A LFiiBUCpkDAlBN BALLOON ASCENSIONS f Q A t. PROP. LEWIS IN 8UMMMERSAULTS AND DIVING
not yet Je found to work belter than
balls 'UBflo-a load. It is accord(nc to
good mecBanicaJ law to suppose that
to getJlie,- bfst possible results the
bearing of a wheel should "bear" the
entire length of the hub. Ve under
stand that a number of "makers will
tentatively apply modern elaboration
of this principle to bicycle wheels an
other year. The fact that the. English
retain the gear-case argues for Its
eventual adoption here. Full exposure
of the chain to the. dust and dirt of the
highway must be regarded as a me
chanical absurdity. The English con
sider the gear-case an "extra" to be
paid for as such. To admit of its use
a slight departure from present Amer
ican models would be necessary. We
look to see American adoption of the
gear-case pioneered by a maker cc two
in the near future, but hardly expect
that this much-needed accessory will
be generally included among the Im
provements of S7.
While some lines of business are
complaining of the 'inroads being made
Into their trade by reason of the wide
spread bicycle craze, the proprietors
of the famous whaleback passenger
boat. Christopher Columbus, that first
appeared during' th world's fair in
Chicago, have arranged In a novel
manner to take advantage of the very
diversion that others are suffering
from. Their boat has been at West
Superior, Wis., all winter, undergoing,
repairs and when she started for Chi
cago to resume her summer excursion
route between Chicago and Milwaukee,
announcement was made of the fact
that a bicycle track had been con
structed on the lower deck of the ves
sel fee the use of riders while on board.
The track goes clear around the ves
sel, and is fifteen laps to the mile. The
innovation has caught on with wheel
men, and to further acquaint them
with the unique Arrangement and
popularise the pastime on shipboard
the management offers prizes during
the season for the person making the
greatest number of miles while the
boat is in transit between Chicago and
Milwaukee.
A true Kentucklan is nothing if not
sangHine. The league of American
Wheelmen numbers today over fifty
thousand members. By August this
list, at the rate it has. been increasing
during many weeks past, will swell
close to the hundred thousand mark.
The Kentucky wheelmen expect that
every one of these iee.606 members will
attend the national meet In Louisville,
and that every member will bring a
friend or two with him. They are
wis ki ngpreparatlQB8 on the same scale
as their expectations, and so energeti
cally have they worked that little more
" 1 1 . "in
remains to bedone. The. money neces
sary" has jrbeen raised," transportation
has, && looked 'after, headquarters
have, been. procured, hotels and board
ing houses have been listed, races have
been arranged that will bring together
the best men In the country, prizes
that will Induce the racing men to do
their best have been secured, and a gi
gantic program of the entertainment
for the visitors has been fixed up.
Maher has been matched with
Choynski, the fight to come off some
time in the latter part of this month.
Maher is in fine condition and he will
put up a fight that will be hard for
Choynski to beat.
W. C. Sanger had a terrible fall
Tuesday in Galesburg, 111., in the one
half mile professional race. Cooper,
E. Stade. A. C. Mertons, Coburn, Stev
ens, Sanger and one or two others
started. Stevens took the lead, hav
ing the pole with Cooper next. At the
half Cooper forged to the front. Down
the homestretch Cooper maintained
the lead until within about ten rods of
the wire. Here Sanger commenced to
gain and at the moment he bent him
self for a great spurt his handle bars
broke off and he pitched headforemost
to the ground. The other riders were
coming like demons behind. Clark,
Coburn, Stade, Hicks and Merton were
hurled off and for a moment the air
was full of legs, bicycles and arms.
Coburn and Hicks were thrown under
the fence; Cooper passed over the tape
alone, followed by Stevens and Star
buck. Sanger was helped to the dress
ing rooms and be was found to be bad
ly scarred and old wounds were re
opened. It will be several days before
Sanger can again enter the races, but
the 'injuries will not be permanent.
The proposed race' between the sextuple-machine
and the Empire State
Express has turned out to be a fake, at
least the days have passed on which
the races were to come off. It seems
strange that the public could be so
easily taken In. The idea that a bi
cycle could be made to travel a mile
in less than fifty Seconds seems pre
posterous. Great things have been ac
complished in (he art of bicycle con
struction both in ways of p'ruducing
speed and durability.but as yet no
machine has been devised that can be
propelled by human power alone at the
rate of a mile a minute or less un
paged. While it would be compara
tively easy for a "sex" to do this be
hind the train, it is an entirely differ
ent matter from doing it unpaced or
without some means to reduce the air
pressure on the machine and the
riders.
