The liveliest interest Is felt In the chainless
wheels and whenever a new model OF this sort
is announced there Is a rush Of riders to see Its
fine points and TO discuss It's merits as com

chainless will he exhibition at the Monarch
store at Church and Reade SITS. tomorrow. and
IL is expected that the clerks will be kept busy
explaining the mechanism Of the wheel to in
tending purchasers. The wheel differs materi-
ally from most Of the chainless wheels already
exhibited and the company seems confident
that il is the best thing in the line that has
been shown this year. The principle of the mo-
tive power is what is called a pin roller gear.

cannot affect the smooth running Of the wheel,
as the little rollers shake off the foreign sub

THE Cycle" says that the things we forget
are:
Keeping your mouth shut when cycling is not
nearly such a difficult accomplishment as say

thousands like her. She rides out in her new

a seldom loses his head when cycling. no
matter into what complications he finds himself
although he often gets it severely knocked
about at times.
We are often careless OF observing the rules
Of the road ours selves. and yet we are always
ready to censure others for the same misde

W II. Kneck. OF Colorado Springs made the
clever record Of 20215 miles in 1897. including
15S centuries. two triple centuries and quad
ripple century. His fastest time 1:45 and
his average time. 800.
Do not attempt TO take your machine to pieces
unless you you know how to replace
the many parts correctly and adjust the bear
ings accurately. Should you know how to take
the bearings out and do so. never forget when
replacing the balls TO drop five six drops Of
oil the dry balls before covering with the
cone.
The safest way after drenchng the bearings
with kerosene and running them thoroughly is
to lay the machine on its side until the kero-
| sene has out, which it will do in few
/ minutes, though If you can leave It in reclining
/ position over night so much the better.
