CHASED DEER ON BICYCLE. Animal Seemingly Enjoyed His Race With the Machine. C. D. Storms of Honcsdalo, Pn., was making n bicyclo trip on tho towpnth of tho abandoned Dclawaro & Hudson canal tho other day. Whon ho wns between Glen Eyro and Rowlnnd, In Pike county, says tho Now York Sun, a big buck sprang out of a thicket and Into tho canal Just ahead of him. Tho deer paused a moment nnd took a wondering look at tho man on tho wheel, nnd then went bounding along tho dry bod of tho big ditch. Storms put on all spocd, but tbo buok led him a chaso ot more than a mllo, keeping keep-ing well ahead of him. Coming to a lock In tho canal tho buck leaped out of tho canal at ono bound, cleared tho towpath at another, took to tho Lackawaxcn river, crossed to the other side, bounded across tho track of tho Erlo railroad's Honcsdalo Honcs-dalo branch, a few yards ahead of an oast-bound coal train, aud disappeared Into tho words.
