York Sun. To finish his record he rode
up to Central Park and covered 6s
miles during his final spin. His per-

diminished his interest in cycling.

stockily built. and while not given to
racing. is able to hold a good fast pace
on the road for 100 miles without any
signs of fatigue. His monthly mileage
record is as follows: April, ass: May,
COS: June, 1,122; July, LAG: August,
2,111; September, 1876; October 2,l95;
November, 1866: December. 1850; jan

1,l60. He has ridden over fifty cen
turtles, and asserts that while he has
lost some weight during the year, he
feels in excellent health. and hopes to
continue his riding so that by June /
he will have record of $4,000 miles to
his credit Allart will secure the mil
cage medal presented by the Brooklyn
Bicycle Club to the member covering
the greatest number of miles this sea-
son. He did not enter into any other
competitions.
The prize offered by the Century
Road Club of America. a handsome
medal to the rider covering the great
est number of centuries last season, has
been awarded to w. A. Rubey, of Louis
vile. He rode ninety-two centuries
last year, making total of $500 miles.
Rubey is 2S years old and only weighs
115 pounds, but shows no signs Of his
constant riding, and while his speciality
was century riding. and while his ac-
tual mileage record is close to 1900
miles he went on 100-mile rides at
every opportunity.
The fact that Allart, OF the Brooklyn
Bicycle Club. did not compete for the
latest mileage medal of the Century
Road Club allows r. e. O'Connor, of the
Chicago Cycling Stub, to claim that
trophy. Last year A. A. Hansen won
the Chicago Club medal for the greatest
individual mileage. but o'Connor's rec
ord of 14,17s miles secured the prize Of
this year.
0'Connor started in April of 's5 for
the record. During the year he rode
forty century runs. and averaged about |
fifty miles every day.
His monthly record is as follows: An |
ril, $50; May. l.20s: June, 1.762; July,
1878; August, 1850: September. 2.o40:
October 1850; November, 1857. Decem-

that they will again run up big figures.
Some riders maintain that long distance
riding is carried TO extremes with in
furious results to the aspiring slayer.
The Manhattan Bicycle Club of this
city, In view Of close contest between
several members of its club in Compel
ing for the high mileage prize and the
alleged i'll effects that the competitors
showed from their struggle, decided to
abandon the contest this year. Their
views are not shared by the majority

interest is now taken in mileage rec
ords, and well-seasoned road riders
think nothing of riding 10000 miles in
twelve months. Such performances re-
quire pretty constant riding, as a
wheelman who rides 10000 miles in one
year has to average almost A miles a
day for the entire 1865 on the calendar.
Several years ago w. Shadbolt of the
Brooklyn Bicycle Club, rode 1854
miles In twelve months, which was con-
sidered great performance. After his
record year Shadbolt seemed to lose all
interest in cycling. and nowadays he
only rides occasionally. His action was
ascribed to the fact that a rider who
is constantly riding with the one OBJ
ject OF covering specified number of
miles robs the pastime Of its attractive
ness and makes it species of task.
Previous to Shadbolt's ride William
F. Murphy, of Brooklyn. rode for mil
cage honors and established a record
OF 1900 miles. These figures have
been improved upon each year. Last
season Milton HI. Keim, of Philadel-
phia, won the individual mileage prize
OF the Century Road Club with record
of over 1900 miles. 1t is only riders
who have considerable spare time that
can expect to compete for the long dis
lance mileage records. because it is only
by constant long distance riding that
the thousands can be rolled up.
Frederick Allart, of the Brooklyn BIZ
cycle Club. decided last season that it
was possible to better Shadbolt's rec
ord. He started on April 1. 1895. and
finished his ride March 81. with rec
ord Of 1912 miles to his credit. Allart

REGISTER AT ONCE.

The first duty of Republicans at this
time is to register their names on the list
of voters. All other political duties de-
pend on that. Until man has registered
he has not made sure of his right to vote.
He cannot with consistency urge others to
the performance of their obligations as
citizens until he has put himself in po-
sition to perform his own.
At the present time registration is going
on very slowly. There are no crowds in
the registration Office. No one has to wait
long. 1t requires very little trouble and
time for the citizen to have his registra-
tain made under these circumstances.
Later on there will be a rush at the Office.
Crowds will be standing round the desks.
Then those who come will have to wait.
1t is, therefore, the part of wisdom for
business men to register at once. Better
attend TO the duty wnen it can be per-
formed with ease, convenience and prompt
ness than to delay until the last moment
and then be compelled to submit to con-
siderable crowding and annoyance and
loss of time.
The Republican clubs of this City should
make it part of their business to see
that all Republicans il their districts are
registered. Bring out the voters. Unless the
full voting strength of the party is on the
voting list it will go badly with the party
on election day. Clearly the pressing po-
litical duty of the day is to register your
self and then see that other Republicans
are registered. Attend to it to-day.
