son—Military C'yc-linjf.WASHINGTON, D. C., April 4. Editor

SPORTING LIFE: When tlic poet-shoemaker wrole"Ami the sorrowing night slit<] many a tear," we doubt not but that he had* just been through §uch A siege of weather ax we have been afflicted with the pant, six weeks; yea, eerily, two months.

Yes. it has ruined, is raining now and the probabilities are that rain wiH "rule the roost" the remainder of the spritij? reason. Any number of wheelmen are anxiously awnitiiiK the coming of settled weather, and not a tr\v new pncumatiea arc among that number waiting tor their first country air- log.

WJTER1-: THEY Will, GO. -The clubs all have runs announced for Sun­

day, the Arlingloris going as far as Cabin John and return, and the Columbias to the club house or the Conduit road. All will DC postponed indefinitely if thia weather con­ tinues. The Nomads also want to take a moonlight riilc on Wednesday, their first night ride of the season. The Crescent Cen­ tury Club anticipate a fifty mile country run through the Shemuulonh Valley on Sunday; also their first run as a club this season.

AS A CONSOLATION'.Sonic good times indoors, however, were

had '.luring the pust week, and the entertain­ ment ot the Nomad <'lull nnd the Columbia "smoker" were among them.

Miss Mac (juiliiord, of Tenth street, N. E., entertained the members of the Nomad Club on Wednesday evening with "Au Evening of Poetry."

At the meeting a week previous each member was given a slip of p:ipcr on which the name of another member of the club was written. This was to be the theme of his poem. A gift, the cost of which should not eicei-d ten cents, was to be handed in on it "the «flbrt of a life time." The poems were then read aloud and members each allowed one guess as to who the individual might be who did the work of composition. Prizes, in addition to the ten-cent ones, were offered for the successful guessers, which proved to be Miss May Altemus and Mr. George Davidsou.

It is surprising the number ot poets the Nomad Club have among their members.

No one broached the subject of "Spring" and but one spoke of "The Beautiful Snow."

One member indulged in blank verse tohis heart's content, and simply repeated his sub­ ject from thought over ami over again twenty-eight times in all and yet this was the poem on which the first prize was te- Ourrd. Miss Gulford sang several selections, and made everybody feel at home.

It wasLOSG AFTER MIDNIGHT,

when the evening's sport was drawn to a close, but not too late for the unlucky thir­ teen to sit around the table at the "cake house" and enjoy a plate or so of cakes with old Vermont maple syrup, timed by Captain Manning with liis new timer. Miss Martin will entertain the club next week (if it rains) with a cobweb and peanut party. A special meeting for the transaction of business is also called lor the same place and date. This will close the series of weekly entertainments given by the ladies of the club in honor of the gentlemen.

A pleasant winter lias been spent and al­ most every kind of novel entertainment has been had. The gentlemen arc indebted to the ladies for their efforts in their behalf, and especially to Miss Husy for a masquerade party; Miss johnston for progressive ana- grama," Miss Altemus for progressive fishing; the Misses Atlec for a lemon party; Mr. and ilrs. liobertson Cor the "hard times" party; Miss Kufen>eyeral pleasant evenings-at her home; Miss Wiley for a bonnet and necktie party; and the Misses Frirney, Bnscy, M:irtin, Kobertson, Kufeu and A I tern us for business meetings.

The club is now on a fine financial footing and with the coming of spring the building up of membership will be commenced.

The Nomads have had their emblem, a Nomadic encampment, over which hangs the letters N. C. C..made into a handsome enam- eledand gold pin. It is the design of Presi­ dent Guzman, and is a beauty.

A LAST SMOKK.The final "smoker" of the season given by

the Columbia Cycle Club, was held at their club house, corner of Third and New Jersey avenue, on Thursday evening, and despite the inclement weather the house was crowded. Tobacco, pipes, etc., etc. (considerable etc.), were provided, and a most enjoyable evening spent.

