The Run of the Portland wheel Club

Everybody mount" said Captain Aver, and at
precisely quarter of two yesterday afternoon 26
members of the Portland Wheel Club turned into
Congress street from Brown to start on the first
"run" of the season. Wheeling past the large
crowd gathered at the head of Preble street,
waiting to start for the ball game, the long single
line of cyclers attracted much attention. Cross
ing the harbor on the 2 p. m. ferry, the fun
of the day at once began. The route followed was
along the shore road of the Cape, 'wheelingly"
famous for its hard hills For few miles the
crowd kept together but then even the slow pace
set began to prove too much, and stragglers be.
came more and more frequent Safeties were rid
den by almost every one of the crowd, and various
we're the makes represented. Scattered among
them were, however, two Eagles and three or four
"ordinaries." At what was formerly the Prospect
House dismount was ordered and wait had for
all to catch up Proceeding, the next stop was at
Pond Cove school house, where the road race OF
the Pine Tree Wheelmen was to end. The lead
ing men of the race were received enthusiastic
ally, and made excellent time, considering the
conditions. The bowling wind prevented a long
stop and shortly the return was started. 1t was
hard pull home, with the wind often dead ahead.
Puff ng almost as loudly as the new steam engine,
a few rode all the hills, but more preferred walk
ing. At o'clock all were back in the city. The
run was great success and without accident.
The riding was difficult because Of the gale, but
