Plans are aow in preparation by leading members of mho cycle trade for the purpose of Inducing congress to reduce the tarift on bicycles. This nmoveueut' , according to the Now York Suns the result of the agitation now going on In some foreign countries , where manufacturers are bringing all their power to bear on the governing bodies to increase - crease the duty on American maclihres , owIng - Ing to the fact that their introduction Is greatly hurting the trade of the native flrnms. As their only cause for complalnl is the tact that America des placed a prohlbl- live tariff on their wheels , lima American manufacturer la desirous of having this re- meved. The present pdnns are in the hande of It , ll. Wolff , it. I. . Colemnn , C , S , Dike- amen , and F. J , Stlnteon , who is time legal adviser of the board of trade. These amen are now drawing up A petition to congress , to which they will cpleavor to secure the signature of every Important bicycle Inam- facturer in mho Unlled , States. The petition will bo to the effect that the danger of lmev- Ing our foreign business injured by prohibitory - tory tariffs justitles a immaterial reduction hi the United Stales tariff on this article. The present rate is 45 per cent ad valorem , nod it is the desire of the American mammfac- turer that this shall be reduced to about 10 cents a pound , svhlch is less them the duly lnmposed on hnported nuachlues by the h a- tiams having the lower rates of tariff. Time cycle mnnufucturcrs further contend that the presemil tariff on cycles Is not now n source of revenue to the government , but would be hik ly to prove so at a lower rate. Time countries whose tariff on foreign bicycles is now extreumely high arc France Italy , Atts- trla , Russia , Sweden nod Norway , which countries may be hmduced by a more liberal policy on the part of , the American mnnnu- facturera to reduce their tariffs in couforum- It ) within time rate proposed by American mnnufucturcrs. Time manufacturers are cant fideuit that caimgresm will listen to their peti Lion and grant time , request they mince. A great many of timoso who rode lmigh wheels iii formncr days , women they know nl- muost every one they met mad a feeling of fellowship existed between nil who pushed the padnlS , think heat time eomradie spirit of the road has departed since time sport has ceased to be athletlc , and has became a pastime of time masses. There are tlnlly Incidents - cidents , lmosvever , that lead to slmow this to bu mil erroneous Judgment. A mau at the SUIe of a road withm n breakdown of any kind does not have to svnit .long before he Imes plenty of volunteer help. Put a dozen wheelumen any place tai the country or city , in a church or a cafe , aid , if none of then ever meet before , time wheelnmeu will stand together like sailors in ruse an nrguuugmt occurs. John Boyle O'Reilly once said that the three classes of ; nem who fraleruized most svere soldiers , convicts amid journnllsls. O'fellly lmad been ti each class and kneww all about it. had lie beau a vimeelmam he would have made a fourth class. In spite of the democratic character of cycling , as It exists today , the community of feeling is clot lost. Let a rider stop ei the boulevard or Riverside drive or Eighth avenue to light his haump , and tnke count of the number who cone along and say , "Want a match ? or "What's the trouble ? In view of the number of riders who are organizing bicycle corps for military service regardless of their summon prospects of ever being accepted for active duty , a western nmuker hmis produced a military outing model deslgued expressly for army use , It is of o3peelally strong construction , and without mummy nickeled parts , oven the spokes tieingg enameled. It is fitted with a gear case , es pccinlly built for It , and having Johmts ha- parrlous to min and dust. Special provision has been nmdo for attaching arms and ac- cotmtormells to the wheel. If a rider's knees ache after riding a short time , he may be sure that lie does not ride properly. Deuerally the trouble Is caused by too low a reach , with the saddle too far back. Those who find their knees getting stiff shuuid first look to time adjustment of their maehluas. If they try the saddle in front of lhu post , and sit so that the heel barely touches the pedal when it is depressed - pressed , they will probably have no further trouble Ono of the mnost common causes for chain brcakhmg is that riders go out in line ralu or get caught in a storm amid do not loosen the chum.1'imen the chair gets wet and full of grit between the joints It naturally tightens up , and if the strain is too great it snaps , On dusty roads the sane is true , Few riders swatch their chains enough. Vasolhmo smeared on any part of the framework of a machine-especially on the underslde of the bottom tube-will be found a useful tip , especially ou bicycles without null guards , as the caked mud wipes oft most readily w'illiout scratching the enamel. hiIH'l'Al II OF A GAT tt'hhilll1.1LtN , Nosy a % 'r , e1 Ilcrnusr of JIIMplirced Cnnlhlence In a Slim l'renelrer.

