The following is an extract from the Boston Herald, U.S. A :— "8* MILES OF BICYCLE. "FTIHE Herald Bicycle Parade has JL proved to be not the hit of a day, but the 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 prizes. " Then, too, the great display whisk went to make up THB 8£ MILES OP BEAFnFTTL, interesting and instructive pageant hai 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 size of it all. Thousands never imagined the extent or the force or the value of cycling, and m quarters where once existed only dis> paragement there is now nothing but praise. " It is not amiss to say that wheeldomis 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 'thk most popular biotcli,' 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. Sole Agent, F. J. W.

And yet one can't help remarking that the ' Citizens' ' is the ' Good Samaritan ' to the poor, and that the pain and sorrow at the parting in death are to some extent toned down by the operations of the company." The Citizens' ordinary branch busi* ness offers very favourable advantages to those who can afford quarterly, half* yearly, or yearly premiums, Profits in the shape of BONUSES are added to Policies back teas, and for the past three years these have been larger than those declared by any other Australian Life Office.
