( Wisconsin wheelmen have a plan on foot to hold an encampmentof cyclists near Mil- , waukee next summer. At a meeting of the council of the National Cyclists' Union, held in London, England, ] it was decided to abolish road racing ana i road record attempts. Riding with toe-clips Is vastly easier than | without, and no rider who ovor used toe-, i clips continuously for a week was after- ' ward content to ride without them. . j >A1I the bicycle saddle manufacturers will make hard saddles this season, patterned ] after the jockey stylo that has become so ] popular with riders slaoe the authmn of 1996. - j A new kind of bicycle raco is being run in Belgium.

It la an odd sight that may bo witnessed 1 In the streets of Paris or auy of the largo cities of France, when priests in long flow- , inc eleriool robes ride along on ladles' j wheels, their apparel not permitting the use of a diamond frame machine. The cycling rales are most rigidly upheld la Gorm&am. An amateur In a recent race there has last been disqnallfled and classed as a professional because he wore a sash the same as his pacemakers, upon which was prirted the name of the machine he rode. I The n? of toe-clips, even by lady riders, Is steadly increasing. They make pedaling easier afd the foot pressure more uniform and more constant; they keep the foot In plaee, prevent the slipping of pedals at critical times and save the rider many bad falls and perhapa serious accidents. Stilson S. Stevenson, an Obfo man. beHevee he has la vented a btcyile on which it Is possible to make great progress in the polar regions. During the lost three winters he has experimented successfully with his machine on Lake Erlo. The machine is so constructed that It Is as easy to propel it on a rough surfaoe as on perfectly smooth Ice. 4 To be able to ri$le n wheel graeefully Is an accomplishment that may apmo day stand certain classes In good stead. This Is a natural Inference after reading the following advertisement which appeared recently in a dally paper: "A la % of education required as a companion. Most have a thorough knowledge of housekeeping and bh able to cycle." I Many cyclists complain that since taklag k> wheeling they have been troubled with sore throats,particularly In warm weather, which, to them, is quite inexplicable. To ihe veteran rider, however, the canso of the average novice's trouble is plain?it ts due to his cycling in a linen collol.
