Sandow Rides a Wheel.

During the last year Sandow has become a .confirmed bicyclist. He did not at first give his approval to this form of exercise, thinking it developed ths leg muscles only. In his exhibitions at Proctor’s Pleasure Palace, Sandow has demonstrated -that he is much stronger than he was a year ago. He has increased Ms single finger lift from 606 pounds to 750, while the cTunrbbell that he raises with one hand weighs 255 pounds, an increase of fifty pounds over that of last year. His harness lift has been increased from 5,800 to 6,100 pounds.
