the locking
device of the handle bar and also the
locking device OF both handles, whereby
when the thumb piece is engaged by the
hand of the rider the bar and the handles
are free 10 be rotated into any desired po-
sition. There is further improvement
conte plated whereby the handles work
themselves automatically on the end of
the handle bar. so that they do away with
the locking device on handles.-Chicago
