The enforcement of the hlcyclo baggage
law in Now York Is not as gratifying to
wheelers ae they expected , At present the
law Is a great promoter of business for repair -
pair shops. The fastivo baggage smasher is
doing some lively pitching , and the machine
which oscnpes his clutch without fractures
deserves to be framed for exhibition. Tim
unashing of wheels In transit has become

matter into court , In al interview with a

everything In their power to nako the work
of the railroad companies easy and profita-

When a bicycle carries a man weighing
at ( cast 185 pounds , a large bundle of wall
vapor , a collapsible table , such as is used
t by paper hangers , a filled dinner pall and
a kit of tools , it might properly be called
a "beast of burden ; 'fhlels what a twenty-
two-pound bicycle tronsported over the gran-
its blocks of the streets of the bueluoes center -
ter of Chicago a few days ago. Those who
saw the load did not know whether to admire -
mire most the stanch little wheel or the In-
genuity' displayed by the wheelman In ar-
.ranging and balancing his mixed burden.
The vapor hanger , who pedaled through the
streets with his paper and tools , bad his
rolls of wall paper hanging ! n a sling from
bis shoulder. Ills table .was strapped to the
borizontal tube of tire bicycle frame with
n one endaetlekII twotfeet beyond the handle
.tbar. + Ills' dinner pall was tied securely to
the handle bar , and his kit of tools was
hung in front , directly over the forward
wheel. Apparently ho was in no wise in-
convonlencel by the load , nor did the table
r seam to interfere with his pedallug.
Rev : Charles Z , Goodrich of Plainfield , N.
J. , has recognized the value of the bicycle
as a means of grace and a1 Important adjunct -
junct to furthering the social and religious
work of the church in a town that is bicycle

from the pulpit of the Congregational church
that on the following Saturday afternoon at
4 o'clock the church would hold an outdoor

affair , the pastor szdd , for only those who
rode wheels were invited , but the rest might
folow on foot if they chose. Promptly at
the hour named Pastor Goodrich , tall and
muscular , and dresaed in a blue serge bud-
me a suit and a straw tat and wearing
trouser guards , gave the word , and tine cavalcade -
alcade of hlcyclo Christians started , Some
I of the Seventh Day Baptists scowled at the
I riders from a distance , but they were not
heeded. Thu party numbered about fifty ,
with the girls and women In the majority.
There were no bloomers ) n the party , and
only one divided skirt. Plainfield frowns on ,

Fine points about bicycle etiquette have
not been settled yet. It seems to be the
general opinion , says the New York Sun ,
lilet when you are riding a wheel you have
a right to address a stranger who may come
up beside you , provided you have really
senethIllg worth talking about. It isn't nec
essary , it oustom makes a law , to say "Dog
your pardon , sir ; and then make a specific
statement about some topic , and then say
'Goat morning , " but you have the right to
legin a general conversation , on 50100 hl-
cycle topic , of course , and continue to talk
as long as tune other man will listen , If you
era the loan addressed you have not the
right apparently , to say , "Excuse Inc. sir ,
lut I le not know you , " You must endure
.110 conversation until you 0.111 contrive soma
way to escape tire other fellow , if ho happens -
pens toy ho a bore. Of course , tills applies
solely to etiquette among men ,
Still there are limits to thte liberty of
speech and action , and this had an illustra-

'l'ImeIY tiVords of Clllltl1111 ( Ilven by n
I'hyslrian ,
A physclan ( , writing td , the New York
\Vorld , gives the following advlco hl regard
to cycling in hot weather :
With the advent of extremely hot weather
it behooves tie cyclist to have a care and
avoid tlio numerous Indscrelloos ( to which eo
many are addicted.
About tine first tiling noticed after riding
for soma time is an intense thirst. The
habit of stopping by the wayside and indulging -
ing in a drinlq of Iced water , ice-cold baer ,
lemonade or any 0110 of the numerous other
beverages kept in such places , is one of the
bad habits common with wheelmcn , The
cyclist ehoald sit down and get thoroughly
cooled off before drinking" anything that Is
cold ,
Many cyclists avoid an intense thirst by
chewing guul. Tills habit may bo indulged
in with perfect safely , provided the pure
and old-fashioned spruce gum is used. Itis
an open question as to which will Provo tile
more injurious to the etomach-tlle cold
drinks or the saliva impregnated with all
sorts of powerful flavoring substances contained -
tained in sane of the modern "chewlag
gums. " The process of manufacture of most
of iho so-called "gums" Is secret , s0 that one
carnet tell what lie Ls chewing.
It Is quite evident that the fair , fat and
florid people one sees on the boulevard and
in tile parks are not aware of the danger of
heart failure , embolism , apoplexy and varl
ous other troubles , or they would not go
pedaling along the roads and up the hulls at
the furious pace which some of them employ.
Such are out with one object in view , and
that is to reduce weight , Some of theta do
"lose flesh ; but they usually take it on again
whey they discontinue Wheeling.
] lkling ullhlil is always a dangerous thing ,
but particularly so In warn weather. It
0111.505 the heart to overact at a furious rate ,
and ths : overaclion , when continued for any
length of tlnc , must eventually cause an enlargement -
largement or dilation of the organ , with such
symptoms as shortnera of breath , rapid and
feeble heart action and loss of flesh and
strength. -
The wise bicyclist never rides uphill , lie
dismounts at the foot of the 11111 and wheels
Ills machine to the eutgmit , thus avo'ding
the risks involved were he to ride to the top.
Another danger to the health of the cyclist
lies in riding Immediately after a meal , The
wheel should never be mounted until after
the process of digestion is well under way-
say from an hour and a half to two hours ,
The eye is a'so ' apt to be affected as the
result of indiscreet riding , There are cases
recorded 111 which the vision was very materially -
terially interfered with through the rupture
of a minute bleed vessel. 'rho trouble in
each case was attrhuted : to "searching" in
1Iot weather ,
Long-distance runs should never ho indulged -
dulged in unless the cyclist has had a previous -
vious training for them , as they are highly
productive of the different troubles mentioned -
tioned above.
When one compares the number of people
who start on a "century nut" with the "sur-
vivors" it becomes quite apparent that a very
important percentage cannot stand the prolonged -
longed strain.
Another danger to cyclists-particularly '
those who go , tar long rides In the country-
is sunstroke. Ttl alway. hest to ride + before. ,
noon add liftei ' 4 , o'sloek in the "afterloon' !
The danger of unstroko is always much less
during these hours.
When seized with a feeling of exhaustion ,
fatigue , headache and faintness the rider
should discontinue riding at once and lie
down in a cool and shady place. Riders who
are subject to attacks of faintness and headache -
ache will do well to carry a"small quantity
of aromatic spirits' of ammonia. A teaspoon-
tub of this preparation taken in a little cold
water will afford almost instant relief.
Tile "run ; however , should be di continued
at once ,

