R. C.
Osgood township, in Canada. is the
4rst nounicipality in North America to
nrohibit bicycle riding. At a recent
town meeting the city counc!l voteo
to forbid cycle riding within the town
limits. The claim was made that the
heels frirhtened the farmers horses
IF an attempt is made to enforce the
law. it will probably be carried into
the courts. and it is believed that the
action will be declared Invalid.
The national L. A. w. meet at In
dianapolis, Aug. 8 to 13, will undoubt-
edly be the greatest gathering OF
wheelmen that ever took place IN TINS
country. The Indiana wheelmen have
been making extensive preparations
for the event, and the fact that the
United States government has decided
that Canadian wheels. when accompa-
MED by owners, may be passed across
the line free of duty. This will doubt
less attract a large number of Canadian
wheelmen. The following cycling stars
will appear at the national meet: Ed
die Bald. Jimmy Michael, Tom Cooper
Tom Linton, Arthur Gardiner, Maj
TAYLOR. Earl Kiser and E. A. McDuffie
1t is said that Eddi: Bald and Jimmy
Michael, the middle distance champion
will take to horse racing as a liveli-
hood next year. They will purchase 6
string of fast horses, under the name
at some OF the Southern tracks next
season. Bald already owns severa
blooded horses.
There is an unusual number of ladies
doing centuries this year. Last Sunday
The G o b published the names of e
half dozen st. Paul women. who had
done centuries with their husbands
1t looks as if the fair sex were in g
good way to catch up with some Of
their more sturdy companions in the
matter of century riding. o
Teddy Edwards, the Philadelphia
rider, is still riding 100 miles a day or
his original chainless wheel. After fin.
1Shlng MS ZUUtn century at chicago l.f
will visit other Eastern cities He will
however, abandon his effort Ions
enough to attend the Indianapolis race
meeting in August.
A. c. Mertens, of st. Paul, the ma
tional fve-mile champion, is still do
ing fast work on the national circuit
Mertens will make his first public ap
pearance in a persuit race next weel
at the Woodside track, Philadelphia
He is quite popular with the Eastern
circuit habituees and will probably car
ry off another long distance champion
