An Inventor now claims to have found a
method for making bicycle flames out of the
liber of Calcutta bamboo wood , a lighter and
cheaper and stronger material than steel tubIng -
Ing What with chalnless wheels , pneumatic
hubs , a retu n to solid tires and wooden
frames , the bicycle seems to be as far from
Us coiruletcly revolutionized stage as ever
It was.
Francis Murphy , the tcmpcrince advocate ,
sajs that electricity and the blcjcle are doing
great things for the cause. "The motormiMi
mid conductors , ' he s > ays , "are keeping sob r
and the Introduction of elect-Icily Is to be
thanked for It ; " and "a man cannot ride a
bicycle when he Is drunk , and n man who Is
breathing pure air of the country receives
Inspiration without the use of artlflc'al stimu
lants. "
Bicycling for women In Germany has
taken a firm hold and there are now no lebs
than thirty women cjcling clubs tin the
fatherland. The German woman rides well
and slts > well , but she has not jet leaincd
the art of clothing herself giacefully , as she
cither wears huge zouaves almost down to
her ankles or very full knickerbockers.
Skirts arc also seen , but they arc not so
popular with German women as the rational
costume.
To the minds of a good many the same
Jules which apply to sitting In the saddle
on the back of a horse apply when sitting
on a bicycle saddle. This Is a mistake.
fit- While It may not be good form In horse
back riding to permit daylight to be seen
between the rider and the saddle , there
Is no set rule in this respect regarding
cycle riding. Indeed , there are times when
It la advisable to permit dajllght to show
when , riding a bicycle. To begin with , there
is o wide difference between the horFO
and the bicycle. The only similarity llcs >
In the fact that both are used as a mcanj
of locomotion. A bicycle Is much more
dellcata than a horse , and Its lightness pre
cludes the possibility of standing as much
of a strain as a horse. When riding across
rough places on a wheel If the rider sits
perfectly rigid In the baddle he not only
feels the vibrations more severely , but at
the eame time the strain on the machine
Is Ir.-roabcd several fold by the rather
eccentric motion of thewheelln going over
the ground. If the rider would rlbe up In
* hn xiililln sufficiently to make the wolglit
Lear almost entirely upon the pedals and the
front handle bar , the strain on the wheel
. would bo diminished slightly , and what extra
strain there Is would be more evenly divided
over the whole bicycle. A horse can. pick
his " , vay over almost any road , but the
bicycle has to roll over the road , and Is
subject to feel all slight depressions and
Inclines. '
According to an exchange the bicycle Is
feet heralding the emancipation of the Ori
ental woman. "In the bland country of
Japan , " It sajs , "the empress and the Im
perial women have adopted the bicycle , and
The mikado ha-
USB It every pleasant day
Jtlndly built for their e\clusl\e use splendid
cycle paths all through the rojal girdens ,
and there , screened from masculine observa
tion , the women gather to nnke the wheel i
spin round and round. The kingdom of the
blcjcle la cnlaiglng dally , and when their
almond-eyed cousins across the way take to
the sport , the tiny shoes and accompanying
torture will disappear , and the wheel will
bring Chinese women the happiness and re
form that It has brought so many women
everywhere. "
and long-worked-for
The Icng-looked-for
100,000 membership mark of the League of
American Wheelmen at last has been at

