The criticism is sometimes heard that
bicycling develops only the muscles of the
leg and is therefore inferior in respect to
building up the physical structure to other
sports. Commenting upon this statement,

disproves it. All the important muscles
are brought into play. OF course, the legs
receive the greatest amount of exercise,
but the use of the arms, back and chest is
important
The accompanying cut shows the chief

The Two Qrnhans."

Kate Claxton played THE Two Or
phans, " last evening. TO an appreciative
and fairsized audience The audience
was rot an enthusiastic one, but showed
good appreciation for some of the work,
which was, in places, really excellent.
The play is well known and deservedly
popular. The parts, last evening, were
well handled, especially SO, in some of the
scenes, where anything short of good work
would make the play intolerable
The imporsonation of the old woman
character was true to the original, neither
oyerdone nor underdone. The part taken
by Kate Claxton was done almost above
adverse criticism, and the entire company
deserves credit for its handling Of the
various and sometimes difficult parts
