season, nn.i it is not unlikely that a larger
range of choice will be offered t.. purchasers .if
bicycles. Everybody now is familiar with ?oars,
to ?i arrester or less ?'\tont, snd marly every ons
bas a pretty definite Idea aboul th" gear which
he thinks bes! adapted for him. Not Improbably
within a year or two general knowledge "f
cranks will also become diffused. The tendei
is in the direction of longer cranks, bul as there
has ,..n,i i.ii a tendency for th.? last year in ^? ? ? ?
direction of lower crank brackets, a conflict is
Inevitable, fur n long crank la Impossible with a
low brat ket. s ?ms exi erta Bay that a go? d pro?
portion is ona Inch of .rank to every t"n Inchea
of gear, a rider usinn a seventj i;<ar, therefore,
should have .'tanks seven Inchea long, it li?
ais, maintained by some that every sdditlonal
half-Inch <>f crank is ?quivalent to an addition
of five hi.h.s to the gear. The change tu a
longer crank brings Into play new muscles, or at
leasl changea l'a? muscle strain, situ'.- a larger
circle has t.. I'..- d.s.-rib-.I by th" foot, and it
must bo i"ft t" every rider to determine whal
length of crank is best f.T his individual use. it
would i"' well for th.? manufacturers, however,
to give larger opportunity of choice in cranks,
nn.l to furnish this part <>i the bicycle in quar
tor-lm h Blsea within certain 'units. An English
| man who has made us" ..f long cranks, and saya
that ho can ride one hundred milea sseaally with
thorn as he could ride sixty miles with shorter
ones, advises thai men up lo five feet elghl snd
a half Inchea in height should have eight-inch
cranks: bctw? n that ami live feel ten, elght
and-a-half-lnch cranks, and for all over five feel
ton. nlne-lni i cranks, on th.- ratio mentioned
above, these would be equivalent to gears of
, eighty, eighty-five and ninety. A hard-and-fast
rule of this kind, however, is not to be rigidly
adhered to.

A meeting of the Sunset Wheelmen was hel.l
Thursday evening at the clubhouse in Porty
fourth-st., Brooklyn. The meeting was prlnci
pally for the purpose of discussing plans for
the coming season, nn'l it was decided to n<i"pt
a new style of uniform. A committee was np
pointed to secure larger quarters for the club,
as the presort quarters are too small to ac
commodata the members. The club, it was
stated, was in a good financial condition, and
the membership was increasing rapidly. The
officers who have b.-en elected to serva for the
ensuing year are Charlea A. Hall, president;
Andrew Eckel, vice-president and treasurer;
Joseph Oberlies, secretary; Jacob Oberllea cap?
tain; Joseph Kling, first lieutenant; V
Keen, seei.nd lieutenant; Joseph Hartlg, first
sergeant; Thomas Meekln, s<.nd sergeant, and
William Bchweers, color-bearer.
Tickets for the Klnjrs County Wheelmen's p
n ptlon are al a premium, as a limited numb, r
only were authorized, and no persons can pass
through ths door of 11-,? - clubhouse unless they
present th<ir tickets. This has been decid? !
upon in order to prevent too great a number of
people from gaining admittance, as in the past,
on a number of occasions, the large elu!>h i
has been crowded owing to tickets not having
b. "ti demanded at the door. The Entertainment
Conn?tes bas completed all arrangementa In
connection with the affair, and it is the Inten?
tion to use the large wheelroon for refresh?
