| Guarantee.
The Board of Directors Of the National Cycle
| Board OF Trade held meeting at their offices on
| Monday and discussed the question of cycle ex-
| hibits, guarantees. and the government Of
| racing. The Board reviewed the work accom-
| pished for the eastern and western cycle shows
| to be held early next year. and expressed con-
fdence that they will be the most aucoessful
ever held. The question Of what guarantee
manufacturers should give with new bicycles
next season resulted in the adoption of the fol-
| lewing:
We agree with the purchaser of each bicycle to
make good by repair or replacement when delivered
at our factory transportation pre- paid any mperfec-
ton or defect In material manufacture of such
bicycle not caused by misuse neglect; provided
that the factory serial number shall be such bi.
cycle the time the claim ia made and that all i'm.
perfect defective parts shall be referred US
fore any ciaim for repair or replacement shall be
allowed. This guarantee continues for six months
from the date OF the sale by the agent
This guarantee will likely be accepted by all
the leading manufacturers.

the meeting that the conduct OF racing In all its
aspects should be left entirely in the hands of
the l.. A. w. With that end in view. the Rae

has not been overly successful. and 1t is doubt
/ ful II the scheme will generally prevail next
year. Racing men are reluctant to contest out
doors at night for fear of accidents, and the poor
| lighting facilities at the outdoor tracks makes
competition hazardous.
