MODERN CYCLE COMFORT.
Nightmare of Unreliable Machine
Dissipates With Present -Day Mount.

Most riders Of experience know what it
means to be abroad after nightfall on
a machine that is unreliable or tempo
rarlly indisposed. What might be a
pieasurable ride becomes a veritable
nightmare. The unha ppy wight thus
situated is constantly turning over in
his mind the choice variety Of things
that may happen. and half expecting
that they will. That old belt may break,
or the .accumulator run down sudd emily
and no stand to test the engine and
adjustments! There is no spare spark
ing plug and what will he do ii the only
one suddenly gives up the ghost? He
carefully thinks over, ponoers on and
reviews every breakdown or mishap he
has ever had. and wonders if history is
about to repeat itself. He remembers
sundry nuts that have once worked
loose. and has haunting dread that
they will come off and be lost.
II his gloomy forebodings do come
true. it is certain to be in deso,ate
part Of the country. and when he is haZy
as to his precise whereabouts. He will
have to walk or pedal his machine in
the downpour that fate is sure to pro-
vide He will eventually reach the sta
ton only to find that the last train has
already departed. This Is the result of
venturing out late on an improperly pre-
pared shoddy. or unreliable mount, or
let me whisper it gently. reader-you
are not very expert in things mechanical.
But what difference with preseut-day
motor cycles. EH

New Canadian Clubs.

the sort in existence. have already com
pieted schedules for the entire seasons

durance runs, competitions, picnics, hill
climbs and dinner parties are planned
for the enjoyment Of the members OF
these two live organizations.
In addition to these events. the Wan
ders' Motor Cycle Club has arranged for
a two weeks tour, beginning July %.
The run will be to New York city by way
of Rochester and Niagara Falls, and it
is expected that number OF the Il. A. NJ.
clubs wilt join the tourists along the

The case of J. Thilman Hendrick. who
was arrested about four years ago, for
driving his auto in Maryland without
state license. will be brought before the
Supreme Court next month, ard II this

The club is composed entirely Of Indian
riders. but, as stated before. it is not
limited to this make of machines When
riders of other makes Of two-wheelers
see the Washington Motor Cycle Club on
the road there is nothing but Indians to
be seen, and they no doubt feel that they
would not be accepted as members OF
this organization. And it is the desire to
have it known that such is not the case.
Last Sunday found the boys on run
to Chattolanee Springs, Md The day
was an ideal one for motoring and
large crowd was out. Regardless OF one
or two punctures. which are inevitable
to any motorist there was not the slight

of Buck Greer, the captain, the speed
sters were led by Lieut. McCreight. Mack
proved himself capable by holding the
lead over this fast aggregation.
The Belasco Theater was the scene OF
lively party of members. which was
arranged by the entertainment commit
tee, during the week. Ambition was
the attraction, aud it was thoroughly
enjoyed This committee is proving its
worth in affording entertainment for the
two-wheel enthusiasts, and its work is
the cause of the members being animated
so closely with each other. Some large
doings' have been arranged for next
Wednesday evening.
The club members will make a run to
Annapolis Md. today. The riders made
this trip earlier in the season and found

Wins Jarrott Cup.

For. the second time since il was Of
fered for competition, the famous Jar
rott cup motor cycle trial in Great
Britain has been won by an Indian,
the repeat being scored in the seventh
competition for the trophy conducted
by the Motor Cycling Club OF London
April 11-13. E. y. Colliver: riding a
standard touring model Indian "a.
was the winner against a field of 1Ss
starters, representing the best riders
of Great Britain. The course was from
London to Lands End and return over
various routes. the distance being o6S
miles Two difficult hills also had to
be negotiated nonstop to qualify for
medals. The object of the contest was
to demonstrate the reliability Of COM
peting machines. and entries We're in
from all leading factories, who sent
their best riders.
Colliver's performance is a consistent
follow-up to the first capturing Of the
trophy in 1911 with the late Arthur
Moorhouse up Moorhouse scored
over a field of sixty-nine starters. Of
whom only thirty-seven finished. That
year the course was the most dffhcult
yet selected and terrific heat combined
to knock out many expert riders. The
Indian is the only American motor
cycle which ever has won the Jarrott
cup and the only machine built out
side of Great Britain which ever
won it.

Motor Cycle Huntsman.

Fred G. Walters of Warren. Pa. is an

many hunting trips. In order that his
dogs will not be tired out when they

attached a small platform to the rear of
his motor cycle, on which the dogs ride.
And they seem to enjoy the sport as
much as their master.
Another hunter who rides his motor
cycle in search Of game is Robert Stubbs

Reasons for Increased Use.

OF course, the increased mileage ca
pacity OF the electric car has something
TO do with the largely increased use
Eight years ago thirty miles on a single
charge was. the limit for any electric.
Today. however, it is not unusual to hear
of electric vehicle owners driving eighty
to 100 miles on a charge.
IAN automobile electrically operated, as
it has now developed in the 1914 electric,
is destined to be the logical and only
suburban and town car for both men and
women-they demand simplicity. of oper-
alton. comfort and cleanliness, and these,
combined with low cost of upkeep,
make the electric inevitable.
Another feature in favor Of the cleo
trio automobile is the fact that it is prac-
teal for the use of cushion tires. which
obviate the danger Of punctures and
blowouts; they are also economical. as
they are guaranteed for a distance Of
10000 miles

MEN NOW USE ELECTR|CS
Many Find Them indispensable for

Dealer.

1T is not so very long ago that electric

day men are finding them indispensable
for business purposes. and thar range OF
service has vastly increased said the
local manager of ono of the electric car
companies last week.
Nowhere in the United States were
people SO slow to appreciate the true
value Of the electric car as in the Ma
tional Capital, but during the past year
the automobile public has had an awak-
ening-it has Investigated and found that
the modern electric car is truly an eye
opener. and has competed favorably with

the reports Of the subcomnlittees which
are handling the various divisions of the
work of preparation. Sanction No. 2263
has been secured from the Federation of
American Motor Cyclists. and the sanction
is now in the hands of the referee. Word
has been received from the American
Automobile Association that the sanction
OF that organization will be granted as
soon as the club submits its entry blank
for the automobile events for approval
The securing OF these sanctions places
the event on the list of recognized con-
tests. and drivers not registered with
these organizations viii not be permit
ted to compete.
IL has been officially decided that a
cycle car is an automobile and not a
motor cycle. and is governed by the rules
of the contest board of the automobile
association. The classification is con-
trolled by piston displacement. the cycle
car being placed at seVenty-one inches
or less. The next higher class is. called
to 100 inches, an,S the next is small

Program Revised.

The revised program OF MOTORCYCLE
events at Bennings May 30 will consist
Of four races. the first of which is a
three-mile novice. open to single cylinder
motors and with gold and silver medals
as prizes. The others will be profess
sional events. of five. seven ard ten miles
each. the prizes being in cash on a
mileage basis. the winner of each race
receiving 50 per mile and the second
man So per mile. This program closely
follows the one use July last. which
gave general satisfaction. The mileage
has been increased somewhat. and each
race, being a longer distance than the
one which preceded it. the program is
expected to be more interesting from the
spectators viewpoint
The National Capital Motor Cycle
Clubs competition committee has abau-
doned the plan Of holding a twenty
five-mile sweepstakes event. although the
first announcement Of a long race caused
considerable interest in motor cycle cir
cles. Experience of past years indicate
that in long race the leading riders
usually lap one or more Of the contestants
and it is difficult for the spectator to
know who is in the lead. Shorter races.
it is believed. will be more interesting
and there will be less liability OF acci-
dents.
