 MT. Manton used the carriage for 8 few months, long enough to satisfy his friends that horseless carriage was possibility.
 Differential gears were used on the rear wheels, and the speed levers and brake were similar to those how used in the modern vehicles.
 The carriage was easily handled, and the real drawback was the in surmountable fuel arrangements, which precluded the carriage from being practical for everyday use.
 Motor Bicycles Easily Handled.
 That the motor bicycle will play a more or less important part in the cy- cling world this year is admitted. A practical mechanic, who is also an en- thusiast on the bicycle, said recently to New York Tribune representative that the motor bicycle would be appre- ciated more as it became better known to wheelmen, and added: sThe aver age rider of the bicycle seems to think tAehI is VIII require several uayS ana much trouble to learn to handle mo- tor bicycle. It took me just five min utes to master the thing, and then I could handle it as we'll as any of the experts. What astonished me most was the fact that did not notice the additional weight something feared by the average wheelman. When speeding I used the motor on the hills and when going against the wind, but on the level road pedaled along just the same as would have done on an ordinary bicycle. The simplicity of the motor bicycle is bound to be one of it's strongest recommendations The machine is sure to be popular.''
