was an older man than am and am con-
tent to represent my time: let him have all

Sullivan was that he did not know how
to take care of himself. IL he had taken
care of himself he would have been as good
man to-day as he ever was.

WHEELS WE'RE OUT IN FORCE.


Yesterday was an ideal day for the
wheelmen and wheelwomen of Kansas
City and they We're out in full force to
enjoy rides on all the suburban roads.
Every road leading out of Kansas City
was fairly alive with wheels all day long,
fair proportion of them being mounted
by ladies. Most of the ladies have adopted
the rational bloomers for wheel wear, and
some few have even gone further and
come out in knckerbockers, which, after
ALL are not only the most convenient for
riding but the most handsome and grace
ful In appearance rs well. Several very
elegant wheel costumes were seen out yes
tention on all sides.
The Independence, Raytown and Waldo
park roads We're the favorite resorts of the
riders yesterday. The big feature of the
day was, of course, the weekly run of the
Kansas City Cyclists to Independence,
leaving the club house n lew minutes after
10 o'clock and returning in time for early
dinner. There were seventy wheels in line
when the start was made from the club
house. and. as several Were, picked up at
independence who had taken early
start, and half dozen belated stragglers
came in after Independence was reached.
1t is safe to say that there We're at least
eighty in the party altogether.
The ride was an exceedingly enjoyable
one, though strong head wind made it
rather hard work on the return trip. From
Independence some of the club members
went on to New Salem, six miles further,
hut most of the party returned direct.
