M mHE Herald Bicycle Parade has X proved to be not the hit of a dav, but the hit of the season, and no better proof of this can be had than the feet that there is not a single devotee of the wheel, man or woman, who is not eager for a repetition of it, and another chance to compete for prises. " Then, too, the great display which went to make up THB H MILBS OF BEAtTTIKJXi, interesting and instructive pageant had •n educational effect on many thousands. Among people who did not appreciate the force that cycledom had become, the Herald parade is disoussed, and the basis of discussion is very largely made np of expressions of wonder at the size of it all. Thousands never imagined the extent or the force or the r»lu« of cycling, and in quarters where once existed dnly disparagement there is now nothing but praise. „ '* It is not amiss to say that wheeldom is all agog, and wherever cyclists get to* gether, whether between the heats of exciting races on the road or in the club rooms, which are so comfortable these cool nights, the Herald's two big feasts are, if not the sole, the principal topics of discussion. m •• The contest for bicycle popularity to decide which wheel of them all should bear the stamp , *TH> MOST JOFULi.* BICTCU, the last of the two battles to come to an end, was a battle royal, with a royal victory as a final. Weeks and months did this contest go on, followed and participated in with an interest and a sest that furpassed expectations. To every rider his particular wheel is the only wheel on earth, and in comparison with his wheel all others are as twinkling ■tan to the sun. " The riders name is legion, and when the test of popularity was begun the legion got to work. Ballots came in in bundles, in bags, in crates and in all ways, until those whose duty it was to receive them were buried under the avalanche. The cyclists rallied loyally about the standards of the wheels which they had chosen. It soon became a record-breaking contest, both in point of interest and in number of ballots. It was not a matter of thousands, but to the leaders it grew into a matter of Hundreds of thousands, and for the first 10 wheels in the list, those having a poll of 70,000 or over, more than 2,000,000 BaLLOTS WBBB CAST. "The contest went on tor months, and when the end oame THE WAKWTCK WAS TOE WIKHBB, The victory of the Warwick had nothing uncertain about it ; it was as emphatic as a vote of 671,689 and ▲ HAD OF ALMOST 200,000 over its nearest competitor. *' The winning machine is one that is well and favorably known to all cyclists, and nothing can better prove this than the big vote and final result of the ballotting. It is manufactured by the War* wick Cycle Company of Springfield, of which Mr F. J. W. Feab is Sole Agent for New Zealand." HOW THE VOTES STOOD ON THE 27th AUGUST. NINETY-EIGHT COMPETITORS.
