wheel a few DAYS ago and thinking he
was an expert on his wheel was try

rounded the thirty mile stretch, so
say the pedestrians, as witnesses to
/ the event, his balance gave way to
small stone, which was not visible to
one making this speed, and suddenly
changed the riders course. The rid
er and wheel were picked up by sever
al aids and after some twenty-five

person of the boy he opened his eyes
and when asked if hurt said that he
had been dreaming. When told that
