"Doo" Mil- mine, Ory Ward, Joe Sullivan and II. C. Beebo left at midnight Wednesday, on their wheels, to make the run to Kearney, and bo in attendence at the state meet of the L. A. W. My suggestion of a big cycle parade is taking root among the members of the club and others and several schemes are on foot looking to the inaugurating of a monster parade in the near future. Keep within bounds boys and simmer it down to one parade. In that way only can j on make it a success. At the Kearney meet on Thursday J A. Bailey, carried off second in the quarter mile class A. C. M. Carter form erly of this city now of Blair, Neb., won 1st in the half mile open, class A in 1.10 1-5. and Eb Mockett got second in the half mile open class B. Up to the time of going to press we have received no information as to the results of yes terday's races. The significant fact that cycling is taking a front rank in the race loving world was demonstrated at Lincoln Park on the Fourth. During the horse races the crowd in the grand stand and on tho bleachers quietly watched sever al good contests and made scarcely and demonstration. During the cj cle races however they nearh went mad and the cheering was deafening. Miss Londonderry of Boston, the ound-the-world cyclist, arrived in EI Paso, Texas, a week ago last Wednesday. She will remain there until about July 15tb at which time she will ride north to Denver on her way home. Miss Londonderry is perhaps the only woman who has ever refused so many suitors for her hand, having "passed" more than one hundred and fifty offers of marriage. "Bicycle Chain Lightning"' is a prep aration advertised in this issue of The Courier by Mr. C, A. Wirick, who has tho Lincoln agency. I have been using it for a time and find it all that the manufacturers claim for it. It makes the chain run very smooth, takes much ess work on the pedals and has not a Iwhit of graphite in its composition. Those who try it will find that it will give the very best results and complete , satisfaction. Captain Frank Hoaglaud has called a run for next Wednesday night and has authorized The Courier to extend a cordial invitation to the Wanderer's to join forces with the 4C"s. The run will be out to the Advent college, thence north to Lincoln Normal, returning by way of the boulevard to the city. Wan derers will please accept this as an offi cial invitation. The start will be made at 7:30 P. M prompt. A moonlight ride and an enjoyable one. Mr. A. M. Hurd, who recently pur chased a Rambler tandem from E. R. Guthrie, spent the entire afternoon of last Sunday, with his wife, on their new machine. As Mrs. Hurd weighs 185 pounds and Mr. Hurd tops the scales at 226 a total of 411 puonds was thus borne by the tandem. Mr. and Mrs. Hurd were out again on Wednesday evening with the added weight of their boy 34 pounds, a grand total 443 on a machine weighing much less than one quarter that weight. "1 he photograph on the first page of While The Courier ejelo contest can hardly bo said to have opened yet, still there are a number of votes in for a number of candidates, and numberless questions with them. Everyone wants to know who is in the contest and the desire seems to be general to know the contestants names oven thus early. The list after two weeks stands as follows: FOR THE LADY'S WHEEL Miss Stella Kirker Miss Lena Brockelmeyer Miss Crow Mrs. Rose Cochrane FOR THE GENTLEMAN'S WHEEL Ray Lease Ray Edmiston Captain Frank Hoagland Julo Benson Fred Vule Harry Sullivan THE COURIER this week inaugurates another of its popular contests. This time it is two valu able high grade bicycles". GENT'S '95 MODEb VICTOR WHEEL, Value $100. LADY'S '95 MODBb SYRACUSE WHEEL, Value $100 These wheels are positively High Grade and worth all tho effort it will cost to get them. .,..., IMx Contestants must bo members of some cycling organization in this city. 'TDlie OoMLClitioias are as follows: Every yearly subscription to THE COURIER turned in by a contestant will count as ono hundred votes, six months fifty votes, tbreo months twenty five votes. No coupon will be counted unless accompanied by an amount to cover at Ieist three months subscription. Ami to the lady and gentlemen receiving the highest number of votes up to G p. m., September Hth, tho wheels will be awarded. WHO WILL BE THE WINNERS? Go to ork at once. E5r"The early worker has an infinite advantage over all others. I Miss Hattie Cook is riding an Over land. Tho Wanderers were out for a run last night. Miss Lena Brocklemeyer attended tho Kearney meet. Exley foiled the scheme of holding Shader in the pocket. Miss Cora Outcalt has purchased a new lady's Syracuse wheel. A. M. Blake left for Kearney expect ing to make a record on his new No. 10 Rambler. Is Bert Taj lor going to make one or Lincoln's fast men on tho cycle track? He rode exceedingly well on the Fourth. Twenty Cincinnati wheelmen will leave that city today, headed by a clergyman, for a tour through England, Scotland and France. All this discussion of what a woman shall wear on the wheel is fruitless an how. She'll do as she always has done, wear what she pleases. The B. & M. R. R. is advertising an excursion for bicyclists to Yellow stone park, in with a bicycle tour of the park 150 miles, leaving Lincoln on July 13th. Next week The Courier readers will have a gossipy account of the Kearney meet from the faber of a special corres pondent, which this paper had at the gathering. W. T. Banks rode an exhibition eighth at Beatrice in 13l8, which Tessier of Sutton followed up with the same dis tance in 13. Banks however did not ride hu own wheel. On Monday, July 15, Miss Ruby Prin dlo, accompanied by her brother, Will, will leave for a trip awheel to Cozad, Neb., a distance of over two hundred miles, on a visit to relatives. Next Monday begins at Asbury Park, N. J., the greatest assemblage of cy clists this country has ever seen, the occasion being the national meet of the League of American Wheelmen. The Capital City club's run next Sunday will be to Valparaiso, 25 miles and return with dinner at that burg, a m iffi "Money Saved is Money Earned.'' "The Best is always the Cheapest." These two Proverbs do not conflict but are snoDnious. They are condensed statements; meaning that the world's experience is that money is not saved by buying low priced goods. Bicycling is in its infancy but has given us two phrases equally true and equally synonymous with the above. They are: TRUTH PROCLAIMED. I "Get the Best." I "Get tlie RixVtler" E. R. GUTHRIE, AGT., 1540 O ST. prize in the half mile open class A, over 25 starting in the race. The races at Lincoln Park on the Fourth were productive of much merri ment. They were for blood and blood and blood alone. The bojs who did not go to Kearney were out in force and B. F. Hadley, E. H. Taylor, O. L. Shader, Frank Hoagland, J. S. Hadley, Harry Harley, Hank Peters. Exley and Carter were the entries. The one third mile was hotly contested and was won by Shader in 51 seconds, with Hoagland second End Hadley third. In the two third mile Shader again won with Had ley second and Taylor third, 1,51 J. In the mile race, which was the best of the three, Shader made a spurt on the last lap and again won, Taylor landing sec ond with Hadley in third place. Time 2.43. The crowd was good naturod and everything went off smooth!y. The Western Stationer states that a new bicycle tire is being tried, built on the compartment plan. The arrange ment is such that a series of chambers are produced in the tire, each Good Meals are needed by all athletes.