A fine musical programme had been ar­ ranged and included some of the best talent of the city. Mr. E. R. Hay and Hub T. Smith (he who wrote "Listen to My Tale of Woe") recited and entertained. Messrs. Mc- Eminey, Straight, Wright, Ilinkle, Morgan anti Myers were on the programme. Messrs. Jose ami McKnaney. of the entertainment committee, deserve great praise for their uu- tiring efforts, and it is to them that a great deal of the success of the smoker is due.

THE IUCTURN OF TUB BRIDK.We can expect a big time on the return

from his wedding trip of President Dyer. Mr. Dyer was married at Chelsea, Mass., on Wednesday.

SOLDIERLY CYCLISTS.The Military Cyclers, D. C. N. G., arc very

busy these days preparing for their enter­ tainment and dance the latter part ot this month.

DOWN TO BUSINESS.That cycle company chicken is getting to

be a big bird. Some time ago it was uble to flap it8 wings and now it may soon be ex­ pected to crow for that is the kind of a chicken it is. Wofk on the drill book has been completed by the board appointed to arrange a tactical system; carbines have been issued, and everybody is ready for busi­ ness. Popular interest in the cycle idea as applied to military purposes grows wonder­ fully, Doth in the city and abroad. Letters are daily being received from all parts ot the country. Some of those who make such dili­ gent inquiry are of the regular army, others are National Guardsmen; others are simply enthusiasts on wheeling. One of the leading cycle manufacturers has sent to headquarters a completely equipped military cycle; this machine will be the subject of much experi­ ment.

THE NEW OFFICERS.Gen. Ordway has recommended for com­

mission Frank B. Couch as captain; W. Alien Balsh as first lieutenant; Frank P. Libbey as second lieutenant.

Thus the first regularly organized cycle corps in the United States has its home in this city. __ CAPITOL,

THE CANADIAN MEET.

Barnfa and Kingston Both Want It—"Senator" Morgan Addresses

the Club.SAKNIA, April 3. The Mail of March 26

rays: "Apropos of race meets, the question is being asked, 'Will Kiuwton get the C. W. A. meet this year, July 1 and 2?'"

As it is still uncertain whether Kingtou will possess a fast track this season, the chances of the Limestone City securing the meet are not so rosy as they formerly ap­ peared to be.

It is understood that a very strong bid for the iiftair will be made from the opposite end of the Province, and that garnia, with its en­ thusiastic club and new track, will run a good race for the honor. Already the Snrnia Club has succeeded in raising a guarantee fund of $1/00, of which the citizens have con­ tributed $1400. The tnu'k is a third mile, and as fa«t as any in Canada. W. M. Car­ man, who perhaps has a greater track ex­ perience than any other Canadian racer of the present dar, thinks there is no other path In the Province to equal it in speed. An­ other point in favor ot the Western ton n Is that the local bicyclist! are euthusiastie,

energetic, and arc eager to secure the meet, which, if they do, they wiil leave no stone unturned to make ft hnse success. Sum id's claims demand a fair consideration.

TUB "HKXATOR" ADDKKKSKK THK CLUB.Mr. W. J. Morgan, of the Chicago Ke.feree,

delivered an interesting address bi the mem­ bers of the Sarum Bicycle Club and others in the Police Court room on Wednesday eve­ ning last on the management of hicyclcclubs, race meets and mailers pertaining to bicv- cling generally. Those present were greatly pleased with the able manner in which the gentleman dealt with the subject, and are thankful to him for many valuable pointers which he gave them.

CLEVELAND CHAT.PICKED VP DIKING THK ABSKNXL'E

OF "VERAX."The Cliib'8 "HardTimes" Smoker De­

scribed—The Dayton Fight- Items of Mention.

CLEVELAND, O.. April 4. Editor SPORT- ixc* LIFE: The "hard times" smoker held by the Cleveland Wheel Club on April 4, in the hall adjoining their rooms, was a decided hit.

Bums, tramps and hard-timers in general were in abundance, the total number of tho order of keg-drainers amounting to over forty.

