PARADE OF THE CYCLERs.
The Cycling Carnival the Night
Event of the Week.

The Cycling Carnival the Night
Event of the Week.
The cycle pageant and parade tonight
will undoubtedly be one of undoubtedly
will undoubtedly be one of the most in
teresting events of Pythian week.
The arrangements have been completed.
and the indications point to a big turnout.
In fact, the carnival has assumed much
greater proportions than the committee
anticipated. II will not. however, be con-
fined to the number of riders in line, but
it will be a pageant of costumes, brilliant
lights and handsome effects that will go
to make up an imposing parade of greater
brilliancy, probably than has ever been
seen in the south.
There has been a good deal of protesting
on the part of the regularly organized
cycle clubs at the ruling of the committee
IN charge of the parade in allowing the
dealers clubs to compete with the regu-
lar clubs in the contest for the prize offer
ed for the club having the largest number
of riders in line. The kicking assumed
such proportions yesterday that the COM
mittee decided to offer two prizes, one for
the dealers clubs and one for the regular
clubs.
The Y. NJ. c. A. C. l.. A., Y. NJ. II. A,
and the Chatham Artillery clubs contend
ed that they were regularly organized
clubs and their membership being limited
to the members in their respective organi-
cations they were not in position to com
pete with clubs organized for the occa-
sion.
There will doubtless be pretty point for
the judges to decide when it comes 20
determining to which class the Spalding
club belongs The Spalding club, while 1t
may be classed as a dealers cub, Is q
regular cycle club and has been in exist
ence for nearly two years. The other clubs
are looked upon as temporary and are ex-
pected to so into innocuous desuetude after
to-ntghts parade. 1t is understood, how
ever, that these clubs will want the Spald-
ing club placed in the same class with
them. Whether or not the judges will so
decide remains to be seen.
Capt. T. S. Wylly, Mr.. 7. A. Stovall
and MIR. T. Il. Theus were selected as
judges, but Mr.. Stovall Is out of the city
and Mr.. Wylly viii be unable to serve.
so their places win have to be filed. The
judges will most likely be stationed at the
De Soto, where a review will be held.
The committee requests that Jefferson,
Jones and CASTOR streets be watered only
slightly to-day. If they are too muddy,
riding will be very difficult,
All of the clubs have been keeping their
plans secret, but 1t is known that the
preparations of some of them have been
very extensive and some stunning effects
are looked for
The line of parade traverses all the prin-
cipal streets and everybody will have
chance to see 1t. The line is as follows:

the parade will be formed, the head rest
ing at the southeast corner of the parade
