Prices of the Italian machine run from $70 to $100, gahy.ebaut one-fifth of the wheels in in {taly are of home manufacture, rest-being English and German makes, and ft is the general opinion of wheelmen that.a good: bicycle cannot be obtained for less than about $130.

The consul aiso suggests that it might be well for Americans to ship the parts, of the, wheels to be assembled in @ workshop to be established in the north- ern part of Italy, whereby a considerable part of the duty might be saved. He further suggests that the wheels be sold ‘on the installment plan, as there are few would-be. purehasers with ready money to pay for one all at once. SOME CYCLE CHAT | but, Re use ‘The question whether the use of a-hara | 5 saddle is injurious has been settled by Dr. L. C. McElwee of St. Louis, Mo., who has been interested in the subject for some time Past. To Increase his knowledge he joined ® century club, and while out on the was able to gain a good deal of informa- tion. He gave the result of his observation before a recent medical society meeting ‘Mm @ paper which fully covered the subject. He prefaced his remarks by an emphatic statement that cycling is the best exertisé optainable for the general people. Among other things he sald: “I bave found that a great many riders had noticed or complained of some kindof inconvenience. I also found a considerable number who had no complaint to make;ia0 ratter how long the run. Many at first said they had not noticed anything, ‘bet when pressed for details of how they felt after a ride of ten or twenty miles I learned that all complained of chafing or irritation of the skin where it came in contact with the saddle.

These, in ad- dition to having their expenses paid by ‘their college association, may race at any meet while representing a college. If they enter, however, as individuals, they must comply with L. A. W. rules. This tsan important decision for college cyclists, as many of them live more than Ferry, by rail, thence ride for a mile or a century without injury and return, sterting i 3 or serious inconvenience. “The ideal saddie, according to my “éx- pertence and observation, is one having an unyielding base, with the cantle, nose ‘and all in, one rigid piece, which in turn rests upon the spring.

A remark- able coincidence is that this is modeled after the principle of the old McClellan army saddle—an unyielding base with a smooth top and a ventilated perinaeum. “With this construction one can sit in any position cn the saddle at will and ride with absolutcly no fear of injurious pres- sure, unless one gets too far forward. The antithesis of the saddle mentioned is eas- fly recognized. First, negatively, because from holding a place on the college team if the L. A. W. rules were strictly adhered to. The league is wise in its dealings with college cyclists, and fn view of the fact that the littlé plece of string by which it controls them is very weak it makes a virtue’ of necessity in conceding everything possible.

It was quite late in the day when homeward trip was made. The members of the club were shown a good deal of cour- tesy by the oriole wheelmen. chitect seems to have been largely spent in divesting the saddle of every element of its make-up except top and spring, the result being after tt has been ridden a while it resembles a sway-backed cart horse, having sides quite as gaunt, and, when astride of, is about as comfortable as a ship's cable. In fact, one does not ride upon the ordinary bike saddle, but merely rides astride of it. The deduction from this is that there is no bicycle sad- dle preper to ride for any length of time except a hard saddle. The others are classed under the general head of “soft,” which includes the various pneumatic sad- dles. In order for even these to be ridable they must be blown up very hard, and the original point is sustained. “One must become accustomed to a hard saddle the same as one must get accus- the assistant road consul.

There ts such a decided opposition to the idea of such an event that the mat- ter has not been talked of by the members of the cycling contingent. This practical conclusion will virtually mean that no meet will be held at all this season at Van Ness Park, unless the grounds are given free to some charity for the purpose of holding a race meet. This brings to mind the fact that the construction of the fifth of a mile track by the clyb never did prove a pay- ing investment for the organization, and the construction of the International Ath- letic track practically killed it. Last Sunday about twenty-flve members of the club, under Capt. Stiles, took a run to Dickey's, at the Virginia side of Great Falls. The trip proved very enjoyable, as the day was excellent and there were no mishaps, one of the main things being the serving of the usually sumptuous dinner by Mrs. Dickey.

