CLOSING EVENTS OF THE "MEET."
The annual parade OF the League Of American
Wheelmen occurred this morning. The procession
formed in the vicinity of the Arlington hotel the
nrst division resting on street, the second on NJ
and the third on along 18th. There was some de-
ley In starting, owing to the failure the part Of
clubs to report until this morning. While the pro-
cess1On was forming the scene about the Arlington
was an animated one On both sides OF the wide
stretch OF asphalt pavement were stacked the ma
chlnes, forming gltter1ng masses OF metal Throngs
OF people occupied the sidewalks, watching the ar
nvai OF the wheelmen. The smooth open surface OF
the street, and, perhaps, the large number Of curl
GUS and admir1ng eyes, tempted a number OF the
riders to feats OF skill on their machines, which
were rewarded with generous applause by the spec
tatorS The clubs, as they arrived, were met by
one OF the aides, mounted on a machine, and d.
aected TO their proper place In the line This was
~ a without the noise and confusion which
order TO march, sounded by the buglerS, was not
given until after 10 O'Clock.
