WHEELMEN IN LINE.
A Beautiful Bicycle Parade About
the City.

The parade of the Minneapolis bicy-
clists. POO strong, last evening, was as
pretty and inspiring a sight as has been
seen in Minneapolis for long time,
and was witnessed by thousands of peo-
pie. The Wheelmen met on Fourth
street, between First avenue south and
Nicollet,~and there formed in line. Each
wheel was handsomely decorated
with flowers, bunting and Chinese Ian
terms. Some Of the decorations were
artistic in the extreme and attracted
any amount of attention. The line OF
march was from down Fourth street to
Third avenue south, up to Tenth street,
over to Second avenue south, down to
Seventh street. over to Nicollet avenue,
down Nicollet to city hall, and back up
Nicollet avenue to the starting point on
Fourth street, all along the line the pa
rade was greeted with applause, but no
where was the cheering SO great ,aS on
Nicollet avenue, which thoroughfare
was literally packed. The wheelmen
made splendid showing. and no doubt
many people who witnessed the parade
will attend the bicycle races at the
Minnehaha driving park to-day.
