CYCLING NOTES. The cycle thief is as busy as ever. From all quarters one hears of purloined cyoles and the successful escape of the miscreant. I It is stated—mark readers, only stated I that a cyclist riding in British Central Africa was recently pursued by a lion. He lived to I tell the tale. Application was recently made to the Board of Trade by the Dublin Tramway Company, to legalise their running their cars at 10 miles per hour within the city and 12 miles per hour without. The Dublin cyclists are opposing the application. 'Ware the rust fiend We were much annoyed, on going to take our bicycle out the other day, to find the front hub a mass of that unwelcomed visitor, and no amount of elbow grease will improve its appearance. Serves ua right for our carelessness in not giving that hub the necessary rub over on our return from a ride in the daaiip weather of the other week. The long looked for little publication "All about Dunlop Tyres" is now ready for the public, and those who send their names to the Company, at 160 to 166 Clerkenwell Road, London, E.C. will receive a copy per return of post. This book is always interesting, but this year it will be found even more so, as the new Dunlop Tyre for 1899 will be fully explained. Belgium is going ahead with military cycling. The Minister of War has decided to spend the large sum of 40,000 f. on folding cycles next year, while each cavalry regiment is to have a battalion of 250 cyclists. So far, military cyclists have only been attached to infantry regiments, so it can be gathered from this ex- tension that they have proved satisfactory. Some of the German racing men have made a nice little thing out of "prize money" this past season, without taking into consideration the extra remuneration received from makers of their machines. Top of the list stands Arend with 17,925 marks, Nerheyen 6,926, Breitling and several others over the 4,000, and many between this figure and 2,000 The two great cycle shows, the Stanley and the National" will soon be over, and the i "A'- I. I 0. ;•-> a .• >; v. i i i foreshadowed. With large firms carrying a name and reputation, the exhibitions have so far worked kindly, but to the small and mush- room firms it is apparent that expenses will be barely covered. This fact to a great extent confirms what we nave always maintained in this column, that the public require machines of gocd reliable quality, and not machines which are dear at the low price paid for them. Of all things, cycles are tho most important to buy good, for besides the trouble that a cheap machine always gives, there is the risk of accidents and broken Umbs to take into consideration. With frosty days, comes the playful hoop; with its graceful curves and wayward runs—a childs' toy, a cyclist's horror. A party of playful dogs cause anxious moments to a cyclist, but the dread of a simple child with its. simple hoop is many times more terrible. Keep an eagle eye on this animated twist of timber as it is certain to seek the downfall of. all cyclists that pass its way. But one-and-all require exercise, so rob not the child of its hoop, rather mount your cycle and ride away from congested towns, or busy villages, and leave the cycclar pest behind What is more exhilarating on a cold frosty morning than a run per wheel over crisp country roads, the hedges a mass of splendour with the sun shining on their frosted twigs, while every blade of grass shines like glittening swords. Truly they loose much who do not sally forth in winter. The question as to the best length of crank throw is once more cropping up. An excellent authority, to wit, Mr. R. J. Mecredy. who is one of the most practical cyclists we know of, once said that riders should use the longest crank consistent with their strength. It is mathematically proved that an increase of halt an inch in a 6* inch crank will enable an 80 inch gear to be pushed with the same expenditure of foroe as a 73 inch with the shorter crank. In no competition do the true riding-merits of a man so fully develop themselves as in hill climbing. Here it can be truly said that the best man wins—for from start to finish his power is taxed to the utmost and all his riding abilities are brought into piay. People in Great Britain have long since recognised this, and the various competitions of the kind- have always aroused a deal of interest. Cyclists in New Zealand also favour this kind of sport, and in a hill climbing competition at Canterbury—of lamb renown—A. Holness on his Dunlop tyred safety, proved himself an easy winner. Like. at home the race proved most interesting, and many people assembled to witness the struggle amongst the riders. In this country perhaps the Catford C.C. have done most to bring hill climbing competitions into public favour. It is well not to approach the subject of cycle parades to an Edinburgh cyclist; there is an open wound somewhere, and woe betides he who should touch the tender part. They have received the suggestion of a parada, they have all the facilities at hand, and are sufficient in number, still no steps are taken to organise what would be the means of rendering valuable assistance to local charities. Oh Edinburgh cyclists we mourn for your lethargy. One of the leading Fire Insurance Companies have recently disputed the claim of an insurer whose bicycle had been rendered worthless by a fire at his private house. This raises the point as to whether or no the bicycle can correctly come under the term personal property and effects." By the above decision it apparently does not, and we would therefore advise our readers to ascertain if their policies specially includes cycles, if not, to-send the policy up tn insurance company for endorsement to this effect. It will cost nothing and might someday be the means of having your cycle replaced.

