tatcy dress bicycle parade is at its very
nei8ht, and can be called a craze in
ueed. Last year there were a few BIZ
cyeie Hover parades. but this year the
genuine fancy dress parade takes place
upon the wheel and upon the principal
streets.
Saratoga's bicycle flower parade is
yet 70 come. Long Branch has just
enjoyed one, when a score OF pretty
actresses received prizes for their hne
dressing and their beautifully trimmed
wheels. But by far the finest Of the
fancy dress bicycle parades will take
place at Newport this summer. when,
1ull 400 strong, they Will sweep down
Bellevue avenue, carrying with them
a storm Of applause and showers Of
flowers from all who are fortunate
enough 20 see the procession. 1t viii
be modelled after the Long Branch
one Of two weeks ago.
The bicycle fancy dress profession
may be said TO have begun with the
Bradley Martin ball, when fancy dress
was made fashionable. The second
greet impetus it got was from the great
ball Of the Duchess Of DevOnshire, held
a few weeks ago in London, when all
came in fancy and historical costumes.
Meanwhile, the bicycle flower parade
has been going on every summer, be
cause the wheel lends itself so beauu-
fully and so naturally to decoration;
and, therefore, when it was suggested
that the fancy dress and the flower pa
rade be combined it met with an en-
thusiastic reception.
A bicycle fancy dress parade Is the
easiest thing 10 arrange. The costume
must first be obtained, then the wheel
must be dressed in some characteristic
way, after which the rider mounts and
takes his place in the procession. Moth
ing can be easier of conception or
more beautiful to look at.
The Newport bicycle parade, which
\will take place this summer will be
bne OF the most notable things that
kere ever seen in Newport, not only
its novelty, but because the -Four
Kindred who are supposed to be seat
with every kind Of enjoyment, lend
pselves. heart and soul, to this new
of pleasure.
