Chicago, New York, San Francisco
and Denver have all had their bicycle
shows, and Salt Lake is now enjoying
its first exhibition of the kind.
The show is being held in the Walker
pavilion, and the local dealers have
been hard at work preparing their ex-
hibits. That they are not lacking in
'96 models or artistic ideas was dem
onstrated when the show formally
opened last evening.
There are wheels and wheels, and
everything that pertains to wheels;
and the prospective buyer can get any
number of pointers as to his mount.
1T has been said that this years
wheels are but slightly different from
last years models. This is true only
to the novice. The point chiefly aimed
at now is a higher degree of perfection
in the manufacture; but there are any
number of improvements. The tubing
is larger, barrel tubing is used, and
a hundred and one little changes will
be explained by the expert. The show
demonstrates that last years wheel is
decidedly a back number.

ton that the enterprise of our dealers
