when winning from a player in two classes
above him he scores three points. and from

Look over the machine carefully at least
once a week, and before starting out on
any long run see that the nuts are all tight
and that the wheels work perfectly. Don't

To true wheel all that Is necessary Is
to tighten the spokes on the side which
permits the bend and unlooscn those on
the other side. The idea is to distribute
the strain as evenly possible among the
spokes. A wheel much out of true when
ridden is apt to collapse. One Of the sure
indications of wheel being out of true is
a general tendency of the wheel to slide
beneath the rider. especially when round
ing a corner.

The latest bicycle sulky invented for
racing Is featherweight contrivance, diff
fering very materially in make and ap-
pearance from, the ordinary "bike-sulky."
This new machine Is intended to be used
behind trotters and PAGERS. and the inven-
tor claims that instead Of being q drag or
hindrance to the horse. the new sulky
rather aids HIM in the race; for by its Pc
culiar construction the new racing sulky
gives the horse more room and fpeer ac-
ton, at the same time placing the driver in
such a position that his weight Is removed
from the horse and lifts" the animal.
making him light-footed and thereby in
creasing his speed.
The new racing sulky consists Of the
usual shaped shafts, giving free
space for the horse. The driver sits so far
behind the axle that his weight acts as a
counter weight to that of the horse, and is
a material aid In lifting him. The whole
structure is of the lightest possible char
acter. The wheels are twenty-four or
twenty-eight inches in diameter. and are
exactly like an ordinary bicycle wheel The
whole weight Is balanced on the wheel. and
is thus entirely removed from the horse

A PORTABLE WHEEL.
II Can BE Folded Into a Case and
Carried by Hand.

The pocket bicycle is not toy or
plaything. but full-sized machine. with
pneumatic tire, regulation handle bar.

the thousand and one things that 80 to
make up a high-grade machine. 1t is full
size, and can be unscrewed taken apart
and folded Up.
1t looks like a seemingly hopeless task
for any one but a skilled mechanic to put a
bicycle. together but the pocket bicycle
is said to be so simple that any one can
master the process after once seeing 1t
done The fastening springs and tiny bolts
| are, for the most part, so deftly htted into
the framework as TO he unnoticeable TO
the casual observer. They are, however,
made OF the finest tempered steel, strength
ening instead of weakening the machine.
The framework of the machine is at
| tached to the handle of the fork by fitting
| into slots, and being ciamped into position
| by a spring. The axle pins are somew hat
| longer than in an ordinary machine, and fit
| into a notch in the ends of the fork. and at
| the points of the frame where the rear axle
| joins ii. The seat lifts out of deep groove
which holds IL firmly in place while the
| rider is on the machine, and the handle Is
| held in place by a similar device.
Perhaps the most curious part of the
whole machine, however, is its wheels. In
| no way can they be distinguished from or
| diDary wheels when in Use, but they de-
| to pack the machine. These wheels are
made in four quarter sections, each section
being complete in itself. When the tire has
been slipped OF, a spring concealed in the
| hub is pressed, and the wheel falls Into
| four parts. each of which can be closed like
a fan, and the wheel becomes apparently

Bicycle Acolian Harm.

The cyclists In the northern states have
fdt upon an ingenious device for producing
musical sounds in connection with the
riding Of the wheel. The continuance is
really an aeolian harp. and is constructed
In simple manner. Rubber bands of all
sizes are stretched from the top of the
lower frame extending from the head to
the saddle post brace. The tension, of
course. is great. and the result is that
when the wheel is ridden the wind whis-
ties through the fine rubber and produces
a melodious sound. The volume of the
sound is regulated entirely by the speed
of the cycle. The faster the machine is
propelled the greater the harmony, and
spectators who are new to the contrivance
are often puzzled to what produces the
music Many of the riders, not content
with using rubber on the frame, have rub
Der bands stretched through the spokes of
the wheel, around the front forks and the
rear braces. This only increases the vol
TINE of the melody.
