ROUND LOOP ON \ WHEEL
R. B. vANDERvOORT DOES THE DARING
FEAT IN PUBLIC AT CONEY ISLAND.

At the old Sea Beach Palace. Coney Island
yesterday DiavaIlo. whose real name is Robert
b. Fandorvoort, an electrical engineer, publicly
| "looped the loop on a bicycle. He had pre-
viously accomplished the same feat privately
about forty times. and yesterdays exhibition
was the last preliminary to his engagement by
the Forepaugh-sells Brothers show. to appear
in public for the season soon to he opened at
Madison Square Garden.
The loop used yesterday was especially con-
structed for the public performance Of the feat
and Fandervoort's two trips around 1t were the
hrst since it was completed. The incline by
which the impetus Ger rounding the loop is
given is 700 feet long. 3 feet inches wide and
Is set al an angle Of 13 degrees The loop itself
is - feet high. and widens from the point of
entrance 10 the exit from ) feet inches 10 T.
feet. Down the incline and around the interior
of the loop a black stripe a foot wide marked
the centre a guide for the rider This was
his only protection against running off the
track. The form OF the loop is a nearly perfect
Searles spiral. The structure was designed by
Arthur T Prescott, one Of the inventors of the
loop the loop and the president Of the COM
pany operating the amusement which last
mer caused So much discussion. The frame
work is of angle steel. and the floor Of three
quarter-inch boards. laid crosswise.
The wheel used had solid rubber tires and
automobile hubs. bearings and spokes and was
especially constructed for strength and weighed
siXty-fve pounds There were 40 sprOCkets or
pedals. strong pair Of strrups taking the
place of the latter. An ingenious device for
gradually chec king the motion OF the rider after
he left the loop consisted of heavy chains at
tached to the ends Of a rope passed through
pulleys so Il formed right angle barrier. strik-
ing the handlebar at the grips. The chains were
laid in reverse, so at first only few links were
dragged. but more added with the riders
progress, until the whole chain was eXerting
its weight and friction : a brake.
The mathematical calculations on which the
construction OF the loop based are interest
ing. The speed Of the rider he enters the loop
is estimated at from thirty-three 10 thirty-fve
