The San Francisco call., 1897-04-25

7 May /, 1897 will witness series OF the
oldest celebrations OF The day history
records. The bicycle, which has invaded
almost everything else, is now scorchlng
toward Maydav. Instead OF circle OF
young people holding garlanded riobons,
one end OF which is attached to the May
pole, we shall see bicyclists performing
the action, though, of course, they are
likely 10 be young people, too. Hereto
fore. the participants in the Mayday tes-
tiyity have danced about the pole IN weav-
ing fashion, thus twining the ribbons un-
I'll the CAV sections are united N gorge
Gus whole. This time the 5icyclists Will
weave in and out accomplishing similar
result.
Itis an entirely new idea When first
suggested many cyclists thought it i'm
possible. but to- several weeks expert
m ents have been quietly in progress here,
which demonstrated that the idea was
thoroughly practicable. 1t is necessary
for the Young men and women who take
part in Maydav events OF this sort to be
able to control a wheel with great ease. 1t
is the short turn with bicycle that throws
the novice The Maypole riding is prac-
ticallv series OF short turns and the ut.
y
In winding the ribbons of Maypole, as
the practice is called, it is necessary that
almost as much rhythm be preserved as
IN the music of dance. A false move by
a rider may tangle the whole com bination
so thoroughly as TO necessiIate an entire
unwinding and thus new beginning 1t
ia oftentmes necessary for the rider to let
90 of the handle bars entirely, and never
is It possible to keep more than one hand
upon them. To make the game interest
ing it IS advisable that there should be
very little distance between lhe wheels of
the riders. This icing the case it can
easily be seen that the cyclst must not
lose control of the wheel for moment.
Again, it is often necessary to reverse and
weave in new direction. Hence one
almost needs eyes in the back of his head.
Anywhere from six to fifteen riders can
take part in this up-to-date Maypoe gath
ering, according to the height OF the pole
and the number Of garlanded ribbons. 1t
is Gus tomaTy, at least so far expert
ment has demonstrated, to have eight per-
sons attempt the feat with wheels. At
the start all move in the same direction.
The rib bons are allowed to, as the sailors
say, take three turns around the pole
Then the process OF weaving begins. Four
OF the riders reverse front and, while lit
tie or no progress is made in the change
of position, the ribbons become more and
more entwined. Then another change of
front is made and four OF the riders keep
their machines as near stationary as pos
sibie, never losing hold for a moment of
the garanded ribbons.
Then three turns more are taken around
the pole, the riders moving in procession.
This programme is repeated as long as
the length OF the ribbons will permit, and
en- at last the end is we'll nigh reached
the procession of riders is formed verv
close to The pole Around they go until,
as the end ribbons near the pole, the
riders are supposed to fasten them there
without slackening speed. AT this point
from the pocket Of each rider is drawn a

Wiser Men, Wiser Women.

The "Woman's Congress- like all
other organized movements for educa-
tionaI advancement, will accomplish
much good. When pure. bright minds
combine to devise methods for the
uplifting of what is best and most
admirable in human nature, there will
be no backward step. Agitation OF any
question throws clearer light upon
it, enabling the earnest student to bet
ter understand the problem and moro
readily segregate the good from evil.
Education" the subject of the con-
gress for this year, is one most appro-
pirate for the consideration OF wo men.
They constitute but half the race, yet
they are the mothers OF the whole
race, AND the better and wiser the
mother, the wiser and better must be-
come the man. One cannot conceive
of race of brave and noble men
spring ing from generation of de-
PRAYED and ignorant women; nor of
a nation of cruel and selfish men
from gentle and educated Christian
mothers. So, as woman becomes the
equal of man Ia independence ana
strength, and man the equal of
woman in purity and all charitable
ness, we will approach nearer the
IDEAL OF what true manhood should
be. BEATRICE B. HOUSE,
