the Yaqulna bar, for her copper was
hanging in shreds and other damage was
done to her rudder and keel. Work was

CYCLING.

The London Cyclist says: 'In the
latest pattern Of pacing multiplets Eng
lish makers have for once borrowed a
leaf from America in the system Of build
ing the rear rider over the back wheel.
The advantage Of the new method of
building these multicycles is that the
rear rider is seated some inches higher
than his companions, which has the ef-
feet at giving additional protection from
the wind to the man who is being paced.
This is beyond the generally accepted
! gain that is due to the fact Of the rear
man affording better shelter to the paced
one when he is behind the back Wheel"
1t is curious that while English writer's

According to experiments made by a
Wcll-knoWn manufacturer, soft tires are
more conducive to pleasure riding than
hard ones. However, for fast riding the
hard tire is the better. The series OF ex-
lerimcnts made reveal the fact that the
proper air pressure is q! pounds to a
square inch, Not much is gained by
heavier pressure to those who do not care
to speed. With this pressure the tires
reach the limit OF their resiliency.
