BICYCLISTS' FADS.
Some of Those Which Have Been
Noticed.

"Bicyclists have some odd fads, many of
which they themselves are unconscious of
following, but which the public cannot fail
to observe with interest and some amuse-
ment,' said an expert Washington wheel
man.
Several years ago it was the high frame
wheel, riders extending the leg to the ut
most tension on the lower half of the circle
the pedal describes on each revolution. You
would see short-limbed little sawed-off
chaps mounted on -four-inch frames
straining first to the right and then to the
LETT. and expending enough energy in pro-
pelllng their wheel as in lifting heavy
weights. Others would go further and raise
the seat-post several inches above the
frame, already too high, and the saddle
would be 50 elevated that the wheels were
mounted from the rear by stepping on a
small projection of the axle. The ladies
rode with only the very tips of their toes
touching the pedal, and it was a wonder
that they secured any leverage at all.
Then came the lOw-framed wheel, and it
sticks, as wheelmen have learned the idiocy
of carrying around lot of useless metal.
The almost universal limit of frame now is
twenty-five inches as against twenty-six
few years ago. 1t is a great sight to see
a big 210-pound bike cop on little twenty
inch frame wheel, weighing twenty pounds,
with 1A-inch tires. Five years ago the
same man would have ridden a twenty-six-
11s-iLch tires. 1t is a revelation how these
little wheels stand up with these big fell
lows, but they do, and they testify to the
skill of the modern machinist and what he
car do with his tools and few feet of
steel and rubber tubing.
First came the high-Collar sweater, and
every bike crank went about with his knit
ted collar up to his ears. He looked the
real thing, and undoubtedly felt as he look
ed. Then followed the fat sailor collar "A
foot more square over the back Topping
up and down like beavers tail and as hot
in summer as coal fire. a burden though
they were, no Self-respecting bike crank
would have thought of being seen without
that collar. 1t disappeared as suddenly as it
came. and in its place appeared the sweater
of thinner and more suitable material with
broad, brilliant-hued stripes, which made
the bike crank had not escaped from Jail
and fallen into alternate barrels of ana
linz dye en- route to freedom.
First it was the high handle bars, and
then low handle bars; the erect position,
and then the hump-back; the different fads
as to caps, with long, projecting jockey
peaks to the cap, with the stubby little
Dutch peak; the day of highly infamed
and broad checked bike pants with the
broad band and three buttons at the knee,
to the two-cent steel band to flap around
the ankle; century runs and century med
ais; wheels of mixed hues, and dozens of
other fads all more or less now passed as
the wheel and its riders have come down to
a more sensible basis all around

EXCURSIONS.

Marshall Hall win be an attractive place
tomorrow and should the day prove to be a
pleasant one there, is every reason to an
ticipate that a large number will take the
journey to enjoy of these famous
planked shad dinners served on the arrival
of the boat. The celebrated Marshall Hall
clam chowder is served with each meal.
The steamer Charles Manchester will make
two trips to Marshall Hall tomorrow, leav-
ing 7th street wharf at II am. and $50
pm.
Tomorrow will be another of those en-
joyable German Sundays at River View, the
outing being given under the auspices OF
the Germania Maennerchor, which has
among it's members the leading German
singers of this city and vicinity. The day
will be given up to music, and the full
chorus of the society will render vocal
program, arranged for the occasion. The
River View orchestra will add to the
pleasure of the day, with instrumental con-
certs on the boat and on the grounds. The
steamer Pentz will make three trips, leav-
ing her wharf here at 1915 am, 2;45 and
5:45 pm. The return trips will be made at
L, 8, 7:30 and $50 pm.
The trip to Mount Vernon can be made
via the swift and comfortable electric
trains of the Washington, Alexandria and
Mt. Vernon railway. Via this route only
are the many points of historical interest
between Washington and Mount Vernon to
be seen and explained. Allowing one hour
and twenty minutes on the grounds but
three hours is consumed for the entire trip.
Stop over privileges allowed at Alexandria
also connection made for the Arlington ma
tonal cemetery. Trains leave station every

THE ASPHALT PAYMENTS.
Why Those in Washington Last and
Look Well.

A gentleman standing on the curb of
Pennsylvania avenue recently called to
Washingtonian's attention gang of street
laborers tearing up the asphalt In various
places and replacing it smooth and level
with fresh bitumen.
Asphalt pavement is supposed to be as
phalt pavement in one city as in another"
he said TO the resident, but in my short
stay at the capital this winter I have no.
uced the difference in the way asphalt
streets are maintained in New York and in
Washington. 1t is a trife to pedestrians,
but matter of supreme Importance to the
taxpayers and the owners of carriages and
other vehicles.
Before this gang of repairers came along
the surface of the street to my eye ap-
peared level and in perfect condition. | OBJ
served the foreman first appear, draw with
large piece of black chalk a circular or
irregular line around the indentations of
the pavement, which could not be seen in
New 1ork, and then proceed to the next
block Then followed the men, with picks
and axes, who cut through and removed
the outer covering of the pavement accord
ing to the black lines. They in turn were
followed by the men who filled in the
patched places with fresh hot asphalt
rolled it smooth, placed cord wood sticks
beside the new asphalt to protect the sur
faces from the imprint of the wheels of We
hicles. and without delay proceeded to the
next block
What a contrast in New York! The as
phalt pavements in many streets are pub
licly declared to be actually unsafe and are
filled with holes and hills clear through to
the cement. The close and careful atten-
ton given TO repairs In Washington, which
is the secret of the lasting of asphalt pave
ment, is conspicuous by its absence. Why
is it? That gang of street repairers, and
assume there are others in different parts
of the city, moved quietly and steadily
along like small, well-trained army In
New York similar gangs of street laborers
seem to be famous for the little work they
do and the great time they take in doing
1t. while in the case of the repair of the
streets paved with granite blocks their
work is locally acknowledged to be little
better than none at ALL The matter of street
repairs in Gotham is a subject of never
ending complaint and a permanent reproach
50 the city. In Washington 1t Is a sue
cess"
And you have advanced one of the main
reasons why Washington is acknowledged
| by all visitors to have the best-paved
| streets of any city in the world, with pos
| sibly the exception of Paris-close and i'm
| mediate attention to repairs replied the
| resident.

