THE GEORGETOWN CLUB.

The Georgetown Club turned out a dozen
members last Sunday and went to Dickey's,
where they had made arrangements for dinner
in advance, and Capt. Cook had everything in
readiness for the club members
When the club house was reached and Messrs
Saadoe and Larcombe of the Arlington Wheel
men were met the word was passed along the
line for a ''scorch." Then, for the first time,
the Georgetown wheelmen were made aware of
the approach of the road club ''scorchers, :"
and from that point the Georgetown riders lost
no time in reaching Sandy Landing.
The usual enjoyable day was spent at Dickey's
and the wheelmen left there in time to get
good start ahead of the road club.
Tomorrow a run to Cabin John bridge will
be made in order to make the return trip early
in the day.
Capt. Cook has prepared a schedule OF runs
from now until ,Iune 1 AS follows.

ADVANTAGES OF THE GAME.

To an observer the game seemed to be one
that will solve the pro blem, which has been a
knotty one for some time, of introducing a
game which will meet the excitement incident
to most outdoor sports and at the same time
be suitable for indoor play. At present when
the outdoor season closes most of the athletes
drop the sports in which they have been in
terested and the benefits they derived from
them are lost This game is one that requires
skill and agility. but strength is not one of the
necessary factors. and. consequently, men of
all physical conditions can take part in it. 1t
has also been found to have been a useful
sport for girls and women. as it is especially

side of the road. The pneumatic tires went owe,
the new metal without the slightest difficulty,
but those who were unfortunate enough to have
a solid or cushion-tired wheel, to use the cur
rent language of the street, 'were not in it."
Probably the largest number of wheelmen

Sunday was an exception TO the rule, for more
than one fisherman was told that the wait for
dinner would be indefinite On account of the
number OF cyclists whose appetites for chicken
had been sharpened by the ride and after din
/ ner the wheeimen thought that sharp teeth were
more necessary than sharp appetites.
THE WASHINGTON ROAD CLUB.
The Washington Road Club took its initial
run Sunday morning and turned out more than
| fifteen members. Capt. Jose had his members
together early in the morning and they started
from Graves wheel establishment on i4th
street. The run had been called for Cabin
John bridge. but the weather proved so fine
that the wneelmen did not stop at the bridge
but followed Capt Jose over the picturesque
road just north of the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal above the Anglers Club house until the first
OF the seven locks was reached, and then the
wheelmen went through the woods from the
canal to Sandy landing and we're ferried across
| the river in one of Dickey's small boats.
good dinner had been anticipated and the
| road riders thought they would have things
their own way. but they were mistaken. for the
Georgetown cyclers we're ahead OF them and
were seated at the dinner table when they ar
rived, but the children were sent out to catch
an additional supply of chickens and the wo-
men folks went to work to get ready an in
creased supply Of hot biscuits.
Dinner was enjoyed. and after spending some
time about the falls Capt. Jose started home on
lively ''scorch'' down the road and the fast
riders. being recognized, gave the appearance
of genuine road race.
Among those who tnrned out on the initial
run of the club were Messrs. Anderson. Brewer
j. NJ. S. Bowie. Z. C. Bowie. French, Demonet
Fisher, Ganse. Gensler, Hinkle, Lands, How
enstein. Mcmahon, Simpson, Newman, Sims
and Woodbridge.
Last nights run WAS called for Highview. Va
Tomorrow being Easter Sunday the club will
take only short run and will probably go as
far as Takoma in order to return home early in
the day, as the members desire to be in the city
during the afternoon.
