THAT PIANO.

The one prize that is of the greatest cost is a Vose and Sons Grand piano. It is now on exhibition at the store of the Redewill Music company. It is attracting a large number of people there daily. All who see it are de- lighted with the beauty of the instru- ment. and those that have played on it have pronounced it superior to any thing ever before brought to Arizona. This piano has a highly polished, fine ly figured mahogany cabinet: three unisOns. over strung scale, repeating action, sostenuate pedal with a Vose patent key base. Its tones are pow erful and sweet. There is a great deal of difference in the music of the Up- right piano and that of the parlor Grand. The Grand by virtue of it's shape and construction. is far more at tractive to all musicians. The cost of a Grand. however makes it usually prohibitive for ordinary home use.

Since Floyd Mcfarland won the New

space to Long Mac" and his wonderful
ability as a bike rider He is called

the "unpaced king" and the handicap

titles, Mac is being credited as the
brainiest rider alive and the best race
general in the game today. This all
may sound fine 10 those who know little
or absolutely nothing about bike racing
but in Salt Lake. where head work In
bike race is known and appreciated.
IT is known that Mcfarland does not
class with Hardy Downing. Mac is
probably a better rider than Downing
but 1t is his physical strength alone
that makes him so. When il comes to
real head work liz a race and ability to
take care of himself Mac hardly
classes with Downing. If Hardy had
the physical strength he would be
champion of the world. and the success
he makes out of the game is his ability
and head work alone.
For example. two years ago in a hard

nine men upon teams-three centers, three

SOME GEARING CONTRASTS IN rUPs AND
