! the crank shaft Is going around 1t strikes
! the cord and rubs it, but the most trouble
! is caused, In a majority of instances, by the
heel OF the boot of the rider, rubbing against
the lacing, caused by pedaling with the toe
pointing away from the bicycle. This can
| be remedied The toe should be on a parallel
with the machine. and IL this is followed the
heel will easily clear the lacing If any
difficulty Is experienced in this 1t Is sug-
gested that some insulated wire be secured
and used at the chain guard in place Of the
lacing cord. Do not pull tho wire too tight.
as 1t is apt to make the guards strike against
the chain and produce a disccmforting noise.
III trouble is experienced with the other lac
| ing the wire can also be used. The insula-
ton is colored a good deal like lacng cord,
and one could not tell the difference by look
Ing at 1t, though in the matter of wear the
superiority OF one over the other is very
apparent. The wire can be secured In any
size, but that equal in diameter to the kind
Of wire used In wrapping broomq will answer
the purpose. The wire can be secured at
any hardware store or electrician, and will
cost little more than the cord lacng.
The park commissioners of New York and
Brooklyn have formulated a set of rules to
be observed by bicycle riders. The new
rules require that the bicycle and other
vehicles shall carry lamps showing white
ahead from thirty minutes after sunset until
thirty minutes before sunrise. All the rules
right on meeting and passing to the left
Riding on the paths through the park Is
prohibited, but wheelmen walking may push
their wheels along the paths
Cyclists must not coast in the park or on
the Coney Island path nor will they be per-
mitted to ride hands off.
Bicycles must be provided with bells, not
to exceed two and one-half inches in dame
ter.
The use of Chinese lanters is positively
prohibited, except in parades, and then a
special permit must be obtained.
Gongs and lanterns with red or other col
ored lights shall not be used
1t is estimated that there are now 10000
tandem riders in New ork, and many dealers
think that before the summer IS over there
will be twice that number. Nearly every
firm has many orders booked for 1897 tan
GenS and all the factories are paying par
ticular attention to this branch of the
business.
The majority of the tandems ordered are
Of the double diamond frame model. Fre-
quently the customer volunteers the nfor-
nation that he buys the machine in order
that his wife may accompany him on his
long rides, and that as she intends wearing
a divided skirt he thinks the double diamond
frame preferable.

DISCUSSION OF SHORTER HOURS.
Difference of Opinion to Its Adj
XisnbiIity at Fall RiNer.

Difference of Opinion as to Its Adj
visibility at Fall River.
FALL RIVER, March 20.-The agitation
over the proposed reduction in hours of labor
of mill employees is very strong here at pres
ent, both for and against the movement. A
statement of Secretary Howars of the spin
ners' union that competition OF southern
manufacturers would not be enhanced by the
adoption of shorter houls in this section is
met by declaration by one of the most
prominent manufacturers that in spite of the
strong efforts made in New England to i'm
prove trade conditions by a reduction of
stock, the curtailed production has been more
increased production of the south. 1t is
pointed out that in a period of about three
and one-half years the mills of Fall River
have been closed six months on an aver
age.
Taking the pay rolls Of the mills stopped for
a period, loss in wages of something like
"a, 100 900 is shown. The losses to the mills
by fixed expenses, whether mills run or stop,
would be somsthing like $4,000 900 more or
a total absolute loss to date of over 81 900 900.
For this enormous sacrifice Ii Is asserted
no corresponding benefit has accrued, but
southern competitors have run full time and
filled up the vacuum northern manufacturers
have been trying to create. Fall River mill
owners state that it can be proven beyond
question that the southern mills producing
the same fabrics as those made in this city
are making satisfactory profits at present
market prices. Their taxes are merely nom
inal; fuel in many cases Is half it's cost here
the hours OF work range from sixty-six TO
seyenty-two hours weekly, and labor will
average 40 pen cent less.

