BICYCLE. 
Bicycle riding is unsurpassed as 
a method of travelling, whether 
for speed, sport, or the renewal 
of health. Nohorse can compare 
with the bicycle for endurance, 
no other pastime is half so fas¬ 
cinating, and the exercise is rec¬ 
ommended by the medical pro¬ 
fession as being most conducive 
to health. Appleyard rode 100 
miles in 7 hours, over a common 
turnpike road, and Waller has 
accomplished 3,400 miles in 6 
days. Send 3c. stamp for 24-page 
catalogue, containing price lists 
and full information, or 10c. for 
catalogue and copy of “ The 
Bicycling World.”
