The Syracuse.
The Syracuse has designed a new
fork crown whose forksides are fast
ened to the forkpost by two pieces Of
| tubing. Lightness and strength are
gained by this arrangement. The crank
I axle cones are integral being turned
out of one piece Of steel.
The EIfn.
This is a childs wheel sure to prove
popular with parents, for it grows
with the child" BY an ingenious ar
rangement, the frame can be raised
and heightened as the child gains in
stature.
The WOIff-AmPFiCan.
| The eccentric chain adjustment is the
proudest boast of this make. Every
rider is familiar with the eXasperating
process Of adjusting his chain. But in
| this adjustment il is simple matter
of screwing a nut. The self-oiling bear
| ings form another important feature
of the Wolff American.
| The Dayton.
The Dayton boasts several unique
contrivances. The "Hussey" spherical
hub, one of these is different from any,
other hub in the market. The spherical
crank hanger is also original in its
way.
The Lowell Diamond.
This is another familiar Massachu-
setts wheel. Its interchangeable chain
| is one of its strongest points. Last
year many purchasers complained OF
the tire. This year the fault has been
remedied and the tires are among the
best on the market. Its triple arch fork
crown and flush taper joints continue
prominent features of construction.
The Barnes.
The Barnes is this year equipped with
a coaster and back-pedaling brake. 1t
is possible for the rider to enjoy a coast
without being forced to adopt the dan
gerous practice of taking the feet off
the pedal. By back pedaling brake
is instantly applied. The characteristic
white enamel of this wheel is still re-
tanned.
The Rambler.
Characteristic features of this years
Rambler are LAP brazing," reinforce
ment throughout and protection of the
joints to preclude the injurious eftects
of vibration upon the frame. The head
The White.
The White, manufactured by the
White Sewing Machine Company, is W
to date in all its details. Its pedals and
crank bearings are its strong points.
The warwick.
The makers of the Warwick have got
out a chainless wheel for 80. They
claim to be presenting the public witt
the only single piece crank chainlesS

The Olive.
The Olive claims the only backped

crown fork is a distinguishing fea.
ture.
The Victor.
The Victor has this year one feature
distinctively novel. 1t is known as the
spinroller gear. 1t claims all the adj
vantages of the beVel gear with tn
additional merit that it runs with less
friction and instead of fiat surfaces i
has carved "iins," or cogs fitting init
each other.