The balance of the club, and, in fact, any­ one wearing a white collar, were uot ad­ mitted to the hall until 10 o'clock, being termed "dudes," and consequently not being allowed to associate with

THK KNIGHTS OF THF. BACK BOOR.The costumes were borli unique and funny,

and the judges composed of the following gentlemen: J. C. Anderson, of Lnkewood, (>.; A.W.Fenton.ofCleveland.and C.Walter Heath, of Philadelphia were almost unable to judge the hardest characters as the ones to which the prizes were to be awarded, but nt last they decided, and C. Walter Heath awarded the first prize to Mr. Joseph Joseph! and second prize KI Mr. J. F. Marshal, the former (the prize, not Mr. Joseph!) being a beautiful L. A. W. pin, with handle bars, and the latter two dozen cakes ot Ivory soap. (A decided reflection).

WHAT THEY DID.The programme was very unique, being

printed on brown paper and set in such shape that it would almost take an expert to read it.

After the awarding of the prizes the club held a mock trial, which was very amusing, the following being the officers; Judge, Wru. Sales; Wm. Spreng and Fred Brant for the defence, I. F. Marshall and Geo. Collier for the prosecution. Mr. Joseph], the prisoner, was tried and found guilty ou fourteen differ­ ent charges.

A very pleasant musicale was afterwards held, the orchestra being composed of six pieces, comprising guitars aiidniandolins,and they rendered a number of very choice selec­ tions.

The affair in general weutoff to perfection, | and the club, pleased with the success, ex­ press their intention of holding them again.

NOTES.C. Walter Heath, representing the Wood-

rufi"& Little Cycle Co., was in Cleveland this week, establishing an agency for their Secure cycles and introducing to the trade the Secure cycle lock that they control and which is having a large sale at present.

THAT CINCINNATI-DA YTON ROW.At present there is considerable wrangling

among wheelmen in Ohio, especially between Cleveland and Cincinnati in reference to the division meet to be held at Dayton this July, the former city (Cleveland) upholding Day­ ton in having the State championship races held during the meet, and the latter (Cin­ cinnati) wanting it themselves.

There is no doubt that Cleveland and Day­ ton are right in wanting the championships held at the latter place, for why should they uot be? This is a point for Cincinnati Wheel­ men to answer.

Ohio in general favors Dayton, and if the wheelmen of Cincinnati look at itin the right spirit they will coincide with the balance of the State.

THK ROAD RACE.The C. W. Club will hold their second an­

nual 23-mile road race starting at F.uclid and Erie avenue and going to Wickliffc and return. A list of valuable prizes, amounting to over $TiOO, headed by a $150 pneumatic safety, will be given.

The above club propose making this one of the-most enjoyable events of the coming sea­ son, and with the prizes that they otter it should be a great inducement for all tbe members to participate.

"ON WITH THE DANCE1."The Cleveland Wheel Club and Lakeside

Cycling Club combined will hold their first dance on April 19, at Ked Cross Rink.

The beautiful banner which now decorates the former club's rooms will be used at al! their dances and also at the Dayton meet.

The Cleveland Lady Cyclists presented the C. W. C. with a most handsome picture, which now adorns the walls of their parlor.

TKAVELEK.

BICYCLES FREE.

How a Chicagoau Secured a Club Presidency.

CHICAGO, April 4. Young Fred Lumb, of 52 South Halsted street, recently organized a bicycle club. He was anxious to be chosen president, but there were other members whose claims tor that honor weie greater and his chances of election were slim. But young Lamb knew something of practical politics. Acting upon that knowledge he agreed to furnish the club with bicycles free provided he was elected president. The claims of the other candidates for the position grew so small that they were lost sight of, and at the next meeting Lnmb went into office with a rush.

About this time the Downing Carriage Company, 2.S5 West Madison street, began to miss bicycles which were placed in front of their store. The facts were reported to the police, who discovered that several wheels had been taken into a shed at the rear ot 86 South Sangnmon street by young Lamb. The lad was arrested aud confessed his guilt, making his promise to furnish the club with bicycles free the excuse for his theft.

