Titus says : "In training, do your work about 

 two hours after eating — 10 A. M. and 4 P. M. 

 Be careful not to overdo in the beginning of the 

 season. Work into your sprint slowly, in order 

 that you strain no ligaments. The great secret 

 in becoming a great rider, is to have plenty of 

 rubbing with liniments. The position a 

 rider occupies on his wheel is important. 

 Many wheelmen ride too low a reach, 

 or too long or too far forward, or too 

 far backward. There is a happy medium — viz., 

 turn the cranks of the machine so that they are 

 parallel with the top of your saddle. Then take 

 a plumb line and move your saddle forward so 

 that the peak is about two and one-half to three 

 inches forward of the pedal. 



The National Cycling Union has sent the fol- 

 lowing resolution to all racing men: " If any two 

 or more riders who have entered for any cycling 



competition shall, after the same competition has 

 been advertised to the public, combine for any 

 purpose, and if any rider or riders shall in pursu- 

 ance of such combination, decline to ride in such 

 competition, the general committee of the 

 National Cyclists Union will, under the powers 

 vested in them by the rules, forthwith revoke the 

 license of each and every such rider, and such 

 revoked license or licenses will not, under any cir- 

 cumstances be renewed." 



Chief Consul Potter, of the New York state 

 division, L. A. W., has mailed a circular, pro- 

 testing against the passage of the bicycle bills now 

 before the legislature, to every cyclist in the state. 

 Mr. Potter has received word from Albany 

 that the sign board bill, advocated by the officers 

 of the New York division has been favorably re- 

 ported and will in all probability pass both 

 houses. 



Ziegler, the California cyclist, will come East 

 in May and compete in all the L. A. W. meets. 

 He says he will prove, before the season ends, 

 that his victories over Sanger, Johnson and the 

 others at Denver, were not scratches. After the 

 season closes he will challenge Zimmerman. 



The L. A. W. is seriously considering the ad- 

 visability of relinquishing all control of racing 

 matters. It would serve its own best interests by 

 doing this. 



In order to encourage long distance riding the 

 Manhattan Bicycle Club has decided to award 

 mileage medals to all members who ride 2,500 

 miles or more this season, and a special medal 

 will be awarded for the highest mileage. 



The New York Tourist Wheelmen have elected 

 the following officers: President, Dr. F. A. My- 

 rick; vice-president, Dr. W. K. Doty; secretary, 

 I. Eckstein; treasurer, A. Prebil; captain A. De 

 Julio; lieutenants, W. H. Burton, and A. 

 Shumway. 



It has been decided to have the headquarters 

 of the L. of A. W. in Boston. Sterling Elliott, 

 chief consul of the Massachusetts Division of 

 the League, will be made editor of the official 

 newspaper. 



The Associated Cycling clubs of New Jer- 

 sey will hold their annual century run in June. 

 It will, in all probability, be from Newark to 

 Princeton and return. Arrangements are also 

 being made by the Metropolitan Association of 

 Cycling Clubs for a century run in July. 



President Willison, of the L. of A. W, has 

 appointed H. E. Raymond, chairman of the 

 rules and regulations committee; W. Brewster, 

 chairman of the transportation committee ; I. B. 

 Potter, chairman of the highway improvement 

 committee.
