past year, the clubs have made little or
no effort in the direction of securing the
much needed improvement of our high
ways" said a well known wheelman last
| evening. True, the present year mas
witnessed the completion of the Boule-
ward and the Improvement of Garneio
| and Arlington avenues, but our greatest
need has not yet been furnished. what
we need and need badly are a few good
| roads tina will allow us to leave the
city without shipping our bicycles on the
| railroad trains. The t-horoughfares lead
ing to the ferries are VIGOROUSLY pad.
Montgomery street is a business thor
oughfare, much used by business vehicles
and we cannot expect the powers uhat
be to improve it for the wheelmen. But
then there is Grand street. 1t is q VIDE
thoroughfare and leads to the ferry. 1t
is one of the worst paved streets IN the
city, but there is no reason why it should
not be improved. If the Street and
Water Commissioners do not believe in
spending any of the city's money IN IT'S
Improvement, let the wheelmen ak the
matter in hand and by means of a sub
~scription list raise sufficient money to
lay an asphalt strip three or four feet
wide from macadamized Arlington avenue
to Hudson street. Wheelmen then would
have a fine road from the ferry to Ber-
gen Point. Let the clubs agitate this
project and the unattached wheelmen and
lovers of the sport generally will give
them hearty support"
Arcanum Scorchers.
In booming their membership the Ar
canum Wheelmen have not overlooked
the racing element. This was shown at
the ten-mile road race on Thursday. The
winner, j. Walker, is an Arcanum cycIlst,
while the third man, George Seitz, also
wore the purple car. At the last meet
ing j. H. Livingston, who. under the
colors of the DEFIANT Greenville Wheel
men,, proved himself a fast one" was
elected to membership. The club has de-
cided to offer inducements to the racing
element, and a series of club races for
valuable prizes has been scheduled for
next season.
