R0OME's FINE WORK ON THE ROAD

with the scheme of The Jersey CITY
News to lave the wheelmen of Hudson
county commemorate the completion or
the new Boulevard with a grand bicycle
parade on Thanksgiving Day is evident
from the enthusiastic manner in wnicn
the various clubs are booming the pro-
ject. The Clio Wheelinen. to whom
must be given the credit of putting the
scheme into shape, have received most
encouraging reports from the clubs In
vited to participate. and the meeting of
delegates on Thursday evening promises
to be largely attended. Secretary Long
field. of the Road Committee, has been
working like a beaver the past few days
making the preliminary arrangements
for the meeting. and he reports that
every club in the county has promised to
send a delegate. 1.-THE project is such a
grand one,' said he. that many of the
clubs endorsed it and appointed delegates
before the official notice was received"
Mr.. Longleld's associates on the COM
mittee are working equally hard for the
success of the affair, and that their la
bors will be rewarded by the largest
turn out of wheelmen ever seen IN this
county Is certain. The wheelmen re-
alize that the parade will give them an
opportunity to show their strength, and
IN these days when laws for the protec-
ton of the cyclist are conspicuous by
their absence, such a demonstration
may impress our law makers with the
fact that the wheelman are a large and
growing body and entitled to recognition.
The meeting on Thursday evening will
oe called to order at eight O'clock
SHARP, ana the delegates are requested
to be on hand early.