A TORONTO "STAG."The Toronto Bicycle Club Entertain

—A Scene From Pickwick.TORONTO, April 2. On Thursday night

the Toronto Bicycle Club held a successful "smoker" and stag party at their club house on Jarvis street. The cosy rooms were crowded to their fullest capacity by the members and their friends. A very attrac­ tive programme had been arranged, which opened by a piano solo by the club pianist, A. Burns, followed by a splendidly-rendered song by S. Martin. E. Ityckrnan cave a re­ citation, which received great applause. The T. B. C. Banjo Club gave a selection. This branch of the club has been in existence for a few weeks only, and certainly did remark­ ably well. A. Lee gave a piano sold in fine style. The first part of the programme w<:s brought to a close by a so;ig by J. Uilu of bin own composition, entitled "The Man With a Rational ou His Hands." The second part of the programme was the trial scene from Pickwick, which was well rendered by the club.

Does This Mean Us?Deadly, dull trade notes absorb moat of the

space in Ameiicnn cycling papers and the Bear­ ing* ia tbe only one in which Iri'hcyclists would be interested. Some of these papers are still dis­ cussing the advantages of nir tyres, and have reached a stage over a year behind tho papers on this side the water. M»h Cycliit.

Tbe BMwell Company are turning oat from their pneumatic tire factory in Wait Sixty- seventh dtreet, New York City, 225 tires daily, an increase of 25 per cent, weekly. Their new Tourist and Student nbeela are now being shown »t their salesrooms in Fifty-ninth street. Tbe former embodies man; special mechanical f.-aturiu.

SIX MILES AN HOUR,PHILADELPHIA WHFELMEX RIDK

TOO FAST.

So Says Councilman McCoacli, amiHe Proposes Regulating

Theii- Speed.The thirty thousand wheelmen of Phila­

delphia will be interested to hear of a propo­ sition to limit them to a horse-car rate over the streets within the city limits. Select CouncihMan McCoach Is honoring them with his attention, and will soon introduce an or­ dinance regulating the speed of the wheels to six miles an hour. He says that the rush of bicycles along the streets paved with asphalt, and their sharp whirling around corners has become such a nuisance and is so dangerous to pedestrians that some legislation on the subject is needed, and he proposes to intro­ duce it.

There are many Instances where rapid riding has r> suited in collision between wheelmen and persons attempting to cross streets, and tnere are no regulations for cyclers. In the park an excellent code of rules has been formulated, and has made the traveliug on wheels safe.

WHAT THE ASSOCIATION WILL DO.

Kirk Brown, chairman of the Wheelmen's Street Improvement Association, doe* not like the idea of being tied down to a horse- car jog, and he thinki thnt Mr. MeCoach's idea has little merit in it. When told of the proposed ordinance hu said: "AH right; then we will have everything in town going at a six-mile rate, for the bicycle Is a car­ riage and no legislation can be directed against it which will not apply to all vehicles."

IB IT OSiT.Y THE UNATTACHED?

He wanted it distinctly understood that all collisions occur with riders who are irre­ sponsible or with boys who do not respect the rights of others, while the members of cycling clubs never have any accidents. Only one accident to pedestrians has ever been charged to a member of a club. They are usually caused by riders who hire wheels aud do not know what courtesy means.

He agreed, however, that for the crowded districts some regulations are needed. "Though," he added, "as a matter of fact, any mishap usually results disastrously to the wheelman and not to the other party.

"We are perfectly willing that any regula­ tions which are reasonable should be adopted, but we shall certainly object to any class legislation. Our organization is a strong one and we will fight anything which is unrea­ sonable. Already we have won cases before eighteen State Supreme Courts in matters of this kind, and in Virginia the Supreme Court decided in our favor against the Legis­ lature. However, the clubmen are gentle­ men, and will be perfectly willing to have any reasonable rules adopted."
