Church OF the Heavenly Presentation. found new
way OF reaching the cyclists OF his church. The
church is at Rockaway-ave and the Highland
Boulevard and Is passed by thousands Of riders
each Sunday Realizing the desire OF his parish
toner's to enjoy their day OF rest awheel. Father
Hand announced a week ago that while he was In
sympathy with the wheel, he did not desire TO see
his flock neglect their church duties. and that he
would have bicycle racks erected In front or the
church so that the riders OF the parish need not go
home dress for their riding. but might come TO
mass as early they wished and start direct from
the church with clean conscience.
At all the services OF the church yesterday the
cyclists OF both turned out In large numbers
and the racks we'll filled Riding the wheel to
church. Judged by the success OF Father Hands
plan has come TO stay and is a success
Many Protestant churches, especially those In the
outlying districts Of the greater city, have en-
couraged riders to attend services. allowing them
10 store their wheels In the Easements OF the Sun
day school. but Father Hands parish Is the first
Roman Catholic religious body 10 offer the cyclists
a chance to ride and not feel out OF place In so
doing and going to church.
