Cherry, the champion of the world for huhureu
Kilometres, arrived In Montreal on the Vancouver
from Liverpool last week. and yesterday TOOK MS
preliminary spin on the queens Fark udch VIZ"
which he is completely satisfied. In an interVie"
hs said that all English racing men were anxiously
looking forward 10 the worlds meet in Montreal
and that most Of the passengers on the steamer
Dominion would be found TO make up huge d.
cycle marty Secretary Sturmey with the ex-
cursion and the English professionals were coming
over IN the same Cherry looks the picture OF

good Judges Of form think likewise
1t is definitely known that there are more than
one hundred members of Parliament who are mem
bers OF the Cyclists Touring Club and 1t has been
estimated that there are quite as many more VINO
ride without having Joined 1t. the number can
approximately be given two hundred.
The Sevenoaks magistrates have established a
precedent which should be taken note OF by the
friends Of motor owners. man was hned ga
and costs for furious driving. the chief part OF the
offence apparently being that his motor made i
loud noise and frightened a horse. His companion
IN the car, who had nothing to do with the control
OF IT, was also summoned, but was let off on pay
rnent Of costs. 1t is something new II the pas
sengers in a vehicle TO be summoned when the
driver goes too fast.
The largest cycle mandatory in England is not
IN Birmingham Coventry but in Leeds. A COM
pany which has just completed It's premises IN
Hunslet Leeds has started the work OF COM
petition with an enormous quantity Of American
labor saving machinery and hundreds Of depots al
over the country.
1t is interesting TO notice that motor riding is 60
ing through exactly the phases cycling, and
the features which went far In introducing the
cycle occurring in exactly the way In the
motor world. Reference is made 10 the formation
OF clubs and club life.
