BICYCLE SPELLING.
The process sounds almost absurdly
simple and yet 1t is one Of the very hardest.
things to do. All one needs is a lcng
stick with chalk yon in one end, a
piece of moist sponge on the other and a
big blackboard on an easel in one corrfer
Of the academy floor. Circling round the
floor, as the rider Dears the board, she
slows up and commences to write on a
ruled line. Her work must be done while
she moves, for not only has sh e to keep her
balance, but must get out of the way of
some rider who is folio wing armed also
with crayon and sponge.
If the first wheel woman has allowed her
letters to sag below or run above a limit
line, the writer who follows has the privi-
lesc, with her sponge, OF blotting out the
offending letters, or she can let the error
80 and give all her energies to trying to
inscribe her own name or sentence below
the writing of the first cyclist. Since
only very few letters can be written at
every halt the contestants circle the floor
many tunes always adding to their work,
or rubbing out incorrect chalk marks Of
the writing of others. An umpire stands
beside the blackboard, to see that no
wheelwoman either spends all her time
rubbing out false marks, or ignores glaring
errors. in order to work only on her own
sentence, and that time is called after
certain number OF visits to the board.
Some women, who do bicycle litera-
ture," as they call it, can write a whole
word, neatly and with graceful flourishes,
in passing once, others, since the acad
enlies opened, have learned to do tbeif
initials, with most elaborate lettering,
at single halt and at the evening
wheeling matches word is given. Who
ever writes it out In the fewest visits
to the board aud most neatly gets prize
OF course the longer the word the greater
the skill displayed in doing 1t most
rapidly. "COnsanguinity' Is the most
elaborate collection of syllables yet done
in two visits and smart little maid Of
.sixteea holds that record up to date.

The greater part Of the evening was
taken up in discussing the feasibility Of
the barbecue plan. but as delegates from
only seven Of the cycling clubs were pres

decisive action. The secretafy wa d.
rected to notify each OF the cycling clubs

NEW rANDEMs.
Some Will he Made With the Rear
- Seat Much Higher.


Seat Much Higher.
K IA Question frequently asked Of bicycle
agents nowada Us Is: what win you allow
me on my wheel In exchange Tor an 1897
tandem. when they are ready Tor distribu
tion?" Agents everywhere have had this
query propounded to them until they have
become convinced that next SEASON will
be a tandem season with n vengeance.
With such sure tip to guide them the
ipakers OF several wheels have put forth
special efforts in the direction OF double
machines and some striking and desirable
novelties may be looked for In the 1897
output. One OF the novelties has already
been prepared and exhibited. 1t should
score an insta nta neous success since 1T
combines an important feature lacking in
other models. The construction is such
that the rear rider las an Unobstructed
view and perfect control Of the steering.
A prominent L. A. w. official recently took
tandem ride with his wife, who is con-
siderably larger than he. Asked upon his
return what he saw on the trip, his reply
was: Nothing at all Of the country. but
plenty OF balloon sleeves and my wife's
curls." The new tandem. obviates this
condition and that Is one reason why 1t
will become popular. Anexpert explain
ing the construction Of this machine says:
THE rear crank hanger is raised seven
and one-halt inches over the line between
wheel Centers, while t he front crank hanger
is dropped one and half inches below,
placing the rear rider in position in which
he has a clear view The strong arched
bracing OF the rear crank nanser lends an
unusual rigidity to the whole construction,
by which steering. especially at sharp
turns, is much facilitated, whipping OF the
chains and swaying OF the frame icing
avoided and restrnl feeling Of security iui-
parted to the riders. ice high seat may
be mounted from the pedal without any
difficulty on either upstroke or dOwnstrnke,
and in dismot ntinE the high frame affords
a ready AMI firm hold if it becomes Eeces-
sary to stop the machine suddenly in this ]
rua nner."

century run to Frederick October IL.
This is the date of the century run from
Baltimore to the same town, and the Wash
ington boys want to see some of the fun.
At least twenty members have expressed
their intention OF going out and more may
yet join.
The riders of this club now let the weather
decide their Sunday runs. Last Sunda y
they concluded to ride to Marshall Hail.
They started about $50 in the morning
and upon their arrival they found the place
closed. There were thirteen of them
and they We're hungry. They managed to
find a few crackers and a little cheese
and ate this for lunch.
Four started back home at once and
six waited for a boat. This party came
to Alexandria and got dinner. The other
three missed the boat and had to be ferried
across the river. Once on the Virginia
side they rode home. Today It is likely
that the ride will be to Rockville.
The last ladies' run of the season will
be given Friday evening. 1t will be fol-

They Are Proving Most Popular in
Some Places.
Just as soon as the owrsrs of the thor
oughbred began to cut down the distances
in the races the general interest in the
affairs Of the turf began to lag. 1t is be-
ginning to look as if the promoters OF
cycle racing have made a mistake in hav-
ing so many short 6ashes. A good dis
tance race. ridden properly, will attract
the public every time.
This was illustrated at the hig meet in
New York city last week. When the hour
race was suggested many people said that
1t would be tedious affair. 1t was Just
the reverse, and such excitement was never
before witnessed on cycle track as that
which greeted little Michael, the Welsh
wonder. and Starbuck during the last twen-
ty miles OF their great struggle.
