sion" 50 here boys Is a chance to livefi
up our runs and increase Che number OF
riders, particularly as It furnishes some
attraction while on your wheels.

wheelinen out, as it promises to be COOL
The few clubs that have hit upon the
idea of holding a run every rid night
will be out in force.

leave the clubhouse tonight.
our Own Rifle Club viii take a spin OF
about fifteen miles tomorrow on the
regular Saturday run. The destination
has not been decided upon and it IS hint
ed the run viii be a blind one; TINS IS,
the party will leave the clubhouse awhee'
led by some member who Is posted on
the best roads in the vicinity, and Where
he goes the Others must follow without
any knowledge of the objective point,
Runs Of this kim have become quite
popular in Hoboken. but the students on
club runs predict a very short life for the
scheme. 1t has its novel features, It IS
true. but they will wear away readily and
the interest in the idea depends for IT'S
life ON the life of the novelty.
The Garden Wheelmen and a number OF
their lady friends left the clubhouse on
Garden street. Hoboken, last night and
wheeled to Bergen Point, where they
spent a very pleasant time. enjoying the
cool breezes and a supper after Whlch
they returned home in the best OF Splits.
The aides are now sorry that they are
not permitted to partake in all the ciup $
runs. and some of them who have brothers
in the club will ask some questions thal
the latter will have to think about. They
must have had a good time.
DIR. Eakin's designations as captain OF
the North Hudson County Cyclers has
been accepted with regret. The Doctor
has been a hard and good worker for the
clubs interest and his conscientious feel
ings were respected when several of the
members who were strong personal
friends Of the captain, e~ndeavored to have
him reconsider his determination. Stress
of business was the Doctors excuse and
he said he could not retain his position
because he could not give the office proper
attention and he appreciated the harm an
officer who did not do his duties would
work.
The Hoboken Turn Verein Cyclers have
decided to discontinue the club runs for
the remainder of the season.
Eddie McDuffee and Jimmy Michael will
meet tomorrow in Philadelphia in a
fifteen mile paced race. This should be a
good race, barring accidents McDuffee
holds more records than any other rider
in this country, but the question is now
can he beat the man whose time he has
beaten?
