of the evening, as is their usual Gus
tom. The club expects to pull off it's
trial three-minute- race in about two
weeks. A gold medal has been put UP
for first prize. - -@r o. *o
The ST. Paul boys who attended the
Duluth ten-mile road race last Satur-
day report that they received the very
best of treatment at the hands Of the
Zenith city boys. Nevertheless, some
of them came home in very bad condi-
ton. Harry Green1ee, who was the
first st. Paul man started, rode out
four blocks and, striking the curb
sustained a terrific fall. He was
awarded eight bottles Of liniment, the
prize hung up for the worst used-up
man in the race.
Scratch men from ST. Paul were D.
F. Carmichael who won fine stop
watch as first time prize; George Sud-
heimer and |. T. Dugan, a trio of the
fastest amateurs in the Northwest.
With them started J. Todds and G..
Griebler, of Minneapolis.
On the rise in the street crossing
about four blocks from the starting
point J. Todds and George Sudheimer
fell simultaneously, breaking both
wheels, fracturing Todds' shoulder ard
using Sudheiner up so badly that he
was put out of the race.
Carmichiels time was 26:12. George
Sudheimer won a fine ham for show
ing UP the worst used-up wheel. J.
Zattler, a Duluth man, who was the
winning the BOBBY prize Of a bale Of
hay.
The continued cold weather is hav-
ing a very disastrous effect on the
cycle business. Dealers report both
sales and rentals slow and unsatisfac-
tory.
The Hamline race track is. dragged
every day to make it cushiony, and it
is therefore in good shape for cycles,
except when it is specially rolled, as
it is in the event of a race or field day
sports. "And them to quote one Of
the Jockeys, "the wheel guys soon Or
der a horse off the track, letting us
know for sure that it is a wheel day"
The Lexington track is in fine condi-
ton, and the coming race on the 18th
is eagerly anticipated by cycling en-
thuSiaStS.
James P Elmer, the railroad supply
contractor, who is an enthusiastic
member of the L. A. W., says that no
Western town can be compared at all
with our city in the matter of cycle
paths, good roads and the fair treat
ment in general accorded to wheel
men.
The L. A. w. run scheduled for
Thursday evening, did not take place
on account Of the rain.
People who have made collections
for the cycle path association fund are
expected to send in the cash at the
earliest possible moment as the North
ern Exchange bank has instructed H.
A. Strait to issue no more blue labels
If the name on the receipt is not also
on the banks list.
George Hallowel1, who has been very
ill, is now back and able to attend to
business again.
The question, "How do ladies mount
the diamond frame when no curbstone
or other convenient stepping place is
in eVidence?" has been asked by a
good many people who do not think.
Every diamond frame wheel is sup
posed to be provided with step, as it
is necessary for ladies riding diamond
frames to wear divided skirts or
blOomers, it is an easy matter to make
the step mount from the rear
The Saltwater Cycle club is now get
ting up subscriptions to build cycle
path from the Prison City to Lake
Elmo, and has written one of the Cycle
Path, association members for data in
regard to path building,
Frank Wheeler, of the Etna Life In
Surance company mourns the loss OF

from his Office on Wednesday and has
I mot yet been traced.
