Tb* new tulky has a pneumatic-tire wb**l, with a high aeat resembling the ordinary bicycle seat in it* mechanism. It is attached by solid steel rodt to the shafts. The traces are short and tbe abaft* are given no play at all, to th* wheel will run smoothly and be a* easy to ride a* an ordinary sulky. Ther* i* no danger of the hoof* striking th* wheel, and it i* claimed that th* tulky 'ielp* the hone to keen an even and well- Mlanced gait. The axle hat ball bearings, ike a bicycle. John Ktlly, the well-known track Iriver, gave torn* particular* about th* iew tulky. "Two or three inventors are figuring on tone-wheel pneumatic solky," said Mr. Kelly. "In INO-J the pneumatic sulkies kpread over th* country like wildfire, and the result was that nearly every trotting and pacing record wa* reduced.

He hadstarted with two guide* and pro- visions for ten dayt' exploration of the five peak* forming the cretl of Ruap*ho am fencing it* famout crater lake. H* got hal way up the mountain tide, when hi* progress was greaily retarded by a fresh fall of snow a moat unusual thing at this season.

A one-wheel sulky ierined to be th* ideal generally decided m. "I have examined some queer contrivance*. One Buffalo chap showed me a one-wheel i lulky fashioned of barrel hoop* and s'nnu, t rough-looking device, but it thowed he j had the mtin idea allrieht. The principle i* a small rubber tire wheel.

" It it claimed that wh;n the, horse is speeding the wheel, horse and man will be to perfectly balanced by th* rigid shaft* and the forward *eat, at to n-ak* a perfect union. The inventon claim that there will h* no danger of an upset or of the horse being thrown out of his itrid* at the turni; in fact, that it will increase th* tp*ed of both trotters aud pavers fully two or three seconds t-i th* mile "I'ersooslly" concluded Mr. Kslly, "lam rathar skeptical about th* advantage* claimed. Rut I don't want to deny the menu of the new idea flatly, for I remem- ber how the two-wheeled pneumatic sulky njiti-t all the old notiont of trotting-hors* drivsrs. To my mind two wheel* are need- ed to baltnce the horte, especially on the t n r TH At preeent the rubber tire* run to smoothly that the horse ha* no friction to overcome, and i* practically not handicap- ped by ths weight of the driver. At th* turns the driver's weight, however, count-. er. i:t th* ilight tendency to swerve of the pneumatic wheels, an important point, and at all tliree the action of the horte is un- impeded by tight harnees or th* olosenaa* of ths tulky. I csonot endorse th* one- wheel Idea until I have tried it, "The outlook is that at the present rate of speed procreation we will tee the two- minute harness hone in a few seasons. I am willing to keep on trying fnr the record in the two-wheeled sulky, without taking any chances." A number of patents covering one- wheel tinkles have been riled at Wathington, and if the inventor* ar* not too sanguine of success they will be seen on the track* next season. Whether the speed is in- creased or not it will h* interesting to see th* *ip*rim*nt* tried. more uneasy, and entreated Carr to break camp and decend before the troption, which thty anticipated would overwhelm them, "You think the mountain will give fire- works far our benefit, do you ?" wat Carr'* comment. "This it glorious ; we will not disappoint old Kuapehu of his audience." Hut the guide* were not so enthusiastic, and finally announced that they were going, whether he would or not, "Very good," was Carr'* reply, "1 will suy." Then he paid them their wages for the portion of the trip only that they had actu- ally performed. They hastily retraced their steps, and the very next day showers of mud, which invambly precede active erup- tions, commenced. The guide* decided that their late employer mutt be overwhelmed, and great wa* their surprise two days later to be rejoined by him at the base of the mountain. He was scalded from bead to foot i his left arm was broken, and there were bruises and cuts on every part of hi* body where h* had been (truck by ttonee which rained from the mountain top. Hardly bad th* party reconnected when the eruption proper commenced, and for days the tight was a magnificent though awful one. Kuapehu first sent a great column of steam like a giantgeyser many ihooaand feet in th* air. Then there wat a panic.
