As these days come so rarely the read riders know how to take advantage of them. On the inside the club life is main- tained, and things are kept moring at a lively rate. The main business now is the change in the officers, and the preparations tor the more favorable weather of March, which is expected to he fair enough to per- mit active work in spite of the winds which mark the appearance of that month. Arlington Wheelmen, ‘The first club run of the Arlington Wheel- men for this year was made last’ Sunday to Dickey’s, at the Virginia end of the Great Falls, and, in spite of the inclement atmos- pkerie conditions, a number were taken out, including Capt. Frank C. Potts, Lieuts. Murphy and Quinn, Messrs. Rawlings, Whitson, Butler, Hartung, Stone, Rein- hardt, Mudd, Terry, ex-Capt. Ed. Clapp, on a Visit to the city from Boston, his father, E. D. Clapp, who is an ‘ary member of the club, and also three visitors. To the delight of all the riders talked to Capt. Jim Dickey, whose bituary was published in the newspapers several months ago, and who was one of the many to read the article. After dinner the boys repaired to the falls. Arriving at tee Foxhall road above George- town, candle and bag lamps were made out of an ordinary paper sack, and a com- mon tallow candie, which with care was kept burning, and which answered the pur- Roses very well. Captain Potts says that every fair Sun- day a run will be made, starting from 513 9th street northwest. During the winter season the time of starting on the runs will be at 10 o'clock. At the last meeting of the club applica- tions were received from Messrs. Harding, Miller and Boyd. ‘The club regrets the shortness of the y sit of E. E. Clapp, who left for his home in Boston during the week. Hyattsville Cycle Club. The Hyattsville Cycle Club is hustling things, in spite of the inclemency of the weather. At a meeting a few days ago the question of the proposed cycle path between this city and Baltimore, which will pass through Hyattsville, was brought up. The intevest of all of the members is cen- tered in the project, and all their assist- ance will be given toward the scheme. Officers were elected as follows: President, Holden; vice president, J. B. Burn side; secretary, J. C. Ellis; treasurer, J. G. Holden; captain, H. W. Gore. The captain has the aj-pointive power of his aids, who will be known as the first and second Heu- tenants. Chain and Sprocket Club. The Chain and Sprocket Club held a ting during the week, which was of more than ordinary interest, owing to the fact that the organization of the cycle board of trade and some of its rules were to be considered. There were thirty-seven members present, among the number being Mr. W. E. Crist, who is also a member of the cycle board of trade. Some of the | features of the organization of the dealers were regarded as arbitrary, and the club takes the initiative in the matter of ex- pressing its disapproval. Messrs. Maloney, Steele and Jerman were appointed as a committee to confer with the officers of the other cycle clubs, and secure an expression tin regard to the board of A second committee, consisting of reached. THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JANUARY: 23, 1897-24 PAGES. was alsc appointed to draft a new constitu- tion and by-laws. Both committees will make a report at the next meeting of the club, which will be held Tuesday evening. Altair Cycle Club. At the last meeting of the Altair Cycle Club the main business was the election of officers for the ensuing year. The competi- tion for the places was-not as great as ex- pected, and the new officers are as follows: President, Rezin W. Darby, who was unan- imously re-elected; captain, J. E. Hanger; lieutenant, Samuel Darby; secretary, Chas. Jones; quartermaster, Allie Craig; cycle board, R. W.. Darby, Ed. Hanger, F. Baker Weaver, Charles R. Murray and Al. Fisher. David Reynolds,-a popular member of the club, and Louis Praeger, a pedestrian of some note, recently made a trip a-foot to Baltimore, but the experience was sufficient to keep them from entering upon any other trip of a similar nature. The start was made at 2 o'clock Sunday morning, and the two expected to reach the monumental city before 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day. They would have accomplished this had it not been for unforeseen occur- rerces, which made them reach their desti- nation nearer 2 o'clock the following morn- ing. Praeger’s feet began hurting him long before Ellicott City was reached. He car- ried an extra pair of shoes and stockings, but this did not prevent his becoming foot- sore. He wanted Reynolds to return home, but he refused, and after a loss of several hours, he rode the remainder of the way, while his companion walked. It was after 7 o'clock when the city of Baltimore was The return was made a short time later by train. ‘The club has decided to establish perma- nent headquarters, and with that end in view the upper floor of 3143 M street has been rented. The new quarters will be renovated and put in a cozy condition, and, after that, the club will give a housewarm- ing. This will take the place of the annual club banquet, and at the same time give the friends of the club a chance to see