WALLINGFORD EVENTS.


 
 There was a crowd on Colony street yesterday morning anxiously waiting to see Mrs. Allen, the bicyclist, pass by on her long trip from New York to Boston. After a tedious wait of an hour or more the two Meriden riders on tan- dem closely followed by Mrs. Allen passed here at $40 surrounded by number of local riders and several from New Haven. As the female cy- clist was attired in boomers and rode a diamond frame while there was many in the crowd who failed to rec ognize the looked-for wonder as she was so mixed up with the other cy- lists and owing to her ''mannish" at tire was not noticed. Quite number of wheelmen went down to North Ha- ven and came back with the push.
 Now that there is a prospect of an early peace some who have been inter- ested in the work of the Sanitary Re- lief association seem to think that there is not much use of sending the supplies forward for the use of the sol- diers, but this is where they make mistake, as at present there are many sick and wounded who need the ar ticles and the soldiers in Cuba, who Will remain there perhaps for several months even if the war is over, will need the pajamas and other articles. There is quite an amount of sewing to be done and as there is not enough sewing machines at the Congregation al church parlors, where the meetings are held, it is necessary that some of the articles be taken to some of the various homes to be finished. A meet ing will be held this afternoon of the association at the usual place. Sunday morning the new bridge on the cycle path near North Haven was decorated with flags, but before night some vandals had stolen every one.
