According to a note in the Manchester
Guardian, the late bard Gwalchmai was
born at Dauerchymedd. If it was so, he
took his bardic name from Gwalchmai,
another village in Anglesey. But the fact
Is, his birth took place SO very long ago
that nobody seems to be able to remem-
Der where the event took place, and 1t is
certain that the bard himself could not.

Washington Team Won First Hon0rs
In Yesterday's Century Rum.
The fifth annual run Of the Century Cycle
Club OF Maryland took place yesterday
from Baltimore. The run was to Fred
erick. Md, ard return, a distance Of a
little over 100 miles. The start was made
from the corner of Eutaw and Madison
streets at $50 O'Clock, and over 400 wheel
men and wheelwomen responded to the
busie call. which was the signal to start.
At the head rode the pacemakers. Joseph
Wirth and George Pfeffer, followed by the
officers OF the run, Charles B. Bake, cap
tain; Henry Smith, first lieutenant; William
H. Powell, second lieutenant.
The total number Of entries was 49, of
which number 40 started and 36 finished
the run. In the party were thirteen ladies.
Each survivor will receive a handsome
ox1dized badge from the Century Club.
The run Of yesterday was the hardest
one in the history of the club. Last years
run ended in hard rain, which was better
than fighting the dust all the way to Fred
erick and back, as was the case yesterday.
The dust and sand on the roads was at
places two and three inches deep, and
this, together with the strong, damp wind,
which the riders had to face all the way
home, not only made 1t laborious, but the
clouds Of dust made 1t impossible to see
the distractions and ruts.
Quite a number of wheelmen from this
city entered, and. as far as is known, sur
vived the run within the time limit L. A.
Fisher and Frank Moore, representing the
c. Bi c., were among the survivors, as was
also A. s. Mccoy of the same club. The
Century Cycle Club of this city entered a
team of eleven men, ten of whom finished.
The team was composed of Edward 5.
Byrnes, captain; G. W. Myers, H. c. Clio
yer, James Tune, Louis Abel, C. V. Spar
row, Howard Fisk. A. Hollander, John H.
Glover, A Griffith and E. C. Eckhon.
The boys worked hard for the banner Of
fered to the out-of-town club making the
best showing and are confident they have
won 1T. although this will not be known
until all the checks have been sorted and
arranged.
