TO SUPPRESS A BELL.
Mrs. Allen Wheels From New York to
Boston in Twenty-Four Hours.

Boston, Aug. AIRS. A. NJ. Allen Of
Worcester, Mass, arrived in Copley
square, Boston, at HISS last night, hav-
ing ridden the entire distance from New
York on a bicycle. She left New York
at midnight and was to attempt to
reach Boston inside of twenty-four
hours. She did 261 miles in two minutes
and twenty seconds less than twenty
four hours.
The ride was a remarkable one in
some respects. Mrs. Allen encountered
bad roads much of the way and ran
into a rainstOrm in Connecticut, where
she had to carry her wheel four miles.
She passed through New Haven at S:13
forty-three minutes late, and she kept
losing through Meriden, New Britain,
Hartford, Springfield and Worcester,
until when she reached South Framing
ham she was two hours late. Here she
struck the beautiful new state highway
leading to Boston, and it was in fine
condition.
She had just an hour and a half to
reach Boston and reeled off the miles
like a racer. A big crowd cheered her
as she swung around the corner into
COpley square just before the clocks
struck midnight.

The $500, 900 was taken through the

through the postoffice and express Of

hard to ascertain.
