Il .here In the least.
upress the feelings OF the cyclists in re-
i eard 70 the good time they had at the

81 70 the Mckinley hill. and In the end II
81 b better TO walk. At the top OF the hlii
i tie good riding commences. The road IL
not level. but the grade IL not pronounced
enough TO make wheeling tiresome. The
II MI that leads down into tho White river
valley ends the best part OF the road. so
AR AZ cyclists are concerned. because after
y hat there is considerable sand. or Dlanks.
When the main crowd reached the
Apuse. they were met by the sheriff and
Mrs. Van de vanter. who made them all
Ct home. The wheels we're stabbed be-
p tween the pickefs OF the lawn fence. or

y ntnf later tried bis luck again. Just for
"a he fun and novelty. the crowd went up
~ On the roof taking the wheels. and gave
/ te photographer another chance.
