CYCLERS, ATTENTION
A Big Parade to Commem-
crate the Completion of
the New Boulevard.
TO BE HELD THANKSGIVING DAY
All the Clubs and Unattached
Wheelmen in the City In .s
yited to Participate.
TO BE HELD THANKSGIVING DAY

has met with the hearty endorsement of
the Road Committee of the Clio Wheel
men. and this enterprising organization
will take the matter in hand and carry
out the plan on a scale more elaborate
than what was at first anticipated. The
Road Committee of the Clio Wheelmen
held a special meeting last evening and
enthusiastically discussed the arrange
ments for the big celebration. The COM
mittee realized that it was a big UNDER
taking. but the members were more than
confident that they could make 1t a sue
cess. so they promptly decided to go
ahead. From now on the committee will
hustle as it never hustled before and
the result promises to be a surprise to
many of the people of Hudson county.
Having decided to commemorate the
completion of the Boulevard with a
monster parade the committee next de-
voted its attention to fixing a date.
Thanksgiving Day met with the approval
of all and so this holiday was selected
for the event. THIS may seem rather
early to commemorate the completion
of the road. out the road is now prac-
tically completed. a few blocks in the
Greenville section being all that remains
unfinished. Unless some unexpected OBJ
stacle looms UP the Greenville section
Will be linked to the Bergen section in a
very short time. surely by Thanksgiving
Day.
The committee decided to communicate
at once with all the cycling organizations
in the county with a view to having
them take an active part in Arranging
the affair. the ostensible purpose of the
parade being to bring out all the wheel
men in the county. All the clubs will be

a meeting which will be held at the Clio
WheeDmen's clubhouse. Crescent and
Belmont avenues. on Wednesday even
ing. October 80. when final arrangements
will be made. The Road Committee de-
cided that it would be best to make the
celebration in all-day affair. holding the
| parade in the morning and a series of
road races in the afternoon.
To induce the wheelmen to participate
in the parade numerous prizes will be
awarded. There will be prizes for the
best decorated wheels, for clubs with the
largest delegations, and last but not
least a souvenir medal or badge to every
wheelman andnsSheelwoman who partici-
pates. All the clubs in the Metropolitan
District will also be invited to partici-
pate, and if the committees hopes are
realized there will at least be 5000 wheel
men in line. For the afternoon the pro-
gramme has not yet been definitely de-
cided. 1t is the intention of the COM
mittee TO hold a ten mile handicap road
race for the championship of the county,
in which all wheelmen residing in the
county will be allowed to compete. Int
prize in this event will be well worth
competing for. More about the prize will
be said later on. This event Will no
doubt cause widespread interest among
the local wheelmen, and as 1t VIII pc a
handicap the entry list should be large.
The committee is considering me az
Visibility of holding club races In con-
nection with this event and a team race
for Hudson county clubs. The commit
tee will be prepared to confer WIN ~ s ,ns
