road riding and read races. The weather
at this season of the year is ideal for the
latter events, and hence it is no surprise
that there is every indication of more road
racing this fall than for some years past
This is gratifying. There is nothing more
exciting than to witness the finish of a
road race.
The first open event Of the season that
has been announced Is the twenty-mile
handicap race. which will be given Monday,
November 8. at o'clock in the afternoon
This will bring out large field of. entrants
The entry blanks have made their appear
ance, placing the entrance fee at 81, which
is bound to bring out good list of prizes.
The entries close at noon on Saturday,
October 80. The list Of prizes will be an
nounced later. The course generally used
for the twenty miles will undoubtedly be
used, and permission will be asked for the
use Of the road for the purpose. The
limit men will most likely have handicap
of eleven minutes while other entrants
will he started off at various intervals until
the scratch men are sent of.
The Chain and Sprocket Club will hold
it's first road race Friday afternoon over
the ten-mile course on the Conduit road,
permission having already been secured
for the purpose. A committee in charge
of the race consists of e. E. Wakefield F.
A. Steele, c. E. Hoover G. Graft and G.
Kraak. The race will be limited to men,
bers of the club. many of whom are now
training for the event. The list of prizes
and officie Is will be announced later The
handicapping will be performed by one of
the club members.
Following the example of last year it is
likely that the employees of the govern
ment printing office will hold their road
race on Thanksgiving day of this year.
Last year the Arlington wheelmen and the
G. P. Q. people held their meet, one after

THE PION FER RIDERS

OF all that has been written about bicy-
cling in Washington, very little has ever
been said of the pioneers in the line. 1t
seems as though the subjects under discus
sion extend back only to the time Of the
advent of the safety, but this is probably
due to the fact that during the time Of the
safety the greatest progress in the sport
and pastime has been made. Prior to that
time the bicycle was a luxury; now 1t is
regarded as q necessity, and this makes
big difference.
II the history of the old ordinary in this
city was written up, it would make inter-
esting reading. The condition Of affairs
then was not nearly so favorable for rid
ing as it Is now. The smooth streets did
not then exist and the roads, II anything,
were slightly inferior. Yet with all of these
drawbacks, the ranks Of the riders steadily
increased. Few are aware that q bicycle
school was established in this city as early
as 1868. yet such was the case. Riding
was then q novelty, and the .bone-shaker,'
was the only thing in the bicycle line. The
old ordinary was as great an Improvement
upon the ''bone-shaker as the safety of
today is upon the ordinary. When the
"bone-shaker' was introduced it was a de-
cided novelty. and the craze at the time
can be nkened to the roller-skate craze of
several years ago.
According to Mr. Albert Gleason, the first
bicycle school in the District was just after
the close Of the war. In fact, the opening
Of the school marked the advent Of the
wheel in this city. SO he stated to Star
reporter few days ago.
The school was located In what was
termed Carusi's Hall. the site Of which is
now occupied by Kernan's Theater. The
place proved to be q great attraction. It
was opened and conducted by Syivanus
Gleason, q brother to Andrew Gleason.
The ''bone-shaker,' proved to be q cur
fosity, and when ridden on the street, the
rider was followed by large crowds Mr..
Sylvanus later opened an outdoor riding

school and track on 9TH street, where the
National Park is now located. quarter
rile track was built, but constructed :ar
differently from the modern ideas of track
building. Planks were laid around The en-
tire course, something after the order of a
corduroy road with no attempt at banking
on the turns. Over this track a number of
races were held, which Were witnessed by
the elite of the city. The distance to the
track at that time was regarded almost
great as is the distance to the In.erna-
ticnal Athletic Park at present. and there
were no railroad facilities of any conse-
QCence.
To see Mr.. Gleason, the contractor, one
would hardly imagine that he ever posed
as racing man, yet such was the case.
In 1869 meet was held at the track, in
which there were four or five contestants
one Baltimore man and another son of
ex-senator Lynch. The race was for the
championship of Maryland. Mr.. Gleason
managed to win in rather good time. He
places the time of the race at 2.55. but it
is quite likely that this was a minute slow,
as 255 on an upright was regarded ex-
cellent time as late as 1890 He still has
the championship trophy cup of the race at
ship belt of the state Of Maryland. Mr..
Gleason stated that he rode out to the
track on his "bone-shaker." and he we'll
remembers riding out street. which was
then cobble stones. This was prior to the
paving of the street with wooden blocks.
which came into style as A paving material
some years later. A crowd of several hum
dred men and boys were attracted by the
sight and followed him almost the entire
distance to the park. whooping and yelling
at what was thought to be a strange spec
tacle.
After remaining several years in this t.ftv
Mr.. Sylvanus Gleason went out on the Dad
with the ''bone-shakers." and Travelled ever
a large portion Of the country, giving ex-
hibitfons Of his riding. He was accom-
panied by Andrew. who raced whenever an

BICYCLE PARTY

With the coming Of cold weather circum-
stances compel the wheelmen TO turn their
minds to forms Of indoor amusement. A
novelty is the bicycle party, in which con-
siderable ingenuity and skill can be dis
played. This is especially true where
party OF riders of both sexes can be gath
cred together, making the time pass all
the more pleasantly and enjoyably. A young
lady OF this city gave a party of this kind
during the week, which was a decided sue
cess. 1t was purely bicycle party, and a
number of riders of both sexes were in
vited.
The guests were divided into pairs, one
gentleman and one lady. Each ncr-
son was furnished neatly arranged list
of questions, which was bound together
with ribbons, with a pretty lead pencil at
tached with colored cord, like a program
for dance. The questions were plainly
printed, and opposite each question was left
blank space for the aLswer to be written.
One hour and a half was allowed in which
to answer the queries. and at the emu of
that time the books were collected, and the
one having the largest number of correct
answers was given a prize. That meant
two prizes. as the partners were sure to
nave the same answers. Then there were
Two BOBBY prizes to be given to the couple
Swers.

questions. announced that the purpose of
the gathering was to introduce Miss Ri
cycle to the members of the club On the
first page, under the heading, Elements of
Miss Bi Cycle" were the following head
ings or questions:
l. An equine appurtenance.
2. Part of an organ.
3. Necessities of a modern dinner
4. Little Bostons
8. A chair and a military station.
D. Eastern headdreSses.

IL. To touch and to prevent
ID. The travellers friends
20. Miss Wizards special horror

AS may be supposed. some of the answers
We're easy, but others puzzled the guests.
L men. again, there were several questions
which could be answered in more ways
than one, and yet only one answer could be
received. Some of the simplest questions
proved to be the hardest to some and vice
versa Not one member in the entire gath
ering answered the fifteenth question When
the books were all in, and the answers gone
over some humorous things developed
For the ninth question a good many had
steps Tor an answer, and the twentieth
question was answered by all but one
couple as cups" Before the contest began
1t was announced that the questions related
only to the bicycle itself, and not to any ac-
cessories. such as tool bag. lamp or bell