time prize In the coming Decoration day
road race, while Treasurer Derlght will give
$50 in cash for the same purpose, but like
Mr.. Russell's offer Of the gold bricks, these
donations have strings on them, and the
winner must ride one of the wheels for which
the donors are agents. 1t is quite likely
that the road race committee Will refuse to
accept donations of this kind.
The appointment OF Albert Mott to the
important position of chairman OF the racing
board Of the League of American Wheelmen
gives general satisfaction. Mr.. Mott is not
unknown In the cycling world, having had
much to do with the affairs OF the league for
years. Racing has always attracted Mr..
Mott, and next to Mr.. Gideon. the retiring
chairman. he is probably one OF the best in
formed men on the details OF the sport in
this country. Baltimore is Mr.. Motifs home,
and that city is regarded as a very good
location for one holding the important POSI-
tion to which President Potter has seen fit
to appoint him
Frank p. Prial. the we'll known cycling
critic of New York says there Is every lndi-
cation that the coming season will see a
still greater increase in the number of women
riders. Women who began riding last season
are as enthusiastic to begin to ride again
as they were when the stopped late In the
fall The few remaining husbands and faith
ers and big brothers. who held to the old
fashioned idea that cycling. for some unac-
countable reason, such as the masculine brain
delights In when women are concerned, was
unwomanly, have been besieged and beset
until in many cases they have capitulated
and bought the desired bicycle, probably con-
soling themselves for the outlay with the
thought that the money expended would be
saved in summer silks and laces.
The number OF machines exhibited at the
big cycle shows has always been a source
of speculation among agents and manufac-
turers. Invariably the number is overes-
timated The official figures for the four
largest shows In this country this season are
as follows:

The University of Nebraska is TO have a

only waiting for a pleasant day when they
will begin work on the campus. They have
played in Omaha for several seasons with

whisperinws of the wheel

The location of the Transmississippi Ex-
position on the old fair grounds site will
deprive Omaha CT the only good half-mile
bicycle track it has ever had, and not only
this, but local speed merchants will be COM
PEELED to hunt for new training quarters.
For the past ten years or longer the old fair
grounds track has been used by the local
racing men to train on, and nearly all of
the important bicycle race meets held in the
city during that time have taken place on
this track AS training track it has always
been good one. and favorite among the
racing men on account of its fine clay sur
face, which, after heavy rain was always
left as smooth as a floor, and when in proper
shape there was no faster dirt track in the
country than this same old horse track.
During the season of 1896 1t was not an un-
common thing for the racing men who were
training on this track to turn quarters in
twenty-six seconds, halves in ffty-six to
ifty-eight, and miles In less than two
minutes. More state records have been
made upon it than all of the other dirt
! tracks in the state combined, which goes to
prove that 1t is an exceptionally fast track.
Local wheslmen had hoped that the owners
of the track would confne it's use strictly to
wheelmen and keep 1t in first-class condition
for training and racing purposes during the
coming season, but now that the exposition
will be located upon the site their hopes are
blasted and they will have to hunt other
fields.

report says that VIII Tedford and Jake Ted
ford were instantly killed by a saloonist and
two others, whose names could not be

arose over game OF cards. The corre-
spondent does not vouch for the truth OF
the story, but only has the Information from

Close upon the announcement that the old
fair grounds track will be torn up, comes
the news that Charlie Thomas, the foot ball
coach and bicycle trainer, will have the
and Miami streets during the coming season
and that 1t Is his intention TO have a first
class quartermile bicycle track built upon
the grounds. This will be good news to the
racing men as well as to the local bicycle
enthusiasts who have been feeling somewhat
blue over the loss Of the fair grounds track.
University park is nearly a mile closer to
the heart of the city than the old fair
grounds, which will make it somewhat
easier OF access, and while the track will be
small it will be properly banked so that fast
time can be made upon it. So far Manager
Thomas plans are emGryotjc and it will
probably be some time before active work
on the track is commenced.

After paying all expenses of the late
bicycle show the Omaha Bicycle Board of
Trade finds itself few hundred dollars
ahead on the project, and just al present is
trying to devise some means of properly dis
posing of the spoils, A few of the members
are in favor of dividing the money up, but
the majority are against this and seem to be
in favor of using the money to maintain a
tirst-class union riding school, to be used
jointly by members of the board. Treasurer
Deright favors using the money to help
build bicycle path, secure the
state meet the coming year, build a
track or something of this sort. In regard
TO the matter, Mr.. Derght said; "As we get
our money from the wheelmen and more than
enough of it to conduct the bicycle show
think that the balance should be returned to
them in some way. Omaha is badly in need
Of a one third mile bicycle track, and my
idea would be to form a stock company and
for the Cycle Board Of Trade to start it by
investing the bicycle show profits in stock,
This is the only way we can ever get good
track, and / am heartily in favor of the
plan" President Nickel favors using the
money for the purpose of conducting a riding
school, etc. The board will meet sometime
during the coming week to decide the matter.

offers 800 bicycle to the winner of first or
