Bicycling in Vogue Again 
Every sport has its on and off years, and now it is the bicycle’s turn 
again. More bicycles are being bought and ridden than any time since 
the “palmy days.” Bicycling means more than pleasure—it means 
health, recreation, economy in transportation, and all at small cost. 
If you have given up your wheel or if you never knew the pleas¬ 
ures of wheeling, let us supply you our 
VICTOR BICYCLE AT $25.00 
(INCLVDING COASTER.-BRAKE) 
with the understanding that you may use it 10 days, and if not more 
than satisfied with bicycling in general and our wheel in particular, the 
amount will be refunded. We sell more bicycles than all other stores 
in New York combined. Prices begin at $17.50 and end at $50.00. 
Every style of outing goods, including Automobile Accessories, Bicycle 
Sundries, Athletic Goods and Camp Outfits. Catalogue free.

TRAP SCORE BOOK 
meets the needs of gun clubs and shooters in every par¬ 
ticular. The 150 sheets are heavily ruled—an advantage 
all scorers will appreciate, particularly when working in 
a dim light. The horizontal spaces are numbered from 
1 to 30. Broad perpendicular lines divide these into 
groups of six; thus the squads are distinguished at a 
glance. 
The paper manifolds easily, and carbon sheets are 
placed in the book for that purpose. 
It contains the American Shooting Association Rules, 
for Live-Bird Shooting, for Double Live-Bird Shooting, 
for Inanimate Target Shooting; Hurlingham Revised 
Live-Bird Rules for single and double rises, and the 
Rose System of dividing purses. Price, $1.00.
