The folk wing is an extract f/om the Boston Herald, U.S A :— "8J MILES OF BICYCLE "fXIHE Herald Bicycla Parade has _|_ preyed to be not the hit of a day, but thfl hit of the season, and no bettor proof of this can be h»d 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, 100, the groat display which went to make up THE 8h MILES OF BEAUTIFUL, interesting and instructive pageant had an educational effect on many thousands Among people who did not appreciate the force tLat cycleflom hid become, the 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 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 cod test for bicycle popularity to decide which wheel of them all should bear the stamp •THE MOST POPtTLAB mCTCLJt,' 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 p«»rii<?ular whee) is the only wheel en earth, and in comparison with his wheel ail others are as twinkling stars to the sun. " The riders' name is legion, ond when the test of popularity was begun the legion got to work Ballots -came in in bundles, in bags, in crales and in all ways, until those whose duty it was to receive them were buried under the avnlanche. The cyclists rallied loyally about the stnndards 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 hun«> dred* of thousands, uDd for the first 10 wheels in the list, those haying a poll of 70,000 or over, more than 2,000,000 Bailors webe cast. •* The contest went on tor months and when tht» end came THE WAKVICK WAS TWE WINNBB, The victory of the Warwick had nothing uncertain about it ; it was as emphatic as a vote of 671, 589 and A LBAB OF ALMOST 200,000 * over its nearest competitor.
