Each day of the year ap­ pears upon a seperate slip with quota­ tion pertaining to cycling from leadiug publications and prominent writers on both sides ot the ocean. The notable cycling events are mentioned; and concise opinions of the highest medical authorities; words from practical wheelmen, including those of clergy­ men and other professional gentlemen; the rights of cyclers upon the roads; general wheeling statistics; the benefit of tricycling for ladies; extracts from cycling poems rand much other matter Interesting to the public In general, and the cycler In particular, appear from day;to day. In fact, into a little measure is crowded in a highly attrac­ tive way the past, present and future ot cycling;--a virtual encyclopaedia upon this universally utilized "steed of steel." The calendar proper is mounted upou a back of heavy board, upon which Is exquisitely executed, in water-color eflact, a charming comb! nation of cycling scenes by G. H. Buck, of New York.

Rowell & Co. of New York. The reason for this may be found, not in the fact thai Messrs, Rowell & Co. do not want business or are unwilling to drum for It, but that tliey find a cheaper and more efficacious way of securing patronage is to keep their names- be forest he public by using the advertising columns of the newspapers Doing thi* they attract those advertis-. ers who wish their services, and avoid annoying or wasting the time of those who have not yet arrived at that con­ clusion.
