BICYCLES OF ALL KINDS.

A Remarkable Exhibition Recently Held in London. The largest bicycle show on record has just been held in London by the Stanley Cycle Club. It was chiefly curious for two things—the wonder-

ful and fearful variety of tires and the reaction in favor of ordinaries. There are very few of the old-fash-ioned tires to he seen, but superior as the new kinds are they look very ungainly. Beside some of the new inventions the pre-historic bone-shaker would look elegant. Every possible aooessory to a cycle is exhibited—seats to be affixed to safeties, so that baby may accompany father In his rides without fear of falling off, errand boys’ boxes, patent pedals and handles, the latest thing in saddles, hells, lamps and Brakes, suitable cjdthing for cyclists, glue for tiresome tires, cyclometers, spick and

span spanners, and other necessary tools; oils for lighting and cleaning purposes, chain, covers, mud shields, and so on ad infinitum. A baby carrirge with pneumatic tires is indeed a novelty. One would think that the average nurse could push a baby carriage fast enough at present, and that it should scarcely be likely that anxious mothers would view with equanimity the prospect of their darlings being bounced out by an unexpected

bound of the india rubber wheels. However, the invention may have its use. A divided skirt for cycling will perhaps commend itself to ladies.
