CYCLING NEWS & GOSSIP. X
CYCLING NEWS & GOSSIP. X The choice between the different makes of pneumatic tyres is not only difficult to a novice, but of immense importance as touching the com- fort and pleasures of:his rides. Rather than try to save a few shillings by purchasing an inferior pneumatic, it would be better to give up cycling altogether. Not only are punctures uiifrcqnent with first class tyres, but when they do come they are less to be dreaded. The best guide to the average purchaser is the reputation which a tyre has obtained, and the ease with which the cover can be removed. A tyre which embraces these two points is the Dunlop-Welch. It has world- wide reputation and is most simple to detach. A series of cycle race meetings are being held in Paris, the proceeds of which are to be devoted to the benefit fund started on behalf of Huret, the well known professional racing man. Huret it will be remembered met with a serious accident whilst training on the Pare de Princes track, necessitating his removal to the hospital, where he still lies. The doctors have given up all hope of the cyclist being able to race again, and since he relies upon the cycle track for a living, his old comrades of the wheel have decided to give him a leg up in his misfortune by starting the above fund. At the first of the series of meetings the gate produced a matter of £ -30. Many will remember the time when the famous rider Arthur Augustus Zimmerman visited this country and carried all before him in the amateur ranks. The peculiarity about Zimmerman was the unusually low gear he adopted on his machine, and when he started sprinting it was like the lightning's flash. At any rate in competitions he passed other contestants as if they were standing still. After a long absence from the path—nearly eight years-he has returned to it not for the purpose of racing, but to renew acquaintances with old friends. It is not to be expected, however, he will prove the same Zimmerman as of old. A few particulars regarding the great rider may prove of interest to present day cyclists. Born at Camden, N.J., he is now just 33 years of age. He won his first race as a novice in lSS. but he first came into prominence in 1000, by defeating the then invincible American champion Willie Windle, and winning -50 first prizes. Next year he won 52 firsts, and in IH!I he came to England winning the one, five, and fifty miles N.C.U. amateur championships, and securing seventy-live firsts out of a hundred races. In IH!);) he won 101 races out of 111 lie contested, inclusive of two world's championships at Chicago, and a year later beat the pick of the world's professional riders. This is the sort of champion that is wanted in these days to rouse the pastime and remind sportsmen of the grand old times when cycle racing was followed with intense interest. Under the new conditions, however, and with the advent of the motor, it is doubtful if the sport of cycle racing will ever again attract any great numbers of enthusiasts. With a section of cyclists it appears to be the proper thing to ride about the roads with a lady cyclist, holding her sternly and firmly by the arm, or the palm of the hand is laid flat in the small of the lady's back. The appearance of the whole business suggests nothing so much as being run in," for the escorted party is never for an instant allowed a moments free riding. Do these personally conducted ladies really enjoy this attention, or do they consider the concern for their safety merely undergone for the sake of the gal-' lantry that prompts it? A little aid is not un- necessary when ascending hills, but to be eternally holding the cyclienne is absurd. What is more, it. is a risky practice, and fraught with the greatest danger to both riders. A large stone may para- lyse the steering, a sudden swerve may bring both riders down with serious results. Watch the next escorted lady cyclist As a rule she bears the appearance of being quite resigned to her fate but the man's mien severely suggests that England expects him to do.his duty, and there is not going to be any half measures about it. Tyre brakes are pretty well extinct on machines of today, they having been ousted by the more practical form of brake acting on the rim, and undoubtedly this form of brake is the most reli- able and trustworthy. Care must be taken, how- ever, in the fitting, lest the shoes catch either against the spoke heads or valves. Undoubtedly the best rim for these brakes is the Dunlop. In construction it is mathematically true, conse- quently when the brake is brought into operation it acts smoothly and fairly. Slowly but surely the county councils throughout the country are passing bye-laws making it com- pulsory for all vehicles to carry lights an hour after sunset. Why it is that several councils should hold out against adopting such a necessary enact- ment, it is difficult to conceive, since cyclists have always been-compelled to carry a light, and horse- drawn vehicles, if anything, constitute a greater danger when driven lightless than wheel men. One of the latest councils to fall into line with the more enlightened