Saddle, with its spring cushion which does away with the jolts and shocks
that the rider receives with an ordinary saddle, was voted the best shown.

There is a new foot-pump from which great things are expected. It is small
enough to be packed in the tool-bag, and strong enough for all purposes.

Among other things, a bicycle cleaner made by the Ætna Company, of Newark,
N.J., was particularly recommended to prevent rust, and to polish the
steel and enamel parts.

The aluminum cyclometers made by the Trenton Watch Company made a very
handsome display. They will register from 1 to 10,000 miles.

The League of American Wheelmen are preparing a set of road books which
give the best roads and routes to various points of interest.

The New York _Times_ published in their supplement for February 7th four
of these route maps.

They are most excellent. The hills, the character of the roads, the
railroad crossings, the trolley lines, are all marked with the greatest
accuracy. Even the awkward corners where trolleys are to be met are
marked, and the various rules and regulations of the villages which must
be passed are also given.

These four maps give trips to Mt. Vernon, to Bronx Park, and to New
Rochelle, over roads and byways with which the present writer is
thoroughly familiar, and the accuracy of these charts cannot be too highly
commended.