The Harmless Bloodhound,

From Out1ng
"The idea that the English bloodhound Is
savage and particularly ferocious animal
Is very common error, In no small part
due, perhaps, to the bloodthirsty stories
most of US have read in Uncle Toms Cab
in. The hounds mentioned by Mrs Har-
riet Beecher Stowe, however, as used in
the southern states, were cross-bred ami
mails and related to the Cuban hound, with
blending of mastiff, bulldog and hound
blood, and were quite savage, and have
little. If any, resemblance to the English
specimen. These dogs were first known in
the West Indies in the latter part of the
eighteenth century, when a number were
imported, probably from Spain, for the
purpose of suppressing the Maroon insur-
rection, but the natives were so inspired
with terror at first sight Of the animals
that it was found unnecessary to make use
Of them.
Until some fifty years ago bloodhounds
were often used in England for tracking
sheep stealers, and also by keepers and
herders in all the large forests where
poachers gave trouble Some idea may be
had Of the value Of these dogs in such
cause when 1 say that they have been
known In England to follow their quarry
across water. There are many theories re-
garding how the scent Is carried on the
water but the one most generally accepted
Is that 1t is held in the bubbles which re-
main on the surface Of the water after the
swimmer or wader has passed"

effect that Weber and Fields have secured
control OF the Herald Square Theater in
that city and that Willie Collier will head
q company there in 1903. Augustus Thomas
has written an original comedy called "A
College Boy for Mr.. Collier. and it will
have its first presentation at that time.
As compared with the condition of the
actor two hundred years ago his present
ftatus is a marvellous example of social
development, but. even looked at In the
light of the comparatively recent past, his
advance toward more favorable recognition
Is strongly marked. In an address to some
students In the west during the last tour

one time in his early stage career he was
banished from a certain state because he
was a player In New Haven he was fined
for not paying a license, and not being
able or unwilling at the moment to pay
the fine he was put in jail.

THE aUN-BARREL FENCE.
It Stood at the Entrance of the Arsenal
Grounds.

"a small, but nevertheless interesting.
landmark as it were, Of Washington has
disappeared, and with it has gone another
relic of the civil war;" said an old resident.
Il refer to the iron fence in the arsenal
grounds, which for so many years sur
rounded the old wooden hospital building
on the right hand of the main entrance at
the foot Of AZ street. This fence was Of
more than ordinary interest and was his
toric, as it was made Of musket barrels
surmounted by bayonets taken from mus
kets used in the civil war. 1t made both
unique and effective barrier to the public
and was often commented upon by visitors
VINO, stroll1ng through the grounds, would
nnger curtously the rusty points of the
bayonets, and wonder whether they had
ever seen actual service upon the field of
battie. AS sentry is on constant duty at
this entrance he was piled with questions
as to the fence and the old cannon balls
and shells piled near the main archway.
AS the troops at the arsenal were con-
stantly changing these inquiries were not
always answered fully, the men being new
and uniformed
Il made inquiry at the arsenal recently in
hopes of discovering some data as to the
authentic history of this peculiar fence.
now reiegated to the scrap heap, but, as
the troops are newcomers, 1 could obtain
no positive information regarding the year
In which the fence erected and who

1t is gone, and old residents will mourn the
passing of another reminder of the old
days.
The change may be said to be an i'm
provement in that many Of the bayonets
were broken off, and the firing line as it
We're, somewhat jagged and irregular, the
barrels being eaten and pitted by rust.
Inc entrance to the grounds looks less
cramped than formerly, and with the re-
moval of the old wooden guard house,
which has been replaced by a fine new
brick building a little farther south the
approach to what is one of the prettiest
water parks in this country will be made
even more attractive. In fact the arsenal
grounds have been greatly improved re-
Gently, especially as to the new parade
grounds, which are now smooth and level.
RMS park is not fully appreciated by Wash
1ngtonians, mainly because of it's remote
ness from the center of the city. 1t has
many natural beauties. and when the plans
OF Secretary Root are carried out it will
be one of the show parks of the city, as it
has hundreds of great old trees, with
spreading branches, which no amount Of
money expended can duplicate on order.
Perhaps some of the old readers Of The
Star may be more familiar with the his
tory of what was of the most unique
fences in any city in the United States but
In any event, when they wander down to
the arsenal grounds, beneath the shade of
the giant naples, they will at once note
its absence"
