The bicycle Is used by many of the
' ffCTi In tf English navy. It Is stated
hst there la scarcely a vessel tor-
redo boat excepted upon which at
Vist one bicycle cannot be found and
the commanders are among the most
ardent wheelmen In the navy. It Is a
strange sight says the Dally Mall In
commenting on this to see th officers'
boat leaving the war vessel directly it
touches anywhere loaded with bicy-
cle and a marvel sometime that the
whole lot are not rapslied. Officers
who have once used the bicycle do not
like the Idea of going to sea without
one. for It enables tbem. directly they
get ashore to ride away for miles and
thoroughly explore the country where.

The demand of the American raring
men that the Iengue of American
Wheelmen should take some steps to
provide for representation In the Inter-
natlonal championship races which
wilt be held In Kranre thla year. Is like-
f ly to come before the national assemb
ly next month At the annual meeting
of the league held liat year 0. D. Old-
eon the retiring chairman of the rac-
ing board suggested that the league
lake steps to send rtdera over to the
championships. The suggestion receiv-
ed no attention acd America was one
of the few nations unrepresented in
tbe big races at Glasgow. There eem
a tlkellbood that the question of
American rrpreaentatlon at the world's
championship races this year will re-
ceive serious consideration at the hand
of the league officials.
One of the changes of next season
will probably be the abolishment of
team work on the track. During the
paat season several well-known riders
have resorted to this style of work
with success. D fact tbe adoption of
team work by one or two riders forced
the ayatem on the push tor a man
stood little show without a team mate
to pull him through where the system
was used. It Is now declared that the
referees will take action which will
top team work. That Is. where one
rider la In a rare merely to help an-
other rider to pull him up to the front
as a pacemaker both men will be de-
barred from any priie.

to tbe production of rhalnless bicycles

maniifailurcr.who declares that he will
turn out high-grade wheels of this de-
scription at o. Aa the spring season
approaches It heeome clear that th
question of turning out rbainles bicy-
cles has been widely considered and
that all classes of riders will find
