When Mrs. Smith of Washington first
rode the ladies' style of the low wheel,
which her husband was the first to de-
sign and build, she rode at night, and it
was many months, so she told the writer,
before she dared to ride in daylight, al
though there is little variation of the
ladies wheel today from the first one
made. In 1883 Mrs. Smith was the pl-
oneer missionary, and she persuaded
many women to take up the wheel both
for health and pleasure.
One of the first prominent women to
adopt the wheel instead of the carriage
was Charlotte L. Bolton Of Brooklyn,
who was the first lady member of the
League Of American Wheelmen. Last
year her enthusiasm and effort brought
so many new members into the New
York division of the L. A. W. that she
was presented with high grade bicycle
of her own choice, and she brought this
wheel to the coast with her last winter
much Of " hich she spent in Southern
California. Every day she was out on
the road for long rides, and of course
with wheel she could see more and en-
Joy the views much better than in
carriage or on the cars.

that another lady Of the troupe was TAX
on i'll and had to be replaced. Her role
was the principal one in the piece. 1t
was offered to Mile. d'Arzac, who to the
general astonishment, indignantly re-
fused it. Never before, perhaps, in the
annals of the theater had an actress de-
clined to be promoted to the rank Of
leading lady. OF course Mile. d'Arzac
had her reasons The character she
was asked to play was that Of lament
ably flighty young person. Mile. Arzac
was appalled, at the thought Of imperson-
ating this incorrigible baggage, and
ended by fatty refusing the proffered
part. Whereupon her manager stopped
her salary. She has sued him for the
same and won her case. Henceforth no
one will say that the proprietors are not

en- up cycling with great zest, and to
this interest much Of the phenomenal
growth of cycling is due.
That the use Of the wheel is making
women more courageous, more self-re-
liant, stronger and healthier is illus
trated every day. I do not approve Of
hard, long-distance riding, but preach
moderation. Whatever prejudice may
have existed against bicycling for wom-
en- is rapidly disappearing as the subject
becomes better understood.
The leading women of the country and
also abroad, are adopting the wheel as
the most satisfactory means Of gaining
health and pleasure. If women thor
oughly understood what cycling really
is doing for their sex they would no long

Two years ago the bifurcated garment

Two years ago the bifurcated garment
was the fashion. but many women did
not adopt it, although its use brought
the wheel before the public prominently
and nearly every woman in the land who
did not already ride began learning.
With the decline of bloomers a rational
costume became universal, and today
women who ride the wheel have free
dom Of action they did not formerly
possess.
The popular costume Of today is q
short skirt, coming just below the knees,
with loose fitting knickerbockers Of the
same kind of fabric, and jacket to
match. Either leggings or golf stock
ings are worn. For the head a plain hat
or neat cap is the thing.

1 was one of the first to ride lady's

New Rapid, with hard tires, which
purchased in Manchester, England, in
1889. 1t weighed some forty pounds,

WHEELMEN'S MEETING.
Nominations Made-Prize Awards
A SUNRISE Presentation

At the meeting of the Capital City
Wheelrnen last evening, Vice President
F. T. Dwyer presiding, nominations were
made for officers for the new year, the
election taking place next Monday
night
Captain Shaw announced that the
gold pin prize for club men who within
the year had made twenty miles or
better in an hour had been won by
Messrs. Hirsch, Payen and Holl. The
list of medal awards for members for
various wheelwork within the year
will be announced, he said, at the next
meeting.
The club resolved to hold open house,
for members only, on New Years Day
and evening, and appointed a commit
tee to provide entertainment and re-
freshments.
The surprise of the evening was when
a private committee of members stood
UP President Scott F. Ennis and pre-
sented him with twenty-five volumes
of Victor Hugo's works as a token of
esteem, and to signalize his retirement
from the Presidency after two years
of hard service
In response TO the eulogistic and re-
view speech Of presentation by Execu-
tive Committeeman Woodson, Presi-
dent Ennis made a feeling reply, which
was brimming with emotion. The sur
prise was complete, and that fact added
much to the interest of the event.

HAD A GOOD TIME.
Sequel Of the Swindle Perpetrated
on Mrs. Renfro.

Reference was made in the Rec
ord Union" yesterday to a swindle that
had been practced on Mrs. NJ Renfro,
who resides at 1913 P street A man
representing himself to be policeman
called on Mrs. Renfro and said he had
been obliged to arrest her son for
some minor offense, but that on the
payment of SO the matter could be
squared
Mrs. Renfro paid the $40, but as her
son did not come home she went to
the police station, where she learned
that her son had not been arrested
The police suspected that the person
who got the money was some friend
Of young Renfro and that they both
concocted the scheme to extort money
from Renfro's mother.
An investigation was made yester-
day by Officers Maley and Higgins,
and this suspicion was verified They
found that the man who obtained the
money was named George Odell, and
also that he and young Renfro were
soon afterward seen enjoying a hack
ride.
An effort will be made to have Mrs.
Rentro swear to a complaint charging
Odell with having impersonated an
officer. If she declines to do So there
does not seem to be any serious OBJ
stacle in the way of some official Of
the police department making the
charge