bodies, is that of Kincardineshire, who at a recent meeting adopted the lights op vehicles bye-law. An attempt to exempt the months of May, June and July was fortunately defeated, since there is more danger in summer than winter, the number of passengers using the roads being considerably more. The end of October generally heralds the end of the club run, and cycling in battalions is off until next season. It does not follow though, that cycling will not be indulged in. In fact, riding all the year round is now so universally adopted, if not for enjoyment, for healths sake, that there is never any great signs of a dimm- ish in the number of riders seen about the roads throughout the winter months. There is nothing so enjoyable as a good run with a cycle club. Cyclists come to know each other, and the club badge is looked upon as a testimonial to the riders respectability, and generally ensures him respect- able treatment. The keepers of inns, hosieries, and beerhouses, know that if they treat a clubman in an offhand fashion it might prove very costly. Sociability and amiability among the members are 'the chief characteristics of club life. Occasionally their are one or two unruly members, and these for the sake of the club should be "black-balled." It is pleasant for one to know that the popularity of club life is on the up grade and not on the decrease as many would have us believe. x Most of the cycling clubs will b3 bringing their summer runs to a close this month, and the un- fortunate secretaries will be put to their wit's end to discover some means of keeping the members together during the winter. Winter runs, bow- ever, are growing in popularity, and providing the distance fixed is not too great, and impromptu concerts are arranged for the evenings, these functions are very enjoyable in spite of the unpro- pitious surroundings. Chess, whist, and draughts matches against neighbouring clubs, are also a source of entertainment, and provide considerable interest and excitement; indeed, there are many ways in which the dark wintry days could be agreeably bridged over, if club secretaries would only take a little pains in the organisation of fix- tures for the winter months. y The popular repair outfit amongst cyclists-the Dunlop Midget, has been reduced in price from 7d to lid. This will result in the outfit becoming even more generally used, since the Dunlop Company are not reducing the quality nor the quantity of materials, but simply the price. The Dunlop Midget contains all the necessary articles to execute a permanent repair, and at the same time is not overstocked, so as to make the box too bulky or cumbersome. Some outfits err on the size of weieht and bulk, being liberally filled with interior materials, out the Dunlop is small and convenient in size, and contains only the very best of everything. What appears to be nothing less than a wflful case of running down by a motor car occurred last week. To accentuate mattars, the victims of the dastardly action were on motor bioycles, so that in this connection it may be said it is not a case of the ordinary road hog running down a cyclist. Notwithstanding that there was ample room, a fast-travelling motor car bare down upon a motor cyclist, and, the splash-board of the car striking the machine, the motor cyclist was sent flying headlong into an excavation on the side of the road. The car sped on as if nothing had happened. The motor cyclist was on his right side of the road, yet this gigantic car slewed over to the wrong side to within a foot of the ditch, practi- cally throttling the motor cyclist. Hooliganism on motor cars is evidently becoming very rampant. Can it be that the autocarist's are exhibiting signs of jealousy now that the motor cycle has come to stay, and.in skilful bands can outpace the biggest powered car on steep hills, and even on the level can hold many when it comes to speed work? Another motor cyclist on the Bath Road was run down by a swift car, and the machine wrecked, while the rider himself was left on the road badly injured. The chauffeur, in this case, behaved in the most detestable manner, driving off at top speed, so that identification was impossible. If numbers on cars are to be legalised, the cry of cyclists and motor cyclists will be Let it come quickly." We have before now dwelt upon the foolish practice of dressing in flammable materials when masquerading at a cycle parade. When torches and japanese lanterns are carried about in a care- less manner, and all is bustle and haste, the chance of one's garments catching fire is considerable. An unfortunate accident of this character occurred at a cycle parade held at Shrewsbury. Whilst the judging was taking place, the costume of a member of a tableau of six, dressed in cotton wool, caught fire, and the others, in trying to extinguish the flames, also became involved. The six men were removed suffering from severe burns. Cotton wool is most inflammable, a spark even, being sufficient to set it a-blaze. The Northern Road Record Association's twelve hours record, and the Yorkshire Road Club's hundred miles record, were beaten