q greatly opposed TO the proposition to
sAsngs the intercollegiate races TO a week

rat some of the men will develop great
geea.
Many riders on the streets are prone TO
sexIect the proper and inexpensive cour-
,sy Of keeping 10 the right OF the road.
ms has become especially noticeable Of
ate on such crowded thoroughfares as
Fyrss and Second avenues and has caused
iex accidents and no end OF annoyance.
There may be few cases where the rider
slanges along the left side through ignor-
snee Of the unwritten law, but for the
shoss part the misconduct Is simply mat
ar q thoughtlessness. Two or three
wheels we're smashed up last week in
frantic efforts 10 avoid collisions, and in
each Instance the sufferer has been an
,lsisd 10 the right OF way. Serious acct
denis. such as being forced under the
wheels Of street cars and wagons. have
been several times narrowly ayerted. IL
i hlnted that often--very often-it is a
Isay rider who tries TO force passage
aswn the wrong side of the street.
Several complaints have lately been
made Of msschievous small boys or some
syer-grown miscreants who make prac-
tee Of scattering broken bottles and other
scraps OF glass along the streets frequent
81 BY cyclerS. No one has so far been de-
seciei. Such tricks arc prompted by pure
Haaee.
Cyclists who do not ride habitually al
ross Invariably descend hills slowly. They
SEN 10 lack confidence and dash. and
crawl down declines which the most ex-
peri take az rafting pace. IL Is wonder
al however, the improvement they mani
rs after riding habltually with those who
d. taks the risk OF a tumble. The example
g the others has stimulating effect Al
Eoss l8scnslbly they increase their pace.
Thess confidence and powers OF fast pedal
Ing improve vastly. and IN few weeks
'asy deahie their pace down hill.
