EASTERN ATHLETIC RUNS.
One Party Had Bad Luck In Tryi ing
10 Get Dinner


The Eastern Athletic Club is still keep
ing up its reputation for run making. The
club Is prUJu OF the fact that when party
sets out every niembeI OF Ii is carried
through.
Last sunday morning Messrs. Revill,
Mckee, Ridgeway and Uhliorth started at
O'Clock for Marlboro. The run was
made in an hour and fifteen minutes, and
all the riders were in good shape. The time
made speaks well for the party.
But these riders mad SO much a letter
time than another party which set out
that IT seems almost too bad To make public
the woes of the latter. It's not much fun to
have to 20 without your dinner, let alone
having all Your friends Joking about it.
But the truth must he told.
This latter party. which found Potomac
River water very unsatisfactory bill OF.
fare. was composed of Capt. Fryer and
Messrs. Steenbeyer. Carroll. Wright and
Clark. As gay as knights of old they
started Sunday morning for Dickey's.
Visions OF the onslaught that would bema
on Dickey's viands cheered them on and
kept them TESTING and happy.

OF the woods near the home of Mrs. Bur

with Chinese lanters, and not least among
the decorations was the clubs transparency.
-Four invited guests were present, and they
enjoyed themselves as immensely us did
the members OF the club.
There was wagoniuad of watermelons
a. the park awaiting their coming. Capt.
Scharf had looked after all this, and there
was no possibility of 4 slip-u No one
exactly knows where those melons went,
but they all disappeared, and no sudden
deaths have been announced. Capt. SCharf,
Chairman watson, Secretary Tate and
Lieut.. Muehieisen cut the melons and
showed themselves adopts at the business.
But there was lemonade and a cake

A decision on the INA rking III the first

The program distinctly states that in TINS
race tile first man across the plate scores

Makers of sporting goods say there

are the ones who want the sails; and
certain very enterprising renter of wheels

would do for the trial heat.
Beginners upon the wheel who want
to go in for the little picturesque points
Of riding are despairing in the thought
that they must learn all over gain.
There is no question that there Is a
trick in the sail riding and that 1t must

The speed with sail is very great under