and in- spect the club rooms. Capital Bi, Club. The Capital Bi. Club gave an enjoyable entertainment last evening at their club house, on 15th street, it being a special entertainment for the ladies and friends. Mr. C. Francis Jenkins, the inventor of the phantoscope, gave an exhibition of the workings of his invention. Mrs. Wil- son and Mr. Middleton rendered vocal se- lections, Dr. G. N. L. Hills accompanying on the piano. The evening closed with a pleasant dancing reception, in which the audience took part. the club banquet, Arrangements are now being made for which will be held on the evening of January 30 at the club house, and which is always made an occa- sion for extra merriment and enjoyment. Ratscher will be the caterer for the occa- sion, and tne feast will be good, with equal- ly good a program after the cigars have been passed around. One of the main novelties of the winter program is the coming cycle show of the club, which will be held in the handsome quarters, and which will be the occasion of the club members and their invited friends to inspect all of the modern makes Messrs.

The annual election of officers of the Eastern Athletic Club was held recently and the following officers were installed into their respective offices: President, G. A. Mansfield, jr.; vice president, George Gates; recording secretary, Mr, Bright; financial secretary, Mr. Jeffries; treasurer, ‘Ed. Raab; board of directors, Messrs. Fry- er, Grace, Grimes and Hutchinson. Mr. Eddie Hutchinson was. unanimously elect- ed captain of the bicycle club for the en- suing year. The gymnasium has been placed under the control of Mr. A. E. Marschalk, and is being thoroughly refitted. Mr. R. R. Revill, former president of the club, has left to accept a lucrative posi- tion in a Kentucky court, where he will remain for a year, if not longer. Captain Hutchinson of the bicycle con- tingent carried twenty-five riders with him on his inaugural trip last Sunday, visiting Arlington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon. The run was enjeyed very much by all. There has been a substantial increase of membership during the last few months. The Misfit Club, At the weekly meeting of the Misfit Club last night three new members, Messrs. Fred. Dodge, Paul’ Peckham and Walter Retlaw, were elected. Cycling in the club is being neglected, but when the pleasant season opens the boys expect to do a good bit of pedaling, and already trips are being mapped out. The club quarters are fitted up in fine style, and offer mary attractions to those who desire to spend a pleasant evening. RULES OF THE ROAD. Some Good Adviée About Passing : Vehicles, The rules of the road need revision. The number of bicycle accidents and ncidental- ly the number of vehicle collisions, seem to bear this out. With the large increase in the cycling world, the roads of the country are more largely used than ever before, while the streets of the elties, be- ing in many cases smoother of surface, the appearance of the cyclists is very notic able. Accidents and collisions as a natural result follow, and the reports of collisions between cycle riders and vehicles, between cyclists themselves, and between vehicles are daily appearances in the, newspapers. The increase in the number, however, does not increase a greater prapgrtion of the number of accidents; the; rgsult may be Just the reverse, but nevertheless the acc!- dents occur, and occur with,regularity, it seems. As viewed from the street. ear or a ve- hicle, bicycle riding, as a whole, appears to be reckless in the exffeme, and the twists and turns appear to’ be nothing ‘The Double Cros: short of madness as the rider maneuvers through a line of vehicles. There is a method in the madness, however, which in nearly every case lands the rider in the lead of the procession of vehicles. It may appear to be pure recklessness to the spectator, but the wheelman, used to such, takes it in a matter of fact sort of a way, and continues on in his ride. There are scme cases, where vehicles are fast closing up on one another, that the rider is forced to make the distance in extra fast time, and nine out of ten times he accomplishes it. His experience has taught him to gauge the distance with his eye, and if he thinks he is safe he makes the attempt. This conclusion is reached in an instant, and carried into execution the next in- stant, a loss of time, if only a fraction of a second, damaging his chances. He may slip up once or twice and get hurt, but that adds to his experience, though it must be admitted that in all but one or two cases in a hundred, or even a thousand, his swift calculation may prove to be wrong. The danger makes a good part of the fun for the successful rider. Seated in In a Predicament. his saddle he feels just as safe and as secure as a person sitting in a chair. He considers it just as likely that the house will fall down upon the people of his fam- ily as he does of getting run over. He makes the curves and dashes: around the corners in a style that shows his non- chalance and an apparent fhmunity from danger of any kind. To. the novice, how- ever, the feeling is just the reverse. While the experienced rider neven thinks of dan- ger, the novice is constantls