The Germans Go on Record AEainst
Cycling.

Cycling.
Chicago. April 2I.--Chicago Germans
went on record last evening as being
opposed TO bicycle riding. Up to this
time the wheel has reigned supreme in
] their ranks, as elsewhere with nobody
to say nay. but now the spell has been
broken. The men who refused to sane
ton pedaling as an exercise are all In
touch with prominent athletic societies,
and their action was taken only after
careful consideration It was the
twenty-hfth annual meeting of what
Is known rs the Indiana division In
Turn Verein circles. This section In
cludes representatives OF the principal
German athletic societies of Chicago.
Besides these there are two Louisville
societies and a number OF Indiana or
ganizations. All were represented by
delegates who, after one OF the most
spirited debates In the history of the
district, refused TO commend 10 the ma
tional convention, which meets in
Louisville June 81. that prizes be given
for bicycle riding as well as for other
kinds OF athletic eports,
Thus the two wheeled vehicles stand
alone as an outcast from the Turner'S
rank. for scarcely any other sort OF ma
chine used for exercising purposes has
been put under the ban by the Ger
mans. Prizes are offered for excellency
In almost everything which brings into
play the muscles
A distinct issue was made before the
matter was voted upon. This was
whether or not the wheel was conducive
to health. A number of speakers
argued that 1t was not. They asserted
that II enervRtcd the system. and most
Of all. that II made the body crooked
and caused stopping shoulders and
spine.
One Of the principal objects OF the
orFangation. they said, was to make
the body straight aud perfect In every
particular. '4is VI
The advocates OF bicycling had nm
inning. They cited the out-of-door fea-
ture OF the sport and It's increasing
popularity. but their arguments awaited
them nothing. When II came TO vote
the proposition was defeated by sub
etantiai majority.
Friends OF the safety got but little
consolation out 81 compromise which
they effected hfterward but which
hardly mltignted the force OF the blow
which they hal received.
This was the pasaage OF a resolution
to the efiect that an exhibition OF
bicycle riding shall be given in the
near future. ] was expressly stipu-
lated, however. that no prizes shall be
awarded and that the only point
to be considered IL grace In personal
