The Cycle industry in ereat Britain.

Inc Cyclo INDUSTRY III STeat BRITAIN.
The Times of late date has an interest
ing article dealing with the cycle industry,
from which it may readily be gathered
how great has been the development in
this direction of late months. 1t is conf
puted from trustworthy sources that the
output for the British trade at the present
rate of production may be stated at about
$50, 900 cycles per annum, which may
roughly be valued at between ell ,000, 600
and f12000,0O0 The exports ofcycles last
year were of the vaIne of Ell .393 $40, against
81, 200, ,913 of the previous year, and the in
crease has been of larger volume
this year. For the first three months
the exports were valued at f444 500.
against 1888. 096 in the first quarter of 1895
and 1929, ,535 in the same period of 1894:
while for the month OF March last the
figures were f178,377. against Ella, ,397 in
1895 and f142, 1874 in 1894. Since then the
increase must have been even still greater.
Thus in the export trade as well as in the
home trade there has been remarkable
advance. Up to the end of 1895. accord
ing to the "Cyclist Year Book" the
returns of the limited companies repre-
sented capital nearly approaching
f6 OOO, ,0O0 Since then there have been a
number of large developments. and it may
be taken that the amount of capital repre-
sented by limited cycle companies makes
grand total of ovei eli ,000, o00.-West-

A MONSTER ENGINE.
The pride of the System" Now in
Operation at the Bryant
Avenue Carhouse.

An engine has just been placed in posi-
tion at the Bryant-avenue carhouse, cor
ner of Eleventh and Shannon streets, that
is called the "pride of the Market-street
system" 1t has been III process of con-
struction at the Union Iron Works for the
last six months, and about one month
was required to place it in its present posi-
ton. The engine is considered one of the
finest pieces of mechanical work ever
turned out by the Union Iron Works
The big engine is used for driving two
railway generators of 400 kilowatts each,
and is itself of 400 horsepower. One of
its peculiarities marking the improvement
of the time in mechanics is that the en-
gine possesses no fy-wheels, but governs
from the high-pressure cvlinder alone 1t
is pronounced by G. J. Kaiglin, chief SUI
perintendent engineer of motive power of
the Market-street system, to be marvel.

fortune that awaits her
MISS Florence Bindley, the chief character,

The Columbia Theater.

"Tennessees Pardner," the comedy-drama
that has been praised by the Eastern critics,
was produced at the Columbia last night In
the presence of fairly good house.
The play, suggested by Bret Harte's charm
ing romance of mountain and mining life, IS
one that will prove attractive when the

fully appreciate the character of people who
inhabited Nevada mining camp in the palmy
days OF that State, and learn that long boots
with high polish on them are not the rule In
such place nor even in Sand Hill.

At the Orpheum.

Another strong bill is being presented at the
Orpheum this week, some of 1t consisting of
new performers and the rest of the best of last
weeks holdovers.
The Detroit brothers, one OF the new acts,
made quite hit with their acrobatic perform
ance. Their work, which is done on the stage,
is graceful as we'll as remarkably skillful.
Mays and Hunter are clever ban jo team, who
won repeated encores last night. Among other
selections Liszt's second Hungarian Rhap-
sodie" was played by the two performers with
remarkable color and effect. Hunter also
played part of the overture 10 fWiliiam Tell >
as Il banjo solo very skillfully. Mays iibe at
preachers in the imitation of a church SER
mon might with advantage be suppressed.
If there is fault to be found with this
weeks programme, 1t is that it contains u
plethora oil comic acrobatic work. 1t is all
good of its kind, but there is a good deal of It,
The new grotesque comiques, Nelson, Glin-
seretti ana Demouio, do such startling aero
bate work that one forgiyes the weird make
up of the man who is supposed TO portray a
Chinaman.
The holdovers include the three brothers
Horn and Miss Joe Reeves, who made such r.
hit last week; Herr Grais and his trick donkey
and baboon; Charles Colby and Allie Way, The
yentriloqnist and dancing doll; as WELL as
Clayton, jenkins and Jasper; Her, Burk and
Belmar; and E.dora and Norine.

added TO the second edition of Ferris Hart

performance was excruciatingly funny.

opened yesterday at the Aleazar 1heater. The
performance is far :he best that has yet been
given by the company. John I. Sullivan and
Miss May Buckley are doing especially excel

not very faf behind.
The pay is one that well merits seeing, and
the staging is much more artistic than one has
right to expect in house that plays at pop
ular prices. Altogether the Alcazar merits
the success it is beginning to meet with.
