PRESENT LAW AS TO CYCLING
In Pennsylvania, Under the Act of
1889, the Bicycle Is Given the Same
Rights and Made Subject to the
Same Restrictions as Apply to Ve
hicles Drawn by Horses What
Constitutes Negligence Under This
Statue Other Intelligence of Inter
est to Riders of the Silent Steed.
Jur the faturtlny Tribune
The bicycle, by the act of -Aril
1SSII, was given the same rights in
Pennsylvania and was made subject to
the same restrictions which lly h
vehicles drawn by horses. This law
lias not been In operation long enough
for the supreme court of the slate to
define the many cases of negligence
which may arise under it, but the for
eign courts have rendered quite a num
ber of bicycle decisions so directly in
the line of common sense that it may
be presumed that the local courts
would not depart far from them if sim
ilar facts and circumstances were pre
sented. Some of these are reviewed at
length in a recent issue of the Phila
delphia Intelligencer, which thinks
the English cycling decisions sensihly
hold that the rider must be held to
greater care than that which the driver
of a vehicle must use, because of the
more perilous quality of his vehicle.
It is more dangerous, more noiseless
and uncertain. These features, coup
led with the fact that the bicycle call
be driven ut a greater speed and can
turn more quickly than any other
vehicle, impose special responsibility
on the rider. Therefore, what might be
construed to be reasonable care in the
driver of a cab might be negligence on
the part of a bicyclist, English judges
have also decided that cyclists should
observe the law of thy road, turning to
the right in the country, save where
its observance would cause more dan
ger. This law, it is held abroad, is a
recognized custom only, not a law, and
that a cyclist may be guilty of contrib
utory negligence when he collides with
a vehicle which is on the wrong side of
the road. It would, thinks the Phila
delphia Ledger, "be a misfortune for
the lovers of the wheel if young, irre
sponsible or cureless riders should lead
to the enactment of regulations which
would curtail the cycler's pleasure.
This can bo avoided by simple precau
tious, greater or less, ns conditions
vary. It requires good judgment to
run a bicycle."

According to cable advices one of
the most noteworthy cycling perlbim-
nuces oi me season is unit ot i. w.
Borland, the famous English racer, in
the 24-hour Cuca cup race. This race,
which took place at Heme Hill on
Aug. 13, was not alone remarkable for
the tact that a new record was created,
but also from an attendance point of
view. Over 50.000 persons witnessed
the race, and it is said that fully ,0DU
persons waited throughout tho night
10 witness the progress ot tlie contest
ants. Shorland led all the way and
won handily. lie was the previous
noiuer oi tne cup, and, as a conse
quence, was looked upon to maintain
a leading position in the race. At the
end of the first hour ho had covered 24
miles, 400 yards, and was in the lead,
This programme continued until the
end of the race. At the thirteenth
hour Shorland lowered the French
record of 207 miles, 217 yards, held bv
Huret. Hie trench record was 4)7
nines lor nours. norland sur
passed tins by three miles.
The recetit success of tho American
team of professionals, including Zim
merman, Wheeler and Hanker, in Eu
rope, lias naturally aroused the envy
of the leading Class IS men. and nianv
of them have a desire to go abroad and
race as professionals. John S. Johnson
m the most anxious of the Class li ele
nient to go over, as he has always en
tertained an idea that he could defeat
Zimmerman. It is said that Johnson
has had repeated conferences upon the
suojeci oi going abroad, nut that since
his recent determination to seek foreign
shores was taken he has made very
satisfactory arrangements with his old
employers, and will, as a result, confine
his racing to this country this season.
It is reported that Zimmerman has
won about I2,000 since his arrival in
France.

When bicjilcs were something of a
novelty, me huitan ot .Morocco, whose
death was recently announced, used
them as a means of punishing his
wives. A number of bicycles were
presented to him by an oll'icer of the
French government, and these became
instruments of torture for the olleni
ing women of his harem. The women
were placed on the machines and bid
den to ride around a certain track in
the palace gardens. Kuturally they
fell repeatedly to the cround. a pro
ceeding which highly pleased the sul
tan, wno used to superintend this pe
cuhar form of punishment. When tho
ladies had fallen oil' tho machines a
dozen tunes or so, and the sultan had
laughed until his sides ached, the of
fenders were allowed to return to the
palace.

