MOTOR CYCLE Club
Will TAKE part IN
OLD Home parade

The Wilmington Motorcycle Club
is making preparations to take an ex-
tensive part in the Old Home Week
celebrations. The cluD desires all
of its members to participate in two
parades, and will hold special
meeting on next Wednesday evening,
to make final arrangements, at which
time all members together with all
motorcyclists of the city are asked
to be present.
Receiving an invitation from the
Old Home Week Committee to take
part in the mummers' parade on Fri
day evening, J. Vaughn Dean and J.
R. Gordon we're appointed a COM
bittee to confer with the Home Week
officials. Quite a number of the
members will take part in this parade.
1t is not necessary to decorate the
machine in this parade If the rider
does not care to do so. There are
two attractive prizes in this event,
one a $40 and another a IS prize,
which can be taken by the motor
cyclists. Cyclists VIII enter with
side-car outfits, tandem and solo out
fits.
The big event of the year, and one
by which the club feels honored will
be the motor parade of Saturday af-
ternoon. in which the cyclists have
the right of way and lead of the
parade, and $50 in cash prizes have
been set aside for three prizes Of $25,
SIS and SO for the best decorated
machines, and side-car outfits. Harry
p Jones, Hugh M. Smyth and Will
liam Wilson comprise the committee.
One drawback for the club for this
parade was the fact that it came on
the 18th, the date of the big motor
cycle races at Belmont, and which a
large number of riders hau arranged
to attend. Several now have decided
to remain at home and take part in
the parade, and it is to be hoped
that all the others will as we'll.
All riders not able to attend the
special meeting on Wednesday night,
or unable to see the club officials,
are urged to leave their names with
John H. Minnick, at Delaware avenue
and Jefferson street, or Charles B.
Schnepfe, of Delaware Cycle Com
pany, the Harley agents, at No. 900
King street. Mr. Minnick is on the
Home Week auto parade committee,
and desires to be able TO report next
! Thursday evening all entries.
There is no entrance fee for either
of these parades.
