JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.

The cycle parade last evening was
Witnessed by hundreds of people who
thronged the sidewalks. AS a whole,
the turnout was highly creditable to
the wheelmen, but the absence of
lamps from a large number of the
wheels detracted somewhat from the
effect. The parade was in two divi-
sions, the first being led by the Car
bondale Cycle club, who were well rep
resented. Archibald had also a good
sized delegation in the division. The
second division wos composed of local
wheelmen. Many Of the wheels were
quite nicely decorated. Those worthy
of special mention being Willie Park,
Willie Hill, Joe Loughney, Eddie Breen,
Tom Gavin, Sumner Davis, henry
Trotler, Harry Freas, Nichol and Pat
ten, the Carbondale tandem, and Miss
Florence Gebhardt, the only lady rid
er, who carried off the honor for the
prettiest decorated wheel in the par
ade. In the first division there We're
sixty-two riders and in the second six
ty-four. One of the amusing features
of the parade was Will Snyder dressed
as clown and riding the we'll known
Dewey mule. Harry Reeves band
drawn by his speedy thoroughbred,
which brought up the rear, also caused
much amusement and was followed all
along the route by hundreds of chill
dren. The order of the parade was as
follows: Chief Mckinley, carriage con-
taining the burgess, Citizens band,
visiting wheelmen, Hogarth's band,
local wheelmen, West Mayfield band.
After the parade a social was held in
Enterprise hall, which was largely at
tended and proved very enjoyable, the
proceeds of which will be devoted to
paying off the debt incurred in building
the cinderpath.
