Owing to the Indictment weather last
evening the meeting of cycling CLUB
delegates at the Clio Wheelmen's head
quarters to arrange for the bicycle par
ade on Thanksgiving Day, was not as
largely attended as the Road Committee
had reason to believe it would be. Never
theless a meeting was held a number OF
delegates having the backbone to at
tend. Oddly enough the delegates from
the clubs in the most remote secuohs
were the ones who put in an appearance.
Those who attended were rewarded Ior
their trouble, and pleased at learning
that "The Jersey City News" the wheel
mems warmest friend. to show It's IN
terest in the success of the big project
had offered two valuable prizes to be
awarded as the Clio Wheelnlen may
direct. The more important OF the two
prizes is a costly clock of bright bronze
and PRETTY marked green marble, ana
is fit i . aGcrn the lantle of any parior.
TIE other prize is e pretty silver water
pitcher, and like The clock is ht to acorn
any home. Both prizes will be on ex-
hibition in the window of Roehats Jew
elry store on Montgomery street, IN a
few days. In presenting the prizes "The
Jersey City News" allows the Cllo
Wheelmen to designate how they shah
be awarded. Although no official ac-
ton has as yet been taken in the mat
ter by the Road Committee, 1T is almost
certain that the clock will be the first
prize in the ten mile handicap road race,
to be run in the afternoon, while the Sill
yer pitcher will probably be awarded to
the club with the largest number OF
riders in the parade.
That the parade will be the largest
ever held in this vicinity is assured.
Last night the following communications
were received Or ,oos