Two years last harvest, after wa ha £ been clearing some etraw away, I was fitting on the hindboard of the out smoking my piPN when all at once everything seemed to swirif round me, and when I recovered oonsoicusneee I found that:they had brought me home and carried me to bt d, where I remained for somt days. For weeks after that I eowld'nt do any work. At the Infirmary they said the trouble had originated with my liver. After that I wal continually seized with giddy fits, and oftetf dropped down in a heap. At least four dajtg every week I was unfit for work." Well, how did you manage to get ovqk it?" "Oh!" said Mr Underwood with a laugh, I'm a man who reads the paperti. anti when i-read of the wonderful cures by DC.

Robert Jones, Henllau-streefc, Denbigh, summoned Moses Jones, of the same street, r with assaulting him on Saturday night, the I 5tb November. Mr John Lloyd, from the ottice of Mr Aneurin 0 Evans, Denbigh, appeared on be- half of Robert Jones, and Mr Joseph Lloyd, solicitor, appeared on behalf of Moses Jones. Mr John Lloyd said that he appeared in this ease 08 behalf of the complainant, Robert JeRes, who he might bay was better kaown as "Bob Slanger." On Saturday aight, November 5th, Robert Jones was going home up Henllan-straet, and when near the house of Moses Jones, he was taken aback at the eight of a gun presented at him by Moses Jones. There had been some differences between the parties, Moses Jones threvaening to fight the family. As soon as Robert Jones saw the gun he wrestled with Moses Jones, trying to get the gun from him. Moses Jones had said that if there was light in the gun he would let light in the defendant. Moses Jones twisted the gnn oat of the grasp of Robert Jones with the result that 116 fell to the ground, Moses Jones saying that if he could not harm him (oomplainant) with the thin end of the gun he would d. 10 with the thick end of it, whereupon he referred the gun, grasping the barrel, and striking Robert Jones with the butt end on th« head. The defendant was of a moat violent character, and the assault was of such a ohacftoter &* to alarm the people of tb* fatr*OL Mr Joseph Lloyd asked that all the nitsesses ahø_ld go out of court, which was agreed to. He also applied that the oolo. plainant sboald either go out of ourt or give hie evidence first.

He heari a row about 10 o'clock and be went out, and theflrat thing he saw was Robert Jones SInd Moses JOnss holding a gun at Robert Jones, and he said, "Moses, don't be a fool." He jumped at Moses and got-hold of him by the haDCt that weii on the tvigger. They got Moses into the house and tried to persuade him to stop there, when he said it was a good job tbere waB no oap on the gun. The «ap> had fallen off. Moses struck Robert on the* head with the butt end of the gua. He (Jfeises> had holu of the gnn barrel with his twoihands, and lifted it above hia' bead when he struck Robert Jones, which he did with foroe about the head. Cross-examined by Mr Joseph; Lloyd he said he was very frightened oa the -night in ijoestion. He had appeared in that court himself, bnt for what he haa done he paid for, very dear too i He did not eee what took place in the beginning. Be saw Moses jJ™ and Robert Jones with tbe gnn, he did not know who was trying to get tbe gnn, j^0| was in his own hoase, and Robert was standing on the parapet and the gun Was be. tween also the bottom pa't of dcor was closed.
