There aro thousands of bicycle
riders in Buffalo, fast racors and
fancy men, women who do their
"century" in a day and many other
varieties of tho genus bicyclist. But
so far as wo are awaro there Is only
one man in Buffalo or anywhere else
who has successfully converted hla
bicyclo Into a family carriage with
comfortable srot3 for flvo. That is
Mr. Henry J. Von Scheldt, with his
four boys. On setting out the
wheel is steadied by tho father and
Johnny, tho youngest, Is lifted into
his place; then Arthur Is established
in front of him, nnd Willie climbs to
his place In front of all. Tho father
then tukes the saddle nnd when
under slow headway Henry runs
after and mounts to his seat behind.
In this wny tho father and four
boys have ridden over five hundred
miles this season, visiting Lancaster,
Tonawanda, Bellevue and other
neighboring towns, where, as in
Buffalo's parks and streets, they are
always much gazed at and admired.
They have never had an accident.
Tho frame which provides the extra
eats for the children was built by
Mr. Von Scheldt himself; it can betaken
off In a mlnuto and a half and
replaced In three mlnutos. Buffalo
