GALA WEEK IN ABBEvILLE.
The bicycle parade and races were largely
attended. The afternoons were Delightfully."-
cool and partially cloudy which contributed
much TO the comfort OF all. Abbeville and
her visiting friends turned out in full force.
The afternoons afforded much pleasure and
enjoyment to all and nothing transpired to
mar the pleasure OF the occasion until the
last round OF the 10 mile race, when an unex-
pected accident, Mr.. Seawright and Mr..
Frank Hodges were thrown from their wheels
tract. The boy was knocked down by Mr..
wheel, and Mr.. Hodges following
close behind ran into the wreck and was
also precepitated headlong over his wheel,
both sustaing painful but not serious injuries
while this was going on MIR. Collins, OF Due
West, made the home run and won the prizes.
1t was thought by many that Mr.. Collins
would have won the race, at small odds, he
being just q few feet ahead at the time the ac-
cident occurred, at the same time no one
could say positively. The other racing were
fine and "honors were easy'' as we believe
racers from all points won prizes. Details Of
