parade came about fifty membersOf the
bicycle club, the safetes on one SIDE
and the high fellows on the other.
There were several lady riders and they
made a fine appearance as did also the
| whole number with their machines
tastefully decorated and many of them
| carving banners and flags. They made
turn or two and received warm APP
/ plause from the visitors as well As from
! the thousands gathered IA the streets,
! in Campau Place and IN the windows.
This was the first time many of the
delegates had ever sec. ladies riding
bicycles, and it was indeed "A novelty.
| Two little fOlks-a girl and bOy-Who
! could not have been over ten years OF
age rode safetes with the precision and
care of the older ones.
As soon as the parade was over the
military companies marched into the
area left vacant on Campau Place.
Companies b and X formed "A line
about the place tokeep back the crowd,
while Company / gave an exhibition
drill. Seldom If ever did the company
appear TO better advantage, and as they
executed the commands round after
round of applause rent the air. The
drill lasted about fifteen minutes and
then the guests were driven 10 the
Morton House for luncheon at 1870.
