The following is an extract from the Boston Herald, U.B.A :— „,_,_ _ "8i MILES OF BICYCLE. « mHE Herald Bicycle Parade has J_ proved to be not the hit of a day, but the hit of the season, and no better proof of thia can be hsd than the fact 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 went to make up THK 8k MIWS O* BBAimFITI, 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 disoussed, and the basis of discussion is very largely made up of expressions of wonder at the sue of it all. Thousands never imagined the. extent or the force or the ?•!«« « f cycling, and in quarters where once existed only dis* paragement there is now nothing out P«* ise « « . v v •• It is not amiss to say that wneeldom is all agog, and wherever cyclists get to* gether, 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 MOBT FOEUIiA* BICTCX*, 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 etpectatlonß. 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, and when the test of popularity was begun the legion got to work. Ballots came in in bandies, in bags, in crates and in all ways, until those witose 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, tut to the leaders it grew into a matter of hundreds 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 BM.I.QTS WSBB CAST. " The contest went on tor months, and when the end oame THK WAK WICK WAS THE WINMM, The victory of the Warwick had nothing uncertain about it ; it was as emphatic as a vote of 671,589 and A LEAD 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 baN lotting. It is manufactured by the Warwick Cycle Company of Springfield, of which Mr F. J. W. Fbab is Sole Agent for New Zealand." HOW THE VOTES STOOD ON THE 27th AUGUST. NINETY-EIGHT COfIIBETITOKS. The following are those of the 98 Competitors best known to N.Z.
