CHAINLESS BIKE.
Will ReYOIutiORize the Cycle
Trade.
A BeYel Gear Run 3, 300 Niles
Without Wear
A PERFECT SUCCESS.
Some Remarkable Records Made
By It Ia Europe.
Other Sporting News of Gen
eraI Nature.
PERFECT SUCCESS.

New York, Sept 11--AIechanicaI en-
gfneers outside Of the bicycle trade have
long recognized the fact that a chain
and sprocket are theoretically the poor
est method Of transmitting power, and
have wondered that a further advance
ment has not been made by those who
devote their ingenuity to bicycle perfec-
ton in the line Of obviating the waste
of power occurring through this sort Of
gearing. Riders have realized it en-
phaucally through their trouble with
chains stretching and breaking, rust
ing from dampness, clOgging from dust
and cIinking and Whizzing annOyingly.
The problem has been solved by the
patent of a chainless bicycle operated
by bevel gears
Several of its experimental machines
have been running about Hartford for
a considerable time. As the new gears
did not differ in OutwOrd appearance
from the beveI gears already in use
and were concealed in gear cases they
attracted no attention, and they did NOT
betray the secret It is said that one
of the gears has been run $500 miles
without wear or TeadjuStment, and
that several Of the more recently con
structed ones have been tested over
2, eco miles of the toughest road without
mishap and without a sign of wear on
the gears or need of adjustment IN
deed the records OF many chainless ma
chimes are said to show no breazage of
gears or appreciate wear, even when
the distance covered has been upward
of 5000 miles
The usual crank shaft carries, instead
of the ordinary large sprOcket, a bev-
eIled gear of suitable size, meshing with
which is q smaller gear, the shaft OF
which eithe passes through or
over the right rear fork; the rear end
of this shaft carries another small gear
which meshes into a corresponding gear
on the rear hub, instead of the usual
rear sprOcket. At each end this shaft
is carried on ball bearings, which are
arranged in such way that wear can
be taken up without affecting the mesh
ing of the gears. The bearings for the
hub and crank are of the usual form.
Once adjusted there is seldom occasion
to change and when necessary it can
be done as readily as with any simple
bearing.
During the past year the chainIess
type of bicycle has received much at
tention in Europe. and some remarka-
bic records are credited to it, notable
among which is that of CASTOR Rivierre
in the famous Boil dor race in Paris
August 8, when he rode 534 miles in "A
hours. No such record could have been
made by a man nearly so years old on
any other only a perfect running ma
chine. Other long distance races have
also recently been won on beveI gear
