BICYCLE, 
The Bicycb 1 , as a permanent, 
practical road-vehicle, is an ac¬ 
knowledged fact, and the thou¬ 
sands in daily use are constantly 
increasing in numbers. It com¬ 
bines speed and endurance that 
no horse can equal, and for plea¬ 
sure or health is far superior to 
any other out-door sport. The 
art of riding is easily acquired, 
and the exercise is recom¬ 
mended by the medical profes¬ 
sion as a means of renewing 
health and strength, as it brings 
into action almost every muscle 
of the body. Send 3c. stamp for