A. W. members of Northeast Washington was held Thursday evening at the residence of the local con- sul, A. Girouard, of 115 10th street south- east. Seyeral members from Southeast Washington were also in attendance. A temporary organization was made, and at the suggestion of Chief Consul Robertson it was decided to hoid a meeting at the same place on next Thursday, April 22, at 8 o'clock, to organize a subdivision com- prising the southeast and northeast, which will be known as the East Washington Subdivision, L. A. W. The whole will be in charge of Mr. Girouard as local consul. At the next meeting a secretary, road con- suk and neccesary committees will be ap- pointed. All members of both sections are ‘vited to attend the same. The purposes of this subdivision will be to take charge of all wheelmen residing in the eastern sec- tion, and to generally hustle and build up the membership of the organization in that particutar locality. FOR WOMEN CYCLISTS builcing, the sawmill, the sash and door manufacturer, the carpenter, the painter, and the plumber find a market for material and labor. If a bank discounts a note which proves worthless, the money, while @ loss to the bank, goes about on its mis- sion and {s not a loss without somebody's gain. Mud knows neither friend nor foe. In the natural organization of matter mud may have a place, but that place is not in the rcad. “The whole country is aroused as never before over the subject of better roads. The necessity for such improvements is everywhere admitted. No one says nay. Public sentiment having become settled on this point the agitation of the question may now be directed to some feasible plan for obtaining money to make good roads. The road tax ha® been doing its work ever since civilization taught mankind how to use the shovel and the hoe. But the road tax has not made much headway in making perma- nent roads. It has made more mud, but few better roads. It is idle now to even seek to place the blame anywhere. It mat- ters not who is at fault. The road tax is all right, and it is the equitable method of: raising money for road purposes. A dif- ferent plan of finance is what is wanted. Not more taxes. Not more money. “My plan would be to borrow money cn a long-time bond at a low rate of interest and vse the taxes to pay the interest and prin- cipal. To do this a great many people will, have to conquer their prejudice and listen to a kind of reason and argument that they turn from now with a solemn shake of the head and the exclamation: ‘No bonds, if you please, and no debt for road building.” But this plan of anticipating the payment of road taxes to obtain the means of build- ing roads does not depend entirely on bor- rowing money of the government. It can be borrowed of capitalists and associations engaged in ioaning money, though the ina- bility to borrow on long time at a low rate of interest might reduce the number of miles of road a township may at one time undertake to build.

