One dar's experIence In Ilatenea park I

Thlt Is riot however the emily conclusion
that Is forced upon an Amerlcau observer
There Is a markcd difference In the liottIrO
all manner of ruling between English and
American wireeinttemm London rulers , as a
rule do not benl over their wheels , hut arc
erect In their seats , and the exorcise Is less
\'Iolenly conducted thln In Armierica. The
women are especially careful . In both re-
sects. They are as straight lS arrows and
are mor Intent upon riding gracefully than
upon having the exciement of hursts of

can riders and they tko their exercise with
less strain and vlotcnce. Time wheels commonly -

slructon , and designed for male comfortable
riding. Hunnln at modcrate Speed over
roads without hollows or ruts they are less
liable to wear out or to require rlpalrl than
the American machines. . Wheeling accidents
