THE DRESS OF WHEELWOMEN

For a time. there seemed to be notion
among many women who rode bicycles
in this town that any old clothes would
do for the SPORT provided the skirt were
short enough. But thsre has been de-
cided change in this respect. A woman
should be just as particular about her
appearance when she mounts wheel as
when she takes drive.
1t is just as possible to look spiok and
span on bicycle as on horse, and il is
hoped that more will learn tho trick
The grace and beauty Of equestrians on
the bride path in the park has often
been contrasted with tho slouohy appear
ance of the wheeling women on the speed
way.
The bicycling craze has received new
impetus since judge OF the Supreme
Court at Washington allies the common
veal of the bench with tho uncommon
wheel of the street. or il may be caused
by the lowering OF the "high grades. F" AT
any rate. the largest livery stable of the
city, and near Central Park, has put IN a
supply of wheels for rental by riders who
eschsw saddle horses for the fashionable
treadmill--a mill they claim that will
puiverize obesity and care for all neryou:
grain.
Now that all the worlds a-wheel, the
bicycle girl assumes tho prominence in
popular notice once held by the willy and
witty summer girl.

Every one with teeth or

not one instance was the

WHEELMEN WILL BE A FACTOR

Importance in the campaign. They have
recently shown their political power by
practically compelling tho inert Brooklyn
bridge trustees TO promise TO provide a
track for their exclusive use when the in
vasion of trolley cars crowds traffic on the
roadways To their exclusion.
They are keenly alert to their own in
terests and appreciate what reform has
done for them in the laying of nearly 70
miles of asphalt pavement, making the
total mileage now over l3l miles. Nor
are the wheeling folk the only ones who
appreciate this change. The saving in
noise from the ratting over cobblestones
will not be forgotten.

granite blocks are better than asphalt for

THE COMING ELECTION.

Even at this early date. matters are be-
ginning to crystalline for the campaign
which will result in the election of
officers for Greater New York, who will |
control the annual expenditure OF S75 600, :
600, and an amount of patronage rivaling
that of the president.
If nomiIRtions were made at this time,
there is little doubt that Seth Low
would be the candidate for mayor, and
with an alliance of regular Republicans
and independent voters at his back. his
prospects Of victory would be bright,
especially so should Tammany Hall again
espouse the cause OF free silver, for this
would drive from the ranks of united
Democracy all such men as Il. Ellery
Anderson and William g. Whitney. the
acknowledged leaders of ths gold wing Of
the Democratic party in New York.
