But the effort was ton sinch, gradually my strength failed we, and when I carried out of the course and paddled gently to the site there was a hubbak of dia- sppointment from every quarter of the bath.

I have often thought since then how aice the bamisome silver sup would look on my sideboard, but alas, each good fortune was not for mo.

CYCLISTS AND THE FOLICE, Ninety-nine out of every hundred, resonable people will end ik ostromoly difficult to under stand or appreciate the pronounced hostility which is being ovinced' in certain localities by the police and others who coupy more or less cflcd positions to the great and sowing fra teraity of the whool. In the early days of the pastime, or recreation, or what you will, we heard very little of there bitter cries of the police, which may be accounted for by the fact that only a tithe of the number who ride wheels to-day wore devoted to the exerciso some sight or nine years ago. With the advent of the safety taoyale, poumatic tyres, and the thousand and one improvements which have been brenght about in recent times, the number ofżyclists as inoressed a thousandfold. Under the circum. stances, it read causo a surprise fu fow - harum-scarnemad-brained riders are found at interrel. We find objectionablo individuals in every walk of life. But because these faw sareor about our streets and highways in reck- less fashion, without belle, without lamps, and often without consideration for anyone but themselves, that is "no just reason why the wheeling community as a whole should be continually harassed and misrepresented by those dressed in a little brief authority. If chose I could easily give half a dozen lastanees ,where "country inagistantör have gone out of their way to verbally castigato all and sundry who affect cycling. Wook after week we read of eyeling smashes and running down enses, and inverishly the syslist comes off second best if the aid of the law it invoked. Recently I have read. of a policeman parposely upsetting a tandem because the riders were riding at night without light, although both were aware their lawn bed gono out Considerable damage was done to the ranchine and riders, but there was no ra dress obtainable, There can be no sort of sympathy for the harebrained rider who w fully sets the laws of the fond at defiance, and who entertains the notion that the possession of a bicycle exempts him from the ordinary ameni tion tī civilisation. Buch people deserve all the punishment a hostile magislesey can inflict. In the Lame of common fairness, however, a protest must be made against the obeard statements which wo ocessionally hear, abmit yoliste 'thinking all the roads belong to them," and who abues the roadmen in the most disgraceful manner if a stone, be out of plooing in the road The Cheshire nota- bilities appear to be most indignant at the airy the cyclists of their locality ; and would impose a tax to-morrow could they have their own sweet way. Perhaps if cyclists had to pay a tax it would be better all round, for we may be soriain that many of the bighways which are now most shamefully neglected by tho local authorities would have to be repaired out pat in order, or the cycling taxpayer would want to know the reason why. It is for the journals devoted to the recreation to educate the polios so the few worthy, but dreadfully prejudiced individuals who oppose cycling in eir capacity as county councillors. Only the other day, the Rev. W. Pellook. Hill, RA, in addressing an assembly of cyclists, said it wement to him that the sight of a person in knicker bockers on a bicycle instantly provoce an wareassing hostility in the breast of a country poliocman. This was sweeping, but those who have ridden in the commolay very tauch will be inclined to agroo with this opinjon.
