few years ago there were many
streets, in this now beautiful city, that
were almost unbearable to the eye, but
now the merry cyclists may glide along
with ease and the level beauty made
by such skillful grading and crushed
shell coatings, all done under the person
al supervision OF Mayor Ellis, causes
every rider and pedestrian to bow with
gratitude to their benefactOr.
Mayor Ellis superintendent the build
ing OF the magnificent macadamized
road leading to the National cemetery,
a distance of one and a half miles, and
which is kept in perfect condition by an
annual government appropriation. He
was the originator III the idea that shell
rock would make the best macadamized
roads as this famous roadway was an
experimental use of the shell rock at his
recommendation. He has during his five
years Of administration so beautifed the
rOadways as to maye it indeed a pleas
ure to ride over them and by so doing
he has built an everlasting monument
to his administration.
There is in Newbern one of the
brightest, and swiftest cycle clubs in the
State. lit has a good membership and

city. The Agricultural and Me-
chanical College would probably
take great interest in this and
it is to be hoped that the irea will gain
supporters in the institutions Of learn
ing throughout the entire State. Nearly
all of the large colleges of the North
have cycle cluDs and racing teams, and
it would not be bad idea if the colleges
Of the South took up the matter. 1t would
surely be a goou thing in so far as it
would cause a great number of the stu
dents to take regular exercise and be-
sides this it would give to the colleges OF
this State what has been lacking for a
long time, the proper sort of college
spirit.
Next year we will have about sixty or
possibly seventy wheelmen in college,
and then a clue is to be organized.

BIKING AT TRINITY.
A GOOD TRACK FOR ACING--CYCLISTS
TO ORGANIZE.
Good Roads and Bicycle Paths--PIeasant Trips
to Surrounding TOwns--FacuIty as
Well as Students Ride.

Trinity College has no cycle club, but
she has enthusiastic cyclists among the
students, and sympathizers with this in
nocent sport, among the faculty.
The rumor that has been started in
Durham to the effect that Trinity was
to get up a cycle racing team is founded
upon myth, though it is highly probable,
should such course be pursued by other
colleges in the State, that Trinity would
not be found absent on race day.
From among the faculty we have only
a few cyclists, as some doubt the dig
nifty maintained in riding. However,
that idea is fast dying out, and next
year we expect to see our President rid
ing a bike" 1t is said that DR.. Kilgo
knows how to ride, and that he has
owned wheel, but at present he is not
considering wheels or wheeling.
Trinity students have a great OppoPtu-
nifty to use their wheels while in college.
The Durham streets and the roads ra-
dating from the city, are of the first
quality, and long distance rides, such as
to Henderson, Chapel Hill and Raleigh,
have been taken by Trinity students.
Another beautiful feature Of the cycle
life is the track which is in a most con-
venient spot for students who desire to
take out door exercise at any time.
1t is hardly possible that old Buck
Blackwell, in the days of plenty, when
he threw his fortune to the breeze and
built this noted track, ever imagined
that now it would come to this glorious
work Of aiding young college students
to build up their physical as well as
their mental beings.
The track is in excellent condition, and
is kept so the year round.
Students here are much interested in
the wheel and this past year there have
been a great number kept by the college
men. Next year it is predicted, and safely,
that the number of riders will be fully
doubled and possibly q hundred wheel
men will organize into Trinity Road
League to make bike" paths about
the campus. Racing among the stu
dents is almost an unknown quantity.
Seldom is the enthusiasm carried far
enough to find the wheelmen eXerting
themselves in a race, but they will prob
ably get the craze at fever heat next
year, and every phase of cycle life will
then be shown. The Durham cyclists
enjoy scorching through the college cam
pus. The roads are hard and level and
are made of the most durable macadam.
The beauty of the campus is growing
daily and next year the trees will afford
shady spots where the tired wheelman
may rest his weary limbs. The ladies,
connected with the college, who ride
wheels are very scarce, but those who
have accepted the wheel are quite fond of
it and show great interest in all wheel
man news.

