brought In by those who went over the Hudson
County Boulevard in New-Jersey. the Coney Island
cycle path IN Brooklyn and the nearby roads on
Staten Island. gentle breeze was blowing. just
enough to make healthy exercise thoroughly en-
joyable. and yet not strong enough to interfere
materially with the riders who faced It on their
journeys Many riders thinly clad hurried home

grow colder the night advanced. but II there
was any change In the temperature It was not per-
ceptible to those who remained out until late The
number CT women riders during the day was
unusally large. Fancy coored shirt waists are
becoming remarkably popular with wheelwomen

Advlces from President Keenan, OF the League OF
American Wheelmen state that at the meeting or
the International Tourists Association. held In
London last week. the association was properly
organized with the League OF American Wheel
men as an affiliated member The countries repre-
sented and which now on the membership
roll. are the United States. England. Scotland,
Ireland France Germany. Switzerland Belgium.
Holland Denmark. Italy, Norway and Sweden. II
is agreed between the national organizations which
20 TO make up the international association that
members Of any OF them are entitled TO all the
privileges OF a resident member In any one OF the
others This privilege is to be extended TO tourists
awheel and will include the same benefits as are
derived from a national organization. Many Of the
European countries allow members Of cycling or
ganlzations to cross the borders without payment
Of duty. provided they show their membership
cards This arrangement IS similar 10 that which
exists between the Canadian customs authorities
and the League of American Wheelmen. whereby
a member can cross into Canada without paying
duty. The international Touring Association VIII
endeavor TO make this universal for the lndlvld-
ual members OF all the national organizations 50
that the simple showing OF membership card Will
be sufficient for a through Europe without
having TO pay any duty whatever. This Is privl-
lege which will be appreciated by American wheel
men, particularly next year, during the Paris Tx
position.
