station shortly after 10 o'clock in tie morn
ing on Il special train and nearly ali of them
| returned home early yesterday evening
| The trip was not satisfactory TO either tia.
| home cyoiers Or the visitors, and "A large
| part of the dissatisfaction grew cut Of the
fact that the crowd had sweled 10 almost
uuwieldy proportions and had outgrown
some of the earraugementsmade by the ho SITS.
| This culmiuated in scme unpieasantness at
| Long Branch Fishing Shore, on Pack River,
| N the dining hall. the shore being the OIL
| jcctive point of the run.
Several offe rshad been made by Baltimore
| clubs 10 entertain the Washingtonians On
| the occasion Il their visit. Mr.. w. K. Larri-
more. representing the Washington wheel
men, was in Baltimore some days ago, and
after a visit to the Fulton wheelmen the
| scheme OF that Organization was accepted.
| The Fulton whecinen stirred up as much
enthusiasm as Possible among club meni-
hers and other wheelmen In Baltimore.
GREW TO A HOWL.
When the big procession reached the place
where refreshments were 10 lie served IL
was discovered that there wcrr but three
walters in attendn nee, and inurmur
started. II quickly grew to howl A
dozen or more OF the Baltimore wicelnien
started Ia aid thc waters, and others helped
the dish washers. An impression quickly
spread that there was not enough food to
supply the crowd, and then Bedlam! Every
body connected with the arrangements,
however, while admitting that the crowd
was too big Ia handle expeditio,isly, de
clared there was enough for all
There was grabbing OF food from the
tables, ioaves uf bread were broken in half.
and fish, fowls or strawberries helped TO
make sandwiches. Ice cream freezers We're
unoffieiaiiy opened, and plates, cups and
forks were used 10 dish out the sweetness
Somecyciers quickly muunte ed their wheels
so as Ia he the first To reach road houses and
De fed, and others returned To Baltimore and
went 10 hotels and restaurant
Many of the visitors tried to stop others in
heir onslaught ON the supplies, and finding
II useless, they left the grounds. BY 3
o'clock not dozen OF the Washington BOYS
were left Oh the shore.
The Fulton Wheeimen were very much
chagrnei about the affair The entire
trouble they attributed to the fact of the
caterer having but three walters present.
The Washington cyclists included the fol
owing clubs: Queer Club, so men, Can't.

A BALTIMoREANS OPINION.
Capt. Wilkinson, of the Clifton Wheel
men, Baltimore, said yesterday: II think
It would have been better had our Balti-
more clubs been arranged with to divide
up the visitors into squads, so that each OF
our clubs could take its guests to some
appointed place. The Cliitons had forty
TWO meH in line. We escorted the Key
stone and Eagle Club members.
when the circus began ut Long Branch
some Of US escorted our division to a read
mousse, where we all had dinner / think
that much of the trouble could have been
avoided had not Chief Marshal Henshaw Of
Washin =ton. permitted his dissatisfaction TO
take its decided form OF speech. Some one
asked him jccularly II lie was stumpiug the
county think the Fulton boys did all they
could, and had they been given little time
there would have been no cause for com
complaint.
The crowd was twice the size the Full
| tons were led to expect, and you cannot
manage affairs down on Il river shore on
4 Sunday very cXpeditiously. The fact that
| here were but three walters there would
| not have proven serious, as any of our
boys would have helped to wait on the
| visitors.
| Il think the Washington boys were not
| Used to riding over the rough stones, such
rs they encountered on Eutaw street, and
ahen the Eutaw Place hill ha / TO be climbed,
all OF which Is appetizing, IL not so pleas
ant as wheeling over Washington's SIN Doth
! streets. Something made them hungry, as
| anyone Will knowledge who saw them at
Long Branch"
HE FEELS SORRY.
