How rapidly the horse has succumbed to tho bicycle as far as shearers are concerned (says tho "Sydney Morning Herald") is shown in the large number of men engaged in the industry who find the bicycle moro useful and less expensive.. Out in tho west at present it is no unusual sight to see a number of _ bicycles hauled from the brakevan of a train, to be saddled with "bluey" and other gear for tho shearers who have secured a stand _at some of the sheds. The motor bicycle is also gaining in popularity, and stock and station agents and others who want a rapid means of transport find it useful.
