Volume 99 — BREAKING A RECORD ON A WHEEL!
Reading edition
Break, break, break! On thy "Safety" swift, oh, "crack!" And I would that my tongue could utter My thoughts on the cyclist's track. Oh, well for MECREDY, the "bhoy," That "records" for him won't stay; And well for OSMOND and WOOD That they break them every day. And the "Safeties" still improve, And their riders develope more skill; And it's oh! for the records of yesterday! To-morrow they'll all be nil! Break! break! break! On thy wheels, oh, S.B.C.! But the grace of KEITH FALCONER, CORTIS, and KEEN, Will they ever come back to me?
