the annual meeting Of the national
board of the Century Road Club Of
America. ra
It will be Mr. Mace's initial meeting
with the new board, and general pol
icy for the coming year will be decided
upon. ~
From indications it Is very probable
that the club will favor an extended
system Of expansion, not expansion in
the popular sense of the word, but a
branching out of the club in new fields
and renewed activity both In the
amateur and professional classes.

There is a striking contrast between
the weather OF the present season and

City cyclists were vying with one an

comparatively an open one, and wheel

The club is also interested in the bet

mental objects Of the club as ma
tional organization. Already can be
of its members In this state. Two
years ago the road from Minneapolis
to Monticello (ifty miles,, being very
sandy and low through long stretches,
made cycling a rather precarious en-
joyment, as several miles of the jour
ney were obliged to be travelled on
foot, either dragging the wheel after
burrs), or carrying 1t over the Shout
der. Now a small but well-construct-
ed cycle path connects these two
points, and dismount between Min
neapolis and Monticello is unnecessa-
ry. This path was constructed by the
Minnesota division of the G. R. c., as
was also the path between st. Paul
Park and Hastings, which, though not
constructed on so elaborate and per-
manent plan as the Summit avenue
path, Is still a cycle path and great
Improvement over the original coun-
try road, which has long been a terror
to road-riding wheelmen.
AS the membership increases, the
club will become a more and more
powerful factor in all matters Of In
