1t started when the superintendent
was recounting "reminiscences of the long
ago days when he used to ride those
high wheeled bicycles that one sees so
seldom nowadays. Someone offered to
wager quart of grape juice that the
superintendent couldn't ride a high
wheeler now. If the proposer expected
to see the narrator of the bicycle stories
back down he was mistaken, for the
offer was promptly accepted and the
wager posted To-day the little knot Of
listeners turned sleuths and began a
hunt for the high wheel bike that SUI
perintendent G. f. Millar of the Con-
solidated Lighting company is to ride to
Depot square and back to city hall Sat
urday afternoon. Mr.. Millar insists
that the bigger wheel of the vehicle on
which he is to perform shall have a
wheel base of SO inches. The ways and
means committee has been hard put to
it to find bicycle of that description,
but at noon to-day the wheel was found
in an abandoned hay loft on upper Elm
street. Its discovery means that the
die is cast for Mr.. Millar. The wheel
will make its maiden trip with Mr.. Mil
lar aboard tomorrow afternoon, but in
the meantime the curious may see the
ancient bicycle on exhibition in the Til
den Shoe company's window after 6
| O'clock This evening
