WOMEN WITH WHEELS.

83 years old who rides a wheel.
Nine. Sarah Grand has become an adj
vocate of cycling. The rational" dress
is the one she favors.
From several parts of the country

the wheel in delivering clothes to their
customers.
Ladies' bicycles are now turned out
in England with charming bags, hold

The sight of groom following his
bicycling mistress on a wheel is not rare
in England. 1t seems to be the proper
thing for him to wear full livery, with
belt, top boots and buckskin.
The cycling craze threatens to ruin
lawn tennis in England. The secretaries
of the numerous clubs round London are
in despair. All the ladies are away cy-
cling and the club grounds are deserted.

WOODEN FRAME BICYCLES.
Only the Frame Connections, Hubs, Pedals
and Small Fittings Are Metal.

and Small Fittings Are Metal.
Hard wood has gradually taken a more
prominent place in bicycle manufactur-
ing. In the early days of the sport the
bicycles made for young boys were made
of wood, with metal finishings With
the advance of cycle manufacturing
came the steel wheel, and wood was
gradually eliminated from the best BIZ
cyles. After several years of expert
menting and trouble with steel rims,
manufacturer hit upon the idea of wood
rims, and the rims proved so satisfactory
that they are used now almost without
exception ON wheels of all grades.
Wooden handle bars are rapidly pushing
their way into prominence because of a
lessening of vibration. Wood has also
been used with success for dress and
mud guards and for parts of saddles.
Now it is announced that the manu-
facture Of wooden frame bicycles is soon
to begin in Illinois An improved de-
sign has been prepared that, it is said,
is more elastic than the metal frame
wheels. They can be built cheaply and
look as we'll as high priced wheels. 1t
is said that the wooden frame differs
only slightly in appearance from the or
binary metal frame, that the frame is
no heavier, nor is it clumsy looking.
The diamond frame is of one piece Of
bent wood. The steering column is also
of wood and connected with the dia-
mond frame by a very ingenious device.
The bicycle has a wooden handle bar,
and the front forks, rear forks and rear
frame pieces are all of wood. These
parts are made somewhat larger than is
the case with metal frames in order to
give the requisite strength. The saddle
is of carved wood. The connections are
necessarily of metal, and in this case
phosphor bronze has been selected, the
connections being so constructed that
they may be frightened at any time, and
the hubs, pedals and other small fittings
are of steel, as used in the metal frame
bicycles. The frames are flexible natu-
rally and are said to stand hard usage
remarkably well.
The manufacturers of the new form
of bicycle are hopeful of success because
the wheel may be built to sell at COM
paratively small figure. Rock elm and
hickory, we'll filled and oiled, will be
used in the construction. A bicycle
built on this principle will be a return
to the spring frame idea which was ex-
perimented with and discarded by man
ufacturers soon after the pneumatic tire
made its appearance. The air tire made
the spring frame unnecessary, and the
most sought for quality in frames is
now rigidity. This quality would be
entirely lacking in a bicycle with a
wooden frame, and the wheeling public
has been SO thoroughly educated as to
the ACCESSIBILITY of stiff frame that the
wooden frame bicycle will have hard
road to travel. The metal frame wheel
does not seem to be threatened with
Punishment just yet on account of the
appearance of the wooden frame bicycle.

DR.. Parkhurst on Sunday Cycling.

1 can see no objection to using the
wheel for such purposes on Sunday. A
man came to our church from Harlem
on his wheel recently, and we took care
of it during the services for him. We
will care for the wheels of all others
who may desire to come to church in
that manner. AS for the further use of
wheels on Sunday, hardly care to ex
press an opinion. think the question
depends entirely upon how persons are
circumstanced. If their occupation is
such as to preclude their riding on any
other day, it might be different from the
case of persons who have plenty of time
to ride during the week. After all, il
seems to be a question for each person
to settle with his own conscience. -

mo- suooeed the RIoxcle.

A local dealer in bicycles predicts
that in five years the bicycle will be as
out of date as last years almanac.
The motor wheel will have taken its
place. He bases his argument ON the
fact that in the $50 miles race last year
to and from Paris and Bordeaux, horse
less carriages being the vehicles, an
average speed of 151a miles per hour
was maintained Moreover, the cheaper
cost of production and the constantly
decreasing weight of this new departure
in vehicles are bound to insure general
demand for them and consequently rele.
gate the present bicycle to the back.
