NEW CLUB.
The latest addition to the cycling clubs is the
Washington Cycle Pleasure Club, of which Mr..
II. E. johnson of No. 1905 4th street is secre-
tary, to whom applications for membership
should be sent. On Decoration day the club
turned out a few members and tried the road
between here and Marlboro. The rain the
night before had put the sandy patches In good
riding order, but the clay road was rather
heavy and required some exertlon to pull
through. The trip, however, was pleasant
one, and was enjoyed by Jesse W. Rawlings,

RUN TO BALTIMORE.
The Baltimore tour conducted by Harry
Highan,, IT,, last Sunday was a success, although
the wheelmen had an idea that some one had
sprinkled tacks along tho road. This conclusion
was reached after one tire had been punctured
six times, but Harry Higham was equal to the
occasion, and the patching up Of the tires
caused but little delay. Mr.. William Burk, one
Of the tourists. lost control Of his wheel on the
steep hill near Ellicott City, and the result was
that blackberry bushes and rough road surface
caused an injury to the riders head which re-
quired the attendance Of q physician, but no
such professional man was in the party, and
cold water applications gave temporary relief.
The actual riding time was five hours, while
two hours were spent in keeping out Of the
rain, patching tires and attending to the
wounded man.
The party returned home on q train.

The -Milburn road race Of twenty
five miles on Decoration day was the principal

race was one of the best ever seen on that road.
Ed. Terry Of the Arlington Wheelmen was the
only Washington rider who rode in the race.
He was put back with the crack riders Of the
country, bat he managed to hold his own pretty
well among the 149 riders and captured one Of
the time prizes. bronze medal.
