In addition to these there is a run every
evening at 1880 O'Clock, all the runs starting
from No. 1880 Pennsylvania avenue. The
attendance on the runs has greatly increased
during tho past few weeks and the evening
runs are very inviting to the members as well
as to other wheelmen who are invited to accom-
pany the club members. At q recent meeting
OF the club several new members were elected,
and 1t is thought that the membership will
number fully 100 before many weeks have
passed.
Capt Jose. who is one Of the most popular club

for last Saturday night, the stay-at-homes to
make the trip Sunday morning. Among those
who went on the Saturday night trip were C.S.
Atwater, Z. o. Bowie, Frank Brewer and L.
j. Woodbridge. The Inequalities of the place
were extended usual and those who wanted
to sleep did as best they could. but there
was not much sleep for the "Roadsters." for
they were out for an enjoyable time, and they
had it.
Early IN the morning tho wheelmen enjoyed
the treats of nature about this delightfully."-
rural spot, and about noon they welcomed
Capt. Jose, Secretary G. W. Bennett, j. c.
Wood, c. ]. Ronsaville. A. c. Gensler, W. Fred
Sims, L. j. Dyer and others, who left here at
10 o'clock
Owing to the hot weather on Sunday it was de-
cided that there should be no scorching the
way to the falls, but some Alexandria riders on
the road complained of the slow pace. causing
the roadsters to increase their speed as far as
Cabin John. Beyond the bridge there was no
necessity for the increase for only one of the
Alexandria brethren was in the bunch and he
concluded that he would wait and join his own
party when they reached the bridge. At the
lock house the wheelmen put their iron horses
in the stable and then ferried across from Sandy
landing to the Virginia shore.
A stroll along the river was enjoyed, and
then the wheelmen demonstrated that their ap-
petites were in keeping with their speed on the
road. much TO the annoyance Of the fat spring
chickens which In the morning were at liberty
to EMO the beauties of nature In the after
noon, on the return trip, Capt. Jose set the
pace at u moderate gait and the party came
into the city together. being accompanied by
Mr. J. t. Mount of the Arlington wheelmen.
Monday morning Messrs. j. c. Wood, W.
Fred Sims, c. Z. Ganse, A. c. Moran and S.
Hunter, jr., will go to Bay Ridge to take part
in the cycle races there under the auspices Of
the Baltimore and Ohio pattern makers. and
with fair handicapping it is expected they will
capture some Of the prizes.
On Sunday, June Is. the initial century run
of the club will be made on the road between
here and Frederick. the start to be made from
the Hotel Arno at am.
CAPITAL BIZ: CLUB.
Sixteen members of the Capital Bi. Club re-
sponded to a call for a run to Brookville last
Sunday. and Capt. Writ set a hot weather pace.
which made the trip an easy one, and conse-
quently enjoyable, as all Of the trips of this
cluD are MADE. Inc WDeelmen IOunQ the road
in good condition, but the weather was warm
enough to make them take to tho shady side Of
the road to get out Of the sun, although the
light summer hats Of the club afford ventila-
ton and protection from the suns rays.
Accidents and collapsed tires did not figure in
this particular trip. and there was nothing to
cause a delay. When Brookville was reached
the wheelmen soon found themselves in good
luck. They had made arrangements to stop at
Mrs. Miller's for dinner, and SO had another
party, but the other party did not appear. and
SO Mrs. Miller assigned to them the task Of
clearing the table. which they could not do
only for the reason that Mrs Miller is a good
provider, and there was enough food on the
table to have fed the members of several clubs
day in the country was enjoyed by the
wheemen and the start home was not made
until late in the afternoon. But on the way
home the storm clouds appeared and there was
a lively scorch down the road for home. The
wheelmen succeeded in keeping clear Of the
clouds and preparation was the only cause Of
the dampness felt by the riders after they re-
turned home.
Tomorrow longer Journey will be made,
ton on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, short
distance this side Of Baltimore.
