NEW YORK. Sept. 25.-Cycle racing

Welsh champion, and Lucien Lesna,
the Swiss rider who holds he French

advantage of having the best pace

best pacemakers. Lesna's seXtupets
seemed to be too unwieldy for fast pac-

contestants lined up the little Welsh

EXPLANATION is THE ROADS IN
ABILITY TO SECURE ANY
SHARE OF TRAFFIC.
SHIPPERS
COMMISSIONS TO
Alleged to Be the Reason the other
Lines Are Getting This
Business.

The Wisconsin Central people have
somewhat surprised their competitors
by serving notice that, effective tolnor-
row, they will put in a proportional
tariff on grapes in carloads from Chi
cago, Milwaukee and ManitoWoc to st.
Paul and Minneapolis of IL cents per
100 pounds. By way Of explanation Of
this step the officials say they are led
to it by their inability to secure any
share of the traffic owing 20 the action
Of competing lines out of Chicago,
which are offering commissions TO ship
pers. The officials further explain that
the amount of the reduction made from
the current tariff is measured by the
amount of the commissions which have
been offered So far as the grape rate
is. l0nct tIled il doesn't amount to much
N point of business, but It IS al irdi-
cation of what may be expected on
other kinds of freight.

MECHANISM OF MUNRO CHAINLEss BICYCLE

crank there is gain of three inches
actual leverage over the present mod
els
With very little trouble the pinions
can be changed (knoWn as changing
the gear) so as to convert the wheel
from a racer to road wheel.
Another special feature is that the
wheel base, or distance between the
points of contact with the ground, is
eight to ten inches shorter than in the
chain-geared bicycle, which is an ad-
vantage in making short turns.
The rider sits directly over the rear
wheel, the saddle being changed at will,
as in all bicycies-although the position
will be identical with that assumed on
the ordinary Safety" and one would
not feel the difference between riding
OF this and a chain-driven wheel.
It presents a symmetrical appear
ance, the machine looking the same on
both sides, as the gearing is construct
ed in combination with the pedal
cranks on each side. This will also as
sist in giving a more perfect balance.
The weight will not exceed twenty
four pounds. All bearings are either
roller-or ball-bearings, so as to mini
mize friction. The gearing and bear
ings are enclosed in dust-proof shields.
In conversation with Mr.. Munro, he
stated that he believed that the price
of one of his wheels made up in first
class style would probably be $125 to
$3.50. He has been offered large finan-
cial backing, but declined to state the
amount for publication.
All wheelmen who have seen MI.
Munro's design are convinced of its
superiority; among them E A. Moross,
the Michigan Wonder" has his money
waiting to buy the first wheel on the
market Mr. Munro will have few
models made on the completion of his
detail drawings
The accompanying cut was made
from tracings furnished by the design

HERE'S A CHAINLEss BICYCLE.
It's Inventor Claims Development of
Speed of a Mile 81 Minute.

American wheel manufacturers no
longer seek novelties in chainless
wheels in European countries. Home
talent is giving the subject it's best
thought and a Detroit man believes
that he has found a satisfactory solu-
tion Of the problem.
The new wheel promises to be very
speedy and it's inventor claims that
by it's aid the mile in one minute VIII
be an accomplished fact.
The inventor, George K. Munro Jr-,
of III Milwaukee avenue, is a pattern
maker and draughtsman by trade. He
has been connected with various shops,
having for four years held the position
of foreman OF the pattern shop of the
Detroit Electrical works, till they smut
down.
While working at his trade, making
a set of patterns for shaping machine,
the idea for his chainlesS bicycle oc-
Cured to him; namely, the application
of the principle Of the motion OF the
Shaper.
To all mechanics who understand the
motion the idea will be perfectly clear.
The general plan OF the driving me-
chanism is that of an internal gear
combined with compound cranks. The
internal gear has a projecting arm
which contains a slot in combination
with the pedal cranks.
The tremendous gain in crank power
is more than sufficient to compensate
for the slight increase of friction in the
toothed gear over that in chain gear
ing.
The greatest advantage is that while
transmitting the power to the pedal

