a GENUINE UP-rO-DATE CELESTIAL
AND ne DIDN'T FAIL.
Mounted the Bike In as Dignifed Man
ner as IL HING Chang Would Have
Exhibited and Rode ON.

Mr.. Twig Temple. proprietor OF Tenn
pies Bicvclc Messenger Service. had a
novel experience yesterday that sur
prised him so he wouldn't believe that
anything funny can't happen now. Mr.
Temple, as everybody knows. is some
thing of n wheelman. lie has skinned
along merrily over every foot of ground
in Richmond and vicinity. and doesn't
mind the handle-bars OF his bike being
turned up or down. either. lie is some
thing OF a trick rider. too. and has won
enough medals In races to put brass
band director To the blush.
lie was having some wheels rubbed
up at his place yesterday, ana vas Won
dering whether couriers IN Venezuela
would use bicycles when English guns
ran them out OF that country. when
Chinaman entered. lie was no ordinary
Chinaman. but was a kind OF cultivated
member OF the rat-eating tribe.
HE WANTED A WHEEL.
He had done up enough collars to con-
ceal million Adams apples and never
had heaped upon his head the woes TO
which one Hop Lung was wont TO suffer
at the hands of the treacherous Hobo.
Mr. Temple wondered what this knight
of the queue might want The latter
didn't give his name. but IL is presumed
there was a Wah or a Lee in II. and Mr..
Temple looked at the Celestial out of the
corners of his eyes as much as to say:
What the deuce are you doing in
bicycle shop?"
The Chnaman soon made his wants
known, and used kind OF American
dialect accented In true Shanghai style.
When the man from the ORIENT explained
that he wanted TO hire a Wheel every
body in the establishment looked at each
other ana wondered il they had under
stood.
There was no mistake however. for
the Acknowledged individual determined to
ride Just like Americans. lie was shown
a bike with high hande-bars, but he
didn't like the latter. and looked at sew
eral others.
HE DIDN'T FALL.
Finally he was satisfied. and a number
of people collected to see him fall. But
he didn't with as much dignity as Ii
Hung Chang I'm the early part OF the
scrimmage with Japan. he mounted the
wheel amid general surprise and rode of
with his queue hanging down behind him.
Many people watched the Chinaman
pedal his way up Broad street, where
the Christmas shoppers elbowed their
way up and down the thoroughfare.
IL was a novel sight TO witness a China
man ride wheel. II is seldom seen.
Cinnamon don't take TO the latest fads
wi,h any degree of enthusiasm, and
they haven't yet caught the bicycle crsze.
