At the tenth anniversary banquet Of the
Buffalo, New York, bicycle club, DIR. Z. :.
Butler responded to the toi ST of the L. A
W. as follows: 81 know of no better word
picture as a comparison for the destiny OF
the League of American Wheeimen than
this: Among the legends o. the late civil
war there is a story of a dinner party given
by Americans residing in Paris, at which
were propounded sundry toasts concerning
not so much the past and present as the
glories of the great American
nation. Here's to the United States said
the first speaker, bounded on the north by
British America, on the south by the Gulf
of Mexico, on the east by the Atlantic and
on the west by the Pacific ocean, but
said the second speaker, this is far too
limited view Of the subject; in assigning
our boundaries we must look to the great
and glorious future described for US by the
manifest destiny of the Anglo Saxon race
Here's to the United States, bounded on
the north by the north pole, on the south
by the south pole, on the east by the rising
sun and on the west by the setting SUM-
But here arose the third speaker: ''If we
are going said this patriotic American, to
leave the historic past and present and take
our manifest destiny into the account, why
restrict ourselves into such narrow limits!
l give you the United States bounded on the
north by the aurora borealis on the south
by the procession of the equinoxes, on the
east by the primeval chaos and on the west
by the day of judgment. Such are the
unbounded possibilities of the League OF
American Wheelmen. The objects of the
league were, during its first period of exist
ence for the development of social organ
ization, and later its energies were directed
to the regulation of racing, and at the pres
ent time, the doctor said, "A question para
mount to all others, question of vital i'm
portance to all wheelmen, of infinite bene-
tit to the country at large was the rights of
the wheel in the parks, and the improve
ment of the roads and public highways.
This is a stupendous task, but we will
triumph in t!''
