CYCLE SHOW CONTINUES
An Excellent Attendance on the Second
Night
The Booths Crowded All the Evening With
sightseers-An Excellent Program,
Including Juvenile Race

The cycle show at Hazards pavilion con-
tinues with unabated success. Last night
the attendance was larger than on the
opening night and the program was even
more pleasing. Quite number of well
known society people were there, and the
affair promises to be decided social sue
cess.
The display of wheels is a very fine one.
Some of the firms have the advantage over
others in that they have all the different
models of their '96 patterns to exhibit,
while others have only q single sample to
display The futile Mercantile company
worked the wires hot and heavy and got 8
different models in "a O'Clock on the day
the show opened. Its very handsome dis
play of the Crimson Rim bicycles attracts
every visitor that enters the hall.
The big trplet that is up in front of the
Stearns booth is a source of curiosity to the
uninitiated, and the Yellow error, as
Pinto jenkins is now called, is kept busy
telling tho people of the numerous and
divers fast miles and things that the in
vention has seen.
In the same row, the exhibit of the L. W.
Fox Cycle and Arms company compares
favorably with any ether i'll the hall.
The "split twins as the Fowler and
America are called in the trade, have about
all the colors of tile rainbow in the different
enamels that they show. and are glaran-
teed to suit all compilations. But the
booth that att acts the ladies as honey at
tracts bees is where the arsial. Cloak
aud Suit company are showing all the
swagger things in feminine bicy Gle toys.
II is quite enough to convert a woman to
cycling to see the nice things that she may
wear on IA wheel. The men who attend
the show are equally attentive to the dis
play of the London Clothing company,
where all sorts of devices to induce the
unwary to display their calves in cycling
dress are displayed.
The program was exceptionally good.
Mr.. and Mrs. Odds played charmingly on
the cOrnet and were rOundiy encoIed.
Then the boys of the bicycle squad of the
Signal corps came on: and enacted mock
battle in a most realistic manner They
gavS a clever drill on their wheels, and
then showed the various movements of a
surprise and call to arms, all orders being
given by bugle call. The trick riding OF
the trio, William Obenatier, Claude Leslie
and Charles Rose, was remarkably good.
their clever standstill work receiving great
applause. After doing vari ,uS tricks on
their wheels they all climbed on one bicy-
Gle and gave very pretty exhibition of
pyramid riding.
But the event of the evening was the
great juvenile race between Crimson Rim
hniD ElyluR IaltIdce JENKINS. Mt.
Jenkins was mounted on a bicycle that had
fourteen-inch wheels and a seat post three
feet long When the start was given the
cracks went away together and there was
wonderful neck and neck race. Several
times Pinto would try and cut the wary
hnppenberg out, but lie latter invariably
appeal d to the judges in such n tearfully
pleading manner that his competi,or was
fain TO win by fair means. When they
made the last turn they were neck and
neck, but at the tape knip managed by
herculean effort to lose the race by about
three inches, and with his famuos warwhoop
the triumphant Pinto sailed in first. No
time was taken as the ordinary stop watch
only records thirty minutes.
Dancing was begun at $3.50. and the floor
was we'll filled with the many couples who
had stayed to enjoy this part OF the ex-
position. Tonight will be the last of
the show, and then the people who
have the matter in charge will know
whether they can make this a yearly event
or not.
