The Victor" is a superior ht grade wheel, and is too well-known a lengthy description. Among worthy features it may be said the Tim arch cushion tire, for an all-rouad has no equal on earth, and while considerable demand for the pieJl tire, the arch cushion is a general taj?" The Victor pneumatic tire is probabfr" best in the market to-day.

It has itf tubing, inflated, and entirely disfDime from the outside tire. Mr. Canory, the "1 traveling representative of the "Ovem? wheel company explained to a reporter tfe method of removing an injured tubi when necessary to repair it, which is through an opening in the wheel between the spokes, through which the tube is fo. fiated and by attachinga cord to the tube it may be drawn out. After this has been done, repair the tube, and by hitching to a string which has been pulled through, the ouier tube while removing the fa.

It is this reputation for fair dealing which the firm has constantly maintained during the thirty-four years in which it has been in business in this city, that has placed it in the front rank not only as dealers in bicycling and other athletic supplies, but in every department of furnishing goods. They have an extensive trade throughout this country and Canada of which they may well feel proud. It is a well known statement of this firm, and one which is borne out by years of experience, that We know we can suit you; we guarantee a fit." If you do not see their display before going out you will regret it afterwards. Something Worth Seeing.

The exhibition at the rink this week has brought together one of the largest and most complete display of bicycles and their equipments ever shown in this country. The cyclist of a few years ago would be amazed at the wonderful improvements which have been so quickly suggested by intelligent lovers of the sport to add to the wheelmenfs comfort One of the largest and most interesting displays of whefl3 and bicycle specialties is that made by Rich Sager of No. 210 West Main street. This enterprising firm has already acquired an enviable reputation among wheelmen and their display at the exhibition is well worth seeing. It is situated near the middle of the west side of the rink and includes besides several of the leading wheels now on the market, a complete exhibition of the justly famed Sagar saddle, the company's wrell-known luggage carrier, an unique seat for the baby which can be attached to any bicycle, and a pneumatic tire, which eclipses anything of the kind on the market in the particular feature of self -repairing all cuts and other injuries received while in use.

Much study has been devoted by wheelmen to this particular part of the bicycle and numerous tires have been placed upon the market which have proved more or less unsatisfactory. The pneumatic tire shown by Messrs. Rich Sagar will be heartily appreciated by cyclists as it satisfies the exacting requirements of a first-rate wheel. Cuts and bruises close immediately in this tire and without injury. The Sagar saddle is an invention of a member of the firm and has become very popular among local wheelmen.

It is a tension spring saddle that can be easily adjusted to the weight of the rider. The spring is so arranged as to give an easy rocking motion, both forward and backward whenever an obstruction is met by the wheel. There is also a relieving side movement. This is considered by cyclists to be the easiest riding saddle ever introduced. The luggage carrier is a novelty and supplies a much needed improvement iu this direction.

It is light and graceful on a wheel and does not appear in any way awkward. It is cue of the most practical improvements that is to be seen at this exhibition. By its use the bicycle can now be made a vehicle of business as well as a means of locomotion for pleasure. Every family man who rides a wheel will appreciate the baby seat, which furnishes a- safe and comfortable place in which the little one can ride with ease. This seat is adjustable to any wheel and is strong and well built.

The Liberty wheel which is also exhibited by this company has attracted much attention from its unique tangent spoke. This does away with the unsatisfactory feature of the ordinary tangent. The improvement in the construction of the sprocket bearing, which prevents the accumulation of dirt and grit, is also commendable. The finest kind of enameling is used on this wheel. It cannot be chipped and is not affected by wear.

Rich. Sagar also handle the celebrated Common Sense bicycle, one of the most popular wheels now in use. The Telephone cycle, which has a novel kite-shaped frame, giving the wheel a remarkably easy motion, and the Cleveland wheel, with its new double diamond frame, is also to be found among the exhibit of the company. The Perfeet Wheel. On the left aisle near the center of the exposition is to be found the exhibit of John A.

Van Ingen, of Nos. 91-93 Smith street. The booth or apartment of which he holds exclusive possession is among the most prominent ones, and is surrounded by handsome and artistically designed decorations. It was only after much elbowing that the reporter was enabled to reach Mr. Van Ingen, and then was allowed but a moment of his time, during which he said: The rapidity with which the 'Dauntless' is obtaining its marvelous celebrity is no surprise to me, for having ridden it some time I am convinced that it will become the most popular of modern wheels.

Before accepting the exclusive agency for Rochester and vicinity for the Dauntless I had fully sa.tisfied myself regarding its merits and was fully prepared for the popular demand." He was not given an opportunity of saying more, and after a careful examination of the pneumatic tired steeds, dubbed the Dauntless," the writer left with the conviction that in this bike the objectionable features of most machines are reduced to a minimum. Mr. Van Ingen is an expert in the bicycle business, as well as an old rider, and consequently the rublic may depend that this wheel recently placed upon the market is first-class. No other booth of the exposition is surrounded by so large W. H.

