Everybody is talking of the big cycle
parade in commemorative: of the open
ing of the new Boulevard on Thanks
giving Day. You near them talking of
it on the trolley cars and also among the
members in the club houses. The parade
is well worthy of the interest which is
being taken in it and will no doubt re-
fleet great credit upon the Clio Wheel
men. under whose auspices the big af-
fair will be held. 1t is doubtful if the
opening of the Boulevard would ave
been given any prominence had not the
Clio Whelmen taken hold of and agi-
that no celebration other than a pleasure
jaunt of the Board of Freeholders would
have marked the event.
None but the wheelmen could properly
celebrate the day and the cyclers, real
izing this, are putting forth their best
efforts to make the day a memorable
one in the history of Hudson County.
From all sections of the county come
words of praise for the Clos and assist
ance is promised them in every quarter.
In New York and Newark the wheel
men are interested, the invitation to the
clubs to participate being accepted with
out a single exception. There will be
much good natured rivalry among the
clubs as to which one will carry off the
prize for the largest delegation in line.
The Riversides, of New York, have writ
ten Secretary Longfield, Of the Road
Committee, that they will turn out in
large numbers in the hope of capturing
the club prize. The Riverside cracks
wou1d also like to remain over until the
afternoon and enter in the champion
ship race, but as this event will be for
Hudson County riders only, they will
nave to be content with looking On.
The Yorkville Wheelmen. also of New
York, is the latest organization to join
in the parade and the letter carriers
uniforms are expected TO show up con-
s~picious and numerous. The Yorkvilles

At the next meeting of the Associated
Cycling Clubs of New Jersey, a PROPOSE
ton will be made to Chief Consul Robert

seems to be no doubt that the Associated

Now rs the Time 10 Ride.
This is the most delightful season of
the year for bicycling. Now the woods
are aglow with masses of gold, brown
and red leaves; he air is crisp and cool,
and, altogether more e~xhilarating than
that of summer or spring. Last season
many riders decided that there was no
reason why they should not enjoy, their
~favorite exercise all the year round. and
now a large number of ardent wheelmen
and WheelwOmen are preparing for the
cold weather. When autumn rains set
in and the roads become muddy, it is
well to cover the enamel of the wheel
with a thin coat of parafine, then the
mud will not stick with such persistency,
cred with vaseline, and If strips of fan
mel are wrapped around the loop sides
and between the crank bosses and the
bracket, they will prevent the mud from
getting in A leather mud guard is
much better than one made of metal; 1t
is more easily LEANED, and then it must
be remembered that metal guards col

lamp is an absolute necessity. 1t should
