the new Postoffice should be begun, at

last month ecIipsed all past performances
in road racing, when he covered 100
miles in 4h. l6m. 35s.
There seems to be no end to the adj
vance in cycling. New things are COM
ing up continually to induce comfort, al
lay fatigue and increase speed. 1t is
speed, however. that the enthusiastic
wheelmen most long for, and the ingcn-
ous French riders are now filling their
tires with coal gas in place OF air, with
the magic result Of making the wheel SO
buoyant that it fairly flies over the road
with the least possible excrion, increas-
ing the speed five miles an hour. The
scheme seems as practicable as it is de-
lightful but it has not as yet been given
a very long trial. Probably the racers
will adopt it, as il will be greatly to their
advantage.