Bicycle riders must now pay one
half cent per mile for traveling over
the Allentown and Coopersburg turn
pike. The pike toll gate keepers sell
regular ticKets to tno cyclers. The
rule, the riders say, is an imposition on
bicycle riders, as the wheels cause no
wear and tear to the road, and tho
pike, as a rule, is in such a poor
condition that it is rough on wheels.
One suit lias already been brought
against tho company for $20 damages
caused by having a tire torn while
riding over the pike, and moro are
threatened.
T. II. Slanwood, who made the
record-breaking bicycle trip from
Chicago to New York in a fraction
more than eight days is a slim, trim,
wiry fellow, only 21 years old. "I have
slept eight hours a day, taken two
hours for meals and resting aud ridden
an average of fourteen hours a day,"
said the young man when interviewed
at the journey's end. "I have had no
accidents of any consequence and no
exciting incidents. The chain broke at
South Bend, Ind., and I had to walk
six miles. I have come through from
Chicago without puncturing a tire or
even pumping air into it once. My
machine is a Sterling racer with
Palmer tires. It weighs 22 pounds."
Stanwood said he had never ridden a
wheel until hist season and he did not
discover until this year that he had any
special ability as a long-distance rider,
ltecently he made 100 miles in seven

hours, ton minutes, thus establishing
the world's record for a century run.

Sometimes a collision with a dog is
inevitable, nnd in such cases, says Cy
cling, it is best to grip the handles
hard and straighten the machine. If
you strike the animal while on a curve
you will partly glance oil" and a fall is
nearly certain to result. Just as you
strike raise the front wheel slightly,
and almost instantaneously ease the
back wheel by throwing your weight
forward. Unless the dog is a big one
you will pass over it with a slight jar,
while the dog will discover that it has
an appoiutnient to keep in the next
county.

One doesn't need a microscope to
ascertain the point to tins humorous
dialogue from an unidontilicd ex
change: Ho was standing on the
street corner talking excitedly to a
crowd that had gathered about a dis
heveled bicycle. "Vou hear me," he
was shouting; "Xo man will ever ride
a bicycle over me and get oil' with a
whole s'.iin. No, sir! If I go down
the bicycler goes down with me, and
he doesn't get up, either, until I have
his name and address." "And ins
photograph?" suggested one of the
crowd. "Oh, you think you're smart,"
continued the sidewalk orator, "but if
you think I in the sort of man to let a
bicycle ride roughshod over me, you're
mistaken, that's nil. I may not be
fatally injured in the collision, but I
propose to divide the fun, you see. I
get the damages and he pays for the
repairs. Why, I've known 'more peo
ple than you could shake a stick at
who were knocked down and run over
by reckless bicyclers,wlio never stopped
to see the injury they had done. But
I'll clinch, and don't you forget it." A
week later adusty aud demoralized man
limped around the same corner and
disappeared into the drug store, fol
lowed by the same crowd of loafers.
"What's tho matter?" they asked,
sympathetically. "Dropped out of a
balloon?" "Naw; run over on a dizzy
bicycle." "Where's the other fellow?'"
"(Jot otr." "Then you didn't clinch?"
"Not a clinch. Fellow never stopped
to see if there were any bones broken.
Bun right over nie and skipped
ouch! (Jive mo a pint of arnica and
four mustard plasters. I'm all bunged
up, and don't you forget it."

