new Boulevard on Thanksgiving Day,

quarters of the Clio Wheelmen, Crescent
and Belmont venues AL the clubs
have been notified OF the meeting and
it is hoped that every club will be rep
resented by a delegate. While the Clio
Wheelmen have shouldered the hard
work attending the arranging for the
| parade, it is the intention of the club
to have all the clubs in the county unite
for one purpose, that of making the pa
rade an affair which will surpass any
thing of the kind ever held in this vicin-
ity. The Boulevard is a boon to the
wheelmen and it's fine features are al
ready being recognized by New York
clubs, one of the largest of the clubs
in the big city across the river having
decided to hold it's annual road races
here or Election Day. That the road
will be the ~favorite route for wheelmen
in this vicinity is assured. Hence it
seems but proper that the cyclers of
Hudson County hould show their appre-
citation by turning out to a man on
Thanksgiving Day.

vited the wheelmen of New York and
Newark to participate and from replies
received to date there is every indica-
ton that the delegation of visiting
wheelmen will be a large one. The To-
cal wheelmen will nave an opportunity
to show their strength and it is hoped
that they will wake advantage of the OPP
portunity. Unattached wheelmen will re-
ceive as much attention as the clubs.
There will be a separate division for
these riders and they will be just as
much entitled to compete for the prizes
for the best decorated wheels as the
club members. Experienced wheelmen
will be placed in charge of the division.

Spokes from The wheel.
A rumor recently gained ground among
the racing bicyclists following the Ma
tional circuit hat the fve-mile cham
pionship was to be run off at Denver
last week, in addition to the one mile.
It appears that the fve-mile was as
signed early in the season to San Fran
cisco, and will be competed for in that
city at the two days race meet, be-
ginning. tomorrow.
"Head-on collisions between bicyclists,"
says an expert ARE entirely uncalled
for, and vet they occur frequently, and
are sometimes attended with serious re-
suits. A number of fatal mishaps of
the kind are on record. A year ago a
bright young man was killed in Hart
ford through such a collision. A few
days ago q tandem rider was killed in
Boston as a result of the double machine
crashing into the wheel of a single rider,
and during. the past year the newspapers
have. contained a dozen accounts of SIM
liar fatal accidents. 1t is a curious fact
brought about in the same way. The
two riders are approaching each other
rapidly from opposite directions on the
same side of the road, chosen because
of its special excellence. One rider
thinking perhaps that it would be easier
to pass on the left, turns to the left and
the other rider at the sauna instant
