twenty-six years old, she became editor
Of the Chautauqua and held that posi-

in Paris she wrote some articles which

E. Mitchell. formerly president of the
old Arlington Wheelmen, last Sunday rode
his wheel to Frederick and return, COW
ering in all a distance of 136 miles
Mr.. Mitchell. Twenty years ago it was
a common thing for 90 so and sometimes
100 bicyclsts to ride the Frederick and
return Century or some other like route
realized that l was attracting attention.
as I was the only bicyclst on the road
aside from the motor cyclist. There was
a chilly snap in the air. and while other
tourists wore wraps and were muff1ed
up, l was in my shirt sleeves, and the
perspiration was streaming from every
available pore.
THE roads today are like feather cush-
ions compared with those we used to ride
over. The trip reminded me conversely
of the Frederick runs of twenty years
ago in that everything on the road passed
me. However, bicycling is as good eXer-
else as it ever was and ought to provide
more pleasure and satisfaction with the
wonderful Improvement of the roads. 1t
seems strange to me that the present
generation of young men take so little
interest in it. l have arranged with a
number of the old bicycle members of the
Arlington and Century clubs to accom-
pany me on q Century run to Frederick
and return on Old time wheels-no motor
cycles. Seventeen Of the old boys have
promised and we expect to have at least
thirty by the time we are ready to start"