by T. P. Nicholls on a machine fitted with Dunlop tyres. The distance in the twelve hours was 226 miles and the time for the hundred miles 4hrs. 54 mins. Whilst enjoying a coast down the steep hill lead- ing into the village of Holte Fleet, two cyclists were observed by a police constable, who calculating that their rate of travelling was eighteen miles an hour, carried out his duty by charging them before the Worcester Petty Sessions, there they were fined at the rate of a shilling a mile, paying in all 36a.. If there is any place in the world where an indoor track should pay its way, it is in London, yet, strange to say, experiments in this direction have proved to be anything but lucrative specula- tions. Old cyclists will no doubt recollect the Agricultural Hall indoor track patronised by all the leading cracks, and later at the famous Olympia Velodrome, where ladies' races were held as well as men's, in the hope that the venture would prove a success. It turned out a financial fiasco. There are a few optimistic spirits left, however, who despite the gloomy failures of the past, still believe that an indoor track properly managed and run by men who know their business, would prove a success, and for this reason the Alexandra Palace authorities have decided once again to tempt fortune by constructing an indoor track. We doubt if their enterprise will be rewarded. It is hoped to have the track laid down by November. Meetings will be held once or twice a week, and amateur and professional riders will be catered for under N.C.U. Rules. Even motor cycle racing is mooted. Already a number of the leading London racing men have sent in their names, and the Palace officials have decided to put up a fifty guinea challenge cup for an amateur race. We hope the enterprise will be rewarded. One of the events at a recent Parisian race meeting included a contest on the programme designated the" cent. kilogs. championship." The contestants were riders scaling a hundred kilogs., the English equivalent representing some 15 stone. Oscar, the recognised fat man champion, was again entered, and had no difficulty in placing the event to his credit for the fourth successive year, winning the race by over a lap. Colomby, the runner up, was even more generously provided with adipose tissue than the winner, and turned the scale in the neighbour. hood of 17 stone. x Since the inauguration of motor cycling it is pleasant to be able to chronicle the fact that one of its noteworthy features has been its immunity from serious accidents. In fact, the only mishap in this connection have occurred on the race path. This speaks well for the comparative safety of motor cycling as compared with any other form of pastime. It is different abroad, however, for recently in France a motor cyclist met with a terrible death. An engineer-strange coincident- was riding a petrocyclette," as the new and popular machine is called on the Continent. He was comparatively a novice at the game, which requires more special practice than ordin- ary cyclists are apt to imagine. Whilst descend- ing a declivity by a winding road at,a fast pace, at a bend in the road some hitch occurred on the motor. No sooner did it happen than he promptly lost his head. Thinking only of the engine, the machine got up a terrific speed, and all his attention was concentrated to working the levera in order to slow up, but the unfortunate rider quite overlooked the steering and braking, and drove straight into a wall. He was picked np dead. One of the most popular long distance club rung of the year is the London to York journey, which for twelve years in succession has been religiously carried out by the members of that well-known band of road riders, the North Road Cycling Club. On the occasion of the last run held on the 21st of June, the number of riders taking part in the run showed a falling off compared with previous years, but this, no doubt, is accountable for by the shock- ing cycling weather experienced this year. < The time sheets were carefully made out so that the 197 miles of roadway between London and York should occupy twenty-one hours, indeed, the object of the ride is for the whole body of men to ride through together, "scorching" and com- petitive riding of any kind being strictly tabooed. During the greater portion of the journey the roads were in a shockingly heavy condition, and a thunderstorm was encountered towards the end of the journey, yet in spite of these discomforts, the riders arrived at their destination some fifteen minutes before the twenty-one hours elapsed. The sticking of the tube to the cover of a tyre is often responsible for small leaks, while if the tyre has not been taken off for some time the tube may be stuck, so that there is danger of its tearing. To obviate this a liberal use of French chalk is advisable. A plentiful supply of this commodity will be found in the Midget Repairing Outfit, and also in the Motor Outfits made by the Dunlop Co. It is most essential when ordering a cycle, to see that the frame is of a suitable height, and that the gear is not too high for the rider. Many people who