Glenny Co. IE SOISTS, 191-193 Fast Main Street. Thought She Would Die Every Time She Had a Spasm- -Sinking Spells for Five YearsCured by Dr. Franfc B. Smith, the Magnetic Physician.

Mrs. Henry H. Seymour, of Bath, was left in a weakly condition after the birth of her last child five years ago. She never seemed to rally from the after prostration, and remained a listless, painless invalid. At times she would be out and around, but she never dared go anywhere alone on account of terrible weak sinking spells she was subject to.

These spells were the bane of her life. Coming on at any time and any place, leaving her utterly prostrated for hours. Naturally she became very nervous. A good night's rest was unknown. She became irregular in her monthly period, which was always attended with severe pain the first twenty-four hours.

She was tioodless, not a particle of color to her skin. No appetite, blue and melancholy, and every time she had a sinking spell she felt sure she would die. She was under physicians' care all the time and was also an inmate of about every sanitarium in the state. Still she grew worse. By advice of friends in this city she came here to take treatment of Dr.

Smith, the magnetic physician, at 19 North Washington street. It is strange what subtle power Dr. Smith has to control these nervous diseases. Under his magnetic treatment the recovery of Mrs. Seymour has been very rapid and sure.

She was sent home in two months time a well woman in every sense She gained 18 pounds in weight and the color was rapidly returning to her face. Dr. Smith treats every form of chronic disease with just as much success. His consultation is free from A. M.

Throngs Filled the Rink at Both Sessions. BOOTHS, BOWERS OF BEAUTY The Enterprise la a Success Interesting Programmes for the Delight of the Audience Some Talk About a Big Trick Riding Contest.

Yesterday's period oFthe cycle exposition opened with every possible interest. The ever increasing crowds since the show commenced on Monday evening last have been the best evidence of the certain and overwhelming success of the undertaking. The exposition has certainly tended to draw the eyes of the wheeling world toward Rochester and the gentlemen who have the affair in charge deserv nothing but the highest praise. Last night was club night for the Ladies' Crescent Cycle Club and the rink was full to overflowing. The only possible fauld that can be found with the enterprise is the lack of sufficient space.

So great was the throng last night that it was next to impossible for those who were not sufficiently fortunate to arrive early to secure advantageous positions from whence to witness the stage performances and home trainer races. Each succeeding day sees a greater advance toward the beautiful in the booth decorations and general embellishment of the rink. The exhibitors have vied with each other in tasteful decorative art and the advantageous placing of wheels and wheeling devices so that a poor mortal must indeed be self-willed to avoid the purchase of a bike. During the afternoon exhibit there was a great deal of bluffing and counterbluffing anent a match for the world's championship in trick and fancy riding. Tunnett, who has been empowered by Nick Kaufman to make a match for him with Canary, Maltby, or Barber had a long talk with the last two but as has always been the case, there was nothing in the affair but wind.

Kaufman got his little emblematic medal in his own peculiar little way and at a long range of about three thousand miles is keeping himself busy by wagging his chin. Some of the others are similarly engaged and there is mighty little chance for any man's holding1 the undisputed a-ndi proud title of world's greatest. Canary was approached by a well-meaning Rochester gentleman during the afternoon about competing in a big contest in this city six months hence but Canary could not see anything in it even at He argued, and with great deal of sense, that this being the native heath of both Barber and Kaufman, other contestant would be more than likely to find the large majority of the crowd in sympathy with the local experts. Now it would unquestionably be a very big thing for local wheeling interests to hold such an attraction under Rochester auspices but the fact still remains that this city is not the best place in the universe to hold such a contest." To a man on the fence it looks as if Barber would have pretty much of a cinch even though Canary is grace personified. l'estorday's programme was eminently attractive and interesting, and the largest crowd of the week was overjoyed.

Oliver McKenzie opened the performance with a graceful fancy dance and was followed by the home trainer races for boys, three-quarters of a mile. The first heat was between Shepherd and Buchanan, the latter winning in 1:52 1-2, and the second heat between Dukelow and Hughes was won by Hughes in 1:51. An exciting wrestling match between Ervin and Wilson furnished the next diversion for the throng. In the first bout, Graeco-Roman, Ervin got a fall at the end of ten minutes. The second bout, catch-as-catch-can, was also awarded to Ervin, Wilson suffering a painful but slight muscular strain.

The afternoon's amusement was concluded by Barber, incontestably the premier acrobatic artist on any sort of wheel. The home trainer races on the machines Sweeting's importation opened the evening seance. P. J. Dukelow winning from John A.

Graham and C. J. Conolly winning from Fred Smith. The novelty of the contests and the genuine interest kept the audience in a satisfied state of mind. It was remarkable to see the mad rush of the ladies towrd the stage as soon as the skirt dance was announced.