afraid of get- ting hurt, or running into something, ana this apprehension is verifigd oftentimes. The novice may fear that he will run into the car, and with thisi thought upper- A Frequent Corner Dilemma. most in his mind, it appears that nothi will relieve his brain.of the burden uni he does collide with a car. This appears to be the characteristic of. the novice, Soon, however, he gets additional confidence in himself and more in his o soeig and he ould alw: ride. to. her .left, and keep next to the edge of the street, or the curb, If a wagon is to be he should being between the vehicle and his com- panicn, changing positiors as soon as the vehicle is left behind. In case of making such a pass, with another vehicle coming along on the other side of the street, the genfleman should ride in front’ and lead the way, end if there is any danger he should dismount. Under all circumstances, whether with a lady or by himself, the rider shculd watch the wagons that are standing at the curbstones, especially if headed in the direction he is going. There is no telling what moment the start may “made, end oftentimes the driver, with- out taking the precaution to look’ ahead of him, will pull the horse around and make a short turn, so shcrt and so quick- Brass Band, Fire Engine and Fight- ing Dogs—Good Place to Dismount. ly done as to make it impossible for the rider to get out of the way in time unless he is watching. Another disagreeable thing is the fre- quency of bicycle collisions at street turns. There is no regular rule for this matter, and common sense should play a very im- portant part. Wheelmen may be on the right side of the street, and if they are they can see one another in time to turn out the way. Suppose one rider were on a street, going north, he keeping on the right side, and another rider, going west, was on the wrong side of the street, both keeping close to the curb, the danger of a collision is more imminent than if both were riding on the right side of their respective streets. Another danger that has to be looked after is the methods of drivers of vehicles. If they would all observe the laws of the road it would be all right, but they do not. That is where the trouble comes in. If a driver is coming down the right side of the Street, and wants to go on an intersecting street, he very often makes a narrow turn, driving over to the left side of the street on which he is coming down. A vehicle or bi- cycle is coming up the intersecting street on the right side, and as the speed of both may be fair a collision ts imminent, where- as, if the first-named driver had made a wide curve, and traveled a little more dis- tance, he would have entirely avoided any semblance of a collision. More accidents peau from this cause than can be imag- ed. PERFECTING THE BICYCLE. Two Brothers Who Have Led in Im- _ -Brovements. Perhaps there are no two persons who have done more toward perfecting the con- struction of the modern bicycle than the Owen brothers, both of whom are well known in this city. From the beginning of the history Qf the safety they have been interested, and to them have been issued patents after patents by the government. The total outlay from this source aione would amount to a good sum, a snug for- tune for some people. And they are still keeping up their work in the same line, making improvement upon {mprovement. Of the brothers Herbert Owen, or “Bert,” as he is more widely snuwn, ! haps the best acquaintar $ and cycle riders of ¢ He has been away from ihe years, running a bicycle factory up in Con- necticut, but he is well rem2mbered here, and manages to keep In touch with all his friends by an annual visit. The other brother, Fred Owen, has almost as large an acquaintanceship as Bert, and perhaps a | broader one outside of the city. He has made this city his home for many years, and likes it so well that he will continue to reside here. Both of the brothers are thoroughly ac- quainted with the principles of mechanics, and their minds turn to an {nyentive direc” tion. The first invention that gave the brothers prominence all over the country was the invention of the drop-frame wheel, which has proved such a boon for women’, Bert taking the honors for this. After a run of some years new flelds have been entered, and another design for the frame of the wheel brought out in the shape of the pyra- mid or triangle frame, which will shortly be placed upon the market, and which it is claimed will permit the making of a lighter and stronger wheel than 1s allowed by the present frame construction of the diamond plan, The patents which have been secured by Fred Owen are now used on almost every make of wheel in the country. His inven- tions cover all parts of the bicycle, from the frame joints down to the smallest ar- rangements in the ball chambers. He has been extremely successfui in the matter of @ device for the axle of the rear wheel and the chain adjustment. It was he who invented the hook arrangement whereby the rider is enabled to remove the wheel in fifteen seconds, taking off the chain, without disconnecting it. This is shown in the first illustration, and was placed cn ex- hibition at the local cycle show last year. This year a number of recent