Anaconda, May 13.-Wheeling is sure
to be a great fad in Anaconda this year,
and interest has no doubt been aug
mented by the organization of the Cycle
Path and Good Roads association which
is now building path for wheeling
between Anaconda and Gregson springs.
The new path has been completed
over half the distance, and by the end
of the week it is thought the men now
at work upon it will be very close to
GregsOn.
A good many of the wheelmen went
out over the track yesterday. and some
went on through to the springs. Every
one pronounced the path as being first
class in every particular.
The building of the path has been an
inexpensive matter far.