Four young gentlemen gaudily daubed with paint and powder, with the traditional blonde wigs and as much bewildering lace as any sprightly daughter of Terpsichore took the stage and delighted the audience with a skirt dance, graceful and well done. Athletics then took possession and after a long struggle E. A. Torpy of the Rochester Athletic Club, won the standing high jump with a record of 4 feet, 8 1-2 inches, C. Goodyer being second with a jump of 4 feet 8 inches.

A very comical sparring contest with Ervin and Wilson as the stars was the next card and the crow-d laughted until every man, woman and child had developed a good, healthy case of side-ache. The young men are truly versatile aud have caught the crowd at every entrance. Barber's wonderful act closed a capital programme. The voting contset for the most popular lady goes on apace. The result to date is as follows: Miss Nellie Griffin, 59; Miss Maude rearce.

Ocumpausjh Sons. One of the exhibits which most attracts the eye of the visitor on entering the rink is the booth of the old and popular furnishing goods house of E. Ocumpaugh Sons. It is located in the middle of the rink on the north side. Although it would be impossible for this firm to display samples giving any adequate idea of ita varied and complete stock within the confines of a small booth, yet it has managed to find room for the exhibition of articles of especial interest to wheelmen.

Bicycle suits in cheviots, pilot cloth, corduroy and Jersey cloth, ranjring in price from $8 tip are to be seen. The firm also has a fine display of racing goods, which iucludcs racing tights and breeches, with hose attached, sweaters, garters, blanket wraps, bolts, straps, and in fact everything that goes to make up a racer's outfit for looks, convenience and comfort. For some time past this firm has been making a speciality of bicycle caps, and their increase in this line of trade is mainly due to the fact that wheelmen are beginning to understand, as one ilCElPPLIES A FULL LINE OF OFFICE STATIONERY AND EVERY REQUISITE FOR THE COUNTING ROOM AT ROCK-BOTTOM PRICES, AT JACKSON'S ARCADE BOOKSTORE.

L.

Hughes's Display. Among the varied and magnificent c-hihits at the exposition none can surpass that of the veteran dealer and recognized authority upon all matters pert-lining to the bicycle trade, Francis L. Hnghes, of this city. The enterprise and previous success of this dealer can be manifested no better than in his immense and splendid display of high grade wheelsat this expo, sition. As the visitor passes through the doorway and turns to the right the Ion? lines of modern improved roadsters attracts the greatest share of attention.

The largest division of Mr. Hughes's booth is taken up by the Columbias, Ramblers and Hartfords. The Boston representative of the Pope F. J. Reville, the general agent af New York state, and A.

L. Pjpe, son of Colonel Pope, of tiae Pope Manufacturing Company, have exclusive charg of the Columbias and are constantly eay ployed in explaining to the throngs of enthusiastic admirers the most salient and intricate points of this popular Americas wheel. Another interesting feature is an exhibition of the separate pieces of the disced machines as now constructed exhibited bv the side of a separated bicycle of the old fashion. The contrast is most marked as exhibiting the giant strides that are beiri made in the industry of bicycle making. Special attention is also paid to the pneumatic tire and the ease with which a puncture can be remedied will be a revelation to all not acquainted with the most recent workings of the plug-repairing system.

A hole is cut in the tire at the puncture, the plug is inserted, and by an easy and simple process drawn taut. It is but the work of a moment and after it is done the tire is as serviceable as ever. No wheelman can in the near future afford to be without a bunch- of plugs in his kit. Since last season Garrmully Jeffrevs have intro duced something novel in the way of the Rambler which will always continue to number many admirers because of its splendid riding qualities and this progressive company evidently intends to sustain its previous high reputation allowing no one to surpass it in fine workmanship or strictest regard for the taste of the public The Rambler will undoubtedly receive the same consideration from an appreciative public that the other wheels of this firm have enjoyed. Do not think, however, that these have a monopoly of the market.

The Hartfords, Gendrons and Niagaras, the wheels of R. L. Colman and the Sercrombe Bolte Co. are strong competitors and by many are regarded a3 rivals of equal claims. Great advance has been made on all of the wheels seen ia this mammoth exhibition and where so many wheels of almost equally powerful advantages contend for supremacy it is no easy matter for the most experienced bicyclist to choose his silent steed.

In this great emporium of bicycles Mn Hughes is entirely at home and bis was the mind that conceived the beautiful booth in which is held the "display. One feature is the arrangement to illustrate the value and expansive force of the pneumatic tire which Mr. Hughes is introducing. A wheel is suspended several feet from tbe floor and held by a clamp; when this is opened the wheel drops and the tire is so lively thai over half the distance is covered by the first rebound. After a visitor has spent several hours fa viewing this notable exhibition it worn seem that any illustrations or catalopies would be superfluous but those pampiets which are riven to everv visitor are mar- vels of beauty and usefulness and with their highly colored drawings of the macnui and their different parts serve to their prototypes before the minds tf interested.

After looking them reader is impressed with the fact list tb is no place in the country hi pass the establishment of Fran0' Hughes for the purchase of a bicycle. He Dresses Athletes.
