The racing men who follow the national
circuit have requested that an Official
Handicapped be specially deputed to go the
rounds. The racing board has the matter
under advisement. Last year the circuit
riders were handicapped by different man
at almost every meet, and the mark origi-
nally allotted to Il competitor sometimes
remained unaltcrcd for weeks. 1t is re-
corded that one man in the circuit last year
was placed on the 35-yard mark for one
month in one-mile handicap races. although
he has repeatedly failed to score from the
mark. Racing men assert that in the West
the Handicapped is not sufficiently con-
yersant with the form of the men coming
on from the East.

The latest invention in the bicycle line

wheeImen ordinarily ride. But attached
% the front of the frame is n large tank
containing Il gallon of gasoline, and i'm
metiiately below is power lamp.
The two are conected by means of
cylinders. The lamp is lighted and the
gasoline consumed. A mixture of the
gases generated and air produce combus
ion. and this furnishes the motive power.
While the wheel may be made to run at
the rate Of fifty milcsan hour. il may also be
regulated to go SO slowly that one may
walk l the side of it..
The rider sits upon the saddle ard pla Ces
his feet upon stationary pedals. He has then
merely ' to guide the wheel by means of the
handle bar. and should the wheel fail it i'm
mcdiately stops. The inventor claims that
injury is Impossible with ordinary care. An
explosion is out of the question, according
20 the same authority.
Hundreds of these wheels are in use in
Germany and France. and the military au-
thorities of both countries have favorably
considered their use.
The wheel weighs 1870 pounds. Il may
be run about 300 miles at a cost OF 20
cents. The cost of such i wheel 10 the rider

Frank II. Mason, United States consul
general at Frankfort-On-the-Main has sent
an interesting report to the State Depart
ment about the chances afforded for open
ing a market for American bicycles in Ger
many. American bicycles and machines
of any sort for women were practically
unknown in the German empire until last
summer, when a large number of american
cyclists, male and female, made tours
through picturesque localities.
The German dealers began to give more
attention to American wheels when a cyclist
won race on an ordinary stock bicycle
made by a firm having its mandatory at
Hartford, Conn, and now they are anxious
to handle machines made in this country.
Mr.. Mason says it must not be supposed
that no bicycles are manufactured in Ger
many, as score OF firms are engaged in the
business. The English, German and other
foreign wheels sold in the empire are rather
cumbersom
Oae Westphalian firm has succeeded in
getting the weight of its machines down to
twenty-six pounds by importing wooden
inner rims and other ma terial from America
Mr.. Mason suggests that if American manu-
facturers wish TO compete in the German
market they send wheels between twenty
one and twenty-five pounds with brakes
aud all other accessories.

Rally at the Close

New YORK, Jan. THE stock market
today was nervous and evidence was
pretty clear of support by powerful
financial in erests. There was also ac-
tive covering movement of large dmen-
sons. The influences operating upon
the speculation were not changed in
any material degree. Reports of re-
newed disturbances, both political ami
financial, in Europe in the lower prices of
our securities in London gave tone to the
local opening. Accordingly the market
started in ac i've and heavy. Runors of
probable exports of gold by Wednesdays s
steamer, continued discussion of the gov
eminent call and the probable develop
nents incident thereto, predictions of tight
money and liquidation Of investment rail-
road bonds for LEGAL and foreign account
were all taken into account, but it was
soon patent to experienced observers
that sti ong hands we're under the market.
No loan certificates were applied for by
any Of the New York banks, and money on
call at the stock exchange did not exceed
the legal rate and eventually was offered
freely at per cant. The engagements of
gold for shipment by the midweek ste 'mer.
though fai.ly large, aggresating S2,735,-
900, fell snort of extreme esim ties.
