the adaptability of tlie bicycle for the army, and the result 
of his latest experiment will be awaited with interest. 
It has frequently been commented upon as an anomaly, 
that so many of the railroads which have been complaining 
of the hard times and bad business of their lines should 
have fought bicycle baggage measures instead of turning 
to and making capital out of the so called "bicycle craze," 
by extending evei'y possible courtesy to wheelmen. There 
can be no question that there is money for the lines passing 
through large cities or along popular bicycle routes in a 
liberal policy in this regard, and there are indications that 
the railroad magnates themselves are at last awakening to 
this fact. It is altogether within the bounds of possibility, 
that before another year is past we shall see the very roads 
that opposed the wheelmen most bitterly striving among 
themselves for their patronage and doing ail in their power 
to outdo each other in hospitality. 
The Long Island Kailroad is a case in point. Within the 
last few days President Wm. H. Baldwin has made applica- 
tion for membership in the League of Amtrican Wheelmen, 
and written the following letter, which is made public by 
President Potter, of the L. A. W. : 
"I wish to notify you that 1 have arranged with A. B. 
Fullerton to represent' the Long Island Railroad as a special 
agent of the passenger department. Ilis duties will be to 
look out for the bicycle interesls; to notify cyclists from 
everywhere how to make runs on Long Island; to get up 
printed material and maps showing the different kinds of 
runs and what roads best to use in making runs; to encour- 
age the different towns on the island to build cycle paths 
and to arrange proper hospitality; to see that the railroad 
gives every facility within reasou for the proper care and 
handling of cyclists and their wheels, and in general to 
make Long island a cjclist's paradise before we get through 
with it. 1 have no doubt you will consider this a step in 
the right direction " 
The Long Islbud Railroad Co deserves credit for the action 
it hastalien. It is a broad-minded and far sighted policy th)it 
does not strive to make the most out of present conditions, 
which give a practical monopoly, but aims instead to further 
the interests of wheelmen and railroad conjointly. 
Too often railroads act on the principle that cycle paths 
and improved roads and local hospitality and official courtesy 
are to be frowned upon ratlier ilian encouraged, and it is re- 
freshing to see a position the opposite of this assumed by a 
road which is not forced to take the step through competition 
or &nj particularly selfish interest 
Long Island is already the most popular wheeling locality 
near New York. Its fine system of good roads from the 
Coney Island Path to Flushing, as well as those from Hem- 
stead to Patchogue and beyond, put iu way up in the front 
as a cycling Mecca. 
A new cross island cycling path, which is to extend from 
Port Jefferson to Patchogue, will soon bring wheelmen from 
Bridgeport and other Connecticut towns to join the throngs 
from Now York and New Jersey. 
Already most of the shady nooks along the best routes are 
preempted by inns and refreshment booths, bat these are 
taxed to the utmost on holidays to meet the demand. 
Aside from a few evil minded tack throwers, the native: 
population are hospitably inclined to wheelmen, and now 
that the railroad has also proffered the hand of good fellow- 
ship Long Island may be esteemed the pearl of cycling com- 
munities. 
Brakes on Bicycles. 
From: time to time the New York Sua prints statistics 
relative to bicycle accidents. As a rule these statistics are 
Teliable and woithy of study, though occasionally, as in the 
report for May of the present year, an irrelevant note will 
be found, such as the following: "Scorcher starts for Coney 
Island with his sweetheart, comes in contact with a ch rgy- 
man and is married. Damage, $5." 
The burden of evidence to be gathered from the monthly 
compilation seems to point overwhelmingly to the necessity 
of equipping bicycles with brakes. The following is from 
an editorial op the subject: 
■'In, June. 1896, when the number of serious accidents 
among wheejmen was very large, the Sun endeavored to 
find out their prime cause, and to prescribe a means for 
avoiding their repetition. A careful study showed that, in 
four cases out of five, the cyclist responsible for the trouble 
was unable to control his or her wheel with sufficient 
promptness. Perhaps a pedestrian would start to cross the 
street without looking to see if it was clear, and, before he 
had taken three steps, be knocked down by a bicycle. Its 
rider had seen the danger, but wasn't able to avoid it. 
Again, a wheelwomen, careful and experienced as a cyclist, 
might be descending a hill; her spetd would increase with 
every turn of the wheel, her feet leave the pedals, her 
machine become unmanageable, until the frightened rider 
could hold on only and trust in Providence. 
"During May, June, and July of last year accidents in and 
around New York resulting from cyclists poor control of 
their machines, were reported in almost every edition of the 
newspapers. And the same kind of reports have been com- 
ing in at an alarming rate this season. For example, the 
other day a scorcher knocked down a boy and broke his 
collar bone. Cause: couldn't stop quickly enough. Two 
cyclists smashed together on a hill. Cause: same. Cyclist 
rode off a pier and was drowned. Cause: as before. On 
Wednesday last a young wheelwoman was drowned near the 
town of Garrisons. She was coasting; lost control of her 
wheel and was thrown mf,o a pond. In short, a review of 
the bicycle accidents in this city for the months of April and 
^May last shows that, in all probability, two thirds of the 
mishaps might have been avoided if the wheels involved had 
ibeen equipped with brakes. 
"Last fall inventors gave special attention to that feature of 
lihe wheel's make up, with the result that brakes of various 
isorts may noiV be had. They are all good; they weigh only 
a few ounces each, acd to have one attached to a wheel costs 
ibut a trifle. Wheelmen who value properly their own lives 
and the safety ot others regard a biake as indispensable to 
safety. 
"Riders convince yourselves of the efficacy of this safeguard. 
Get a brake. You won't regret ii, and doctor and under- 
takers may then take a longer vacation." 
As the yachting jdurnal of America, the PoRfiST and Strbam is the 
recognized medium of commimication between the maker of yachts- 
men's supplies and the yachting public. Its value for advertising 
has been demonstrated by patrons who have employed its columns 
continuously for years.
