No matter what may be the time of
day or night or how tired rider may
be. it always pays to spend a few min
utes wiping off a wheel after having
it out in the rain. This should be done
Immediately upon getting home, and to
put it off until tomorrow is wrong.
1t requires only few minutes to do all
tnat is necessary to prevent rust from
forming when done at once The
thorugh cleaning can then be deferred
until later. The wheel should be wiped
thoroughly dry and the nickel parts
may tNn be rubbed off with an oily
rag. 1t should not be forgotten that a
wheel is never quite the same machine
after the parts once begin to rust 1t is
not only appearance that is dana ged.
Rust eats into metal, and for ease of
running smooth and polished parts
are essential. 1t is similar with a
wheel as with the grooming OF good
horse. A little attention at the proper
time means good condition.

A good story bearing on the recent
boom and decline in stocks has been
current in Wall Street. 1t tells how a
big brokerage firm saved itself by send
ing a man up the State to small town
to get some Northern Pacific stock at
the the time when it was most needed.
The important part the bicycle played
In it, though it is not generally told ex-
cept by the messenger who went after
the all-important securities and got
them to town in time. The messenger
got to the house from the station by
stage, and relied upon being taken back
to the depot in one of the conveyances
Of the family. He got the stock, and
then learned that the team had been
driven to a neighboring village, while
the only other horse mad been taken to
the blacksmith's more than a mile
away. He had to catch a certain train
or fail in his errand, and the station
was nearly three miles away. He could
not walk TO it, and MAKE connection.
Can you ride bicycle?" he was
asked.
With a gasp of hopefulness he ex-
claimed: Certainly. Have you got one
here?"
There was a wheel at hanu and he
rode it to the depot and caught his
train, leaving the wheel in charge of
the station master. In telling the story
he never fails to remark that If it had
not been for the presence Oh that bicy-
Gle and his ability to ride 1t that his
firm would have been numbered among
the bankrupted victims of the Wall
Street furry.

"A greater number of rules for the
observance of cyclists have been
framed by the city councilmeL and
others in authority than for the users
OF any other styles of vehicles, said
an old rider the other day, 'and yet
every cyclist knows that wheelmen, as
a class, observe the simpler Jules OF the
road far more faithfully than do the
drivers OF horsepower vehicles. In
the many cases of collision between
cyclist and horse drivers that l have
made note of, circumstances point TO
the horseman as being the offender.
Either he was driving on the wrong
side of the road; he pulled up with a
sudden jerk that brought the cyelist
behind him into an unavoidable rear
end collision, or he swung at full speed
on short turn and without warning,
into a side street, thus presenting the
broadside of his vehicle to an oncom-
ing wheelman. Cyclers. as rule, are
the most careful and consistent of all
vehicle users and owners. Were the
drivers OF horses as courteous and con-
siderate fewer accidents would be re-
corded"

The entrance of the teams of the
American Bicycle Company into the
field was all that was needed to make
the cycle racing of to-day as popular
and successful as was the cycle racing
of years ago The makers this year
looked at the matter In the right light,
and the A. B. c. took the initiative
when 1t forced its riders to enter for
every circuit meet and for every meet
of any consequence previous to the cir
cult. The confidence of the promoters
returned and meets were at once sched-
uled. The promise of the prominent
men for every circuit date brought SO
many applications for the Grand Cir
cult that the chairman of the Board OF
Control will have a hard time placing

Chairman Batchelder believes that
the Board of CC1trol has at last devised
rules to stop team work. The Board has
gone into the matter exclusively, and

used their wits more than their legs in
the past are now compelled to live up
to their contracts with the American
Bicycle Company, which requires them
to obey the rules. With each rider for
himself, it will be harder and more
