ROT!I'S GREAT RIDE.
His Record of 1880 Miles In $40 Day.
VIII 30 Hard TO Ercaa.


a few years ago, In the early days Of
mileage competition, tho announcement
that cyclist had covered $3.50 miles
within year would have created 10 stir
1t would have passed silently and swiftly
into oblivion aS Il bold prcyarication, b'
now thincs arc disIeront. IL is known tha'
Il. n. Roth, the Chicago whcciman, has
actually accomplished that remarkable
foat, and tho matter has become a subject
of wide comment. This wonderful record
which is youchod for by persons Of prohiiy,
was made in less than yoar--in $40 days,
I'm faction one machine and without pace
makers or other assistance
1t was on tbe ,.5uh day OF January, 1896,
tlat Roth ms.Jc his start. Ho finished his
ride on New Years cyc. A hard rainstorm
was pclting Kim as no rode the finishing
mile, ana during AL the long course of HE
years wort, ho has lost 10 time by reason
of tho wcathcr's yagGries. somo days he
labored weaTily through heavy mud, on
Others he oBcouL tered wind and storm,
steaming swel;cr and blistcring sun, ana
yot he actually averaged moro than lOl
miles por day. In making this rido Roth
Travelled over a dozen states ia bis endeavoi
to follow good weather throughout the
country. This speedy and indefatigable
fellow rolled of centuries as easily as u
novice would miles, scoring in all l4O, OF
which numDCr 80 were double, or 2OC
milon, and one was u triple century, 3VO
miles, in "a hours His greatest months
mileage was more than 1900 milos. by
this ride ho became encitled TO many records
and medals which the Century Road club
must secure To him. In the first place,
there In tho individual mileage medal oi
America; then there are the Illinois state
medal, the century record of several states,
the goo mile record OF Ii hours and 80
minutes, the 500 mile record of % hours
fat, the "a hour record of 300 miles, and
several others.
The one wheel upon which Roth rode the
entire distance was a "a pound machine
with five pound tires. The breaking OF q
rim was the only accident of the year. Roth
used no kind of liquor or other stimu
lants, ate well and slept well and gained
10 pounds during the IL months devoted
TO his task.

IL now in possession of /. Is. Wheeler Of

decision of n council of war, moved toward
Charlottesville. Lee had yielded to Jack

The stratagem was "A complete success, and
Siclkles' column went TO pieces under the
terrific onslaught OF $4,000 graycoats. II
was while accommodating In the darkness
that evening that Jackson's own men,
mistaking their leader and his staff for
Union cavalry, poured n shower of bullets
into their midst, and, although several
pierced tho intrepid leader. IL was the one
in MIR. Wheeler's possession that made the
fatal wound.
The surgeon who amputated Jackson's
arm threw the bullet against the wall in n
violent ilt of anger, and Wbeclcr's cousin
picked 10 mp and carried IL through the
war. The former Confederate died long
after tho war, and Wheeler, while going
through his effects, found the bullet and
