Plans for Many Runs by Bicyclists Tomor-
row-Visitors to BE Entertainsd.
Uncle Jerry Rusk has promised fair weather
till tomorrow night, and the members of the
various bicycle clubs in the city are anticipat-
ing good time. The roads are now in fair
condition, and most of them will be travelled
tomorrow either by club members or unattached
wheelmen.
The Columbia Club will have the largest
number on the road, as in addition to their
own members they will have about twenty-five
members Of the Chesapeake Club from Balti-
more.
The visitors will not reach here until after 9
o'clock. and for that reason the start will not
be made until about 1890. From the club
house they will go to the Great Falls, where
dinner will be spread beneath the large shade
trees overlooking the falls.
LONG CLUB RIDE.
The Crescent Century Club have O run on
hand for tomorrow, which will be the longest
club ride taken. They will start early in the
morning and ride to Offutt's cross roads via
the Conduit road, leaving the Conduit near Nc
Quades. From Ohutt's cross roads the club
will proceed to Edwards Ferry. where the
river will be crossed and the hundred-mile
riders will continue their journey to Leesburg,
where they will arrive in time for dinner. The
return trip will be made over the Leesburg
pike through Virginia, crossing the Free bridge.
The Arlingtons will make their usual Sunday
run through the country, as will a number Of
the Eomads. About forty members Of the
Nomads went to fayetteville Wednesday even
ing, where they were handsomely entertained
by Miss Lewis Bowen. There were several in
vited guests besides the members Of the club.
The evening was spent in dancing and music,
after which tho party sat down to an elegant
spread prepared by the hostess.
STAG Run AND SMOKER.
The Thursday night stag run and smoker OF
the different clubs was attended by nearly sew
enty-five wheelmen. The threatening weather
frightened of some Of the boys, but those who
attended were fully repaid for the chances they
took of getting shower bath. The smoker
was held at Brightwood on Magnolia avenue
and during the evening the large plates Of to-
bacco and boxes Of pipes disappeared and on
tho return many OF the club uniforms were
decorated with pipes.
This evening there IL to be o special run OF
the Nomad Club to Soldiers Home, and. the
members Of the Crescent Century Club will
also make the trip, to get themselves in con-
dition for the hundred-mile run tomorrow.
The three great race meetings Of the year
are movements that have passed into history,
and the results have proved beyond question
that Zimmerman and Windle have not peer

Bulietua. AS to which is the best man of these
two is still o mooted question. We incline Ia
the belief that this matter will never be salts

mile, half mile and quarter mile. II such q
series could be arranged, say on the Spring
field track, we believe that public interest would
be SO great that thousands would pay an ad
