A LIGHT THAT IS A LIGHT. 



Chicago, 111. 

 Editor Recreation. 



_ I was glad to notice that the police of this 

 city made a determined raid a few nights ago on 

 the lanternless wheelmen, and the consequences 

 were that some 50 or 60 so-called cyclists, were 

 arrested and fined for riding without lights. 

 This has had a salutary effect, and since these 

 arrests it is rarely one sees a wheel in the evening 

 without the warning light. Nothing could have 

 been more advantageous to the safety and com- 

 fort of wheelmen and the public in general, than 

 these wholesale arrests and fines, and it is safe 

 to say, that any one hereafter may be entirely at 

 ease while riding, walking or driving at night. 

 The fear of being run down, or into, by some 

 idiotic scorcher, who is too mean or careless to 

 purchase a lamp, is now reduced to the minimum. 

 In my nightly wanderings a-wheel, I notice that 

 quite a large proportion of riders use my favorite 

 lamp the Search Light, made I think by the 

 Bridgeport Brass company. These lamps are 

 not simply a signal, but are perfect head 

 lights. I know that mine has saved me many 

 a hard bump, and perhaps spill, by its friendly 

 light. Night riders are here even more plenti- 

 ful than those riding by day, which is accounted 

 for by the fact that a great number of our wheel- 

 men and women are employes, and are unable to 

 spare time to be out during the day. To all 



those riding by night, I would say, by all means 

 purchase a Search Light, ' ' and the path will be 

 made plain unto your feet," or wheel rather. I 

 would not part with my luminous nightly guide 

 for five times what I gave for it could I not 

 secure another. C. H. D. 



The bound volumes of Recreation shall 

 occupy a prominent place on the shelves of my 

 library. I consider Recreation far ahead of the 

 other magazines of its class, and I do not believe 

 you could have more able writers than those 

 whose names I see in it. The magazine has been 

 steadily improving since the first issue. I know 

 the sportsmen of the country will all aid you, in 

 every way, to make Recreation the greatest 

 magazine the United States has ever had.

To see a copy of Recreation is to want it. 

 There is not a dull page in it. Each number is 

 better than preceding ones, especially in the 

 matter of illustrations. I can not do without 

 Recreation, although I am already taking three 

 other sportsmen's publications.

Recreation should be in the hands of every 

 sportsman in the world, young or old.
