DISAGREE WITH COMII7TEE.
Wheelmen Don't Wish to be Excluded from
the Public Pnrks.

The action of the Committee on Grounds
and Buildings. who on Thursday decided
TO recommend to the Council the passage
of an ordinance preventing bicycle hing
in the public parks. is severely criticised
by some of the whcclmen.
Mr.. c. w. Dunstan, who represents the
League Of American Wheemen. talkcI
very freely yesterday, and said that II
any such ordinance was passed II would
break up cycle riding in Richmond 10 u
certain extent. Then. too. this city would
be the only one in the Union that pro-
hibited riding in the public parks II is
true. said Mr.. Dunstan. that there are
some ten or twelve careless riders in
the city, but he could not see why two
hundred should be made 10 suffer for the
acts OF few.
Mr.. Dunstan was Of the opinion that II
an ordinance was passed compelling all
bicycle riders TO have bell for use in the
day time and a lighted lamp for use at
night the trouble would be Obviated.
Governor O'Ferrall issued an order some
time ago prohibiting rIIing In the Capitol
Square. This the wheelmen consider a
hardship. They claim that the Capitol Is
the most convenient place IN the city for
them TO meet
The keeper Of Monroe Park will not
allow bicycle riding in his park I'm the

Der Of children playing about. This the
riders do not object TO. Bicycle riders
in Manchester are compelled 10 use a
lighted lamp at night and bell in the
day time.
