The famous L. A. w. to Saratoga last
Sunday will not be forgotten for some time to
come. The party from this city took the Albany
boat on Saturday and was Joined at Albany by
ex-Vice- President Cossum and several other vet
riders. who proposed to make the rest of
the trip to Saratoga on their wheels. The party
left Albany in a light rain and started for the
home Of Vice-Consu Underhill, two miles this
side Of Schenectady. There is excellent
cycle path all the way. and the fourteen miles
were travelled by the fast division inside of an
hour. Dinner was had at the house Of Mr.. IN
derhill and then the march was begun for
Schenectady. mile out of Schenectady the
Mayor of that town rode out on a bicycle to
greet the l.. A. w delegation. As the first four
teen miles hal been travelled in an hour. 1t was
decided to make the remaining twenty-odd miles
to Saratoga at a slower gait, to view the scenery
1t was possibly fortunate thing that no fast
riding attempted. The road from Science
tady to within few miles Of Saratoga was one
of the worst in the country. The cyclists ex-
pected to enjoy the scenery they went along,
but about all the scenery they saw was when
they were lying in some ditch after taking
lofty tumble from their wheels. 1t was not an
infreuuent sight to President Potter. Secre-
tary Bull. Jenkins, Bedding. Frobisher and sew
eral of the others piled up in a heap along the
side Of the road. The road one of the most
uninviting the local riders had ever travelled.
They say that the road from Troy to Saratoga
is little better
