Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1896-08-29

The cool weather of the week has had
reviving effect the local cycling world
and active work has once more been re-
sunled. Road riding will be continued from
now on, practically extending through until
next year. The fall of the year is practi-
cally at hand, and this is acknowledged by
all authority to be the best season of the
year for cycling. The weather at this
period of the year is bracinS enough to
encourage the rider to speed to a certain
extent, though the midday may be trif1e
warm. To the unattached riders who con-
template taking all day spin, 1t is sug-
gested that the start be made as early in
the morning us possible, 6 o'clock If con-
ven!ent. Starting out ride at this time
the rider feels the freshness of the morn
Ing and is much more able to ride fast, in
addition to having a much better oppor-
tunity of viewing the beauties of nature.
The event of the local cycling world is
centered this afternoon in the inter-city
races which will be held at Baltimore
This IL the third of the series, and it is
expected that the Washington team will
finish at the head OF the race in one, two
three order. This is the prediction made
and If the local riders accomplish this
they will cltnch their hold on the champion
snip trophy. In connection with this inter-
city race, there are a number of other
races. TO which most of the Washington
amateurs have entered. The local boys feel
confident that they will carry off most
of the honors of the meet, and if this is
done it will be purely Washington day in
Baltimore.
