ON THE WHEEL A MORNING RIDE tigated the question imagines. When Moses became a navigator, one of bis female attendants is called in the con temporaneous history a "tire woman. In fact the whole Egyptian race is spoken of, to this day, as "fellahs," which is evidently a corruption of "fel loe." A few years later, it will be re membered, one Pharaoh and his people were caught in a freshet, and the records say that the "wheels' ran over them. Some hundreds of years ago an English poet wrote "a cycle of Cathay." Shake speare speaks of "pedals swiftly moving." Of course he had in his mind's eye a cycler or cyclerees, while our old friend Virgil has a stirring account of Mr. Enaes "astride the rushing wheels." Cycling runB way back.

My morning, smiling from the kin of night! Your other lover greets you. Left and right There's a-twitter in the sunshine bold, The air is praying in the shadowy wold, Sole lord am I of all this realm of sight, These singing meadows sweeps, this proud delight Of ranking hills, these clouds just out of fold. Stoutly the sturdy road beneath my feet Rings me a morning welcome. Rise, my soul, The benediction of the eky to meet. Sound, color; fragrance, freshness mine the whole; Mine to receive, and haply mine to give; A kingly day, and kingly must I live. The Bicycling World. The bloomer girl is becoming so num erous that horses and spinsters have ceased to shy, and the boyB who cry "Look at the bloomers!' are becoming few and far between. Cycles are becoming popular as wed ding presents in fashionable circles abroad, especially in England. The relay rides to be made this season bid fair to surpass anything thus far accomplished in that line. Such rides do as much to call attention to the mis erable condition of many of the roads as anything that can be done. Good roads Bean much to all classes of people and surely there is need of a general improve ment all over the country. Walt Hunter saye an ambulance would have been a convenient article for some of the boys on last Sunday's run.

Ride wherever you please seems just at present to be the rule among the cyclists of this city. This should be inculcated in the clubs and among the riders not members of clubs, and be insisted upon by all who ride. Many wheelmen seem to have no idea that the rule of keeping to the right is a national one in the United States and that it is at all times obligatory, except in the event of overtaking others when the turn in passing them should be made to the left. Lincoln cycIistB remember this advice: Ride to the right. The longer a cycle is allowed to stand after a heavy run in mud, the harder it is to clean. It is best to give the machine a rough wipe down directly on returning home after a spin. The latest production of the cycle manufacturers is a tandem frame inter changable with the wheels of the cycle. You ride home, change your wheels into the tandem frame, and Io, you and your wife go out for an evening spin. ''It's a nice thing for Mill mine, Dean and some other fellows to exhibit so much enthusiasm for a run up to the night before the star:, "said Ed Howe the other day, "but I want to see them start once." "Ihe only thing I really object to in the nattily dressed wheelwoman," said the observant and susceptible young man, "is that she does all she can to make herself irresistable and then be comes indignant if one don't resist her." The Wheel Fred Yule will look like a "blue Btreak" in his new racing suit. "The track will be ready for the races of the 30th." So says Manager Holt, rri if 4rY.

It is not difficult if the pupil is under a competent teacher and we have one. Many do not ride gracefully because not properly taught. We want to teach a thouaand ladies this season.

Thirty-eight teams were busy the last few days and Mr. Holt would have put on fifty had it been necessary. But the track will be ready and the meet held at the Lincoln Park course. Every dealer in town is complaining of not being able to fill orders on wheels. The factories are, most of them, 30 days behind on their orders. Tbe Wanderers took another of their evening runs last Friday night. The start was made at 7:30 and the run was out to Havelock and return. About twenty of the members turned out, ac companied by Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Guth rie on their tandem. They returned to the city at 10:30 p. m. At Havelock the members indulged in a rest on the curb stone and partook of lemonade, soda water and ice cream. The Wanderers had a unique run last night, starting from the residence of Miss Louise Pound at 1G32 L street. It was called a "ghost run.' The return was made so late that The Courier cannot give a detailed account of it this morning. The Courier Cyclist was taken very severely to task by a member of the Wanderers last Monday for saying that the club was composed entirely of ladies. "We have a number of gentlemen in the club, about one-half the members," said the Wanderer, "and perish the thought that we would be without them. They are very handy on occasions.' The Cyclist made his escape and humbly apologizes for the mistake and he won't lay it on Eve either. Don't forget the run to Ashland on June 1st. There should be at least 100 wheels in this trip. On the first page of The Courier this week will be found the first of a series of half-tones of an athletic nature which this paper will publish.
