THE BICYCLE TRACK.

Between Now and Spring.
a great many people are under the
Impression that work on the bicycle
track will never be resumed. This howey-
er is not a fact. We understand from
good authority that part OF The stock
isguaranteed. Manager White has made
personal canvass of the Philadelphia
wteelmen and has found great interest
manifested among the many clubs and
has secured substantial encouragement
from them. Members OF the Century
Wheelmen and the Associated Cycling
Club have subscribed largely for the
stock and there is not question, with
the assistance that the Philadelphia
Clubs are rendering that we will have
the long talked OF track. In fact Mr..
White promises the track built between
now and spring. Keep your weather
eye on the progress. Work will be re-
sumed when you least expect it. The
ele waited track would have been good
thing during the recent high tide, afford
ing those access to Atlantic City who
had important business there Such
walk is what has been long needed across
the meadows. 1t would be well patron
lied at all times OF the year. There have
been times within the past month when
it has been impossible to cross over the
turnpike. The run from Philadelphia
to our fmous city by the sea is not COM
plete without this elevated track across
the meadows. The Philadelphia wheel
men realize this TACT. Several Atlantic
City residents have expressed their desire
OF live in Pleasantville in preference to
Atlantic City provided the walk was
built and the high tides would not bother
them. The track will be above any high
tide ever on record. Plea santyilleii
the suburb OF Atlantic City and boom
ing borough. We sinceely hope for the
benefits that we will derive from the
track that it will be put through. Man.
ager White has been working hard on
the project ever since the Company was
fot ned early in June and he deserves
the Encouragement OF the public. It ID
a good thing and one Of merit, there
fore we feel confident that it will not
fail We sincerely hope the desired re-
suit will soon be achieved.
