Cycling Notes.

During the winter months cyclists who do any riding find that the mud thrown up by the wheels on to the mudguards, instead of dropping off, collects, and if allowed to dry difficulty is experienced in scraping it off. If, however, the inside of the mudguard is coated with vaseline the mud will not adhere, with the result that the machine is kept much cleaner, and there is less labor afterwards. A report has been circulated that owing to the loss sustained by the promoters of the recent " Sydney Thousand " Carnival there was a likelihood of the rich handicap with its first prize of £750 being dropped next year. The promoters state that there is no truth in the report, and that the big handicap will be held as usual early in 1907. The question of obtaining a suitable height cycle frame when purchasing a new cycle k ■< n important one to all wheelmen, b - oas. nevertheless little known about. A simpla plan to find height, of frame that will suit you is to measure inside of kg, deduct 1 inches for crank' length, and about o inches for saddle, and the remainder is the height of frame you can ride with comfort.
