Hall, and out of the eighteen men who
started, seventeen finished. Ten riders
took the boat for the return trip, while
the others pedaied back.
Todays run is TO Redgevillc, Nd, q

the staying powers of those W no go, and it
is probable that only the strongest riders

its dimensions is out Of order.

Charles E. Cook, president; Arthur Keith,
vice president; II. c. Hunter, seer ,t.ry;
Davis Hannegan, captain; n. Ne Wilson,
first lieutenant; James w Thorn, second
lieutenant, and DR.. w. G. Writ, surgeon

What the scientific results OF that run
were is kept secret, but there is good
ground for the belief that the expedition
to that ancient town was in the interest
of archaeological research.
Today's run will be to Suitland and all
the necessary scientific instruments will
be carried along. 1t is Indignantly de-
MED that ba asebalI bats or corkscrews are
included under this head

erably more than dozen men made the
trip n good shape, and the two hours for
rest and dinner was greatly enjoyed
On last Monday the regular meeting of
the club was held and several matters OF
business were accomplished.
The baseball team is rounding Into good
shape, and the members declare they are
