CYCLING NOTES.

Cycle riding is increasing in popular
favor in France.
A few novel improvements in next
seasons wheels are promised.
The number of wheels taxed in
France has shown q steady Increase
since 1894.
In the West there probably will be
fifty new cycle tracks in operation
next season.
Out of his large winnings Jimmy
Michael has placed away a snug sum
in case Of a rainy day.
Cycle racing experts have predicted
already that next year will be phe'
nomenal one for cycle racing.
Manufacturers say that all signs
point to an increased business in the
cycle trade for the next twelve months
Capital is being invested in cycle
tracks all over the country, with
view to having them ready when the
next season opens in April.
Charles w. Miller, the worlds six
day champion, has been seriously sick,
but he is now recovering. He expects
to participate in several contests this
winter.
The American cyclists who entered
the contests at the Paris Exposition
carried off q number Of prizes, and
did better than of the other visiting
cyclists.
Gougoltz, Fisher, Chevalier. Freder.
icks, Simar, Muller Laponte, Kiser
and Rysers, the foreign cycle racers,
have just come to this country for the
purpose of entering in the six-day race
in New York City.
A unique novice cycle race took
place on the track at Vincennes,
France recently. The field included
40 starters, many of whom had never
been on a wheel before. Sixteen men
rode in each qualifying heat. One Of
the heats was for fat men. There
were but thirteen men in the final
heat.
