Members Of the Century Road club
are very enthusiastic over the prospects
of the election of A. l.. Mace, of this
city, as second vice president Of the
national organization. The election Of
Mr.. Mace would be a sort of a COM
promise between the East and the
!, Loo, ol.:4
of taking all the positions on the ma
tional board and leaving the West non
est. Al 1.-THE Western states have reg
istered a kick of late, and the selection
of Minnesota man has met with favor
among the riders in the Western and
middle Western states, owing to the
fact that the organization in Minnesota
has been especially active.
The election comes off between the
1st and 18th of April, in Chicago.
Chief of Police Goss issued an order
last week prohibiting the use of cycle
paths by teams. Many Of the outly-
ing paths have been badly damaged by
persons driving across and over them.
The order of Chief Goss was issued at
the proper time, as the ground is now
very soft and pliable.
George L. Wilson, of the city en-
gineer'S office, stated yesterday that
they would begin repair work ON the
paths just as soon as the ground dried
up and they could have assurances
that the weather was settled. AS long
as the ground was wet they could do
nothing owing to the fact that they
could not get over the paths with the
teams. He expected they might begin
work this week.
J. E. Meyers, chairman of the Asso-
ciated wheelmen, which is conducting
says the work will be completed prob
ably some time this week. A half
dozen Of the large wards had been COM
pleted, and a major portion of the
others had been partially completed.
The census had been apportioned off
into precincts, and some of them had
been very slow in making returns
The canvass had required a great
deal Of hard work ON the part Of the
chairman Of the wards, who deserved
especial credit for the manner in which
they had conducted the census. They
were now waiting for the few delin-
Quent precincts. The work when fin
ished, would, he said, be complete, and
the list compiled would be an accurate
record of every wheelman in the city.
They expected to have it ready a
fortnight before election.
Friday nights snow will prevent
many enthusiastic riders from taking
their regular Sunday morning spin.
