The souvenir medal which VIII De
given to every wheelmsn and wheelwom-
an who participates in the big parade in
commemoration IF the completion of the
new Boulevard will be a thing of beauty
and well worth a place on any wheel
mans breast. The selection of a SOU
venir was a matter that gave the Road
Committee of the Clio Wheelmen no
small amount of worriment. The COM
mittee realized that the majority of the
wheelr1en would prefer a souvenir that
would wear for years, even if they had
to pay for it. so the present white metal
souvenir was decided upon The souvenir
will be in the shape of a medal. There
will be a bar with the word Souvenir in
relief. Fastened to this will be q blue,
and dangling at the end of the ribbon
will be a medal disk with the Clos en-
blem. Or the reverse side will be the
inscription, Opening of the Hudson
County Boulevard, Jersey City, Thurs
day. October IS, 1896" The committee
has decided to charge ten cents for each
souvenir, but this will be only a small
part of the cost When the wheelmen
see the souvenirs they will be more thai
willing to pay this amount for them Ii,
however, the committee finds that 1t
has enough funds on hand no charge will
be made for the souvenirs. The COM
mittee reports that unusual interest is
being manifested in the parade by the
wheelmen of of the county. and that from
the reports received from the clubs 1t is
safe to estimate that at least 5000 wheel
men will be in line.

Spokes from the Wheel.
Owing to. the filing of several claims,
the awarding Of the 1925 grand piano
offered by Colonel Pope to the club,
whose rider made the best time in a
twenty-five mile o race between May
/ n October l, has been somewhat de-
layed. One claim has been filed for a
record mad on October 5, but none such
will be considered, and another claim for
a record, made on the Belle Isle course
at Detroit, is in the hands of the COM
mitbee. There is little doubt, however,
that the Parkside Wheel Club of Buff
falo, has the best s~ubstantiated claim
so far produced, and the affidavits are
being investigated by the. Century Road
Club officials, who have their vertical
ton in charge. In the meantime C. T.