Min'ok Notes Ahout Wheelmen:
There are 5,000 American wheelmen
in Europe.
In Washington wheelmen must not
ride faster than nine miles an hour.
The frequent bursting of tires ut race
meets indicates that there is still room
for great improvement in that branch
of tho trade. Philadelphia- Beeord.
In Springfield, Mass., the wheelmen
are about to endow a free cyclist's bed
in one of the hospitals for tho use. of
visiting riders who may meet with an
accident.
It is reported that Champion Arthur
A. Zimmerman will practice law with
his brother-in-law for a partner, when
he gives up racing and retiresNfrom
the track.
Twenty-five pound wjieels are rid
den harder nowadays, says Cycle, than
lifty-live pound ones were three years
ago, aud with as little or less injury to
the wheels.
Chicago is suffering from a gang of
bicycle ttneves. ltls said that the plan
of operations of the gang includes New
York, Cleveland, Cincinnati Detroit,
and other cycling centers. We've had
'em in Serunton.
To say that a man is too old to ride
is to state an absurdity, declares
Cycling. Wheeling is easier than
walking, and when a man gets too old
to walk lie is ready to die. Aud ho is
never ready to do that.
Secretary Bassett recently received
an application troni a .League of Amur
lean VVeelmon member for permission
to carry a revolver while riding. As
there Is nothing in the constitution to
prohibit it the request was granted.
The liiiht-whecl fad is the latest
craze among cyclists, irrespective of
experience or weignt. An old-time
rider advises novices to get a eood me
dium weight Wheel, as it will allord
more comfort and less annoyance than
tne much desired leather-weights.
Desiring to accommodate wheelmen,
the Kings County Elevated railwuy,
New York, will hereafter on Satur
days, Sundays and holidays run cars
specially equipped lor cyclists who dis
like riding through ISrooklyu to reach

The Philadelphia Press' financial ar
ticle die lures tliat the anthracite coal
trad') is in a critical position, in that
the producing companies nr sending
too much coal to ni:irkut and tho do
mand is very light. There isnodouiit
that somo of the lending carrying om
panie have sold coal $1 pyr ton below
the official circular. Tho Mock of coul
at tide on Au;. 1 was 855.000 tons, or
100,000 tons more than wuaon baud on
July 1. Tha invitihl stock of coal in
estimated at 2.000,030 tons, and it is
being increased to the lull extent
of the capacity at nearly all stocking
points. The situation is aggravated by
the contention bntween the Lackawan
na and Lehigh Valley. It is well known
that the Lackawanna, hns filled th
whole western country up with coal
uutil it is moat difficult to sill that
product went of Buffalo. Much ot the
Lahhzh Valley coal, on which it bas con
traded to pay individual operators CO
per cent. of tbe tidowater prion, goes into
the present unprofitable field in the
west. This maues me ti?nigu valley
a moro than usnully energetic competi
tor in tha oastera markets, aud par
tially accounts for the low price of
conl. All the minor companies ana
most of the major ou3 are selling coal
without much relation to the pries it
brings. The hope of tha trade Beams
to be further restrictions and they mny
be brought about by the Lehigh Val
ley's individual operators refusing; to
ship coal at the low prices. Their
profits have already beon cut down
heavily by roaaon of tha fight in tbe
weBt. If thy should retaliate by re'
fusing to send coal to market that ac
tion would mark a new era in the
trade as a declaration of independence
on the cart of tne individdal operators,
and it would rodnoe the tonnage ot thu
Lehigh Valley. - The Stockholder adds
that the situation has been ogsravated
by free selling on the part of the Le

The shipments of bituminous coal
over the Huntingdon and Broad Top
railroad last week aggregated 59,408
tons, an increase over the same waek
last year of 13,542 tons. A few wooks
ago tho decrease for the year up to that
time was 350,000 tons; it is now only
19S. 301 tons. During the strike the
company did not issue its weekly state
mout of coal shipments, but fire weoks
ago this was resumed, since which
time the weekly increases hav been as
follows: Weokendd July 31,37,853
tons;Jnly 23, 10.270 tons; Aug.4, 37,013
tons; Aug. 11, 19.949 tons; Aug. 18, 12,
542 tons. Tbe total increase for the five
weeks has beau, thorefore, 117,017 tons,
or an average of 23,523 tons a week. In
case this uvuruge should be maintained
for tha next nine weeks the company
will have succeeded in entirely making
up the tonnage lost prior to tho re
sumption of work at the mines.