SEBASTIAN TICKET FORM.
Western Roads Have About Decided
to Adopt 1t.

to Adopt 1t.
CHICAGO, Sept 25.-The Western
roads sl:ent large portion Of the day
in consideration Of the inter ,langea BILE
mileage ticket. They have about con-
Guided that the best form of ticket for
them to adopt is the Sebastian ticket,
invented by General Passenger Agent
Sebas stian, of the Rock Island road.
This form of ticket will be for 9. time
used alongside of the regular enc
thousand mile ticket until it has been
determined just how it works, and if
everything is then satisfac+ by, ihe reg
ular thousand-mile tickets will be
withdrawn and the Sebastian ticket
used exclusively for the interchange
able mileage on the roads Of the West
ern Passenger association. The pur
chaser of the Sebastian ticket is not
compelled 10 buy all of his mileage in
/, lump sum. but is furnished with
cover which he presents to the ticket
agent, paying for as much mileage as
he desires. a certificate is then handed
him which he gives to the conductor,
who turns it in to the mileage bureau,
which will act as a clearing house and
settlements will be made between all
Of the roads at regular intervals.
The Western roads are hopeful that
the arrangement which Chairman
Caldwell made in New York few days
since, will go far toward settling all
the troubles they have, for SO long a
time, been having with the immigrant
agents They will now do their busi-
ness directly with the steamship COM
panies, and Immigrant agents, who
have been acting as middlemen, will
be frozen out. The Western roads
have for years tried working with the
immigrant agents, and say that the
work has never been satisfactory.

connections. It's function has been and is
to connect various local telephone systems all
over the country.
But this long-distance company cannot do
business between two towns within the terri
tory allotted to a local company. For instance
the long distance telephone company, which
is established in Minneapolis, can transact
business between that city and Eau Claire,
WIS. or between Saltwater and Eau Claire,
but not between Minneapolis and Saltwater
because both Of these towns are within the
territory controlled by the Northwestern
Telephone Exchange company.
In seeking an entrance to st. Paul for the
purpose OF establishing long distance con-
nection. the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company asks for franchise, and here
is where the shoe pinches Mr.. Albrecht and
other aldermen. They want the city to have
the unquestionable advantage of telephone
connections with all the principal cities of
the country, but they don't see why the long
distance company should have local fran
ch:se. II this is granted Mr.. Albrecht wants
a provision inserted in the ordinance making
it obligatory upon the long distance telephone
company to extend to any other company that
may establish a local exchange in st. Paul
the same privileges as are extended by it
to the Northwestern Exchange company.
The long distance telephone company draws
the line here. 1t refuses to furnish future
competitors with the means of doing business.
It's representatives have declared before the
assembly committee that the company wanted
a franchise to do local business merely to
protect itself. simply to enable it to be en-
tirely independent of any other company, in
Guiding the Northwestern Telephone Ex-
change. In other words. the long distance
telephone company wants to be placed in
position where 1t can hold a club over the
Northwestern company in case the latter
should conclude not to do business with the
former.
The representatives of the long distance
telephone company declare that in all the
cities from the Atlantic seaboard to the
Missouri from which they have obtained
franchises, they have never availed them
selves of their privilege to do local bust
ness They ask for the right simply for
have tbe eeery tn
has granted the desired franchise.
An important adjunct of the g-distance
telephone system is the subscribers direc-
tory. This book contains the names Of
every subscriber in the country. At present
no ST. Paul business houses or ether insti-
tutions appear ON the list. Minneapolis is
well represented in the directory.

Being used to travel on skis from
childhood on in their native country,
they are confident of success in cross

more convenient. Both Schilling and
Mosheim are of magnificent build,
strong as the vikings of old, and they
look forward to the trip with keen
pleasure, hoping it will bring them
