c. r.. c. CENTURY BAR.
Description of Work Necessary Be-
fore 1t Finally Reaches the Rider.


Few road riders realize the amount of
investigation, checking and recording
which is occa stoned by the issue of eacn
century bar to a club member. Prior to
the organization of the Century Road
Club of America, hundreds of local cy-
cling clubs throughout the country had
their rules for distance riding and issued
so-caled century bars to their members
These bars were of as many different de-
signs and shapes as there were clubs, and
their significance as record amounted to
little or nothing. In 1893 the executive
cvommittee of the Century Road club
adopted system which remained in force
with little alteration except as to detail
up to the present date The value OF Il
c. r. C. bar as a record is now, and has
been for years. so firmly established that
all these minor local organizations. with
but few exceptions, have given up entire
ly the issuance of bars to their mem
bers.
The C. R. C. system of checking and
examining individual claims for bars is
most rigid and eXacting, and is carried
out with precise uniformity in all sec
tions of the country. Printed forms call
ed application for bar are issued by
the club, and furnished in quantities TO
all members; these blank forms are ad
dressed to the chief centurion of the di-
vision wherein the member resides. Upon
the completion of a century rum this
form is filed out by the rider; giving the
following information: Name, address,
time of start, time of finish. starting
point. finishing point. intermediate route
and by whom accompanied The appli-
cation is then indorsed by the local cen
turion and forwarded by him to the state
centurion who is a practical road-rider
and perfectly familiar with all century
courses and distances between points in
his division. The elaSped time from start
to finish of the run is carefully noted, the
route examined and checked as to dis
taance covered A record is made of the
names of the riders who accompanied the
applicant, or If he made the trip alone
the application is examined again for an
affidavit signed by a notary public at
testing the truth of the statements made
and which is required to be attached to
all such applications. Upon satisfying
himself that the claim Is a correct one
the state centurion attaches his signature
in approval and forwards it to the road
record committeeman of his district
Upon reaching this office the applica-
ton goes through another rigid examina-
ton. The three members of this national
committee have been selected with view
to their entire fitness for the position
Each of them is an expert road rider and
has a wide acquaintance with riders of
all sorts and descriptions in his district
bogus application for bar would stand

riders in all parts of the country. Over
10000 were issued last season, and this
record will probably be nearly if not
quite doubled this year, as the interest
in road riding is on the increase and the
gradual betterment of our country roads
and increase of our side path system is
making long trips awheel more enjoya-
BILE for the average rider than was the
case a few years ago.
Section Of the bylaws describe the
century bar as follows: 1.-THE century bar
of the club for q single century shall be
flat gold bar one inch In length and
three -sixteenths Of an inch in width,
bearing the date of the century ride speci-
fed by the applicant, and at the end the
usual C 100 emblem stamped into the
etal.@Eor-a a=double=century members
may specify double century bar; for
a triple century, a triple century bar,
and for quadruple century a quad
century bar. In each respective instance
these bars to be double, triple and quad
ruple the width of single century bar
Double century bars shall bear two dates;
triple century bars shall bear three
dates, and quadrupIe century bars shall
bear four dates.

just about as much show of getting by
the road record committee as counter
felt bill would of passing through the
hands of treasury expert at Washing
ton without detection. If any flaw or
irregularity is discovered the application
is at once returned to the chief centurion
for investigation; otherwise the applica-
ton proceeds on the regular course. First.
the century is recorded to the credit of
the rider in a special record book kept
for this purpose and containing a full
record of each century ridden by club
member. This book Is valuable for future
reference and is kept UP with great care
by the chairman of the committee
Secondly. the bar order Is made out in
triplicate, each copy bearing the same
serial number, the original order being
mailed to the applicant, the second be-
ing mailed to the official jeweler at Chi
cago and the third being filed away in
numerical order by the committeeman
and kept for reference in making up his
monthly report to the chairman. Upon
receipt of the duplicate of the order, the
jeweler makes a record of the name and
address of the rider and date and num-
Der of the order The rider upon receipt
of his order forwards it to the jeweler
in order to receive his bar. The jeweler
is obliged to check this order as receiv-
ed from the rider, against his record of
same as received from the road record
committee, before issuing the bar. Dup
IicationS or false issues are thus render
ed practically impossible. 1t is this care
full attention to detail and exactness in
execution that has caused these little
century bars to become highly priced by
