There is a decided objection on the part or the local boys to putting in a tandem for pacemaking. They claim that the pace will be entirely too hot for them to stay with. Employing tan dems, however, is considered a bright move on the part of the management. With tandem pace-making the spcta tors can expect a good hot pace from start to finish. The new track, after the recent rains, is in periect condition and tnere is no doubt in my mind that test time will be made in every race. A large delegation or Omaha cyclists are expected to be present and the merchants will, ere the dav in nvor. mm tn thn conclusion that the joining of forces with the 4 Cs in their annual outing was a good thing, and one like tho bicycle itself worthy of being pushed ajong. Myron Wleeler is spending his vaca tion at Spirit Lake, Iowa. What has become of that Rambler Club? Have they quit riding? TnE Courier's cycle contest is creat ing a deal of interest and the contestants are developing some hustling qualities. There are at least twenty individuals in this city who are contemplating en tering the field for the sale of wheels next year. The attaches of the E. & M. route office in the city are riding together under the name or the Burlington Route Cycling club- With the races on the loth, the two day's meet during tho county fair and the b!K national circuit meet on Oct. iu, mere win will bo "dead oodles" or Cycling BIort in tho cit' th5a year. The track at Lincoln Park is being kept warm these days and our homo bojs are putting in somo good time at training. H tho visiting contestants on Merchants' Day capturo any or the prizes they will have to ride for them. Capt. Frank Hoagland and Lieut. Henry Peters left last week for a trip to Denver.

The Courier hopes to have a an ac count of Miss Prindle's return trip in the next issue. Mr. C. A. Wirick advertises in this is sue the new U. S. Cyclometer.

THE GONT0ST ON IN EARNEST. The workers in the contest are getting in earnest as time rolls on toward the day when the wheels are to be awareed. The ladies are making a strong tight for that crimson Syracuse wheel, and even the boys who have hitherto been lethar gic and who have made slow progress seem to have put forth extra effort the past week toward winning that '95 Victor. There Is considerable change in the figures this week, some have moved -up, others moved down, some have makle big gains, others not so large.
