WARRINGTON, July 20.-The President
yesterday reviewed the annual parade Of
tho L. A. w. from the front portHo of
the White House. About 1000 men were
in line and they made fine appearances.
A detachment Of police on safeties led the
procession, and the bicycle corps of the
National Guard acted as an escort to
President Burdstt's stan.
The fact that the safety bicy-
Gle with pneumatic and cushion
tires 10 the fashion Of the hour, was
strikingly shown by Its overwhelming
prominence In the parade. There were
probably not more than . hundred up
rights In line. The parade was remark
ably free from accidents and only one
stop was necessary from this cause In GO
ing by the President.
The coming OF the Indiana contingent
with pennant announcing their state
was applauded by the crowd. The Presi-
dent had graciously acknowledged all the
salutations of the wheelmen but was
especially cordial towards the riders
from his own state.
Rhode Island, captained by II. G. Far
mum, headed the second division, made
up OF representatives from Tennessee,
California, Colorado, Nebraska, West
Virginia, Maine, Kansas, Wyoming, vir-
Georgia, Montana and North Carolina
and Virginia.
In the afternoon 1000 persons went to
Analostan Island opposite Georgetown,
where the first days races were run. The
weather was cool and clear. Tho racing
was interesting, but bad track prevent
ed record breaking. The Columbia Ath-
letic Clubs track Is smooth, but II is too
narrow and the turns are sharp. 1t Is
quarter mile circular affair and slopes
heavily from tide outside.
