WONDERS OF THE WHEEL.
Popularity OF the Safety During the
Past Five Ye8rs

Cycling is now an extremely popular pas
time. Nobody disputes this fact. for II is
plainly illustrated on every hand. How
long since the people OF this country com
binrd to make cycling the popular Sport :
1t is now a little over five years since the
safety began to meet the public approval.
The Old rders men w no were wont To cover
twenty or thirty miles day on the bone
shakers which outlived their usefulness
ten years ago. lock back on those days with
tender memories and with some wonder
ment. for they have watched the evO!ut ion
OF the bicycle. and can scarcely COmDre-
hend that such a marvellous change has
taken place within so short a space o time.
When the ordinary was discarded as
an antique relic. and homage went the
way OF the delicate lined and easy run
ming safety. il marked the beginning OF
an epoch the end of which is dim in
the future that few care TO conjecture
on the possibilities of this machine. Nine
years has brought the sport into repule. five
years has seen the development and retire
mcnt or racing champions. five years has
seen the popular paStime prove its CON
elusive prac,icahility. In that brief period
wonders have been developed. The safety
when first produced was as unwieldy as an
ice wagon. Today il is tie pride of the
mechanics heart. for mechanical principles
and ideas have been incorporated in the
bicycle of today that make il an object OF
sincere admiration. Looked upon as a
fad by the pcssimists. ii has out grown this
theory. for the bicycle is practical and SO
testified to by n lOusands and thousands OF
lRbortng people in this country. who are
keeping their small earnings from being
engulfcd by the street railway companies.

tf the general display of saddles was the
congiction that the ideal bicycle saddle has
not yet been given to the public.

BRADY BACKING THE SCHEME
Pugili~ts and Managers Planning to
Pull Off the Mill Bet ween Fitz and
Corbett on he Rolling gDeep-Brady's
Idea of How the Craft to Fight on
Should BE Built.

New York, March I'm their efforts to
find "A place where the heavyweight pu-
gilists may meet prize fight promoters have
discovered that on the high seas is about
the only location left for them. Maritime
lawyers OF estab b.isiied reputation have been
asked for opinions. They have answered
that no United States law exists to prevent
prize fights at SEA. TIE captain or the
vessel on which the fight might Occur would
be the only man on earth who would
have power TO stOpit.
sCHEMING FOR A MILL
So the .'pugs' and their managers are
already scheminE TO pull OFF, mill on
the ocean. To demonstrate the practioa-
bility OF the scheme and his confidence in
it, william a Brady, manager of James
j. Corhctt, has gone to considerable cx-
pensc. He has paid for the opinions OF
eminent maritime lawyers, and has con
suited shiphuilders with a view TO ascer-
tain If vessel could be built at not too
great cost that could be taken To sea with
safety, and on which fight might be had.
NOW said Brady, yesterday, there
Is no reason in the world why cOrbett
and FitZsimnoGs could not meet in the
ring. Ny proposition j. TO build a vessel
expressly for fighting purposes. She need
not be very large. and the cost need not
keel like other seagoing craft. but her deck
would reach far out over both sides of the
hull.
OBJECTIONS ARE MADE.
The only objection l have heard against
the Ideals that the roll of the vessel might in-
terfere with he fighters. There are two
ways Of reducing the roll so that it would
be almost imperceptible. One is to have
the platform rest upon well-balanced springs
so that II would remain on a perfect level.
no matter how much the craft was ossed
by the motion of he sea: the second is to
select for the fight one OF the many days
when the Atlantic is as smooth as river.
MY proposal is that a club be formed
which shall offer a purse for fight between
Corbett and Fitzsimmons. build the boat,
take it to sea and derive whatever profit
may accrue. The club could easily accom-
modate l 900 spectators at $50 each. The
ship could De taken Beyond the three-mile
