The question what effect the bicycling
of the present will have on future gen
erations Is now receiving attention in
all parts Of the world. There Is di-
vision Of opinion as to what the effect
will be. A majority of physicians agree
that the result cannot be anything but
beneficial to future generations. 1t is
maintained by them that the women of
the future will approach more closely
the present condition of men in muscu-
lar development. AS a mere matter of
physical condition, womanhood has
changed greatly in the past three years.
Heretofore women, speaking generally,
have been confined to the house, or at
best have not had sufficient exercise in
the open air. The coming of the bicycle
has taken woman out of doors, and has
induced her to exercise in the open air.
That alone has practically changed the
condition of woman's living. She has
become stronger and healthier, and the
good will be apparent in the years to
come.-New York Times.
The prospects that the new cycle path
in Brooklyn will not be ready for the
formal opening on June 9th has stirred
up the City of Churches to a consider
able extent. While the new path may
be opened on that date, the chances are
that 1t will not be in good condition for
riding for some time to come. This
new path will cost the city of Brooklyn
in the neighborhood of $100, ,000 The path
itself will cost 100000. New paths for
pedestrians will bring the total cost of
the improvements on the boulevard up
to $4,000 When completed, the Ocean
boulevard leading from Prospect park
to Coney island. distance of five and
half miles, will have the finest cycle
ways in the world.

Member of the National Racing Board.
The national circuit this week takes in
Kansas City on the 23inst and Peoria on
the 25th.
Mcfarland has defeated Otto Ziegler
seven times in scratch events since the
two have been together upon the ma
tional circuit, and has won nearly $40O
since leaving California.
G. r. Coulter writes the Chronicle that
at the San Antonio meet the heat was
so terrific that the races were not started
until after o'clock and even then in
order to keep cool the riders were obliged
to wrap themselves in wet blankets
when not riding.
John S. johnson is not making the sue
cess of his foreign tour that was expect
ed of him. 1t goes to show that record
breaking and winning open races do not
follow the same lines. Smashing re-
cords was easy work for Johnson, but
he has found it impossible to beat for
eign professionals in actual races
The success of Ziegler, Terrill and
Mcfarland on the national circuitThurs-
day, when they won all three profession
al races in an Arkansas town, one apiece
shows what splendid form the Califor-
mans are now in. Mcfarland Is looked
upon by many as the coming man. When
these three meet Bald, Cooper and San
ger there will be racing worth seeing.
