PASADENA, July 2.-(Of1ce OF The
Herald. IS East Colorado street) 1t Is
not generally known among wheelmen
how carefully the city marshal and his
deputies watch the sidewalks to see that
the bicycle ordinance is not dsobeyed.

to- wheelmen who take advantage OF the
smooth cement along streets which are
not in the best condition. Now and then,
however, the marshal springs a surprise
He is himself surprised sometimes, TOO,
by the class of people whom he finds are
given to dishonoring this much-abuseo
ordinance. An instance occurred last night
when Marshal Lacey arrested r.. H. May
cashier Of the First National bank, While
that gentleman was pedaling peacefully
along the sidewalk on West Colorado
street toward his home. Marshal Lacey
had been Informed by residents of that
(. neighborhood that numbers Of bicyclists
were In the habit of riding on the side
walk, and he was lying in wait for ofrend-
ers. when Mr.. May was caught. The hne
for the offense Is SIS.

they please. They must keep out of back
alleys, etc, and sidewalks. There will
be no public demonstration here. Most
