The following is an extract from the Boston Herald, U.B.A :— _„_,,,„. „ "8| MILES OP BICYCLE. •TTIHE Herald Bicycle Parade has ___ proved to be not the hit of a day, but tbe hit of the season, and no better proof of this can be had than the 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 prises. •« Then, too, the great display which j went to make up THE 8_ XILES OF BEAUTIFUL, interesting and instructive pageant had J an educational effect on many thousands. , Among people who did not appreciate i the force that cycledom had become, the I Herald parade is discussed, and the basis of discussion is very largely made up of expressions of wonder at the size of it all. Thousands never imagined the extent or the force or the yalue of cycling, and in quarters where once existed only dis* paragement 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 exciting 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 popolab bicycle,' tbe 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 •tars to the sun. " The riders' name is legion, snd when tbe test of popularity was begun the j legion got to work. Ballots came iv in j bundles, in bags, in crates and in all ways, until those whose 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 sot a matter of thousands, but to tiie leaders it grew into a matter of bun> 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 ballots weee cast. *• The contest went on tor months, and when the end oame THE'WAKWTCK was twe wikxeb, The victory of the Warwick had nothing uncertain about it ; it was as emphatic as a vote of 671,6*9 and ▲ LEAP 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 b&U lotting- It is manufactured by the War-. wick Cycle Company of Springfield, of wbich Mr F. J. W. Feab is Sole Agent fW New Zealand." HOW THE VOTES STOOD ON THE 27th AUGUST. NINETYiBIQHT COMPETITORS. The following are those of the 98 Competitors best known to N.Z.
