CYCLING.
Mr Harry Yeoville Edmonds, the wellknown Wellington 'cyclist, who has returned from his tour from Wellington to Auckland via Napier and Rotorua, had an extremely rough journey; but although the state of the roads from Wellington until ho reached Auckland were none of the best, yet they were far preferable to those passed over on his return trip from New Plymouth to Wellington. Much bush country had to be passed through, where for sometimes 20 miles the 'cyclist was forced to carry his machine, and wade knee-deep in mud and over logs. However, Mr Edmonds will have the satisfaction of knowing that he has accomplished the round trip of the North Island, which has never before been attempted by anyone. To undertake such a long and unpleasant journey at this time of the year is no child's play.
