LakeView course.
A good sleep for the tired wheelmen
Is booked for Alliance tonight.

Independent, attended the banquet.
Fat bicyclers we're scarce in the par
ale; the exercises seems to dispose of
superhuous flesh.
The ScorChers Run was dispensed with
this morning, on account Of the few
entries; the boys didn't care to be
"scOrched."
The street parade was four blocks
long and was gazed upon by larger