Last Sunday morning the Tourists , who
have always been found loyal to the club and
ila lntcresls , fell In line and pedaled up to
Missouri Valley , la. , and back , reporting a
pleasant ride and a very enjoyable time.
Nothing occurred to mar the pleasure of the
trip with the exception that Ono or two
of tbo new riders found out that they had
attempted a longer ride than they were
capable of finisiling. The club register shows
the following parties registering out : Toni
Spencer , Fred Gul"Lier " , Fred M , Ball , Louis
Malone , L , D. Erlon , Herbert Id. Neale ,
John W. Parish , II. Gunther , C. Wlllo , F.
McCormick and F. W. Fitch.
There w as a party of wtlcehnle11 who feared
the usual rain which invariable accompanies
tllo Tourwtn ( Rainmakers ) , on their country
jaunts , alfi chose a trip over the Dodge street
caurso to that of a ride to Missaurl Valley
and the probability of coming 1101110 on the
train , which has always been the case in
the past , but stnco the boys made the round
trip to the Valley last Sunday it ie believed
that pethaps it is the turning point , and
hereafter all runs will be attended with fair
weather , It Is to be hoped so , at least.
Solve of the riders who went over ff a
1lodgo street course complained the next day
of not feeling well , Strange , after such a
silort spin , but as the writer chanced to ho
numbered among them ho icon not wonder
so touch that they felt like saying , "Oh ,
what a difference in the mornlngh" it la
not always the distance that a wheelman
rides that gives theni that "tired feeling ; '
but quito often the food and kind of drinka
that are Indulged In during the day has a
tendency to deprive 11110 of some
of his energy. To start with ,
each of the riders took a glans
of buttermilk and on reaching the other
end of the course partook of a class of well
water , supplemented wllli several glasses of
sweet milk. On the return trip via ltlmwood
park none could resist the temptation to
try the delicious beverage to be found only
in the cool , refresli'ug water of a spring
which itas become quite famous and to
which place scores of carriages are wont
to drive with jugs and other receptacles for
a supply. Other places wore visited , and
neatly a time was the glass of tvater proffered -
fered , and , it is needless to state , promptly
accepted by the weary cyclists after a few
01.105' ride over the dusty roads , Mud on
reaching the city a glass of soda water ,
phosphate or similar drink was indulged in
by all , and yet they complained of being
sick Monday morning. However , each of
them felt better ( so they said ) for the ride ,
and Ries Kreuso received many thianlrs for a
generous upply of resra w111ch was bestowed
npet iho riders on reaching ICrcuso's m111
at the other end of tllo course , wldch place
has become a favorite rendezvous for wheelmen -
men in general ,
-
Miss Annie Shelda , who is generally qon
shored quite a weather prophet , failed to
foretell the weather indications one eveuhlg
last week , and her friends wile were in-
v'lted to partake of 501110 choco : bon bous
must not feel disappointed , for it rained ,
D. J , O'Brien , who was appointed at the
last regular meeting of the Omaha League
Wheelulen as the chairman of the " 1890
Meet club , " to ho composed of League of
American Wheelmen members to attend tine
national meet to be 1101(1 at Louisville , IC ) . ,
in August , reports that a deep interest Is
being taken by league members and that a
rousing good time is anticipated. Any 0110
who is tllinking of going should see Mr.
O'Brien and obtain full particulars. Make
arrangements for the trip by engaging
rooms and other things necessary to Insure
comfort and pleaeuro during your stay. You
can't afford to miss it. If you're not a

The i , ration Day Roiid Race yesterday was a terrific test for both men
and w els-and the tact that every NATIONAL wheel that entered the race
finishe hvhthout a mishnp or break of any kind demonstrates that the NA-
TIONJ L'fs not only handsome , but one of the most durable. The five NA

that theyt were heavily handicapped over ail other wheels ,
