II KMSU 81 able season Following
NLS the hot weather the cool
mornings and evenings
OF the fall months afford the wheelmen much
pleasure, and not until the weather becomes
cold or rainy are the country runs abandoned
by the numerous clubs. The past season was
probably the most enjoyable in bicycle circles
for numerous reasons, one, and perhaps the
principal one, being the much improved con-
d1tIon of the roads in and about the District.
Last summers meet of the League of American
Wheelmen proved such a success and left the
treasury of the local division In such healthy
condition that the officers Of the league
concluded to give the members big time in
the country. Last Wednesday night the
time selected for the affair, and nearly 200
wheelmen enjoyed the big oyster roast and
smoker which was one of the many successful
events of the local division.
Chief Consul Stinemetz, Vice Consul Church
ill and Secretary Stearns did the work con-
nected with the run, and to them belongs the
credit Of the successful event. The place selected
was the grounds Of the new hotel on the hill
tops overlooking the Potomac from the Virginia
side of the river at the Chain bridge. A large
'rencn was Jug III 'ne Sfouno, ana the IRON
plates were arranged in a manner to give plenty
of room for the heavy pine logs that made
red-hot fire. Three dozen barrels OF fine
luscious bivalves we're provided, and the ap-
