From the New York Times.


A burst tire, where the hole In the air
tube is too big to be covered by any ordin-
airy pieces of rubber, such as rider car
ries means a heap of trouble. There are
however, several things that may be done:
The unfortunate may walk to the nearest
railway station carrying his wheel; he may
ride on the flattened tire and ruin both
tubes by cutting into them with the rim, or
he may take off the tire and ride, on the
naked rim, running the latter, which Is
cheaper Better than either OF these, per-
haps. it will be TO adopt some ingenious.
though clumsy makeshift.. such as others
have devised. One rider in this dhemina
pulled out his inner tube when at ROCK
away, filled the shoe with sand and rode
home to New York that way: better
scheme was that Of a Brooklynite, VINO.
after removing the air sheath, stuned the
outer tube with hay; 1t was not an ideal
that without injuring either his tire or rim.
In lieu of rubber patches and cement N asn court
eases rags or chewed-up paper have been
substituted for rubber plugs.