have not exercised care in securing thëse requirements, have found cycling so labourous, that they have almost been on the point of giving up the pastime altogether. Once it was stated when Jimmy Michael was in the hey-day of his success as a pace follower, that he was commissioned by a noted publishing house to write a novel, the basis of the story to be con- nected as much as possible with racing and the wheel world generally. Promptly the redoubtable Jimmy set to work and wrote a novel entitled "Paced to Victory by Love." The book, it is stated, had a large circulation amongst the racing fraternity in the states. But it is not known whether a copy has come into any reader's band on this side. Many humorous incidents can be attributed to the cycle, but probably the most mirthful in this connection occurred recently and which will take a lot of beating. The main actors were an engaged couple, both of whom were practically in the novitiate stage of cycling, and were a danger to themselves and any- thing within half-a-mile. One day they sallied forth for a ride, Adonis showing the way in cork- screw fashion. Every few yards he turned his head and uttered fond words of encouragement to his adored one. He had just let forth a long string of tender adjectives when the cycle behind him came alongside and a bewhiskered individual grinning from ear to ear rode slowly past. The shock was so great that Adonis bit the dust. The lady was a quarter of a mile behind When purchasing a repair outfit, bear in mind that it should just be sufficiently large to enable a cyclist to execute repairs. It should contain all the necessary articles, and at the same time it should not be so overstocked as to make the outfit too bulky and cumbersome. Some outfits certainly err on the side of weight and bulk, there being a too large supply of material, and that, as a rule, of an inferior quality. The Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Company, realising that cyclist's want a compact, and at the same time useful outfit, embracing all the necessary rubber and rubber solution of the best quality, have succeeded in getting all that is required into a very small compass. The Dunlop Midget Outfit, serves every practical purpose, besides being extremely light and handy in form. In the Sporting Life recently, we saw a challenge inserted by the parents of a little girl, who apparently have more faith in their child's riding powers than is good for the infant; it ran as follows: Miss Minnie Pittuck (age 9 years) to J. Chapman (Islington). Miss Pittuck will ride J. Chapman half-a-mile, providing that he con- cedes her 100 yards start. To ride for a medal, value from JE1 to 95 a side. The race to take place at Stamford Hill Tee-to-Tum Grounds, on Saturday, June 28th. This challenge is also open to any girl or boy of Miss Pittuck's age to start from scratch. An answer through the Sporting Life will oblige." Challenges such as these are to be discountenanced as no good can result from infants being introduced to the sporting world.
SAW MILLS GUTTED.
SAW MILLS GUTTED. A serious conflagration occurred on Saturday tnorning at the extensive saw mills which were erected eighteen months ago by the firm. of Messrs. Robson, Miller, and Company, North Shields, on the north side of the harbour. The fire was first noticed in the engine room, and in an amazingly short time the building was in a complete blaze. Despite the efforts of the local brigades, it was found impossible to stem the progress of the flames. For two hours the fire burnt with terrible fierceness. The western half of the roof, the whole of which was of corrugated iron, early fell in with a loud crash. The build- ing was completely gutted, and the valuable machinery destroyed, the total damage being estimated at between £15,000 and £ 20,000.
THE ANTI-CO-OPERATIVE MOVEMENT.
THE ANTI-CO-OPERATIVE MOVEMENT. The first public meeting was held in St. Helens Town Hall, on Monday night, under the auspices of the St. Helens and District Traders' Defence Association, for the purpose of exposing co- operative methods.—Councillor Green presided over a crowded meeting. He said co-operators started with the object of wiping out private traders, but it would be a sorry day for England when that happened. The St. Helens traders' movement was started only a short time ago, and 85 towns had signified their intention of failing into line with St. Helens. Then would come their strength.—Mr. Mackie, of Dumbarton, gave an address as an exposure of co-operative methods, and declared that he had not come to St. Helens to call the righteous but the sinners to repentance. He asked where would this coun- try be to-day were it not for individualism. If we were brought down to the level which the professional co-operator would bring us to we should become a nation of the past.Ilr. Walker, organising secretary of the Scottish Traders' Defence Association, said he trusted they would be able to show that the co-operative store movement was not a beneficent and bene- ficial institution, but was simply trading for profit, and was a menace to the welfare ol tho community.