" 'All right , ' said 1 'that Is tar euodgh to suit me , ' and as 1 thought of his very thin legs acid his old wheel ) concluded that ho was not aware of time job that he had cut out for himself.

"That whole trip to Iianletvllla was like a nightmare to me. I lost sight of time min- later a dozen different times and I never got near rnouglm to ask hint to let up , i had to content myself with fleeting visions of his dtmster coat when he was good euough to slow up until I came In eight. I pumped away on my wheel until sparks flew ( roam lily Cyea mid I couldn't help wondering where the chap stowed away so much strength and vitality. At last. IIamlelvillu came in sight , and walling for tee was itev. Mr. Newark , looking cool and antired. I had a vision of a large glass of beer. As soon as I was within hulling distance time minister shouted out : " 'We ' made ! lint fifteen miles In a little less lhnu an hour , which lvas not bad , con- slderlug the fact that we are out of prac- tice.

Take my advice , old amen , If a slab-sided , dyspeptic-looking uminister from Newark asks you to ride a wheel with hhn , tell hhn you can't ride ; tell him that you never saw a wheel ; tell him that you think they are immoral and that you are paralyzed In the legs.

Pumping a tire is popularly supposed by wheehnen to he the ono piece of work in connection withn a bicycle that Is most conducive - ducive to perspiration , relates the Baltimore American , but a stout men in an uptown club says he line discovered somothhug that is worse , and he recommends it as being better for reducing flesh than pumping tires , banting or sawing wood. This , he says , is the fob of fitting a cyclometer to the front fork so that it will work properly. Ito tells a story of having worked tor more than an hour putting on his cyclometer , and then flailing that it weld not work. ; iIe is not the first man to have trouble of the kind , but in this Instance time sufferer tells a sequel to his experience that has more than a humorous suggestiveness. After he had reduced - duced his weight a couple of pounds working at time cyclometer a friend came along and tried to soothe his feelings by advising that ho start in smith take off the little instrument whose adjustment hind caused the original agony. The adviser advanced aim argument substantially spa follows : "If you put that thing on and get In the habit of keeping tab on it , you will become a haggard end fiendish scorcher. You will develop cyclonianla , have hrsomnia , lose your business and all your trfonds Now you are a healthy and sensible rider. De warned hl time amid take ore that cyclom- eter. I speak fron experience and sort. ously. If you slave it on your life will be- comae wrapped up fho wntchlimmg the record oil it grow. You will neglect your tumidly and evorythhmg else in order to well the record. I was a rational , genteel rider until the idea took possesslam of mime that as i rode a great dcul I should be able to tell my mileage for the season , and.l gal a cychmu- ctor , which I Ihatlered myself would be a nice lhhmg , I thought I was 'riding an average of eighty or 100 tulles a week. My cyclometer would not show any such avmuge , and so , iu order to salvo my pride , I felt obllged to tide enough extra to make it show what I hind hoaated of to myself and a tow others. When J got up to time staled average I became ambitious to get a nllc age record. I rode nights mid early hi time mornhigs. I neglected imy bushmuss raid all associates to get oft alone with that cyclon- oter , lu order to gala lhne I look to scorching. If 1 had not been mercifully run Into and imacl the infernal device with Its record smashed to pieces , I would now be in nu asylum. Thensls all time difference to the world between rlding with and without a cyclometer. Some can eslat their tengda- lions , wlmile others cannot My only hope is to { Hhun them , and timeretoro I give you warning solemnly.

The party will leave the Omaha Wheel chub rooms on Elghteentlt and Douglas - las promptly at II 30 n , m. All wheelmen are Invited to participate in the run , regardless - less of whether they are club members or not The Turner Iimdlnns will probably go in a body , and representatives of every club hr the city will participate.

A special tn- vltatlon is expanded to all tandem or other mlmltloyclo teams to participate lu the scorch , as Captain Micklo thhmks this sort of nmachine particularly easy meat , For the information of those who participate it may be stated that the cap- ta1tY will ride a wheel geared to seventy-four Inches , with seven-Inch cranks , which means that lie will be able to ride up hills pretty near as fast as on the level , and tills is just where he expects to shako imls coum petitors , On reaching Blair time boys will lay around in the shade ansl rest until dhi- ner time , after which they will watt to see time finish of limo Plescher-Muenterfcring nialch race , wlilch will be the second event on the day's program. This race w111 be a match race for' 125 a side between two of Omaha's best known racing non. The start will be made at 2:30 : p , am. from the Omaha \Vhcel club rooms , and the finish will be at Blair. Both of the nmcn have been training hard for the contest and as the roads are In good condition a record ride may be looked for.
