...somebody to fix it up. Bicyclists are sadly in need of such a place to keep their machines in, and also it is a good place for a reading-room and billiard room.

The Pope Manufacturing Co. had last summer several agencies around the country, where they kept bicycles and tricycles to let; they also taught riding. Now, perhaps they could be prevailed upon to take one of these rooms and fit it up, having stalls which they would let to students for bicycles, the rent...

...Gordon gave a complete indication of the conduct of Gen. Fitz John Porter. When Pope advanced westward in pursuit of what he thought was the retreating enemy, he suddenly found himself confronted by Jackson's force. Pope was utterly ignorant of the fact that Longstreet had united with Jackson and now the right wing of the Confederate army.
