Off on Pig Run


The District division OF the Lea que OF
American WheelmeD made its Fourth of
July run from StauDtun into the city.
The riders all left Friday night and
reached StauntoD early yesterday morning.
After breakfast the party was divided into
two divisiuns-the swift nd the slow
riders. The start was made at $50 "a. IN.
The hiiiy country from Stauntonto Harrison
burg, twenty-siX miles, was passed without
Inuch-labOr. Between HarriSOnburg and
New Market there are eighteen miles OF
rolling couDtry, with hills close together
that sufficient speed was gathered i u
coasting down some OF the hills to enable
the riders TO ascend the up grades without
working, and in suIne Gases the wheels
actually coasted over the brow of the
hills without taking the feet from the
coasters At New Market the first division
found good meal awaiting them at the
Central Hotel, arrangements having been
made ahead OF time, by Mr.. Robertson,
who was in Charge pf the first brigade.
AT this point the slow party, who are
taking the ride much easier, is two hours
behind. '--s-'
This ridefs one of the finest in the country,
