effect upon the attendance at the cycle
show in the Washington Light Infantry
armory and a good-sized gathering was
present the entire evening.
This evening will be the last of the show,
and a special program will be rendered.
Nearly fifty prizes will be awarded, after
the custom inaugurated Thursday evening,
while the Neverout lamp and the Bundy
lamp will be given to the handsomest and
homeliest girls respectively. In the locker
room several fancy dances will be given.
A polo match was one of the features
last evening between P. ]. Fisher and How
ard Rhine. Two twenty-minute halves
were played the score at the end of the
first half being to in favor of Fisher,
and at the end of the match s to in favor
of the same player The match was wit
messed by comparatively few, as 1t was
played in the locker room.
The West End Cycle Company will dis
tribute tonight several thousand carnations
and the Tribune booth about the same num-
Der of boutonieres. D. n. Walford will
have supply of 5000 handsome repreSen-
tations of Uncle Sam, perhaps the most
unique and conspicuous souvenir yet given
away A limited supply of these souvenirs
was given out last night and quickly dis
appeared. The watch fob chain, which is
given by Mr.. Warren G.. Fitzhugh at the
Cleveland booth, is one of the most useful
and valuable souvenirs ever given away,
but, on account of the limited supply, is not
given indiscriminately. The decorations of
the booth were designed by Mr.. FitZhugh,
and the exhibit is one of the prettiest in
the room.

Attractive Booths.
One of the exhibits in the hall that at
tracts a great deal of attention is that of
the steel Leech ball-bearing bicycle saddle,
invented by DR.. G. A. Leech, formerly of
this city, but now of IS West 33d street,
New York city. The invention is the result
of practical study for some years from
medical standpoint. The saddle is made of
finely tempered steel, is light and perfectly
hard, and the heat produced by friction is
reduced to a minimum Instead of being
covered with leather it is enameled and can
be obtained in any shade to match the col
oring of the frame of the wheel. While DIR.
Leeeh is in attendance at the exhibit the
manager of the Washington office is Mr. ].
Harry Norris.
Perhaps the most simple stand in the
show Is that of John Rau, the electrician.
Outside the decorations of bunting and the
arrangements of incandescent electric
lights the stand is very plain looking, but
at night when Illuminated 1t produces a
very pretty effect Adjoining is the double
exhibit of the American AIutoscope Com
pany which has perhaps dozen machines
in operation.
In the southeast corner of the hall, op-
posite the Lasley exhibit is the stand of
the LeFevre Manufacturing Company of
Philadelphia, where full line of handle
bars and bicycle sundries is displayed.
Stand % is occupied by the Watson Au-
tomato Saddle Post Company of New York
city, where the merits of the new invention
are fully extoled by competent assistants.
]. Karr, with the Calclite lamp. is situated
in lamp row. as it is termed, and has a
good display.
The decorations of all these stands are
in keeping with the general decorations Of
the hall, and add to its appearance. The
Philadelphia Optical Company has a stand
adjoining Blackstone, the florist.
At the Eclipse booths special attractions

sSmples of coffee and tea will be distribut-
