This bicycle, owned in East St. Louis, was struck by three barrels of syrup, a tierce of lard and one barrel of vinegar. Absolutely the only uninjured parts are the saddle and the Morgan & Wright quick- repair tires, which were full of air when the machine was found Even if these tires had been punctured, unless severely torn, any one of the holes could have been repaired by the quick-repair device in them, without trouble. Riders of these tires, when they have a puncture, need only be careful to pump as much air as possible into the tire before insert ing the quick-repair tool.
