A perfect evening was the portion of the
enthusiastic cyelers of Washington and
their friends to the number of thousand
odd who invaded Marshall Hall yesterday
and last evening in the interest of the
Great Falls cycle path. Representative
members of the various clubs were In evil
dence with club calls with which to ease
their superfuous spirits wherever two or
three were gathered together. Dancing and
the other attractions of the place claimed
their portion of the time and attention of
the excursionists But the feature of the
evening was the fancy trick riding of Mr.
Myron Baker and Mr.. Howard of the
weather bureau. Both of these young gen
tlemen rode with the grace and skill of
professionals, performing some of the most
difficult feats, although they were heavily
handicapped by the slippery floor of the
dancing pavilion, and the pluck and per-
severance won them well earned applause
Mr.. Clarence Corson and Mr.. Wood, with
the other members of. committees, have
worked with unceasing energy in the in
terest of the cycle path, and yesterdays
excursion will add materially to it's adj
