Fred. Schadc is regarded as the local
champion, although in all OF his races lie
has ridden as a Nirginian, his place OF resi-
dcnCc being Herndun, Va. In considering
his record OF ten firSts and three seconds, it
should he remembered that Fred. Sims has
not been allowed to race the greater part
of the season. Up to the time of the Airing
ton meet, before which time Sims was
practically suspended, Schade had five
firStS, ami Sims the same number. Each
had two seconds at the same time, so IL is
an open question whether Schadc would
have won the championship If Sims had
been allowed to race the entire season.

This is the time of the year when wheel
men and whcelwomen, as well, Of course,
are looking over their SO cycles and Won
dering how much the manufacturers will
improve upon them. They are wonder
ing, too, how much cheaper wheels will he
next year, and how the much-herald'd d
chainless wheel is going to work Yet
these are all simple and easily answered
questions. A good bicycle, SO say the
manufacturers, may be purchased in 1897
for less than the price of similar wheel
this year. But the best grades will be
more expensive than ever. In fact, higher
class wheels are even ready now to be put
upon the market. They will Cost from
$125 to $150. These, however. will be
'sspecials." The 500 wheel next year
will be better machine than the same
priced bicycle OF 1896. There will be good
wheels. serviccable, easy running, light
and strong for $40, and they will per-
haps be the most in demand.
