Crancer has returned from a visit to Chicago, and other eastern points. While absent Mr. Crancer suc ceeded in making arrangements for the extensive manufacturing of the adjustBble handle bar recently patented by him, one firm undertaking the man ufacture on a royalty of 50,000 of them. The parade of cyclists on Merchant's Day developed the presence in the city of a goodly number of "chic" bloomer costumes. E. R. Guthrie has just disposed of an other Rambler tandum, making five in the last six weeks. Capt. Frank Hoagland and Lieutenant Henry Peters have returned from a long and successful wheeling trip through Nebraska; Colorado and Wyoming. The boys rode more than two thousand miles while away and visited Denver, Colorado Springs, Cheyenne and Lodge Pole, returning via the northern route. They report having had a superb time. Alva Halley and Frank McCain were among the tourists who returned from a trip awheel last week. They made a trip down through southern Nebraska, Eastern Kansas and Missouri arriving home in time for the races on Merchants' day. They say it is the only way to 6pend a vacation. Several touring parties are projected among the wheelmen and wheelwomen of the city during September and Oc tober. The Journal of Thursday morning said: "Frank Hoagland and Henry Peters returned yesterday from a cycling trip to Denver. They claim to have ridden 2S0 miles in the last two days." Is the Journal not aware that these distances are not claimed but are re corded by the cyclometers on the wheels? A two dars rido of 230 miles, while aqove the average, is not a phen ominal one. On the return from the L. A. W. meet at Kearney last month several of the boys rode from that city to Liucoln in one day a distance of 158 miles; and a member of the 4 C's rode 74 miles lest Wednesday between 2 and G:50 P. M. The Journal "Personal" editor should keep better post JL Tne greater part of Lincoln's Class A men are expecting to put in the next week at the Hastings Reunion. There are four days races. Six events each day with a total prize list of 815,00. If the boys succeed in ridmg with the vim they exhibited on the home track on Merchatt's day they will probably bring home a number of the prizes. Joe Sullivan and "Bill" Benson are developing into a phenomenal tandem team. Their half mile in less than one minute and halt a second on Merchants day, while pacing Frederickson of Omaha, was a splendid performance. While not officially informed of the fact The Courier understands they have since ridden a trial half in a fraction less than the minute. They will do the pac ing at the next Fremont meet wnich ybcurs early in next month. C M. Hurd and wife and their little yne between them on their tandem are a familiar sight on South 17th sereet nowadays. The Wanderers are rapidly developing their permanent organization as a cycl ing club. New members are being add ed meeting and quite a deal of enthus iasm is being worked up. "Our" Barnett is again on the Nat ional circuit and Lincoln wheelmen are closely watching for his first record breaking performance; Every lady should have a jacket cor responding to her suit.
