TOURING.
Of all branches of the sport of 'Cycling, Touring certainly takes
the lead tor the solid enjoyment it affords the participant.
To those who have experienced the health-giving pleasures of a
vyeek's trip across the country on a trusty wheel, the story of the de-
lightful runs in the bracing morning air while the grass is still spark-
ling with the dew, and everything is permeated with the cool freshness
of a new day, is an old and pleasant one. So, too, are the remem-
brances of the limitless appetites which made the largest country
breakfast look small ; and the delightful lounge on the grass in some
shady' spot during the hot and dusty afternoon, or a visit to some
point of interest, or specially attractive bit of scenery, the whole fol-
lowed by a brisk run of a few miles in the evening to some small hotel,
or perchance a farmhouse, where the homely cordiality of the welcome
he receives, and the downy softness of the pillows contribute to such
a night's sleep as will be remembered for many a day by the tourist.
We trust that this, the first Road Book of Western New York,
describing, as it does, routes covering a total distance of over 1,200
miles, will prove useful to touring wheelmen, and be a help and
inceritive to that most delightful of all recreations, country touring.
It is, we appreciate, fragmentary and incomplete, and in some cases
perhaps inaccurate. We should be glad to be notified of any mistakes
discovered, and also to receive from wheelmen suggestions which may
materially add to the value of future editions of the book.
We should also be pleased to receive, from time to time, reports of
the condition of roads in this section, which we shall keep posted in
a conspicuous place in our office, for the convenience of all wheelmen.
Whatever tends to increase and advance the interest in 'cycling
is worthy the hearty support of all those who by many happy expe-
riences have learned to regard the wheel as their best friend, and for
that reason we give the following list of Road Books and of the more
important cycling journals, hoping by calling the attention of riders
to these publications, to induce them to subscribe for some one of the
same, and thus put themselves in receipt of all the news of the sport,
and keep posted as to the latest improvements in their favorite mounts

Purchasers should designate by what express company
or freight line the goods are desired to be shipped; and
in sending us their orders, the address of the purchaser
should be very plainly written, to guard against misdirec-
tion on our part.
Freight and express charges must be paid by pur-
chasers. All goods shipped at purchaser's risk.
The InstaliTLEiit Flan.
Realizing that the price of a bicycle or tricycle deters
many from purchasing, we have adopted this system,
and are prepared to sell to those who furnish us with
satisfactory references any bicycle or tricycle from our
stock on this plan. We do not charge an exorbitant
price on this system, but merely an advance over the
cash price of enough to cover interest and cost of trans-
acting the business. We shall be pleased to furnish our
circulars and terms on application.
REpairing; NickEl-Plating and
Painting a SpEcialty,
Our facilities for doing all kinds of DIFFICULT RE-
PAIRS are unexcelled. It is never economical, and
often disastrous, to intrust bicycle or tricycle repairs to
inexperienced mechanics. We employ skilled bicycle
machinists, and provide for their use the necessary tools
to insure accuracy and good work; by so doing we are
enabled to properly execute repair work of every descrip-
tion. We pay particular attention to repair work sent us
from out of town. Our Mr. E. N. Bowen gives to this
department his personal supervision. Our patrons may
rest assured that all work intrusted to us will be promptly
and satisfactorily done at moderate prices.
'^^ Machines sent us by express or freight should be
plainly addressed, and marked with the name and address
of the sender.
^M° Instructions should reach us by mail, not later
than the machine to be repaired.
Noies.— The road to Alden is
very nearly straight, and is one
of the best roads leading out of
Buffalo.
From Alden to Warsaw the
tourist is advised to take the
road-bed of the Erie R. R. , which
is always hard, smooth and fast,
and but few dismounts are neces-
sary.
At Warsaw, take the road ; for
10 miles there are no turns. Then
T. L., and after 1 mile T. R. to
Gainesville, whence the road is
straight to Portage. There go
through village and up hill. T. R.
to Cascade House. Straight road
between Hunt's and Dalton. The
R. R. is crossed twice between
Swainsville and Garwood. With-
in 1 mile of Arkport T. L. and
cross the valley. When 1 mile
oui of Arkport T. L., and after
% mile T. R. After ]4 mile more
T. L. , and in 200 yds. T. R. ; then
3 miles to Hornellsville.
From Hornellsville follow right
bank of Canisteo River.
One mile from Canisteo T. L.,
]4 mile more T. R., follow to left
of R. R. From Adrian, follow
left side of R. R. Rest of road
direct down the valley. From
Painted Post to Corning the road
is a cinder one.
At Gibson, cross bridge. At
Big Flats, T. R. Ford's Hill not
safe to coast coming fro7n El-

THE BUFFSLO HOME TRSINER
Affords the best possible
means of exercising the legs,
lungs and heart. By its use
riders may keep in good prac-
tice and condition during the
winter or bad weather. ' Es-
pecially useful for acquiring
quick pedaling. By means of
a scale attached to the brake,
the amount of resistance may
be determined. This is the
only Trainer possessing this
advantage. Adjustable to any
length of leg — a feature that
makes it particularly desirable
for
GYMNASIUMS
AND
BICYCLE CLUB ROOMS.
The Trainer is fitted with The
American Adjustable Saddle,
attached to the backbone with
the Buffalo Saddle Clip, ad-
mitting of an adjustment fore
and aft. Parallel pedals, ad-
justable to different lengths of
throw, and a cyclometer with
bell that rings at every quarter
mile.
A NECESSITY FOR DEALERS.
By means of a scale on the adjusting rod, dealers can,
without trouble, demonstrate to intending purchasers the
exact sized bicycle suitable.

keep on straight to end of road.
T. R. to Versailles, there cross
bridge and T. L.; keep straight
on till smooth road is reached,
then take first T. R. to North
Collins.
This is a roundabout way to
Perrysburgh, but is much more
level than the direct road, which
is 4 miles in length and hilly. By
taking it in reverse, the tourist
may go to Dayton from North
Collins by an easier route, though
longer than that given in No. 6.
Directions for the direct road
are as follows : ^ mile out
of Dayton T. R., J^ mile fur-
ther T. R., then walk ^ mile up
hill and you have a steep coast,
requiring a strong brake, to Per-
rysburgh. This is a good gravel
road, and should be taken if the
tourist is in a hurry.
