The day for the next national assembly
is rapidly drawing near, and as yet there
has been no definite understanding as to
who shall head the l.. A. W. next season.
Sterling Elliott will be candidate for Ie-
election and Isaac b. Potter will not be
a competitor. But during the last few
weeks the name of a well-known L. a W.
member has been proposed which has met
with unanimous favor. He Is none other
than Charles F. Cossum, OF Poughkerpsie,
a gentleman who has been identified with
the L. A. W. for many years, and upon
whose integrity the L. \. W. has relied
in the past. The State delegates cannot be
induced TO throw their support to Elliott.
but agree upon COssum. Under such Cir
cumstances it looks as though the Pough-
keepsie man will get the office.

| \ useful article that will be put on the
market is an automatic chain lubricator
that is attached by spring placed around
the axle, between the sprocket wheel and
crank. The body of the lubricator contains
a pad wick, or ribbon, which is saturated
with an emulsion, and sets between two
teeth OF the large sprocket wheel. As the
chain revolves enough of the emulsion is
deposited between the rivets of the chain
to keep it in easy running condition. 1t is
said that the lubricator will run 500 miles
without refilling, and also to have given
satisfaction to riders who have tcstedit.

IN THE WHEELING WORLD.

A new bicycle, designed by well known
American maker, has the seat post tube
pitched but slightly from the perpendicular:
the frame is heightened to give the correct
distance between handle-bar and saddle; a
long wheel base results, and the pedal at the
load point is equally distant from the hubs of
the front and rear whcels.N The rider sits
almost directly overthe crank bearing. The
inventor believes that this construction
equalizes all strains, and will greatly facii-
tate steering. The rider can comfortably sit
in the erect position only. The machine was
built as an experiment, and is being sub
jected to repeated tests by practical road
riders. II the trials prove satisfactory the
machine will be marketed.

There is strong probability that the
question Of Sunday bicycle racing will lie
solved by allowing the various L. A. W.
State organizations TO enbody in their re-
spective constitutions amendments permit
ting such an innovation Throughout the
Eastern States there is a strong feeling of
opposition to Sunday y sportsof any sort, but
Western men claim that it is impossible TO
draw large crowds to race meets, unless
they are heldonSunday, as are many other
amusements in that section. twill be ar
gued that by yallowingeac State to form its
own rules in this respect, the interests Of
none will be injured.
