Neighborhood saloons are deserted at

their wheels. Suburban gardens where
there is dancing are not taking in the
cost of the music. The fact Is, the
cycle, does not drink intoxicants. Any
roadside or seaside inn-keeper will
say this. The cyclist, when he does
drink, calls for lager or soft stuff. There
are million people awheeI on any

hard to give the friction, or traction,
necessary for propulsion. BY means
Of lever operated by the hands of
the rider the pressure of the tire upon
the ice can be regulated, or if it is
desired to coast, the rear wheel can
be raised entirely from the surface,
throwing the weight upon the runners.
These runners are but few inches
apart. They resemble an exaggerated
long Dutch skate.
The front wheel does not revolve at
all. The runner Is fastened firmly to
it, not permitting 1t to touch the ice
Steering is accomplished in the or
binary manner with the handle bars
The break consists Of a number Of
sharp teeth or claws which are forced
into the ice, just in front Of the rear
wheel, between the two runners.
It Is not necessary to put the wheel
into motion before mounting. It
will stand by itself, and the rider can
come to full stop without getting off.
The ice cycier need not confine his
travels to frozen bodies Of water. He
can ride anywhere that good shedding

the Hamline track yesterday. The han
dicappers had done their work well in
most cases, and in the few cases where
it might have been urged that fast
men were given disproportionate ham
dicaps. the objection was lessened by
the closeness of the finishes.
There were no walk-aways. and few
side-trackings. The finish of the five
mile handicap race showed as pretty a
bunch when the leaders crossed the
tape as was ever seen on any bicycle
track. Out of the field of a score or
more, there were but two who were

There was some delay in getting the
programme started, but when it was

mile race for novices, with a field so
large that it was necessary to start
them in two heats. The first bunch
went off nicely, Fred Smith taking
the start from the tape and giving
way at the quarter to Salsman, of Min
neapolis. All were we'll together as
they strung around the circuit. and
when they came into the stretch, with
the wind at their backs, there was
some pretty speeding. Smith came
over the tape just ahead of Ned Noble
with James Harris and Albert H. Jones
qualifying for the final heat. The sec
ond bunch was even better, for it made
the fastest mile of the day in spite of
the strong wind which was full in the
