ing the action, although, of course, they
are likely to be young people, too. Here
tofore the participants in May day fes-
tivities have danced about the pole i'll
weaving fashion, thus twining the rib
bons until the gay sections were united
in a gorgeous whole. This time the bi
cyclists will weave in and out, accom-
plishing a similar result.
1t is an entirely new idea. When first
suggested many cyclists thought II
impossible, but for several weeks eXper-
iments have been quietly in progress
here. which demonstrated that the idea
was thoroughly practicable. 1t is nee
essary for the young men and women
who take part in May day events of this
sort to be able to control a wheel with
great ease. 1t is the short turn with
q bicycle that throws the novice. The
May pole riding is practically series
of short turns, and the utmost skill is
necessary to avoid collisions.
In winding the ribbons of a May pole,
as the practice is called, it is necessary
that almost as much rhythm be pre-
served as ifr>.the music of dance. A
false move by rider may tangle the
whole combination so thoroughly as to
necessitate an entire unwirding, and
thus q new beginning. 1t is oftentimes
necessary for the rider to let go of the
handlebars entirely, and never is it pos
sible to keep more than one hand upon
them. To make it interesting it is ad-
yisable that there should be very little
distance between the wheels of the rid
ie, hain ha eacilV
be seen that the cyclist must not lose
control of the wheel for moment
Again, it is often necessary to reverse
and weave in a different 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 May
pole gathering, according to the height
of the pole and the number Of garland
ed ribbons. 1t is customary, at least
so far as experiment has demonstrated,
to have eight persons attempt the feat
with wheels. At the start all move in
the same direction. The ribbons 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 little or
no progress is made in the change of
position, the ribbons become more and
more entwine6. Then another change
Of front is made, anG four Of the riders
keep their machines as near stationary
as possible, never losing hold for mo-
ment of the garlanded ribbons.
Then three turns more are taken
around the pole, the riders moving in
procession. This program is repeated
as long as the length of the ribbons will
permit, and when at last the end is
well nigh reached, the procession of
riders is formed very close to the pole.
Around they go until as the end ribbons
near the pole. the riders are supposed
to fasten them there without slacken-
ing speed. At this point, from the pock-
ct of each rider is drawn a little ham
mer and a double-headed brass tack,
from which depends tiny streamer.
With almost lightning-like rapidity the
cyclist pins the end of the ribbon to
the pole with the tack, and smart blow

A Solicitous Little Depositor

1t was bank near the suburbs of
Brooklyn in which little girl, not more
than years old. made her appearance
the other day. asking il she might see
its workings. A polite little girl was not
to be refused, and she was taken inside
and shown the various departments of
the institution. But that was not whera
the money was kept; could she see where
the money was kept? Certainly, and she
was taken to see the vaults. Still there
was no money to be seen. and she was
not satisfied Could she see the money?
Certainly, if that was what she wished
and the vault doors were thrown open
and, with sigh of satisfaction, the lit
tie girl saw some of the money in which
she was interested. do you think bur-
glars could get in here?" she asked final
ly. Certainly not" replied the bank Of

a Maypole adorned in this fashion, or a
more clever exhibition of cycling powers
than the riders give under these circum-
stances, would be difficult to conceive.
Fashionable persons who know say that
the bicycle Maypole party will surely
be fad the fret of next month, and that
we may look for a general turnout of the
riders of various ages to take part in the
festivities that have latterly been left to
the childish. ~
Inasmuch as the pastime is to be-
fashionable fad, the matter of costume
at once becomes an important item. 1t
is declared that it will be very proper for
the children, or the young men and wo-
men, or their mothers and fathers If they
choose to take part, to attire themselves
in costumes of bright stuffs that Will
harmonize with the garlanded adorn-
ments of the Maypoie. There has been
just one party, and this was indoors and
for practice, which has tried this sort OF
cos tuning. The effect is declared to
have been beyond compare, and 1t is said
this incipient pageant was fully as
charming TO the eye as the attractive
features of the spectacular performances
at the theaters.
The advent or the bicycle into the
May day festivities is likely to cause
partial return to the costumes of CEN

able to do so took part in the
