PLEASANT WEATHER BRINGS OUT
CROWDS OF WHEELMEN.
DIRECTIONS TO THE THREE-cENT BRIDGE TOLL
ANNUAL CENTURY OF THE SOUTH BROOK
LYN wHEEIMEN-CLUR RUNS FOR
THE HARLEM RIDERS.

Yesterday was a delightful day for wheeling and
the roads were thronged with cyclists all day and
far into the night. The large number OF club runs
and the unusually large attendance at the century
runs had no apparent effect. for the uptown drives
were crowded. Eighth-ave. the Boulevard and the
drives in Central Park crowded during
the afternoon as at any time this year. 1t
bracing day for a spin and the wind was not strong
enough to interfere The sprinklng cart man was
not as active usual and the wheelmen were
thankful.
The merry whrl Of the wheel heard on the
cycle path in Brooklyn from early morn There was
never-ending line OF cyclists on this splendid path
There little al the island TO claim ones atten-
ton yesterday and II II had not been for the
wheelmen the nearby summer resort would have
been deserted place indeed. From Manhattan
Beach 10 the Shelter House the island was as de-
serted az II will be at any time during the winter
From the Shelter House west the general scene was
more cheering and the hotels which cater TO wheel
men did a rushing business. There were fewer acct
dents than usual for Sunday or holiday. The po-
lice activity against the scorchers has had good
effect. large number OF tandems were on the
road.
Whaelnen cannot see the justice OF paying
three-cent fare to cross the Bridge when pedes-
trians are allowed to free and passengers are
carried across in the for TWO and half cents
The agitation has been started which VIII END IN
