Lucien Lesna, remembered in America
last year, has won the title Of ''Cham-
pion of Europe by capturing the fifty.
kilo,neter race at Mayence. Lesna had
no distinguished opponents, however, a

Charles River Park at Boston is max
ing arrangements to import several first.

This time last year the racing men

Ninety-fonr thousand four hundred
and twenty dollars is the sum total Of the
money purses it is claimed to have been
offered in 33S professional cycling con.

below the sum won in past years.

her shopping and visiting She informs
inquirers that she feels better for the ex-
ercise, and regrets that Mr.. Gladstone
had not taken to cycling.
To speak OF riding bicycle mile in
one inmate may seem preposterous. But
it is not. am confident it can be done,
and | think my fellow countryman,
Edouard Taylore. is the man to do it.
Moreover, before this year is over HOPE
to make the trial and demonstrate that
my theory of accomplishing this feat is 8
practical one, says Fournier, the auto
mobile builder.

are stiff and straight. She is consi-
