most attention. The Harlem Wheelmen. the
Manhattan Bicycle Club, the Century Wheeimen
and one or two other clubs, dressed IN neat
costumes received applause all along the line
An odd feature In the first division was tandem
ridden by a young man and a woman under a
canopy Toward the end Of the first division two
young men stole along having In tow diminu-
tive dog cart in which a boy was seated waving
flag. A funny incident In the line was boy to
whose wheel was attached basket containing
a little black dog with flag In his mouth. The
dog seemed to enjoy the procession as much as
the crowd He cooked his little head sideways
and squinted his eye. as much as to say: Look
at me- Isn't this sport enough for one day.
And the crowd, catching the spirit Of the look
cheered back at which the little dog barked and
lost his flag. Many people along the line or
march were surprised TO see a band OF musicians
mounted on wheels. This was the Olympic
Cycle Band, fifteen strong. They seemed to play
and ride with equal ease. $500

and others passed before the reviewers, and after
leaving the stand wheeled out over the path to
Manhattan Beach where the parade was dis

while others scattered here there and every
where II there were ten thousand people In the
parade there must have been fully that number
more Of unattached wheelmen who preceded 1t
and followed It, They kept coming and going
from early morning until late at night The
policemen had lots OF trouble with these unat-

break into the procession at the entrance to the
park and dozens Of them were turned back, only
after hot chase by the mounted police.
