JERSEY CITY ON WHEELS
Scenes on the Boulevard Yes
terday-Rain Interfered
Slightly With the
Popular Sport.

The threatening weather yesterday
morning kept many ~bicyclists at home.
but enough turned out to make the
Boulevard lively with their wheels. Many
clubs passed over Hudson's splendid road
m their way out Of town and many riders
remained on it all day long, riding from
end to end. These latter were driven
into retreat by the rain, which fell about
half-past ten and in a short while the
road was deserted. Towards afternoon,
as the weather cleared, the throng again
sought this public highway. A dis
agreeable feature of the day was the
continual shifting of the wind, which at
times was quite strong n commanded
an extra amount of energy to pedal
against.
Bergen Point was the popular destina-
ton and this point was overrun with
cyclists of every description, from a
small boy to the elderly man. Here re-
freshments were obtainable and a rest
could be enjoyed On the banks of the
Kills. Quite a number having arrived at
the Point passed on over into Staten
Island and wheeled to T~ottenville, Bulls
Head and South Beach.
On the northern end of the Boulevard.
Gutenberg, Englewood and Fort Lee
were the points of pleasure sought and
a large number of wheels passed out
this way during the day. though not as
many as those going to the Point.
The number of pedestrians was not as
large as on previous Sundays, as the
weather was not the best and many
having walked a short distance became
covered with mud. caused by the morn
ing's rain, and left. This falling off in
the percentage of pedestrians is becom-
ing more noticeable every Sunday.
one OF the attractive spots or the
Boulevard is the home of the Clio Wheel
men,, on the corner of Paramount avenue.
The house is a large old-fash.oned one
is surrounded by considerable ground
used as a garden. The house has ter
races and on the slope of the embank-
ment facing the Boulevard the words
Clio appear in huge brown stone let
tiers. Many outside clubs on their pas
sage over the Boulevard, slow up at
TINS point to admire the cosy home or
the Clos.
Riding on fine days has now become a
pleasure since the new rules of the Free
holders went into effect. The absence OF
the huge numbering farm wagon n
other trucks is appreciated. The limi-
tation of the speed of both horses and
wheels makes riding safer and removes
h Catholic Club, Clio Wheelmen.
Fourth Regiment Cyclers had delegations
on the road. The absence of the Nj
antic Wheelmen was noticed, but was
easily explained by the fact tina the
first century run of that club through
New Jersey was held Yesterday.

MUST DO THEIR DUTY.
superintendent Coyle After the
Boulevard SprinklerS.

Superintendent Michae ]. Coyle, of the
Boulevard, has noticed tina some of the
contractors for s~prinkling the road are in
elined to shirk their work, and he has de-
termined ito make them toe the mark. He
drove from the Court House down to Ber-
gen Point on Saturday afternoon and find
ing some sections of the road very dusty
notified the contractors tina the kind of
work they were doing would not be tole-
rated. Superintendent Coyle is on the road
every day and proposes to see that it is
kept IN frst-class condition all the time.
Owing, perhaps, to the fact that it rained
yesterday morning some of the contractors
did not think it necessary to get their
sprinklers out, and the result was that
IN the afternoon the dust was flying in
every direction and making it very un-
pleasant for cyclers, drivers and pedes-
TRANS.
These contractors win have to explain
to the Superintendent why they shfrked
their duty. Aside from the dust the road
is in excellent condition, and has become
extremely popular. Nearly everybody who
is anybody can be seen there every Sun
day either wheeling, driving or walking.
