Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1889-10-08

Every effort has been made to the end that
the cyeiers' parade tonight shall be one Of the
greatest affairs of its kind ever known. II the
indications so far apparent are correct there
viii be fully one thousand wheels in line, each
adorned with two bobbing. giittering Chinese
lanterns, and, judging from the parade that
took place at the time of the Shepherd celebra-
ton a year ago, when there were less than 800
wheels in line, the parade tonight will extend
nearly over the lins of march at one time.
There will be, as stated. two Chinese lanterns
on each wheel, besides the hub lamp.
TIE LANTERNS
will be fastened to the handle bars by means of
long wires specially provided for the purpose.
These wires will extend about two fee: and
half ahead Of the machines The formation Of
the parade VIII be somewhat unique, occupying
TIE entire width Of the avenue. The club cap
E,iHs aud officers and division commanders will
ride on the paved space between the car tracks
OF close TO the tracks where the central space is
cobbled. and the other riders will be arranged
on either size, two on the right ana two on the
left. thus forming line of four abreast. The
men viii be eight feet apart, measuring across,
and fifteen feet behind or in front Of each
other. Thus every four wheels will OCCUPY a
width Of avenue fifteen feet long.
