L. c. Hungerford, whose riding last sea
son in New York provoked favorable COM

that the cycling editor is wneelwright, or
that the wheelwright would make a good
spokesman.

is reported to intend. and rides there, he
is likely to make a big success. He is a
finished horseman, but for some reason has
never been duly appreciated here.
