after the general shall have done some

labors, and says that there has been
no request of hers which they have not
granted. nor no suggestion which they
have not favorably acted upon.

THE BIG BICYCLE PARADE.
1t is Proposed to Hold 1t ON tn,
Night of July II.

Night of July Ii.
The parade committee of the League Of
American Wheelmen, which will have
charge of the proposed demonstration, met
last evening at the parlors of Mr.. w. T..
Robertson of 431 10th street. The meeting
was called to outline a portion Of the work
to be DONE A committee from the Chris
tan Endeavor Society, consisting of Messrs.
Johnson Muir and Orrison, was present
Mr.. Johnson made a brief speech, in which
he suggested the evening Of Tuesday, July
IA. as the most favorable time for the
parade. Mr. Muir, who is at the head of
the subcommittee to entertain the visiting
Endeayorers who bring their wheels with
them placed the number of visiting wheel
men at 1000, a conservative estimate he
thought.
The date suggested struck the parade
committee favorably. and it is probable
that the event will be held on that day.
The matter will not be decided, however.
until the joint meeting of the committee
and delegations from various clubs in the
city Monday evening. The parade COM
mittee sent out invitations to the captains
of the bicycle clubs Of the city urging
their cooperation.
A committee was appointed, consisting of
Messrs Steele, Robertson and Janus. to
see the street railway presidents and re-
quest that the cars be stopped for an hour
and a half. on the night of the parade A
suggestion was also made regarding the
decoration Of the wheels. In order to have

a certain degree of uniformity in appear
ance it was thought best to have each
rider with two Chinese lanterns in front of
him, fastened to a T-shaped arrangement,
the base of which could be fastened to the
head Of the bicycle
Some idea of the greatness Of the display
can be gained from the fact that 10, coo
participants are regarded as a conservative
estimate. Counting six riders abreast
there would be 1000 wheelmen to the mile
making the length Of the line ten miles
With only three men abreast, there would
cnly be 500 men to the mile which would
make the line extend twenty miles, entire

was replete with star fielding, Bannon and

pulling down several drives that looked
good for one or more bases.