tact. There is no one in the State who
is better prepared to tell of the benefits
to be derived from good roads, and there
is no one who is more liberal supporter
with time and money.
The afternoons here are spent by the
cyclists in a manner probably different
from any other college town in the
State. In the fall and spring afternoons
the wheelmen take spins out into the
country to such lovely spots as Piney
Prospect, Laurel Hill. Kings Hill and
Battles Park afford, and there they
spend the afternoon in quiet, studying
for the following days work.
Many trips have been taken on wheels
to and from Chapel Hill. The Durham,
Pittsboro and Raleigh roads all offer in
ducements, and it is a frequent occur
renee for students to visit the Hill on
bikes" Only a few days ago / attempted
the trip from Raleigh, making the 20
miles in three hours and forty-fve min
utes. The roads were in perfect condi-
ton, and only in one place was riding
impossible Several cyclists, who at
present are attending the Summer School,
instead making the return trip to Raleigh
on their "bikes."
The town has limited the riding space
on sidewalks in Chapel Hill, and a num-
Der of good jokes, mainly on prominent
member of the faculty, are told.
One, it is said. has been up before the
Mayor on more than one occasion for
riding within limits; one has refused to
pay and others have refused to ride at
all if the city will have such laws.
There are a number of lady riders
here, among them are several of the
wives of members of the faculty. Mrs. III.
V. Wilson, Mrs. J. A. Holmes, Mrs. FL.
H. Williams, Miss Harris, Miss Cobb,
and others The prospect here for an even
brighter year for cycle circles in '98 is
most promising.

After having sold a 500 bicycle to
nearly every one in the world who could
afford it, and to thousands who could
not, the manufacturers of some of the
best makes have cut the price to SIS.
Declaring that standard machine could
not be sold for less than 500, they now
proceed to offer this years machine for
$75, as they have for some months been
offering those of the model of 1896 for
that figure. There is still about 100
per cent left in the $7j price for some
body. There is more than that in the
best makes of type-writers, not one of
which could not be made at profit for
$50 and still give something handsome
to the inventor. Sewing machines cost,
20 years ago. all the way from $50 to
$12O. Now that the patent rights have
expired good machines are to be had for
less than the cheapest could be bought
for even 10 years ago, and still there is
money in them.

William T. Hill, who is one of the most
up to date wheelmen in Newbern.
To Mr.. Hin is due much credit for the
popularity of the Bicycle in this city
being the first man here to handle wheels,
conducting an agency for one of the
leading standard wheel companies, and
he is still most valuable agent for the
same manufacturers. Mr. Hill is 80
years OF age and stands we'll in the bust
ness circles of the city. He is proprie-
tor of the w. T. Hill Job Printing and
Rubber stamp Company.
The first Bicycle races ever given in
Newborn were under his management
and according to League of American
WIheelnen Rules. He is indeed the
pioneer OF modern cycling in the city Of
,Elms."
Newbern is not lacking in fast riders.
Mr.. William Frederick Richardson a
young man 20 years of age is developing
great speed for short distances. He as
picture of physical beauty being New
bern's best all round athlete. He is
captain of the famous Atlantic House,
Real Team of this city, which holds the
State championship belt for the past two
years and also the championship of the
South Mr.. Richardson is sprinter with
a wide reputation. He is q member
of the Richardson Bros. Printing Com
pany.
The Newbern Cycle Club has many
valuable members who are ever striv-
ing to do good for their organization,
but feel quite safe in saying that Mr..
George ID. Roberts, the News and OBJ
servers Newbern correspondent, is the
most active member of the club.
He is ever active and on the watch for
anything that is good and he has been
most important factor in the ad-
vancement of the cycling sport of the
city. He is a young man with many
friends, one of the most popular wheel
men Of the city and the strongest advo-
cate OF "Wheelmen's rights and good
roads"
There are about 500 wheels in the city,
about seventy five of the most enthusi-
astic riders being young ladies. There
have been no boomers in this section as
yet, but the sensible short skirt has be-
come quite popular with the lady riders.

