bicyclist who had designs on the prize
himself, nnd the next day M. Lyon went
to England, and calling at the bicycle
office of a bicycle-maker at Beeston,
informed him that he wanted a bicycle
made, shaped as much like the Eiffel
Tower as possible.
The dealer thought he was talking
with a crazy man at first, but Lyon
convinced him that ho was in earnest
and the two went to work and designed
the ridiculous-looking, but, neverthe-
less, rldeable machine which is now on
exhibition in this city. The manufac-
turer called it the "giraffe bicycle," but
M. Lyon insisted on calling It the "Eif-
fel Tower Bicycle," and under the latter
name It was entered In the Paris pa-

rider appeared on the street there was
no doubt about the winner of the prize.
