Gossip of the Clubs and a Retrospec
tive Glance-Changes In the So
cial Wheel Club-Proposed Track
at the Salt Palace Grounds-Cycle
Path League.

Not since the halcyon days of '94,
'95 and '96, when society set its seal Of
approval upon cycling, and the four
hundred forsook horse, hanson, tally
no and victoria for the bicycle. has the
bicycle been in so much favor as at the
present time.
The past two weeks of spring wealth
er has brought out hundreds upon
hundreds of wheels, and it is almost
impossible to cross the streets during
the day at any of the principal cross
ings or corners without hearing the
warning tinkle and ring and clamor Of
a dozen approaching cyclists. From
early morning, until late at night the
hundreds of swiftly-moving wheels go
darling in and out, and the sidewalk
pedestrian is amazed at their number.
The past two weeks have been busy
ones for the dealers, and none have had
cause for complaint on the score of
lack of satisfactory business. All, with
out exception, have reported inability
to get enough wheels from their respec-
tive factories to fill orders promptly
1t is estimated that over 450 wheels
have been sold by the different dealers
since April 1.

The World Outside.

There Was but one novelty given to
the public of New York last week, that
of Julia Marlowe in a new adaptation
from the French, by Henry Guy Garlic
ton, entitled "Colinette." The story
deals with the old romantic idea of how
a young girl saves her lover by inter-
ceding in his behalf at the eleventh
hour. While the supporting company
was good. the interest conferred in
these two lovers. played by Miss Mar
lowe and Mr.. John Blair. Ii is said
that while the play in its entirety does
not amount to much, the part of Coli
nette viii rank among Miss Marlowe's
triumphs, and the piece deserves to be
commended for its purity and inno-
cence, in contrast TO most of the
French stories of the day.
On the same night the Hanford-T Tyler
Mclean combination was seen in pro-
duction of Romeo and Juliet" The
performance was commended, particu-
larry the Juliet of Miss Tyler. This is
a change. 10 be sure. for Miss Tyler for
many years was identified with ingenue
roles in plays like Shenandoah" "Se-
cret Service" etc. so it is a trifile hard
to imagine her in Shakespeare The re-
markable part of the occasion of her
appearance as Juliet was that the Her
aid Square theatre was filled in every
corner. Not having seen the perform
ance, it would be impossible to say
whether this was due to the actors or
the author.

present on the boards, and in His
Fathers Boy" the popular comedian
believes he has been furnished with the
best medium that he has yet had. 1t
gives him the opportunity of appearing
in an eccentric role, one of those char
acters in which he has been so success
full in the past, and the author has
evolved a series of complicated situa-

fact testifies to her abilities as an ac-
tress. In regard to the comedians stage
