As the parade passed throuch the White House grounds the President, accompanied by three mem- bers of Congress, appeared on the portico and re- Nlewed it, touching his hat to the different clubsas they passed. ‘The line passed through the drive- Way in front of the portico. NOTES ALONG THE LINE, It wanted only afew minutes to 11 o'clock when Dr. Beckwith, followed by Adjutant Bidwell and Staff at the head of the column, wheeled by the Arlington hotel, and countermarched up Vermont avenue to T street. The army bugiers fell in in front, and led the procession from that point. ‘There were 1 men in iine—301 tn frst diviston, 176 An second division, and 76 unattached riders 1m the third division. The sight. was a most Inviting one. Good-looking. sturdy ‘men, clad In becoming unl- forms, and mounted on beautiful machines that flashed in the sunlight, calied forth loud applause from the crowds which lined the sidewalks and lied the windows of residences Everywhere along the line the wheelers were greeted with ap- plause, and the general verdict was that It Was the nest ‘procession that has passed through gir streets for a long time. Occasionally a rider would Ins a pedal or strike an obstruction and go over, Dut he would be mounted again tn less than no UUme, and without breaking the line regain is posl- ton.’ “Such mishaps were, however, very in- frequent. The captains of the different clubs rode at the head of their men, and generally carried thelr flag: colors, many of Which were handsomely embroid- ‘The costumes of the riders exhibited a wide va Hety of style and color and many of them were ex- ‘tremely becoming. ‘The Capital chib made a very handsome show, Which was appreciated by the spectators, Judging from the applause they recelved. They had seventy men tn line, Which is Said to be the largest number from one club that has ever ridden in a procession. ‘The Citizens’ club, of New York, had without doubt the handsomest uniform of the day. It was of adark gray color,and of @ texture particularly fine, The jackets were pleated and had belts. The fy cap, square Lop, Was bound with back and had on U front the silver device of the club— spread wings. Their fine appearance was, however, no more due to thelr uniform than to the personal 004 looks of the riders. Most of the men rode upright machines, but there was a goodly sprinkling of Stars.” ‘Ihe ma- jority of the latter seemed to belong to Washing- ton, which 1s a great place for that kind of machine. The Washington Cycle club did not have a very large representation, but they presented a very handsome appearance. They have been highly complinented for the thorough and able mabner in which they performed the onerous duties incl- dent to the visit of the league to Washington. Prince, the bicyclist, who arrived here yesterday from San Francisco, stated to a Stak reporter this morning that he had just learned that Woodside, Morgan and Higham were here. He wouid like, he ‘sald, to arrange a race for all comers. ir cluding the genUemen named, for the 10nile C.amplonstlp, each man to put up $100, and the race to take place at once in this city. AS the parade came up the north side of the Avenue great difficulty was experienced in turning the corner of 15th street. The police arrangements Were very unsatisfactory, and the spectators as weil asthe riders were indignant that the procession Was not given a better show. Carts and wagons on 15th street obstructed the way, and the drivers Paid no heed to the requests to make way. ALthe corner of 15th street and Pennsylvania avenue tbe Diockade Was 80 great as to practically break up ‘the line, and many a rider bit Uke asphalt ip consequence. ‘The Polo Game This Afternoon. ‘The second game of poloon Star bicycles, be- tween Messrs. Chickering and Finley, of Smith- ville, N. J., and Messra. Robertson and Rex Smith, of the Capital club, of this city, was played at Star park, corner 14th street and New York avenue, to- day, after the jeagu® parade, the best three goals ‘The first goal was won by the Smithville team, the ball being sent through by Finley. The second Was won by the Washington team. ‘The third goal ‘Was won by Smithville. In the fourth goal the ball caught in Smith's big wheel and when he saw {t he rode through the opponents’ goal, but the referee decided it afoul. The fourth goal was won by Washington, making goalseven. “The fifth and deciding goal was won by the Washington. THE CLOSE OF THE BUSINESS SESSION, The ‘annual business session of the L.A. W. at Ford's opera house was concluded yesterday in har- mony.

THE NOCTURNAL PARADE POSTPONED INDEFINITELY. ‘The program for the lantern parade proposed for last evening Was not carried out on agcount of the Tain storm. Thousands of people who assembled along Pennsylvania avenue to witness what was expected to be a very brilllant sight were driven to shelter by the storm.
