CYCLING CHAT.

ThomasvilIe, Ca, shows a disposition to
secure the next annual national meet.
The Canadian Wheelmen's association
will apply for the worlds championship
races for 1898.
The legislature Of Kansas will soon, 1t is
said, make crusade against wheelwomen
by prohibiting the wearing Of bloomers.
Tom Cooper, the we'll known racer, Is
about to go to California, where he will
get into condition for the coming season.
The business on the first days meeting
of the national assembly will be devoted
almost entirely to the subject of good
roads.
Frank Waller's record Of 8 hours SO min
utes IA seconds for 100 miles professional,
paced, flying start, made at Memphis
last November, has been accepted by the
L. A. w.
Jacquelin, the French cyclist who won
the prize bracelet, valued at 1900 francs,
Is compelled to wear 1t at all times and
must always be ready to defend it at the
shortest notice.
Sterling Elliott of the L. A. w. recent
ly sent to the delegates Of the state division
ballots which must be filled out designat-
ing the choice Of the delegates for the place
for the national meet.

New Electric Cycle Lamp.

An ingenious but complicated contriv-
ance for lighting the way of the benighted
cycler has just been patented. 1t is an
electric lamp constructed upon principle
never before applied to such purpose. The
lamp is supplied with electricity produced
by a generator attsShed to the rear fork,
with an armature rSvolved by band run
ming from grooved wheel on the rear hub
II Is oontended by the inventor that when
going at moderate speed light Of normal
candle power is produced and, Of course,
the faster the rider pedals the more light
he will generate The principal advantage
of this lamp over other electric lamps Is
that 1t has no battery and Is therefore not
90 heavy or clumsy as the other electric
apparatus. 1t is claimed that only bulb
would be needed on the head of the wheel
connected with the generator by fine
wire.
This looks simple, but 1t Is doubtful II
the generator will be easily kept In proper
working order. The utility OF the inven.
ton will be put to practical test, however,
and IL the inventors claims for It are veri'
fed 1t will undoubtedly become popular.

Hopper and Chimmie Fadden.

Chimmie Fadden, like the happening
Of many other fortunate things, got into a
play by accident Mr.. Charles Hopper,
who has been before the public for quite a
long while, and who was known as q
comedian Of versatile talent, bad never
seemed to hit exactly the right thing for
himself He had played German and Irish
characters, and had sung and danced and
starred In farce and melodrama. Summer
before last he was In the Lambs club,
New York, and was seated at q table
scratching his head over q manuscript be-
fore him. On the other side of the table
sat Augustus Thomas Mr.. Thomas asked
him the cause Of bis trouble, and Mr..
Hopper explained that he thought there
was material for q good play In the work
before him, "The Vale Of Avoca," but 1t
needed an expert hand to put 1t into shape.
Mr.. Thomas observed that he did not think
there was much show for plays Of the type
of "The Vale of Avoca," but he was sure
there was good play latent In the Chin
mis Fadden sketches of Mr.. Edward
Townsend. The attention of Mr.. Hopper
was aroused, more talk followed, and the
two went up to see Mr.. Townsend. The
result was the play in which Mr.. Hopper
has made the hit of his life.

The rate of speed at which bicycle ir
travelling may be easily determined by q
very simple method. Each bicycle has a
basis of time upon which an estimate OF
miles per hour may be accurately made by
counting the revolutions Of the pedals
which occur within this period. In such
an estimate each revolution represents
mile. To obtain this basis of time multi
ply the gear of the wheel by 5 and divide
the product by 80. For instance, take %
gear Multiplying that by 8 gives $40,
which, divided by 80, Is approximately
1871. Then IL the pedals make 10 revolu-
tions I'm 12 seconds the speed per hour Is
very nearly 10 miles, or, IL the number OF
revolutions be 20, then the rider Is going
at the rate of 20 miles per hour.

for the Montreal Bicycle club Of Montreal

came into life In December OF that year,
while the Boston Bicycle club was organ
lied In February of tho same year, and the
Suffolk Bicycle club, also of Boston; the
Bangor Bicycle club of Bangor, Me-, ana
the San Francisco Bicycle club, the latter
founded Nov 80, 1878, all antedated the
