CYCLING.

Zimmerman is said to have netted something like £4OOO upon his season’s racing in Europe since June last. A Miss Alice Mitchell, of Gore, Southland, accompanied by her young brother, recently rode from Gore to Christchurch, a distance of something like 355 miles, in seven days. Last week this peripatetic couple were in Wellington, and from a contemporary I learn that they were on their way to Auckland. A lover of statistics has arrived at the conclusion that a cyclist who lives to be sixty spends five years in oiling his machine.

The result of a punctured tyre is always a windfall, and yet few riders can be convinced of it. Beynolds, late of Auckland, will, .according to a Southern paper, represent the City of the Plains in the cycling events at Napier.