Is the bicycle now kins and , having beaten
the horse at the mile , will It continue to hold
pre-emlnenco and alwajs lead , or
will the horse creep up and break
his own record and that ot the
wheel ? And how much moic Is the bicy
cle record likely to bo pulled down , whit
will the horse record become , and what Is
the probable limit of speed of either for the
mile ? Thcfce are questions which are now
being actively dlsctiFhed In the sportlni ;
world. After years ot struggling , the wheel
liiw at last beaten the horse. Salvntor's
record , which has stood for hevcn jears as
the best speed for n mile ever made , except
by a locomotive , 1.35 % , has Just been lowered
In England by the nngllshman , J. W. Stocks ,
who Is one of the phenomenal short distance
riders of the world. Stocks clipped one-fifth
of a second off Sahator's mile , and In consequence
quence cyclists everywhere are predicting
that the horse Is behind the age.
Horsemen rather unwilling acknowledge
that the machinery of the blcjcle may prove
too much for their favorites The racing
wheel Is physical strength plus mechanism ,
they feay. while with the horse there h the
animal alone and nothing artlllcial to help
him along , that Is , In a running race.
House NOT KIACHRD HIS LIMIT.
However , hardly a man cm be found who
thlnKs that the horse has reached his limit.
There are still seconds to bo clipped oft they
contend , and the reason Sahator's record
lies been untouched for so long has been that
racing men and breeders have not given their
attention recently to running against time
What they are striving for Is to have their
horses win In competitions , regardless of
moments and seconds , , and since Salvator
made his great run down at Monmouth park
In 1S90 , on a straightaway track , especially
prepared for him , there has been absolutely
no attempt to lower this time.
mat tne norse can do It , conditions Dem ?
favorable , there Is little doubt. A story was
told down on the Hrooklyn Jockey club track
the other day. A veteran breeder and racer
was talking on this very subject. "Trot heat
1 ' 37 2-5 , " ho said , "of course a horse can.
Why , I remember what I'hll Dwyer said Just
after Salvator made his mile li'i 37M'You :
may call It fast time. ' I heard him say , 'but
that horse can do It In 32" , ' " It Is worth
noting In this connection , that though the
i record has not been beaten , the speed of
running horses , as well as trotters and
paceis , has steadily Increased. When
I Salvator made his famous mile , 1.40 , over an
ordinary course ( oval ) It was great time.
1 It Is exceedingly ordlnniy time nowadays ,
| and any number ot "solllni ? platers , " ( to
i use a turf term , meaning ordinary , average
good racers ) can beat it. Time and again a
1 horse that has no reputation at all , and
never will have , does a mile on a circular
track In 1 39 and a fraction , and there arc
rrany times In the 1-38 class.
This Is as well as a bicycle can do on a
circular track , even when properly paced
The honors , therefore , between the bicycle
end the horse seem very nearly even. The
great point that needs to be considered Is
the way the blcjclo has for several jears
past been pulling dcwn its own record , how II
does It and what the chances are of a still
further drop
LOWUUING THE UIOYCL.E ItnCOUD.
The gain in blcjcle racing speed has been
altogether phenomenal It has steadily
dropped since 1890. 1'arly In that year W. C.
Jones pulled the mile in 2-20 3-5 , from a
standing start , the custom of those dajs
What followed statistics can best tell. At
the close of 1891 the record was reduced to
2-15 still with a standing start. In 1892
the lljlng start came In , and 2 023-5 became
the figure. At the end of 1891 the twc-mlnu'e
mark had been lowered , arvl John S John
son , paced by a running horse , had clearei
the mile In 1.SG3-5. During 189-1 Johnsoi
made a record of nine seconds better , and Ii
1SJ5 Ilcrlo cut the time down to 1-402-5
The following summer It looked as If the
limit had been reached. W W. Hamilton
making the time of 1 39 1-5 Tills year , how
ever , his record was assailed C. A. Mc-
Duffeo lowered It cxactlj one secoml , am
later J. I'latt-Iletts , a famous rider of Kng
land , made the mile In 1 37 3-5. This stooi
until Stocks the other day passed the win
nlng post In 1-352-5.
No cyclers In America have a bette
knowledge ot the capabilities of the blcjcle
than A. G. Datchelder and "Kddlo" Ilald
Ilatchclder Is the official handlcapper of the
League of American Wheelmen , a cjcllnf ,

