CYCLE NOTES.

Several models of the 1899 wheels have already made their appearance, al- though there has been no public an nouncement of that fact. "The Wheel" has this to say of the wheels of the com ing season:
 ''It would seem as though work on the coming seasons models was some- what in advance of that usually to be found at this season of the year. This is probably due to the fact that the sea- son has been so comparatively dull at the time it was expected thst the brisk est business would be done. Therefore, more time has been available for the consideration of new models. None of these 80 far seen exhibits any very startling novelties or changes from the present years machines. Dropped hangers and shortened heads continue to be the principal notifications.
