BICYCLING.

John Rolfe, Esq., champion bicyclist of Kng> §§ tend and Australia, who at present is open to fun a long-distance race with any bloyolist f of Iho diampionship of the world, gives his per- m Sofia! experience of the valuable propertlea o| St. Jacob's Oil, as wsed by him in his recent contest with Jaa Watson lor the championship M of Australia 268, Elizabeth-street North, ' f ; 9 Melbourne, Ylctoria, ' ;;i?J 23rd November, 1883, i\ To1 theEdltof Acokiafd Kvenino Stab. . Dear Sir,—l doslre to add my cheerful endow* ment of the good effects I have at all times re-1 H| ceived from the use of St. Jacob's Oil when in active training and racing. During my recent , a 6 days' contest held in the Melbourne Exhlbi- 11 Son Building for £500 and the championship of ■ the Australian and adjacent colonies, it was my' boon companion. I continually used it before and after each day's performance, and the re- ' sulta simply astonished me. After riding for 8' consecutive hours each day, viz., from half -past 2 until half-past 10, my limbs would become * i - sore and stiff from over-exertion, but after a§ being well-nibbed with the oil all muscular '- pain immediately vanished and I felt as fresh i as ever. As proof positive.af tor the contest was over, I rode 100 miles against time before a pub- ; lie audience and accomplished it in 8 hours 11 minutoa4siseconds. AnotherapplioationofSt : ; Jacob's Oil was made, and it removed all feet , . Ings of fatigue and I felt perfectly fit for anothsi <m race. Am positive it aided me to win the match, ;: and I shall never enter a Bimilar contest wiihout a bicycle and St. Jacob's Oil. I strongly advise all " wheelmen" and other | athletes to giro it a trial, and feel fully odd- m vinoed their experiences will compare lave* m *W' withmyoWnir em ain.ae«Sir, Yours truly, JOBNBoLn.