"The mile record 1s a curious thing to
talk about. Stock's mlle Is a greate
achievement than Sahator's for the reason
that the horse made his mlle on a straight
away track , and the man ran on a track
three laps to the mile , having to make twelve
different turns As a matter of fact , a fal

Ilald , like other cycllsls ot refutation ,

the lowering of records. "Certainly , I think
that Stock's time can be beaten , " ho sajs ,
"and the horse will be left out of slRht , 1 3"
or 1 SI I regard as quite possible time , con
sidering the perfection to which the mulll-

why thetT should be to the cj-cler. Hcmem-
ber how much the rcco A has been brought
down In three or four jeirs That was with
out the aid of pacing nnchlnes. Now there
Is a new irppartunlty to lower records

that on straight rim ? , you know ; there have
been rep-rtcd Instances of miles done In 1 16
and 1 18 on < x straight track , only these

of the record far bej-ond where the horse
can ever get. "
O'f ' the horsemen of the present day there
Is no man more ot an expert than A J.
Joyncr , Gideon's trainer. Joyner's vlo.vs upon
the horse against the bicycle ate short and
explicit :
"Under present conditions , no , " he says ,
"I think Salvator's tlmo will stand. Yon see
blcjclo racing and horse racing can't bo
falrij compired If j-our horse had tie wind
at his back all the time , If he Is shielded
from the wind as a cycler Is with his piclng
machines It would bo different , but ft horse
runs all alone. Yet on a ftfoclally prepared
track with a trlllo of a slope downward , ns
some fast tracks are built now , a straight
away track , mind jou , and with everything
In his favor , I think a ho'sc could be found
today 'who ' would 15eat that time of Salvator's.
It should bo possible to bring the record
down several seconds. The general run of
horses are certainly faster than they used
to bo. The onlj' trouble Is that none are
trained to beat tlmo now. "
Representing the west as ft Iralncr and
owner , though ho now spends much of his
tlmo racing east Is II. Hugeno Leigh , enor
mously successful recentl ; ' on the turf. Ills
success as an owner and manager of hon > es
iray bo best cppreolatcd from the fact that
he was the man who made a J25.000 sale ot
Kingston to Kecno about a : fortnight ago.
The \aluo of Leigh's opinion In a matter of
this kind Is that ho knows the great racing
Held ot the west as well as ho docs the cast.

At the committee meeting ot the city coun

posed bicycle ordinance came up for con
sideration again , Letters from chiefs of poi -
i llco of different cities where such an ordi
nance Is In vogue , giving their opinion upon
the benefit to bo ilorlvid from such an ordi
nance , were read and discussed at length ,
ncaily the entire afternoon being taken up
jwlth the reading of the letters and general
' discussion. The ordinance was finally ro-
feiied to the Judiciary committee.

Another racing beason Is about to pasB Into
history and , as was the OIKU last year , no
attempt has been made by either professional
I or amateur to lower and establish new btato
i recordH , regardless of the fact that during
the early part of the season It was an
nounced that there would bo several record-
| breaking attempts at the close of the racing
, beason. How evei , for some cause or
I other , these IdeaH have all been
I abandoned. and Nebraska haa few
recordu made , flyluj , ' start. against
time , to put on her slate this season Three
professional competition recordo have been
i lowered , and two of them have been put
where they will undoubtedly remain for some
time. These are the one-half mlle made at the
state circuit races held at Charle-s Street park
on September 11 by Cummlugs of Mare-ngo ,
la. , In 1:01 : 1-5. This la getting cloue to
world's record time aud U far better thna
the majority of the other states can claim
for this distance. The other is the mile rid
den by I'lxlcy at Charles Street park on
August 10 In 2 00 2-5. This IH another mark
that Is better than many of the states can
claim and proves conchihlvely that although
Uio Chnrkfi street track is a small one , It Is
ona of the fastest In the country. The other
professional leconl made was the ono mile
tandem competition , w tilth WOH lowered by
McCall and I'ixley from 2 13 4-5 to 2 13 2-5 , a