inventions will be shown at both the national shows and also at the local show. The patents have just been secured, and already many of the leading cycle manufacturers in the country are negotiating for the right to use the same. The improvement is on the chain adjustment and the holding of the axle of the rear wheel. The rear forks of the frame and the back end of the diamond are not made in one piece, as on all other machines. ° The rear part of the diamond is in the shape of a brace, fastened under the saddle post and at the rear axle by new patented dome nuts, which give a pretty finish. The rear axle is held in po- sition by the hook arrangement, and the ends of the frame are so arranged that eNO eT Sa they can be placed in a number of posi- tions, as fllustrated by the drawings. A bigger play for the chain is permitted than /on any other kind of machine, in case the chain gets too tight or stretches too much. ‘The adjustment to keep the axle in position is arranged on the outside, or beneath the frame, more easy of access than the pres- ent style of inside the frame. Another noticeable and neat improve- ment in construction is in the rear forks, where as narrow a tread as desired is per- missible. All wheels of this year have a change in the lower rear connecting near the crank axle, to give a larger radius for the crank hangers, and also more for the main sprocket. In most cases the rear hangers as possible. The improvement of Fred Owen's consists in the construction of the around the crank axle are two pieces of cireular tubing, nicely jofnéd.'~ The crown of the wheel is made double, in symmetrical proportions, combining strength and beauty. The bracing patent is also another great improvement, all the connections of the frame being made on the exterior, and then nickeled. Where flush joints are made or the bracing done on the interior there are apt to be some de- fects in the work which cannot be d tected by the eye of the workman. Ever: thing may be arranged all right for the proper bracing, but at the last moment a mishap may occur, which, being inside the tubing, cannot be seen. som Cxcu CHAT. Cycling, besides being a healthy recrea- tion, has done more toward the physical development of the masses than any other branch of outdoor recreation. The cyclist is not only Inspired with courage and con- fidence, but becomes possessed of a quick- ness to act in an emergency lacking in the average individual. The seeming fearless- ness of racing cyclists in the face of im- mediate danger has often been remarked. An illustration of this occurred last July, at Charlotte, N. C., and is fresh in the memory of the many who witnessed the daring act. A young cyclist and his two friends, well known in local cycle circles, were in swimming in the big pool, as it is termed, at Latta Park, a popular resort of that city. Hundreds visit the place in the evening. The water in the center of the poo} being very deep, few, except the ex- pert, would venture out any distance. One of the Washington boys swam too far out, and in attempting to return, suddenly was seen to falter, then cry for help and go under. The bathers rushed to the shore, and no one seemed to know exactly what to do. It remained for the young Wash- ington cyclist to show his presence of mind, and ordering one to secure a rope he dived and swam to the succor of his friend. It was a brief and hard struggle before he managed to bring the man to the surface and then to hold him there. By this time a watchman had obtained a rope. and grasping it, he and his friend were hauled in. This is but one of the many examples where the courage of the cyclist has been proven. The secretary of the Chicago Racing As- sociation informs The Star that the six days’ cycle race will commence at Tat- tersall’s February 21. The number of en- tries will be limited to thirty, and it prom- ses to be one of the biggest ever held in this country. Unlike the New York race, the prizes will not be a percentege of the receipis, but will be a stipulated sum, $2,500 in all, with the possibility of the rider securing much more. The first prize will be $1,000; the second prize, $500; U $300; fourth, $200; fifth, $150; sixth, $125: seventh, $100; eighth, $75; ninth, $50. In addition to this general prize list, a number of special prizes will be hung up. The riders are all required to break Albert Shock’s old record of 1,600 miles for the time, and the rider who breaks Hale's record of 1,910 miles, made recently at Madison Square Garden, will get $200 addi- tional. If any rider is lucky enough to go 100 miles above Hale's record an additional prize of $250 will be given, and another $250 added if the record is broken by 200 miles. The rider who breaks the existing one-mile record by the greatest margin wi!l receive $35 extra, and a like sum will be given under similar conditions to the man establishing a five-mile record. For the best ten and_twenty-five-mile record, if broken, a special purse of $50 for each will be en, while $60 will be given for a new fifty-mile record. The 100-mile record, now held by Frank Waller, in a fraction less than seven minutes below four hours, is regarded as so safe, that a purse of $230 will be given if it is smashed. For