---FORTY FORTS CAPTURED. "^
FORTY FORTS CAPTURED. DETAILS OF ANOTHER PHILIPPINES BATTLE. Manila, Saturday. Colonel Pershing's column has completely routed the Maciu Moros, killing and wounding about 100, capturing 40 forts. The American loss was only two wounded. On Tuesday the Moros retired to their largest and strongest fort on the lake shore, and on Wednesday morning Colonel Pershing attacked them with artillery. The fort was bombarded for three hours, and art noon Lieut. Loring, at the head of a squadron, attempted to set fire to the fort. Creeping up under the walls, they started a blaze which soon forced the Moros to retire from the walls. In the afternoon the Sultan Cabugatan led a sortie of fanatical warriors, armed with krissea. They found cover under the long grass, and delivered a determined attack. Cabugatan was wounded six times, and "boloed" an American before he died. His followers were all killed. In the darkness on Wednesday night Col. Pershing took his batteries up to within a hundred yards of the fort, closed his infantry lin, and re- sumed the attack. The Moros broke twice and attempted to escape by the beach, but they were discovered, and many were killed. The re- mainder abandoned the fort early on Thursday after a fifteen hours' bombardment. In the course of the day Col. Pershing destroyed the rest of the forts. A cessation of hostilities has been ordered in the hope that overtures of peace will be forthcoming. It appears that the Sultans of Maciu were so confident in their ability to repel the Americans that before the fight they vowed they would voluntarily enter into slavery if they were defeated. o

-tl- The Recorder of Norwich has added another to the many judicial dicta on the subject of how to test whether a man is drunk or not. Were you drunk ?" asked counsel of a witness in a case at Norwich Sessions. Well, I knew what I was doing," replied the witness. Ah," interrupted the Recorder, when a man is drunk and know; that he is drunk, then he is not drunk but when he is drunk and does not know that he is drunk, then he is very drunk indeed." The salat-J of the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland is £ 20,000 a year, and he has £ 1,000 for an outfit. Formerly the emolument was considerably less, though before the Union, when Dublin was crowded during the season with peers and mem- bers of Parliament who expected to be enter- tained, expenses must have been very heavy, but in those days very rich men-the Dukes of Rich- mond and Rutland, Lord Fitzwillam, etc., often filled the office. At a church in South London the clergy, in order to remove the objection raised by young mothers that they are unable to attend service owing to the neces&ity of looking after the babies, have undertaken to look after the children while the parents are worshipping. Till further notice, a room at the church is set apart every Sunday evening for the use of the youngsters, and they are carefully looked after by an ex- perienced matron, chosen from among the con- gregation. One occasionally comes across touching in- stances of the compassion of magistrate's in the annals of country police courts. A tramp was brought before a Sussex bench minus everything sartorial with the exception of his coat, having torn up the rest of his habiliments in the cell. So concerned were the magistrates that he should be sent to prison so airily attired that—so runs the local report-they gave him a pail of trousers. But it does not say whose was the self- sacrifice, and how he left the Bench. In reference to the loss of the Guiding Star, the Caister lifeboat was launched, but could not approach the vessel because of the heavy sea. As the Guiding Star was full of water and threa- tened to go to pieces her crew of ten left her, and after a perilous trip in their little boat, which was repeatedly struck- by the big waves and almost swamped, they landed safely at the village of California. After the crew had aban- doned her the masts of the Guiding Star fell overboard, and she is now breaking up. In his report to the Board of Trade on the collision between a goods train and a passenger train on July 23rd at Gorbals Junction, outside St. Enoch's Station, on the Glasgow and South Western Railway, Limited, Col. Yorke states that the collision was due to a mistake by the driver of the passenger train, but there is some- thing to be said in his favour, and he does not think the man's error should be severely re- garded. He recommends the company's atten- tion to be directed to relaxation in the block rules. Lord George Hamilton, writing to a Noncon- formist minister in his constituency, whose con- gregation had sent him a petition against the Education Bill, and who when asked for an ex- planation, referred him to a pamphlet by the Rev. Dr. Clifford, says national education is too serious a subject to be thus treated. He adds, that if his correspondent will obtain a copy (,f the Government Education Bill and then analyse and compare its proposals with the system v at present in force, he will only be too glad to I isten to any comments or suggestions he may wish to make. Henry