ing, invited cyclists in general for a
special half-hour service. More than
500 cyclists went down, representing
nearly every club and suburb in Lon-
don, and displaying every variety OF
cycle garb, from the boomers to 4
frock coat. They filled every seat in
the church and overlooked INFO the
yard. The sermon itself was only five
minutes long, and developed the idea
that as the cycle requires the spirit OF
man to guide it, so does man require
the spirit of Cod and as the cycle Is g
means of progress toward the world to
come-a sort Of spiritual bicycle, IN
fact
On this memorable occasion the
grounds of the rectory were thrown
open to the cyclists, and after the SER
vice, they were permitted TO sit around
on the ground and smoke.
WHEELS AS POPULAR AS EVER.
In spite of the comparatively high
price of wheels in England, and OF the
fact that titled persons no longer con-
slider 1t good form to be seen on bicycles
in public places, especially in London,
there is no indication that the bicycle
is declining in popularity. The Cy-
clists' Touring Club, which is the Eng
lish cousin of the American l.. A. W.,
is growing rapidly, and will soon have
a membership of 10000, of whom sew
eral hundred are Americans, and 200
are members of the peerage, including
the Duke of Connaught. youngest
brother of the Prince OF Wales, VINO
has lately joined. There were oven
q 900 new applications for member
ship last year, and the number is like
ly to be even larger this year. inc
club has a balance of over $4,000, al
though the annual dues are only five
shillings year.
A rival organization, the National
Cyclists Union, which has lately cele-
brated its Dist birthday, with Mr.. Bal
four in the Chair, is almost as large.
Mr.. Balfour said on that occasion that
there had been no more civiliAng IN
vention in the memory of the present
generation than the invention of the BIZ
cycle. He observed, in addition, that
the six Vice Chancellors of Cambridge
who had been or were to be in lmme-
date succession, all, without exception,
were cyclists, although it took the edge
off this gratifying fact to have to say
that one of those officers had been pre-
vented from fulfilling his functions as
Vice Chancellor for three months by .
bicycle accident.
Through the activity of the Cyclists
Touring Club American tourists can
now gain free entry for their wheels
into almost every country In Europe,
and can gain complete information
about roads, hotels and prices, and can
often get reduced rates. Under the
new law regulations for the registra-
ton of wheels in France, it would be
almost impossible for tourist wheel
man to travel there without the help
of the c. 7. G..
1t has always been source of deep
grief to the manufacturers of the
heavy, high-priced English wheels that
English buyers had so pronounced a
fondness for American wheels. Al
last, however, $50 wheels of good quail
ity have been common in England, and
it is reported with much glee that the
imports of American wheels are now

shippers in knickerbockers.

Miss Kussner speaks with much enthu-

indebtedness Of their life. Her first
sittings were at the Winter Palace, St