radiating from Chapel Hill are all in
good condition and the grading is not
surpassed in the State. For this the
entire section is indebted to State GeOlo-
gist J. A. Holmes, who has been
untiring in his efforts to stimulate the
interest in good roads in North Caro-
lima.
Prof. Holmes is Local Consul here for
the League Of American Wheelmen and
is President Of the u. N. G. Division of
the Wheelmen's Road League, which
was organized during the past session of
the University.
The League though only few
months old, has caused to be built a
mile bicycle track around the campus,
and this, with the Lake sixth mile track,
gives the cyclists Of the University

Among those connected with the Var
sity there are about one hundred and
fifty who ride wheels. Among the thirty
odd members of the faculty there are
about thirteen cyclists, and the beauti-
full macadamized roadways and hard
paths about the campus are constantly
being traversed by speedy cyclists going
to and from their duties. 1t is expected
that next year bicycle races will be more
popular in the University sporting life,
and if there should arise competition be-
tween the cycle clubs Of the different

and hearts are turned to the newest
models of beauty and durability and the
streets of the city are never without
some cyclist squirting along the white,
shell paved streets. Scarcely any town
in the South can claim more beautiful
streets and the Newbern people do say
that as for looks there never was a hand
somer club of bicyclists in the country.
The cyclists of Newbern have always
been followers of the League of Ameri-

taken place in this city have always
been under l.. A. w. Rules.

THE FARMER WHEELMEN
A. AND M. COLLEGE STUDENTS BELIEVE
IN GOOD ROADS.
Many Riders Among the Students--Wi Proba-
bly, Be Willing to Go Into Inter
Collegiate Cycle Races.

In the Agricultural and Mechanical
College there are many Of the most en-
thusiastic wheelmen, and as would ma
turally be expected, the entire college is
warmly in favor Of anything that will
be a step towards the accomplishment
Of the good roads movement. The faculty
all the student body are always inter-
ested in the good roads movement and
many Of them are leaders in the fight. In
the faculty there are about SIX riders and
in the student body there are about forty
young men who own or ride wheels. The
beautifully macadamized roadway into
the city makes q most delightful bike
road and every day the students are seen
spinning along to and from the city. In
the faculty perhaps the greatest cycle
enthusiast is Prof. w. A. Withers and
probably the speediest rider is Prof.
Parks. The students have no track OF
their own, but are often seen on the
track at the Fair gronds trying their
speed, and some few Of them have taken
part in informa. races on that track. The
roads about the campus are always in
the best of condition and the bicycle
paths to the city and also to the country
are good and are frequented by the stu
dents Of the college.
There is no college in the State in
which greater interest is taken in the
study of the good roads question and
how best to go about accomplishing the
end desired The students often take up
in their societies the subject of good
roads for discussion and all are well
posted on the subject. The idea of cycle
races between the colleges of the State
had not been agitated here in the college,
though it had been spoken of in the

agine. To these truck farms perfect
macadamized roads wind themselves be-
tween rows of beautiful shade trees and
here, on the pleasant afternoons and
moonlight nights hundreds of cyclists
may be seen spinning along adding to the
beauty of the scene.
Ten years ago to-day there were but
two cycles in the town and those clum-
sy uprights perchance are still here, most
probably broken in many places and
buried in attics or cellars in some old
homestead. Whether buried in cellars
or attics they are forgotten and all eyes

ELEVATOR BURNED.

The Osborne-McMillin elevator
at Clement burned to the ground
about noon Tuesday. When Mr..
Jones, the agent returned from din
ner he found the power-house so full
OF smoke that he could not enter it..
Considerable hay was stored in here
for the horse and the fire was max
ing rapid headway in this. Nothing
could be done to stay the course of
the flames and they soon ate their
way through to the elevator and in
less than an hour this was entirely
consumed together with the contents
which consisted Of about Z carloads
of wheat and four Of flax.
The origin Of the fire is unknown
but it is thought to have some way
caught from the stove pipe from the
Office. Mr.. Jones has made good,
careful agent at this place and ma
turely feels very bad that such an
accident should have occurred while
he was in charge.
