(1) An Italian names Scurri who became an expert at riding a one-wheel `monocycle` after he accidentally buckled the rear wheel of his high-wheel bicycle. Scurri became so proficient that he ended up performing in the circus and became a favorite in entertainment circles.
(2) At the Crystal Palace in London, a year or two ago (1887-1888) a man rode onto a platform and while riding around took the machine to pieces until at last, he was standing upright, working only the big wheel, on which he rode off.
(3) In New Haven, Dan Canary taught himself 74 different ways to mount his high-wheel bicycle.
