Manager Fransioli OF the Manhattan Railway
Company will be a busy man to-day Watching
the result Of his bicycle trains on the Nlnth-aVe'
elevated road The service last sunday was eN-
ceilent while it lasted. and cyclists VINO used the
bicycle cars We're more than satisfied Win Ihe
accommodations offered them. still. the prop
lem has not been solved as yet. and nobody real
;zes this moro than does Mr.. Fransiol' nlnlseI.
MANY cyclists are Of the opinion thai both the
road and the wheelmen would be better SaIlsieu
az the wheels could be carried in TINS CIV d III
are TRANSPORT I'd on the elevated ROADS IN PlOoN
Ivn Thev think that an extra car might ne at
tached TO each train in which WneelS cou!u 80 "
carried J. the railroad officials think that 1 Ilers
would be too much OF crush at the South ferry
station then all wheels could be taken on anu
of az the Rector-st station. That extra oicycie
car could be used also as smoking car
With the death OF the Cycist Federation the
friends Of the wheel hoped that there would be
no further differences among the cyclists. Then
the New-York Consulate Of the l.. A. w. was or
ganized. and thinking men in the L. a W. eX-
pected that there would be peace in the entire
camp. Such unfortunately has not been the
case and there is some talk now OF an open
rupture among certain clubs and associations
The newly organized Associated Cychhs |luos
OF New-York has done good work already anu
It's promoters will do more. 1t was a wise move
on the nort OF p Anthony Brock, and 1t was
stu be,ter one when he brought together the
associations Of this city, Of Long Island ana OF
