tended Through That Sectional
Most Generous Welcome Is Prom
Used the Riders.

The action of the convention OF delegates
from the various bicycle clubs in the city
in passing vote or thanks to The Times
met with universal approval yesterday.
1t was commented on by whee!men all
over the city, and the only uDfa vOrable
comment made was that 1t was not strong
enough. On all sides the enterprise of The
Times was most favorably commented on.
II was pointed out how this paper had
started the ball rolling and had kept it
petus that it could run itself.
All agree that the great bicycle parade
is only in keeping with other enterprises
which bear the stamp OF The Times. They
also acknowledged that what The Times
takes hold of is always successful.

CAPITOL HILL PLEASED.
The Capitol Hill folks are Just tickled
to death, as the children say. over the
idea that they are going to nave the pa
rade up there. They are promising now
to have on their best biDs aud fuckers
and to give the cyclers a good, old fash
ioned Capitol Hill welcome. The cyclers
will need II, for they will have the hardest
Kind OF climb up the hill.
This came very near defeating the en-
deavor to have the parade extended. II
was argued that no other parades ever
went up there. 1t was held that the Capitol
Hill people could Just Is we'll come down
town to see the great turn out on wheels
as could the Mount Pleasant or Georgetown
folks. But there was a desire on the part
of tue committee to please everyone aud
these objections were overcome.
The next meeting of the committee will
be held Monday night 1t will be a most
important one. 1t Is necessary that every
club Should be represented. Do not fail
To attend the meeting. You will be sorry
if you miss IL. You are needed. Make
your arrangements to come.