a new twelve-hour record a special prize of $100 vill be given, while $125 will be given for a ew twenty-four-hour record. For the best forty-eight and seventy-two-hour r s, if broken, the prize will be $150 for What style of tire will be most popular this year? There was a big pull last. year for the use of single-tube tires, which came very near being successful. One heard of nothing but single-tube tires, how easy they were to repair, what excellent results they gave, and similar encomiums. With some the results have been highly satisfactory: with others they have not been so. As a result, those who did not secure such good results will go back to the use of the double tube. On the other hand, those who used the double tube praised it up for its many good qualities, but, as in the case of the single tube, there are some who have not found the results to be as satisfactory as anticipated, and they will probably make a change and turn over to the use of the single tube. Hence the advocates of both sides will receive additions to thelr ranks, but where the addition will be numerically equal on both sides is hard to predict. Changing the &tyle of tires is in many cases due to ignorance. A puncture is a very uncertain thing. When one is expect- ed it never comes, and when unlooked for is sure to appear. Some cyclists ride straight through a pile of broken glass and come out unscathed, only to run over a single minute particle of glass lying in the roadway all by itself, which will ac- complish the work. Some manage to ride almost a year without having a puncture occur, and though this is more attributable to good luck than anything else, a good many think it is because of the excellence of the tire itself. To others a puncture is almost a daily occurrence, and, as a re- sultf the tire is blamed. In both cases the tire gets the credit of something that does not belong to it, but more to the rider than anything else. The first class think that there is nothing like the tire they use, while the other class, using perhaps the identical same tire, will declare that it is the most abominable tire ever manufac- tured. This rule appears to hpld good in both the case of the single and double-tube tires. Of course, all this has a tendency to change the sentiments, and the make of tire happening to sustain the most mis- haps in this respect is apt to be the most forsaken and the least used. From indica- tions the coming season will, without a doubt, equaly divide honors between the two styles of manufacture. It does not look as though the single tube will have the same general use as last year, though it might have slightly the better of the argument this season. The growth of the pcrularity of the bi- cycle has been the cause of a good many new industries, several of which have ap- peared in this city. Another is on the horizon. A moverrent is on foot to estab- lish a co-operative repair association, in which the bicyclists themselves will be the stockholders. The plun of the new company places the capital stock at $5,000, and contemplates doing everything but making and selling wheels, though the projectors entertain the idea that if neces- sary they can construct a wheel to order for any person that so desires it. The company has not been organized, and as soon as tkis is done, articles of incor- poration will be filed, and a suitable lo- cation for transaction of business secured. The shares of the company will be placed at $10 each, and the stock will be circu- lated among the local whcelmen for sub- scription. Letters have been sent to all of the clubs In the city inviting the help of their members in the enterprise, which is started by local people. If the.company starts out it is expected that it will get one-ralf of the work of the cycle dealers in the city, and this is deemed sufficient to keep it on a psying basis if no other work comes up. There are a good mary who entertain the idea that there will be a war to the knife this season between the cycle riders and the cycle dealers, growing out of the recent organization of the local board of cycle trade and the adoption of its con- stitution end by-laws. The general im- pression seems to prevail that the rider will have to do just as the dealer telis him, or do nothing at all, In other words, he will heve to sell his wheel for so much when pu a new wheel, or else not dispose of his old wheel at all. This idea may be dispelled by the w. of the clearance house, the organization of which was published in The Star two weeks ago, and which created considerable comment. One good thing adopted by the organiza- tion is the offering of a reward of $10 for the recovery of every stolen wheel in the city, provided it is of the make sold by any of the deal in the board. This sum will be paid to any one, outside of a dealer or the owner of the machine. It is supposed that this will have a teadency to diminish the thefts of bicycles, and scare covering the wi viction of the thief, the reward money will most likely be turned into the police re- Hef fund, the unable tc accept the money under the rules of the police manual. — Cure for rkeumatism er neutalgia, -Buy-a 25c. bottle of Salvation Ol and use it according to di- rections.
