That makes n game of bas bal exciting and

Another season has dawned for the cyclist
and another season has Ilnssed the portals of
the past. Exit 189 , enter 1895. The
country thoroughfares over which the cy-
clst has so lately sklinnted will soon be
draped with winter's snowy mantle . the
beautiful Indian summer , without doubt the
most invigorating Portion of the ( year , has
dwindled . the club house hearth becomes tbe
rendezvous of the gentlemen of the knlcker-
becker and "scorcher cap ; " again the active
cyclist takes his accustomed seat In smokers'
paradise and the club room walls hear igaln
Igaln
the time worn yarns of the season ngone.
The sun browned tourist has stored his
mount and returned again to the society of
his clubmates and regales them with the
hundr ds of Incidents and accidents of the
past season's work on road and path. Yes
the year has die and the year Is born-the
dead one has been one of surprIses. will . , the
newly born ' Infant be ! , counterpart ? , That
remains to' b leon' . I might be interesting
to IghtY'ldm over the accesses and Inci-
dents which transpired In 189,1 and made I a
valuable leaf In the book of cycling 11lstory.
Fill up your brier wed pipe , the dear old
companion of many ' a summer day's jaunt
pull up yotr lounging chair nearer to the
crackling grate fire and listen to the tale
which the cycle , editor has to unfold. The
year of 189- began with a cycle show , one of
the bet held ] , at which the wheels which
were to do duty for the year were exhibited.
Several new manufacturers mad their bow
to the public. and they have grown exceedIngly -
Ingly strong during the twelve months More
wheels were manufactured and sold .in 189t
than ever before on record for .n same
period. There hal been more actual blcy
'clo riding than In previous years Cycle
racing has been fostered and has taken 'a foremost -
most position In the world of Ifgltmate sport
There was only one large failure of firms
frms
engaged In the manufacture or traffic of bl-
cycles to enter on the record Nearly every
existing record on the path and road has
been cut to the satisfaction of all. The
rational costume for the lady cyclst has most
universally taken the place of the skirt , while
whie
the faIr cyclist has pushed her wheel Into
lie very ranks of the tourIst of the male
verauaalon The woolen and aluminum rim
has taken the place of the heavier steel ones ,
the diamond frame safety reIgns supreme
and - the weights have been cut down to
thirty pounds for the' roadster. The old
01
forty-pounder was relegated to the garret
along wlh its predecessor , the ordinary , and
the wonderful contraption of sprIngs and
cushion tires . A general reduction In the
price of high grade wheels was manifest.
Two classes of racing men were created , and
contrary to the croaklngs of ito wIseacres ,
these two classes furnished sport for thou-
sands. The League of American Wiieehmnen ,
'heelmen
while It has not advanced to any great posi-
ton ( numorlcaly , stands today a monument
to the energy and enterprIse of its ofllcera
and members and a powerful mentor or the
sport a protection anti a bulwark for the
wheclmen of the land and ever ready to fight
for the cause Many good roads crusades
were started In lie year by league men and
carried to a successful issue The great
cash prize league died a quiet death and Its
grave still lies In the field or wrecked ambl-
tOI unmarked A league of racing cycllat
cyclst
was formed and also al associatIon of cycle
manufacturers and tradesmen. Morl
thorough business methods were Infused Into
Infusel

hal become distInctive and great thierefor
Sanger Johnson Tyler , lilies and Titus dem-
onstratel their ability to stay lt the top ,

Plant of one of the largest blcy-

to book order from the doors of another
ructury. All lila ( In general Now with your

us locally . leglnltng with , the year one
cycling club found It necessary to give up
its comfortable cub quarters and take up
its Iloslol ' 01 the ( curb. Several new cluw
sprang UII within the city and the state.

woull ordinarily cause a failure or any tour-
naluent , the attendance was god and the
races splenI Idl run. UDal racu . and bicycle

cyclsts residing In the MISourI valley was
held at Dlalr and was I succe The Iowa

exceptions , placed a lower figuree. Cycle
tlctorlu were established at Kearney and

bee of machinIsts and salesmen Several now ,
firms made their bow to the local trails All
this , In conjunction with numerous minor
events of Interest , Inclusive of a sharp little
division election In which tM regular ticket
came out victorious
The season of 1895 bids fir to outshine Its
predecessor. There have ben several requests
for the publication of the state records In
competition at the coso of the season . An
attempt has been made to keep n compara-
tve table of state records , but owing to the
slack manner or reporting records the attempt -
tempt Is n failure . The Idea wn to have
shown Nebraska records In comparison 'ih
those of Iowa Kansas and Colorado The
Kansas records seem to b In a state of chaos

Never before were the quail so plentiful as
during the season Just closed. All the natural
good grounds throughout the state were
fairly overrun with them , and In localities
whore they ( have ben rarely known here-
tofure , they were to be found In COmpara-
th'o abundance the past tall . This I In a
large measure accounted for by the fact that
fac
for live consecutive feasons all the condi-
tons for multiplyIng hae been the very best
There has been no protracted cell weather
with the earth covered wIth snow , and the
summers have . with the , exception of the (
lat , been evenly balanced a to moisture
and dryfless . Consequently the bIrds have
enjoyed In unprecedented period of fructfca-
( lout . and have throve 18 never before In this
region. The quaIl dIffers considerably front

semi-domesticated bird . and shows a distinct
fondness for civilization . They rarely frequent -

lain sections. They are always to he mel
