CYCLING.

Edward Elliott, a well-known Victorian racing cyclist, died at North Carlton, Melbourne, on Saturday, July 16th, after a short but very severe attack of typhoid fever. He was a member of the Herald staff, and for many years contributed the cycling notes to the Melbourne Sportsman. His racing career commenced in 1885, and since then he has been continually on the track. He was only 28 years of age, and his funeral was attended by nearly 200 cyclists. The first ladies’ bicycle club in Sweden has just been formed at Upsala. Sixteen young ladies joined immediately, and there is every reason to believe that cycling will ere long be as popular in Sweden as in Denmark. In the Anfield 100 miles on June 6th J. A. Bennett, riding a new Howe safety, accomplished the distance in shr 46min sosec —a world’s record for 100 miles on the road on an out-and-home course.
