aware but the snug craft rode the waves
easily and did not ship any water. The
distance covered by the Panku on that
trip is estimated to be 1888 miles
The entire time consumed by the trip
was l02 hours and 35 minutes The ac-
tual running time was 81 hours and so
minutes, during which the party got off
the right course several times and had to
turn back. Sea grass got tangled up on
the propeller at one time and it required
3 b. 40 NJ. to remove it. The little craft
also got aground and 5h l5m. was spent
in the unpleasant task of getting her off
shoal places. To prevent further trouble
with grass on the propeller the Panku
was rowed and pushed through Grassy
bay, consuming Sh. 15m. The time re
quired going ashore for provisions was
Sh., and during the trip the vessel was
at anchor Dob. 35m. The most delightful
part of the trip was when sailing on the
ocean, where the boat acted admirably
on the long swelIs.

Is the Act Invalid ?

There has been considerable discussion
among the cyclists of New Jersey as to the
Interpretation of the state law regulating
the powers of city and township authori-
ties to enforce bicycle ordinances, and it
is likely that Supreme court issue will
follow
1t is claimed that the local authorities
are powerless to enforce the provisions of
bicycle ordinance relative to the pay
ment of fine for 'scorching," riding on
the sidewalks or any other act inconsis-
tent with the ordinance. The basis for
the contention is on the provisions of the
act approved March 8, 1885, as follows:
First To provide that every violation OF
such ordinance shall render the offender sub
| ject to fine not exceeding IS for each offence,
and by such ordinance IL shall be provided
that the Justice OF Peace, judge Recorder or
over such offences in violation of such ordi-
nance, may impose such fine in his discretion
as he may think proper. not exceeding So for
each offence.
| No city, town, borough, village, township or
other municipality shall have any power to
make any ordinance, bylaw or regulation re-
specting the use of bicycles or tricycIes except
| as provided in this act; no ordinance, bylaw
or regulation heretofore or hereafter made by
other municipality in respect to bicycles or
tricycles shall have any force or effect.
All acts inconsistent with this act be and
the same are hereby repealed.
The cyclers advance the claim that, if
one of their number violates an ordinance
In any of the municipalities of the State
and refuses to pay the fine imposed the
authorities are, under the law, without
any prerogatives other than to dismiss
the prisoner, who cannot be imprisoned.
The bill was introduced by State Sena-
tor w. M. Johnson, who says it was an
oversight when the bill was framed.
An up-Jersey contemporary, in review
ing the question, has this to say
Don't, however, Jump at conclusions
hastily. Trouble may be easily invited
and quite as easily avoided. To see how
this Interpretation would work practically
let US suppose that cyclist is hauled up
for sume fragrant defiance of the local reg
ulation. His Honor would probably ina
pose fine and, in case of non-payment,
the offender would be committed to Jail.
He would be released on habeas corpus,
proceedings, of course, and the case would
be taken into the Supreme Court for ar
eument. Does anybody suppose for a
moment that the Court would uphold any
law prohibiting municipal governing
bodies from enforcing the payment of
fines intended to suppress scorching, ETC.
There are two sides to some questions
there may be to this"
