"On the Fourth of July my first move in the morning was to a bicycle store, where I got a new tire and put in 14 new spokes, and then took the motor apart. The piston rings were worn pretty thin but looked as if they would still give service, so at 2:30 p.m. I started from Albany. Four miles out, I gave it up. The motor would not explode as it should. I went back to the bicycle store in Albany and worked on the problem there until night. Then I went to see the fireworks and forget about it."
On the morning of the 4th I went to the agency of J. W. Anderson, and between us we got the motor in good shape. I left Albany at 2:30, but motor trouble forced me to put back after I had gotten four miles out of town. Bicycling World & Motorcycle Review, col 2 top, page 466
