Chicago Jan. 3o.-The second arrual Cycle Show
Of the National Board of Trade came to end
tonight with the largest attendance of the week
In many cases the displays which have been ex-
amlned here will be taken to the New-York show.
Exhibitors, after comparing the cost OF the show
with the amount Of contract business done with
dealers for the ensuing season arrived at the
conclusion that the show IS great and unneces-
sary expense. President Coleman. ice-President
Ciormully and Colonel A. a. Pope are talking OF the
Improbable nature of the show and are trying to
agree on plan for adoption at the next annual
meeting of the Board which will take the place OF
the show. Colonel Popes suggestion Is that cy-
cling merchants throughout the country select an
agreed date In national conference when every one
will decorate his stores and windows, so that all
people interested would turn out TO view the wheels
and the changes and improvements for the season
