MANY ATTEND BICYCLE FAIR
Bicycle Whirl and Pretty Booths Attract
Much Attention

Every night seems to attract a larger
crowd TO the fair in Pyle's Cycle Acad-
emy, given by members of the Will
mingtOn Bicycle Club. AT SIS O'Clock
last night Tine hall was filled, and
many women were in attendance.
The bicycle whirl is the main attrac-
tion, and the way the daring riders
spin around IL makes the people shud-
der. During the pursuit race last
night, while Woodruff was going
around the bottom OF the pit like an
express train, the chain OF his bicycle
came on. and he had a bad fall. He
hastily fixed it, however, and contin-
ued the race.
The pretty booths attract much at
tention. and The First Regiment Band
gives many pleasing selections.
Last night G. ]. Kirk won fine silk
umbrella and A. L. Budher won the
five-dOllar merchandise prize. Tonight
copy of Miss RemingtOns Reverie
will be given to every woman attend
ing the fair. Many remained after the
last performance on the wIhirl to enjoy
the dancing. The music, which was
furnished by members of the First
Regiment Band, was excellent II
people who go to the fair do not enjoy
themselves it is their own fault. be-
cause the members of the bicycl,
club do everything they can think OF
to please their visitors. They have
furnished a little side room with
mudh good taste, where ice cream 4.
served. There are guessing contests
and voting contests, drawing in whicf
anything from a carpet sweeper to &
brick house may be won. II the larg,
attendane continues. the committee
although under heavy expense, has nc
doubt but that the fair will be a com
plete success.
