A rough rider created q mild sensation by
going up the Boulevard on a bicycle yesterday
afternoon. His clothing was sadly rumpled
and his hat was wonderful to look upon. 1t was
torn in several places and seemed to DO In the
last stages OF dilapidation. 1t was crushed
down on his head in a twisted fashion
that SHOWED a thousand wrinkles. The
last touch that made him look as If
he had been left out ever night and
a gllttering spur that projected from his right
heel. he mad no spur on the left loot. One Of
those who stared and smiled as he went slowly
and laboriously along remarked dreamily: II
wonder II he thinks ne can kick that spur into
the rear tire and urge the wheel to 60 faster"
In the majority Of lamps the bottom comes
out. This Is convenient when it is desired to
I'LL or clean them. but there is another end
which this construction can subserve that is
known to few and should be known to al.
heel riders who sometimes find occasion to
leave their wheels In strange places or even in
Ing. II the bottom of the lamp is removed the
rest of IL is not worth stealing, This trick is
OF especial value in the case OF lamps that are
borious to remove them as a whole. for the
bottoms usually are fitted in by means OF u
spring or a bayonet catch and are easily re-
moved or affixed.

riders climb hills. or do theyY" The speaker
was one of a party of wheelmen and had begun
to tell why he would never ride without a brake.
The query burst in his mind while he drew
breath. but continuing he reached his starting
point last:
