50-MILE ROAD PREMIERSHIP. According to tho Melbourne Argus of 23rd August, the Champion 50-Milo Road Race on 21st August was run under the auspices of the League of Victoria Wheelmen at Melbourne. Of the 24 pioked competitors from the various clubs, the first and second places were secured on Osmond Bicycles by the Middloton brothers, A. C. being first and A. A. Middleton second. The two Osmond riders, according to the Argus, " finished quietly, 6inin lOsec in record time, and so close together that the judges had difficulty in separating them." — Advt, < What great authorities say —That society is divided into two classes —viz., those who ride bicycles and those who arc going to ride. It is for this latter class we are providing the most up-to-date, strongest, and prettiest cycles, at lowest prices. Rudge-Whitworth and Spaldings are admitted to be still loading all others. Bicycles built to order. Repairs a speciality. A large stock of accessories just landed.—S. Luke & Co., Ltd.. Manners* street, Wellington,
