Yesterday was an ideal day for cycling,
and that the wheelmen were not slow to
take full advantage of the summertime
weather was fully demonstrated on the
Boulevard. From early morning until
late at night the road swarmed with BIZ
cyclists. In fact, the wheelmen had I'M
disputed possession of the road. The
rain of Saturday proved a boon to the
pedal pushers, for it put the road in a
condition such as causes the Wheelman
to jump with joy. AS level as a billiard
table, it afforded opportunities for scorch-
ing that the fast ones were not slow to
take advantage of. The wheelwomen
were out in full force. There were mat
ronly looking DANES, young girls of six
teen ummers and little tots, accompa-
MED by papa and amm The bloomer
girls were out in full force. Some of them
rode diamond frame wheels with low han
die bars, and scorched with a reckless
ness that nearly took the breath out of
the more timid and sedate sisters
passed on the road. The bloomer girls
came over from New York with the Riv-
erside Wheelmen, who held a series of
club races on the Bayonne section in the
afternoon. The Riversides came over
early in the morning and secured a first
mortgage on the road. They visited every
section and met at noon for dinner at
SaIter's Willow ave Inn. The races
were started promptly at two o'clock in
the afternoon, and with the assistance or
the Clio Wheelmen of this city the meet
proved a big success. All he events
were holly contested, close finishes re-
sulting in all. The mile tandem, IN
which Fred Titus and mate competed,
proved the most exciting event OF the
day. The three teams that started nm
ished with wheels interlocking. Ertz and
Brown won the event by half a wheel
from Titus and j. Beam.
Many of the local clubs held club runs
on the road in the afternoon, the River
sides course being the objective point.
Among the clubs that turned out were
the Clio Wheelmen, Arcanum Wheelmen,
Hudson County Wheelmen, Bayonne
Rowing Association Wheelmen, Hillside
Wheelmen and Greenwich Wheelmen of
New York.
