"I rode the first bicycle in America. If any other man claims to have dono so, 1 would like to hoar from him, but I don't believe there is such a man." So says Mr. John William Tyler, of !l East Monroe street, Tho pioneer of tho millions who now flit on wheels all over this broad continent Is n middle aged man, well built, with dark hair and eyes. In early life Mr. Tyler was a gymnast. He is now a jeweler. Dur ing his apprenticeship as a jeweler ho was a reader of thc Scientific Ameri can, in which magazine ho one day came across a paragraph which Inter ested him very much. It dealt with tho improvements made to tho bicycle, or velocipede, as It was then called, by tho brothers Hanlon, who were sur prising Paris by their exploits on tho new machine. At this tlmo tho riding of a bicycle was considered rather as a gymnastic exorcise, to bo undertaken only by the very skillful. Thus It appeared to Mr. Tyler, and he at onco ordered a veloc ipede from tho advertised manufac turer namely, Calvin Witty, of 03S Rroudway, Now York, who had pur chased the patent from tho Haitians. Said Mr. Tyler: "After having waited about threo months tho velocipede came nt last. It came e. o. d. with a bill for sixty dol lars and a letter from the manufactur ers stating that I had given them their first order and the cause of tho long delay was their not being ready to manufacture. From the illustration of the machine I thought it would cost only ten or fifteen dollars, and I wns not ready to pay sixty. A friend, how ever, canto to my relief and paid tho bill, telling me that l could give exhi bitions on the machine and iu that way soon bo able to pay him back, which I did, there being plenty of peo ple in America willing to pay for the privilege of seeing a man ride a veloci pede. I hired an inclosed arena ami people paid to cotno in and see mo ride, and that fall I established a velocipede school in Wilkesbarre. My wheel at tracted much interest, became so pop ular, in fact, that articles in referunce to it appeared in a great many news papers." Chicago Inter Ocean. Oj'Htrr Time.
