raised in South Africa against such a
course, backed up. no doubt by the Trans

The sale was fixed for certain day at
a salesroom in Conduit street. London
The seal. it is stated. has been for some

he obtained 1t from Boer who was in

soldier sent the seal to this country to be

the colonial office decided to take action,

the seal must on no account BE- sold.
They base their prohibition on the ground
that the ownership of the seal has passed
to the crown as a result Of the annex

BIG REVIVAL OF CYCLING
WHEEL FACTORIES ARE WORK
ING OVERTIME THESE DAYS.
And More Bicycles Are Being Sold
Abroad Than During the
Height Of the Craze.

If just a part OF the things that are be-
ing said and written Just now concerning
the renewal of interest in cycling are true,
then 1898 bids fair to be big a year for
bicycle manufacturers as even their best
year during the height OF the wheel craze.
According to reports the renewal of inter
est is not confined to any one locality. but
is worldwide.
Subtantial figures came from the other
side backing up the newspaper stories of
the great revival of bicycle manufacturing
in Great Britain. Every cycle firm in Bir
mingham and Coventry is working at full
pressure and the total output Is enormous.
one welI-knOwn Coventry firm turned out
1900 machines last month and places its
annual output for this year at 30. .OOS. Just
what that means can best be understood
from tho statement that this firm only
made 5000 bicycles last year. American
conditions all point to a record breaking

have put bicycle manufacturers in a happy
frame of mind and the advance orders al
ready in hand indicate an increase of

Not in years have the bicycle manufac-
turars of America shown so much interest

All About Motorcycles.

Although relegated to the basement the
motorcycle aisle al the eighth national
automobile show. held In Madison Square
Garden. New York. November to 8,
was one of the busiest places In the great
exhibition. and the display Of the 'little
fellows was an eye-opener in every sense
of the word.
The show was the first in which the
Association Of Licensed Automobile
Manufacturers had allowed motorcycles
to participate. but. the decision once made.
motorcycle section was designed in a
spirit of perfect friendliness, and the
grouping of machines furnished a depart
ment that was well worth several hours
study
In addition to the American machines
four foreign motorcycles of international
renown were on exhibition. thus giving
the show a comparative value never ap
preached before in this country or abroad
Thirteen different makes of machines
were exhibited. and In several instances
manufacturers showed a number of diff
ferent modes. such al single and double
cylinder machines. lady front tandams.
convertible tricycles and carrier tricy->
cles
The convertible tricycle., being the first
American motor tricycle. for ladies' usa.
is a decided novelty. and naturally at
tracted much attention and comment
This machine rese mbies a drop frame
bicycle. but has two wheels in front. and
a horizontal tube closing the space be-
tween the seat post and the head. By
removing this upper tube the motorcycle
is ready for skirted rider. The mechan-
ism which Is usually attached to the top
tube of a mans motorcycle is, of necessi-
ty arranged up and down the seat post
and front fork. yet the general effect Is
good as the designing has been along eX
tremelv refined lines.
Several motorcycles are shown with
magnetos. which ara frankly offered as
extras. and which add about $40 to the
cost of the machine. While reductions
are offered by some makers, increases in
their prices have been made by a majority
of the factories
Perhaps the most notable feature of the
foreign motorcycles shown was the fact
that of the four. three were two-cylinder
machines while the other was a four
cylinder If this indicates the tendency
abroad. American makers are not unit
in following the foreign lead. as only two
of the American machines ware two
cylinder One other American maker in
tended to exhibit a two-cylinder at the
show. but the entry was withdrawn at the
eleventh hour
Taken all in all. American motorcycle
designers and manufaCturers may well be
proud of this years splendid exhibition,
and it may be argued that separate
show next year. at which only motor
/ cycles will be displayed, is well within
| the possibilities.

Here's an Indication.

good indication of the rapidly increas-
ing use of bicycles in this country is to be
found in the urgent demand everywhere
for enforcement of the lamp ordinance
The kenasha News says: Not one In a
hundred bicycles carries a light as the
law directs, and at this season of the year,
when darkness falls early. narrow escapes
from accidents are of nightly occurrence
During the hour when the factories close
it IS no uncommon thing to see twenty
or thirty bicycles following a single light"
1t has been a good while since anybody
in Washington has seen twenty or thirty
bicycles in bunch. but if the revival talk
Is based on as sound a foundation as
seems to be the case, then this most ideal
of cities for the sport may once more be
in fact. as well as in truth. the happy
hunting ground of the wheelmen.
The general enthusiasm for cycling
events bids fair 10 be extended even to
home trainer contests. IL the big attend
ance at the recent New Haven, Conn.
event may be taken as a criterion. Among
the contests on that occasion, the most
notable one was a three-ml race be
