TONGUE POINT BICYCLE PATH
VIII Be Placed in Good Condition for
Use During Coming Season.

At a meeting Of the public ways
commission held yesterday. it was de-
cided to place the bicycle path to
Tongue Point in a good condition for
use during the coming season.
This action on the part of the COM
missoners has been the subject of much
favorable comment in cycling circles
since the meeting of yesterday.
The path running to Tongue Point,
although not as long as the one around
Smiths point, is certainly an ideal one
for riding purposes, provided it is kept
in servieeable condition, and it is to
be regretted that II has been permitted
to retrograde, although there has been
no readily accessible means in the past
through which the expense of repair
ing 1t could have been betrayed. II
the path, when 1t was originally con-
structed, had not been placed so close
to the hill, much of the damage result
ing from fallen trees, slides, etc, might
have been averted. and it is feared. by
some, that the future annoyance and
expense, resulting from the same
source, win hardly justify the outlay
of the amount of money necessary for
present and future repairs. However,
most of the prominent cycle enthusi-
asts believe that but very little future
trouble may be expected from this
source. and that proper repairs viii OBJ
viate their recurrence.
The path around Smiths Point is
reported to be in excellent condition
and but very few repairs will be re-
quired.
A new style of license tex has been
adopted by the commission and is
much handsomer in design than those
in vogue here last year. Licenses on
bicycles will be due on April !.
Owing to the low prices bicycle deal
ers throughout the country are quot
ing on all the standard makes Of
wheels, the coming season bids fair to
surpass all previous ones in point of
numbers and in the amount of enthus-
iasm prevalent in the cycling world.
Each succeeding year finds the sport
becoming more popular among Asto-
rians, and with their new paths, cyc-
lers Of all ages and sexes will hail with
delight the opening of the season.

and dismayed and wronged by Fate,
since luck had turned at last against
him. Large sums had been lost to
players as ineXorable as he himself
had been. Large sums had been di-
verted from the government channels
in his charge, some to pay his so-called
debts of honor, some to cover abstrac-
tiOns from other funds, "robbing Pc
ter to pay Paul" some to silence peo-
pie who knew too much; some, ay,
most of it, in fact, TO cover margins,
and once money gets started on that
grade it slips through ones fingers like
! quicksilver. At the very moment when
Anson Burleigh's cnvious cronies were
telling each other he stood far ahead

him he stood twenty thousand dollars

ringing in his head now like the boom
of some tolling bell. Time was when
he had taken government money and
turned it into handsome profit
through the brokers of San Francisco
and Chicago. But, as Mr.. John Oak
hurst remarked: "There's only one
thing certain about luck and that