Whitridge, Abraham Walker and James White, employes of the Tramways Department of the Manchester Corporation, were at work on Monday on a moveable platform fixing the over- head equipment in Deansgate, near Knot Mill Station, when the apparatus overbalanced, and the men were thrown to the ground, a distance of several feet. They were conveyed to the Royal Infirmary. Whitridge's right arm was broken, but the other men had only sustained a severe shock to the system. The accident seems to have been due to the turning of the platform whilst the men were on top. At Portsmouth, on Monday, Edward Trice, a labourer, was charged with assaulting and rob- bing John Edward Caroll, able seaman. A man named Cripps had been sentenced, at the Win- chester Assizes, to twelve months' imprisonment for the same crime. One of the witnesses at the trial subsequently overheard Trice and another man when talking together say Cripps was inno- cent, and they were guilty. Trice admitted to several of his friends that it was he who com- mitted the robbery, and not Cripps. As a con- sequence of this, Trice was arrested, and on Monday committed for trial at the Winchester Assizes. A tragic occurrence, resulting from the wager of one shilling, happened at Northwich, on Saturday afternoon. Philip Hankey (66), a salt waller, of 3, Wilbraham-place, Northwich, made a bet in a public-house that, despite his age, he wwld swim across the river Weaver. At 5 o'clock he entered the stream hard by Baron's Quay salt works. It was bitterly cold, and some by- standers tried to dissuade him. The river is 40 yards wide, and he had progressed 30 yards when he was seen to throw up his arms and sink. A lifebuoy was flung to him, but he never rose again. Deceased was the sole support of his wife and widowed daughter. The famous U Battery of the Royal Horse Artillery, which, has been directed to make Hulme Barracks, Manchester, its headquarters, arrived in the city on Monday. The men, accom- panied by the Police Band, marched through several of the principal thoroughfares, and were accorded a hearty reception. The battery, which consists of 85 rank and file and five officers, returned from South Africa last week, and will probably be remembered in connection with the mishap at Sanna's Post. As the re- sult of an ambush the guns were captured by the Boers, and severe loss was inflicted on the tin tIsn sotclIers. An editor in tho Western States—where all this sort of editors comes from-announces his policy is the following Prospectus: "Our aim- Tell the truth, though the heavens take a tumble. Our paper—Of the people, for the people, and paid for by the people. Our re- ligion—Orthodox, with a firm belief in hell for delinquent subscribers. Our motto—Take all in sight and rustle for more.

VV hat we advocate-One country, ono.flag, and one wife-at a time. Our object-To live in pomp and splendour." A Handsworth lady, Miss Mary Roderick, who committed suicide by throwing herself from an attic window, had suffered from the delusion that she was about to lose her eyesight.

-----A FAMOUS CHINESE VICEROY.
A FAMOUS CHINESE VICEROY. Liu-Yun-Yi, the famous Viceroy of Nanking, died on Monday. Liu-Kun-Yi was one of the most enlightened of the Chinese Viceroys, and it is largely owing to the firm stand he made against Russian aggression that the design of the latter country to permanently annex Manchuria has been frustrated. To all intents and pur- poses Liu, for over 20 years, ruled the destinies of the 67 million people who inhabit the three provinces of Kiang-Si, Kiang-Su, and An-Hui. Through his instrumentality military and naval colleges have been established at Nanking, with German and English tutors, and he also pos- sessed a gunpowder factory and an arsenal, with a mint that turned out coins bearing his own provincial symbols. Liu-Kun-Yi was over 70 years of age, and up to recently enjoyed robust health, and displayed remarkable intellectual vigour.
= MANCHESTER MERCHANT KILLED…
= MANCHESTER MERCHANT KILLED IN THE HUNTING FIELD. A distressing accident occurred on Saturday in connection with the North Cheshire Hunt. The meet for cub hunting was at Whatcroft, near Northwich, and during a run across Dean's Fields a fence had to be crossed. Mr. Richard Moir, of White House, Knutsford, got up to it but pullsd to one side to allow a lady to proceed! His horse then reared, lost its balance, and fell backwards with Mr. Moir beneath it. He was picked up crushed and bruised, but it was thought at first that his injuries were not very serious, for he was quite conscious. Messrs. Barlow, Fowles, Smith and Perry carried him to Whatcroft Hall, the residence of Mr. Alec Ifeiss, and here he was attended by Dr. Edge, of Mob- berley. Unfortunately it proved that he had sustained severe internal injuries, and death took place at noon. This is the first fatal acci- dent that has occurred in the North Cheshire hunting field since the death, thirteen or four- teen years ago, of the then Master, Capt. Park Yates. Mr. Moir was identified with the com- mercial life of Manchester, being the head of the firm of Messrs. Richard Moir and Co., Turkey- red dyers.
