The bicycle never really put on airs

Sporting Life.
y cycling authority suggests that the
rear pulley OF the chainless wheel shall
he cut with two or even three concen-
trio rows of teeth, so that the gear may
be changed Mt will, That would GER
tainly be an improvement on the pres
ent method, and will probably be intro
duced into 1899 wheels.
Century runs will not be so p%opulnr
this ycar-at least, not with ordinary
riders, who have discovered that they
are not so enjoyable as they might be,
To ride 100 miles Is In itself n task; but,
when the run Is made on schedule time,
II becomes hard work, More pleasure
is had from going out In small parties,
dismounting when md where you
please, without; regard to time.
AT the present time II is difficult to
say just how popular the gear case will
be. Experienced road riders are in
clincd to think the gear case is n good
arrangement for the chain protection,
and should give as much satisfaction as
the chainless. Others say that an or
binary rider who takesjcarc of his mn-
chine should have nc use for n gear case.
IT. is clumsy, n dctrncts greatly from
the neat appearance of n wheel and

COMMERCIAL LAW POINTS.

An acceptance OF goods after the time
fixed for delivery IS a waiver OF utrict
performance of the c~ontrnct.
Confession OF judgment by the buyer
of goods to n third person without the
knowledge OF the seller is not ground
for rcscission of n sale of merchandise.
\ court of equity will relieve against
a contract procured by false representa-
lions, whether or not the party making
such representations knew that they
were false.
a buyer cannot set up fraudulent rep
reservations to defeat an action on a
purchase monoy note and still retain
the title to the goods, one claim must
be abandoned.
Acceptance of warranted goods by n
buyer does not preclude him from RELY
ing upon the warranty, even where
work and material are embraced to-
gcther in the contract.
y debtor dealing with an attorney
who has n claim against him for collec-
ion is bound to inform himself as to the
HNtent of the attorneys authority, to re-
rcivc or compromise II.
y buyer Of goods by samples is bound
. exercise his election promptly, and
-eturn, or offer to return, the goods i'm
Tediately after discovering that they
10 not correspond to the sumples.
The mere. fact that two persons are
10Th interested pecuniarily in the same
business, and that each gives to 1t equal
v his time and attention, does not es-
'ablish n partnership between them.
y fraudulent purpose will be imputed
n court TO one who states of his own
knowledge that n certain fact exists and
induces another to act upon such state
mcnt, to the damage Of the latter.
