on brief but fearsome iournev, the end
ing of which no man, not even themselves,
can foretell. Should their wheels swerve a
single inch from the required direction, or
they, for the fraction of second, lose un-
hinching GOODNESS, absolute perfection of
control, concentration of instantaneous
observation and supreme self possession,
deadly disaster rides with them. So rap
idly do they gather speed in their turiously
feet descent that they flash like misty
streak across the sight, and almost in the
twinkling of an eye have reached the sum-
NIT of the curve referred to, and they and
their wheels soar upward and headlong
high in air. The momentum decreases
until they seem to hover in space, then the
bicycles dive downward and directed by
an instantaneous deiicateness of manfpula-
tion, ,imperceptiblet to the dazed and dumb
founded onlookers, land on the receiving
platform, which their two wheels must
strike at practically the same moment, as
otherwise there would be dreadful finish,
right then and there. But seemingly su-
perhuman nerve and skill have triumphed,
and Alpha and Omega ride placidly down
gentle incline, after what might not In
appropriately be termed race with death.
