The Times Herald has adopted the
term "motocycle' to be used in place
of "horseless carriage" There is no
doubt that many European vehicles will
be present and make the run.
The results of this race will be bene-
fetal in many ways, not the least OF
which will be to call attention to the
condition of our roads. With the com
ing into use of motorcycles on a grand
scale there must of necessity be i'm

demand becomes emphatic the work

The Farmers Review does not wish
to take the position of an alarmist, end
throw out the impression that we will
henceforth have no use for horses. On
the other hand it can but advise horse
breeders to keep a sharp eye on the
situation. We see the inroads the
bicycle has made on the business Of
ness of producing the family horse"
The coming of motorcycles will doubt
less work something of a revolution in
the equine world. The first effects vii!
be felt in lesseped demand for carriage
horses. The last to feel the effects will
be heavy draft horses. and the common
farm work horse. Ultimately even
these may feel the effects of COMPETE
ton from motors, but it is so far in
the future that the sale of draft horses
being bred and reared now will not be
greatly curtai,ed. Hence, draft horse
breeding would seem to be safest for the
farmer. 1t takes five years TO produce a
draft horse, and the market is not like
ly to be overstocked. AS to the speed
with which mechanics will supplant
muscle, we can only conjecture. The
bicycle was in use for twenty five years
before ii really became great factor
in our economics. Only within the last
six years has it exDanded beyond all
anticipations and b<ome what is de-
nominated ''craZe." But motorcycles
will doubtless not be thus slow in win
ming their way. The bicycle has
broken the ice," so to speak, and the
firms that can manufacture at rea-
sonable price motorcycle family car
riages that will cost only few cents
per hour to run them, will be overrun
with orders from the first. We can SEQ
how the construction of electric car
lines has increased from single line
few years ago to immense proper
lions today. Future inventions will not
require generations to win favor as did
the steam locomotive and the steam
boat. People are now keenly alive to
any possible invention that will in
crease their comfort or meet their ne
cessities, and. like the Athenians of old,
run after every new thing. Incredulity

A few years ago We first began to hear
of electric vehicles being used in Euro
pean cities, first as the playthings of
the rich. and then as the servants of
the tradesmen and mechanics. They
were soon used for delivering groceries
and other merchandise to customers.
They became quite common in London.
In France various kinds of vehicles
were made, few to run by electricity,
but more to be driven by steam power
and by gas and oil motors.
The firms that manufactured them
increased in numbers, and were en-
couraged by numerous orders for horse
less carriages. These were seen to
of great advantage over the old style
that required horses to draw them.
The advocates of them enumerated the
following superiorities: The horseless

four engines entered, also driven by oil
motors, and M. LIE Blant had two steam
carriages entered. The first carriage
commenced the journey at s o'clock
Sunday morning, followed at short in
tervals by the other twenty. The re-
strictiOns and conditions of the race
were somewhat peculiar, as it was not
designed to test the speed, and for this
reason it was calculated at about eight
miles per hour, no allowance being
made for any greater speed. The OBJ
ject was primarily to test the control
and comfort of the ccnveyances, and
also the freedom from breakdowIs
rather than the speed. Two hours
stoppage in all was counted upon, and
it was estimated that the journey would
be accomplished by s o'clock in the
evening-that is, twelve hours to make
the run of eighty miles, with two hours
