The following is an extract from the Eoston Herald, U.S. A : — 11 8 i MILES OF BICYCLE. 'TpffE Herald Bicycle? Parade has JL proved to be not the hit of a day, but the hit of the season, and no J better proof of this can be hud than the i tact that there is not a single devotee of the wheel, man or woman, who is not eager for a repetition of it, and another chance to compete for prizes. " Then, too, the great display which went to make up THE 8s MILES OF BEAUTIFUL, interesting and instructive pageant had an educational effect on many thousands Among people who did not appreciate the force that cycledom had become, the Herald parade is discussed, and the basis of discussion is very largely made up of erpressions of wonder at the size of it all. Thousands never imagined the extent or the force or the valne of cycling, and in quarters where once existed only dispavagement there is now nothing but praise. '• It is not amiss to say that wheeldom is all agog, and wherever cyclists get together, whether between the heats of excit'.ng races on the road or in the club rooms, which are so comfortable these cool nights, the Herald's two big feasts are, if not the sole, the principal topics of discussion. " The contest for bicycle popularity to decide which wheel of them all should bear the stamp •the most popular bicycle,' the last of the two battles to come to an end, was a battle royal, with a royal victory as a final. Weeks and months did this contest go on, followed and participated in with an interest and a zest that surpassed expectations. To every rider his particular wheel is the only wheel on earth, and in comparison with his wheel all others are as twinkling stars to the sun. " The riders' name is legion, and when the test of popularity was begun the legion got to work. Ballots came in in bundles, in bags, in crates and in all ways, until those wkose duty *it was to receive them were buried under the avalanche. The cyclists rallied loyally about the standards of the wheels which they had chosen. It soon became a record-breaking contest, both in point of interest and in number of ballots. It was 'not a matter of thousands, but to the leaders it grew into a matter of nun* dreds of thousands, and for the^ first 10 wheels in the list, those having a poll of 70,000 or over, more than 2,000,000 BaixoTs webe cast. ** The contest went on tor months, and when the end came THE WAKWICK WAS THE WINNEB, The victory of the Warwick had nothing uncertain about it ; it was as emphatic as a vote of 671,589 and A LKAP OF ALMOST 200,000 over its nearest competitor. " The winning machine is one that is well and favorably known to all cyclists, and nothing can better prove this than the big vote and final result of the bal« lotting. It is manufactured by the Wari wick Cycle Company of Springfield, of which Mr P. J. W. Feae is Sole Agent for New Zealand." HOW THE VOTES STOOD ON THE 27th AUGUST. NINETY-EIGHT COMPETITOBS.
