THE CYCLIST.

Night bicycle meets are very popular
n Philadelphia, which leads the coun.
try in cycling affairs.
In Pisa, Italy, two lamps are re-
luired for every cycle, and after dark a
machine without light may not even be
walked through the town.
More than 1000 bicycles have been
stolen in Philadelphia within the past
IL months. 1t is almost impossible to
talk the bicycle thief. 1t is necessary
1T times for the rider to leave his wheel
lnguarded, and in one second the thief
can mount it and ride away.
Chimes of bells are fad which is
being adopted by Gotham bicyclists

keeps them constantly a-ringing, Civ
ing the approach of the bicyclist mu
steal heralding. The gong upon the
handlebar is to be dispensed with.
The bicycle has brought a new per-
sonality into view-the cycling groom
in the livery of his employer, pedaling
along in proud attendance upon some
girl or child Sometimes he is colored
man, sometimes a trim, smugfaeed and
clean-shaven seryitor Of the familiar
type of English coachman or footn an.

binary riding involves no strain what
ever.
One of the latest developed fool
tricks in cycling is for the rider to get
beside moving trolley car, holding on
to the side, and thus move with the car.
The dangers of cycling are doubled by
this trick and absolutely nothing is
gained-except to show that the rider
is fool. The biggest fool OF all, how
ever, is the one who rides with his
hands in his pockets. But he gets ar

land. Then came the time when the
country produced a few architects OF
commanding ability who were enabled
to impress upon our architecture the
personal element of our individual
style. The mist marked instance of
this is the case of Richardson, who gave
vogue to the Romanesque style, not
only in bis own strong and superb ex-
amples, but through countless imita-
tors. in many ways this was fitted to
the peculiar conditions that are found
in America, and the result is distinc,
lively pleasing as whole, and gain
from the aesthetic standpoint.
The latest tendency, however, seems
to promise more than any that has
gone before. This is the growth of the
classic movement, with it's admirable
proportions, its chaste simplicity, and
its beauty of profile. Its foremost mer
it for Americans is that it prohibits
offense in the line where we are apt
to sin-over ornamentation-the cry
ing evil of the architectural styles that
have preceded i.
The careful observer who studies the
new business buildings in the large
cities cannct but be impressed by the
general adoption of the classic style.
