of eight men. After some practice they
attained great proficiency, getting over
fences, fording streams, and, on one &C.
casion, scaled board fence nine feet
high, with the bicycles packed in heavy
marching order.
The heaviest wheel (the one exhibited)
weighed Sc pounds, the rider 1856

wheel the rider covered 1, 500 miles, the
greater part of the distance being over
some of the worst roads in the United
States, travelling through sand, mud,
rain, water, over rocks, stones, ruts,
mountain ranges, etc.

A Monkey Wheelman,

Not content with having dog, cat,
white rats, rabbits, turtles and other
pets, Aleck Munchweiler, down town
boy, purchased monkey about two
weeks ago. Because of the little animal
penchant for drinking water from n.y.
drant he has been named Spigots.
Spigots has developed mania for cy-
cling. His master has arranged little
seat on the front of the wheel, and here
the monkey sits, dressed in a pair of lit
tie red boomers. The other day Spigots
enjoyed himself hugely and looked with
disdain on the dogs that barked as he
rode by. All went well until Spigots at
tempted to stand up in his seat, getting
frightened at two vicious looking ca
mines, which were springing up at him.
The result was that he fell and had his
right foot run over. Aleck took him to
a nearby drug store and had the wound
ed part bandaged with care. Spigots
now presents "a queer sight, sitting on
the front step, with his arm in sling,
and at the sight of wheel runs into the
house crying piteously. -Philadelphia
