While the conservative dealers declare tilat they have disposed of all their ' 9 output , they confess that the conditions In the trade tienmatiti that the vrtco of bicycles must Come down to a ct sc'hetitiio. There has been some tuilk of an Informal conference - ference between three or four of the leadIng - Ing makers to deterrnino upon prices for next year. The gradual reduction In prices of the icading WhIcels froiim 125 to $ T and the enormous tielnand for machines costing from $00 to 7fi have proved to the big nlak- crs that ifletiltilu Iriced WhIceis will be the bicycle of the future.

At the Itresent time a majority of tile leading inanufuettirers maintain IL dis- erect silence in relation to the ilrico schtl ule for ' 09 , being reluctant to set any ofli- cliii figures until they 1(110w the idans of their competitors. Ilicycie runs are becoming more popular , but tIle ClUb run is fatling away. This seema pai adoxical , but it i tito trtith. A "run" cati probably be ( bOned as a bicycle ride to 1) given poilit and back iti which certain lersons have agreed to participate , starting and rettirniilg at. a specifleti time. Trips of tills kind are being male every day by thou- Sailtis of riders In iartlcs of from tvo to ten , but the club run , scheduled a month ahead , posted on tile bulletin board and ad- vertired by postal cards to members. is , according to all testimony , losing Its grip. Cycling has become too popular and too comnlon a , pastinio for organizations to fig- tile 11 $ prominently oti the m end as in bygone - gone days. The ' glory of the club ruit has departed. Another fact that uigtires In tile cause of this condition is that the bicycle Citli ) has met so alucll of tile special character - acter that it possessed In the time when riders were only a smali class Of the POPU- muon and were forced by environment to form cliques and organize. Th average wheeling citmi , is taking on more anti more the cilaracter of the vurely social club. The members do not feel to be so emnpimati- caliy boulld to a inutuai interest.

When the notice of a club run appears on th bulletin board It ecites no Interest except among the particular set that usually go OII the olflcial runs. The other active riders in thto organization form themselves into coteries - tories for private rtins of their own. A wheeiinan writilIg from Soutil Africa do- dares that cycling is making great advances in that country , where several years ago it received scant attention. lie conlinents 011 tIle geilerat cycling interests as follows : " \Vhero formerly ox wagons used to track their way over tile veldt , tile progress of Clviiizatioll has nOY nlatie way for men and WOilteil to itItitilgo in the sport of cycle rid- log , not OlIly in the large towlIs , but everywhere - where ill the country , from Cape Town to the Zamnbosi 8111 Ugunda.
