Just rec oently a man in one part of Wellington' had the front wheel of me machine stolen, and a cyclist in another street had the baok wheel of his machine removed. It !• surmised .that both thefts were committed! by the same person, who had the frame of v a machine, and only required the wheels to put it in working order.
