An attractive feature was the beautiful
canopy supported by tandem and borne
at the head of the Verein Eintracht
cyclers. The decoration was the work OF
E. Peterson. and was one OF the most
beautifully decorated wheels in line.
n. B. Williams and James Cans of the
California Cycling Club rode tandem
bearing boat-shaped frame covered with
fringe tissue paper.
Cass Mershon of the Golden Gate Cycling
Club had his wheel entwined with straw,
and he was made up as the ''far down"

He bore aloft the motto, II B'long to the
Golden Gates.n
On the west side of Van Ness avenue, a
few hundred feet north of where that
thoroughfare debouches into Market
street, was the stand erected forthe speak
ers OF the evening, and before whom the
parade passed in review just previous to
dispensing. 1t was gayly decorated with
red, white and blue bunting and made
brilliant by an arc electric light and
strings OF Japanese lanterns.

Peo pie began to line the curbs before
o'clock, though the head OF the procession
of wheelars did not turn into Van Ness
avenue from Golden Gate until 1885,
o'clock.
As the procession passed the stand in
review bombs, roman candles and rocket:
were discharged, bonfres were ablaze on
the corners and red fire and colored lights
made brilliant glare.
DR.. 7. A. Rottanzi acted as master oi
ceremonies and ]. s. Conwell as president
of the evening. Among those on the

DR.. c. D. Salfeld. president of the Pan

of the Union Iron Works. 1t was drawn
by four beautiful dark bays, and consisted
OF model of the battle-ship Oregon, sur
mounted by canopy of Japanese lanterns.
At the rear ofth float an aged employe Of
the iron works bore aloft large Amer
lean flag. At the sides of the wagon were
hung banners bearing the motto. What s
the Matter With the OregonP" About
thirty employees of the works escorted on
bicycles this miniature of their master
| piece.
! A significant showing was that of the
South Side Improvement clubs. Their
sentiments were typiied by two pinto
mules drawing a wagon upon whose
sides were emblazoDed the words, we
won't stop kicking until Folsom street is
finished" The float of the San Francisco
Road Club was appropriate and emphatic.
1t consisted of miniature gallows, from
which an efigy was suspended. Above
the crosspiece was a grewsome warning,
embellished by frightiul skull and cross
| bones, stating that such was the "Fate of
the first politician who opposed good
roads,"
A yacht manned by four men on con-
cealed bicycles was a feature contributed
by the employees of the Rambler Cyclorama.
The effect was produced by coupling two
tandems, which were entirely hidden by
the canvas hull of the craft.
The most artistic float in line was that
of the Imperial Cycling Club. 1t repre-
sented large white crown resting on a
white cushion. The crown was begemmed
with numerous little incandescent lights
which flashed alternately, giving the i'm.
preston of sparkling stones. A banner
suspended from the rear of the vehicle
bore the, club yell: "Holy smokel Who
are we? You know, we are /. c. @.

! postulate, but in an instant his float was
seized on all sides and torn to pieces be-
| fore he could make the slightest effort to
get away.
A Japanese who rode, or rather led, a
gayly decorated wheel was in trouble be-
fore he had gone hundred yards beyond
Kearny street. He foolishly attempted to
| fight his assailants, and was Knocked
down and trampled on until squad of
police CHARGED the mob and rescued him.
His face was cut, his clothing torn and his
wheel wrecked. Two young girls were
In the midst of the surging crowd as it
struggled about the policemen, and one
nearly had her clothing torn from her
body before she could escape to the out
skirts. Many of the wheelmen and their
| lady friends did not venture to leave the
vicinity of Kearny and Market streets un-
til the crowds had dispersed, which was
an hour after the parade had melted
away.
Car 21 of the Valencia-street line fol-
lowed the rear of the procession too closely
down Market street and had a rather tur-
bulent time of it. Near the corner of Sew
kenth street the car encroached rather
close upon the heels of the last of the
wheelmen. This enraged the crowd and
they commenced shouting at the motor
man.
Some one suggested overturning the car,
and the mob took kindly to the sugges-
ton. Grasping the car by the upright
bars at the side they commenced rocking
it until it threatened to go over. The pas
sengers screamed and things were looking
very critical, when an opening occurred
and the car was able to escape. The same
car had similar experience at Fifth and
Market streets.
The floats, properly speaking, were not a
prominent feature of the bicyle parade.
They were few and far between, yet they
were attractive and popular.
A pirate ship, or a freebooter, headed
the procession. 1t was tandem, deco
rated with flags and ablaze with Japanese
lanterns.
The miniature ship displayed skull
and crossbones at its masthead and scores
| of Japanese lanterns at its yards. It was
carried by Club 13, of which r. G. Lennie
is president. The colors of the miniature
ship were of flaming red, and, taken all
in all, it presented very striking appear
ance. At the bow was seen the frowning
mouth of a cannon, proclaiming the war
like character of the ship.
The float entitled 1.-The New Charter"
was drawn by spanking span of bay
! horses.
1t was illustrated with picture of work
ingmen and workingwomen in search of
employment, and bore the following in
scription: "a vote for the new charter
means steady wages for the workingmen."
Upon the reverse side of the transpar-
ency were the interrogatories: do you
want good streets2" ''Do you want i'm
provements2" 'lf so, vote for the new
charter"
The Bay City Wheelmen had big float
in line bearing about dozen men in regu-
lation street-laborers' garb. 4 large BAN
ner suspended above the float bore the
legend, The Bay Citys Are Willing TO
Work to Have Market Street Improved"
A transparency also bore the inscription,
Hunting for Good Roads,"
