II is beginning TO look as II there would not he
much excitement over the race for the presidency
Of tho League of American Wheelmen after all.
Mr. Elliott has said that he would have nothing TO
saw about the matter until Mr. Potter returned
from his wedding trip. Mr.. Potter. before no left
the city, was equally quiet. The chief consul OF
this State was expected back In the city on Tnurs.
dav bur none Of his friends have been able TO hnd
him so far. Suppose the clever chief consul shouid
decide not return 10 the city until after the Ma
tional Assembly at Albany. Then neither candi-
date would have anything TO say. and the dele
gates could vote they pleased and fewer deals
would be made than Is Usually the case at the an
nual meeting Of the L. A. w.
With clear weather to-day the roads In this neigh
borhood will be thronged with riders OF the wheel.
The little snow which has fallen recently Will not
affect the roads to any extent II the sun shines
warm and bright to-day many OF the new models
will be the road.
r. Lindsay Coleman, the president OF the Cycle
Board OF Trade. will arrive In this city tomorrow.
Mr. Coleman has been in Chicago recently looking
after the details for the coming Cycle Show TO be
held In that city.
