The following is an extract from the ••nriHE Herald Bicycle Parade has X proved to be not the hit of a day, but the hit of the season, and no better proof of this can b» h«d than the iact 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 prizes. "Then, too, the great display which went to make up THB 8£ MJWS OF BEAITtIPVL, interesting and instructive pageant had an educational effect on many thousands. Among people who did not appreciate the force that cycledom had become, the Herald parade is discussed, and the basis of discussion is very largely made up of expressions of wonder at the sue of it all. Thousands never imagined the extent or the force or the value of cycling, and in quarters where once existed only dis* psragement there is now nothing but praise. , t . „ •• It is not amis* to say that wheeldom v all agog, and wherever cyclists get to* gether, whether between the heats of exciting races on the road or m the dub rooms, which are so comfortable these cool nights, the Herald's two big feasts are, if not the sole, the principal topics of discussion. . " The contest for bicycle popularity to decide which wheel of them all should hear the stamp , 'THK HOST POPPLAB BICTCXB, 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 thin contest go on, followed and participated in with an interest and a sest that surpassed expectations. To every rider his particular wheel is the only wheel on earth, and in comparison with his wheel all others are as twinkling stars to the sun. v 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 bun* dreds of thousands, and for the first 10 wheels in the list, those having a poll of 70,000 jor over, more than 2,000,000 bsllots wbbb cist. " The contest went on tor months, and when the end came THK W—BWICK WAS THE WINUBB, The victory of the Warwick had nothing uncertain about it ; it was as emphatic as a vote of 671,689 and A MAS OF AUIOST 200,000 ever its nearest competitor. '•The winning machine is one that is well and favorably known to all cyclists, «nd nothing can better prove this than the big vote and final result of the baK lotting.