Before the instructor was at to give advice and time is passed for that when the rider masters the bicycle. It is well perhaps to make it a point never to ride out alone at first, until the rider is familiar with the wheel, and that her safety depends entirely herself, and rot upon the machine. are many timid women who need the hand of a per- son to help them through the first stages of bicycle adoption. Let them not hesitate to ask some friend or brother. A man is never happier than when he feels tha’ he ts in- dispensable. The mere thought that a skillful hand is near is a great helper in first learning to guide the wheel, and the courage to ask for help will nearly always bring ft. Amongethe many things desirable of ac- qviring is to dismount from either side. One never knows when the occasion may arise that will require you to alight out of the usual way, and to be unable to do so may mean a severe fall. Therefore, take an afternoon off and acquire the art before the reed arises. Jewelers feel the effects of the bicycle fever. The young man who a few years ago, saved his money to buy a watch now invests it in a bicycle. The young woman who was wont to save her pin money for jewels with which to decorate herself now devotes it to payments on the wheel she rides and in the purchase of articles of ap- Parel suitable for wheeling. The women's attire awheel is as varied as are their Street costumes. Some wear the divided skirt, underneath which they wear leggings of vari-colored material. A light buff ts a favorite color. Many exceedingly chic and dainty costumes are seen in the parks and on the boulevards. Some affect velvets, which, when unsotled, are mch in anpear- ance and exceedingly becom! upon petite figures. But a sudd: wer or a few splashes of mud thrown by the wheel upon the back bring ruin upon the outfit and mortification upon the wearer. Woolen costumes, however, built either on the bloomer or knickerbocker design, are most in vogue. Bloomers had a great run for awhile, but have been gradually disap- pearing of late, but the knickerbockers hold their own. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS Eddie Bald, who is in training at the Fountain Ferry track, Louisville, Ky., has as his helper Otto Maya, who enters in the sport and gives the champion some very herd work. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who is an enthu- siastic advocate of the army bicycle, says that there is now in preparation a bill to be presented to Congress, providing that each fort and military organization in the country be furnished with ten bicycles, and that competent men be drilled for spectal duty that may be accomplished on the wheel. In a recent article over his own signa- tire, Tom Cooper says he “will hope and p:ay that the league, or whatever body is to have control of racing, will establish scme system which will show to every one’s satisfaction, when the season is over, who is entitled to the claim of champion bicyclist of America.” Owen Kimble is anxious to get a match race with Bald at Louisville before the sea- son opens. Bald prefers a paced race, while Kimble is anxious to ride an unpaced race, either from the scratch or starting from opposite sides of the track. There were eight members of the Century Road Club of America, living in Baltimore, who have secured honorable mention this year. They are S. M. Warns, with a total of 126 centuries; Charles B. Balke, with a total of 8¢ centuries; J. R. Dunlop, * A. Graham, 57; William H. Schligh, jr. 0; Emil Decker, 24; William H. Powell, 23, and Alfred Ely, i4. John West, the trainer of Arthur Gardi- ner, was recently married at Louisville, Ky., to a sister of the wife of B. W. Twy- om a on of some reputation. ¢ ‘saac Potter, the president of the league, bas been selected as referee at a recent meeting of the executive committee of th Intercollegiate Athletic Association, for the arnual meet of the association, which wiil be held June 5, at Manhattan Beach. W. W. Hamilton has at last been signed by the same firm that employs Cooper, so it is authoritatively announced. He will be handled by John Checketts, and ride almost exclusively in the west. Corbett, after his defeat, and while at San Francisco, took a spin around the in- door track at that place, which frightened him considerably, and as he dismounted from his wheel he remarked that he would - rather take another of Fitzsimmons’ blows than repeat the performance. The suit of E. N. Roth of Chicago the Century Road Club of America will be watched with interest by people all over the country. Roth claimed to have ridden 34,388 miles on the road last year, but his claim was not allowed, hence the suit. An interesting case as to the liability of bicycle manufactures for injuries ruceived ak angst in consequence of defects in a wheel was commenced a few days im the first sessions of the superior cere y Boston. The plaintiff is H. G. Bachelder, a printer, and the defendants are well-known Manufacturers of a high-grade machine. the defendants the wheel broke and he was thrown to the ground. His collar bone was broken, and he was otherwise seriously injured. The defense is that the plaintift accepted repair of the bicycle in lieu of all ages, Louis Gimm has accepted the challenge of Ghas. W. Miller, the flying Dutchman, who recently finished second in the Chi- cago six-day race, for a twenty-four-hour match, for a bet of $1,000 a side. Bald will evidently have his hands full this season in match races, in addition to the regular competition events in which he will participate. With Cooper and Sen- ger already accommodated, the talk of Zimmerman being in the list, Billy Hamil- Eden, the Belgium crack, and a whole lot of others, Americans and foreigners, he will have a pretty hard tussle to come out in the lead again. O. B. and A. L. Hachenberger are each ready and willing to ride in a series of match races against W. W. Hamilton, and as the last-named rider is perfectly will- ing the thing should be consummated. O. B. Hachenberger was defeated twict out of three times last season by ton.

His appointment gives satisfaction. 2 Coach Cowles, who was in charge of Co- lumbia's rowing interests, @ great is Hever in cycling as a preliminary course for his and Cooper are south getting ready for hard work. —_———_—_ Under Difficulties.
