A Qorrespotllent of tire New York Tribune
contradicts tire report circulated In this
country to the effect that I wheelng hall run

One dar's experIence In Ilatenea park I
will suffice to con\'lnce the most 8keplc:1
observer that there II i rio eluelne In tire sport ,
of wheeling at least In London , and . moreover -
over , that the fashionable cl3sses are not
giving 111 a rational form of healthful ox-
rclse mlrely because the maSSES have followed .
lowell their carlco anti are del ivimrg as much
benefit and pleasure from I sri themselves.
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
speod. One may stand for twenty minutes
In Dater ea Ilrk wlhout seeIng a woman
bending forward on her hlcyclc 'fime men
are less careful of their 110sture titan the
women hut they are more erect than American -
can riders and they tko their exercise with
less strain and vlotcnce. Time wheels commonly -
monly seen are simiar to those used . In
4 tnerica . but slumnirher If anythln , . In can-
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
are very raro.
