Accidents Caused ~ Them.

A review or tho accidents occurring IN Juno
which wero due to tho use Of bicycles shows
plainly that cyclists, male and female, are bo-
coming moro skilful. Tho list of casualties for
the month is longer than that Of any other
month this year. but this may be accounted for
partly by the fact that the number Of riders has
increased rapidly since the season began. 1t
may be said that ono-quarter Of the miBhaps for
June were unavoidable. Tho others may be at
tributod to scorcbing, reckless driving and the
pure carelessness of the cyclists; as many acct
dents resulting from one as from the other OF
those three causes. Street cars have figured
conspicuously In tho list, and the fate OF wheel
men who have come to grief from cable cars
particularly should servo to make other riders
more cautious. Following is a sketch or last
months accidents In this city:

street car on the Boulevard and two girls on q
tandem run into him. upset, and receive several
