Public sentiment will generally ap-
prove the action Of the New York
sheriff who recently arrested lady
cyclist. !" She was trying to cover
three thousand miles in quicker time
than that distance had ever been rid
den before, and when the sheriff in
terfered had already covered twenty
six hundred miles in less than twelve
days she was in such q pitiable con-
dition that people living near the
scene OF her riding made complaint. It
may not be necessary to regard such q
person as a criminal, but any one who
knows no better than to impose such
q strain upon her own health, If not
upon her life, is better off in custody
