might get credit for defeating it.
All sorts of rumors were In circulation

ever in hearing any kind of a story and

The real impression among newspaper
men was that General Lees withdrawal

Spain would accept $3.50 600. 600 for Cuba,

French Cycling Notes.

bicycling in Frsnce has reached a rather
advanced state ard the many new GUS
toms inaugurated by the free use of the
wheel would hardly be tolerated in this
country. The bicycle girl of France is a
distinct type of the feminine rider and the
dress worn publicly en- the streets OF Paris
would hardly bear importation to this
country.
During the past year there was an in
crease of 73,13i cyclists in the country
L his only represents the actual owners Of

tax OF 81 per annum. The total number OF
wheels now ridden In the country is given
officially as 329,Sl3, which furnish an an

S.00, 900
A riding school for instruction in cycling
is maintained at Paris by two French girls
who were thrown upon their own re-
sources, and who are said to be making
quite success in the venture.
1t is very seldom that bicycle is pawn
ed IN this country, but in France IL is diff
ferent, and the wheel is everywhere recog-
n.zed as negotiable security. The business
is so good i'm Paris that the government
has opened shop for the purpose, and
finds the trade a profitable one. The GUS
tom of good many riders lie to keep their
wheel In pawn during the winter, and pur-
chase clothes with the money thus ad-
vanced, redeeming the silent steed the fol-
lowing spring.
"A special basement Is reserved for BIZ
cycles" is said to be common thing to
see in notices Of buildings for rent in Paris
Bourrillon, the French crack, will con-
tinue to ride on the track all of the present
season, and at the close will have to serve
his term Of three years in the army as all
good, patriotic Frenchmen are required to
do.
1t is getting to be a common sight to see
the young FrehchwOmen, attended by their
maids, taking bicycle spins In the quiet
portions of the city of Paris. The maids
ride about a yard behind their mistresses.
and are dressed in black. with a close black
hat and white turnover collars and cuffs,
presenting a neat and trim appearance
The average French male rider thinks that
all female riders without maids or chap
erones are intended for him to address.
Lucien Lesna, the French crack, insists
that he will come to America this year.
after which he will marry and settle down
In a recent 1U0-kilometer race at Paris in
which there were four contestants, Lesna
was thrown and badly injured.
AL Weinig, the American rider, speaking
of the methods Of training pursued by the
French riders, says that without wine the
men are comparatively no good. Ii is a
frequent thing for them to drink a pint of
champagne before entering a race and
smoke between times, as though they never
intended to ride again. They are astonish-
ed at the total abstinence OF the American
riders while in training.
