E. H. Fowler, Ben. Hanna, Ben, Wilkins, and Chas. Neale. They lett the city at quarter Past 9 o'clock Saturday morning, the objective point being Fen Mar. ‘They took’ the Mechantcs- ville road. During the morning they foraged through a peach orchard and greauly changed the aspect of things. The farmer happened to be pres- ent and gave his consent. ‘Their first stop was at the farm house of Mr. Higgins, seventeen miles out, where they had dinner. At’ 1:30 o'clock they took the road agato aud pushed on through Me- chanicsville, Laytonsville, and Damascus, to New- market, where they struck the Baltimore and Frederick pike, ‘so loved by wheelmen. They ended their first day’s run at Frederick, which they reached a little after 6 o'clock. ‘The road all the way from Washington to Frederick was good, except the stretch’ from Mechanicsvilie td Damascus. After a night's rest they took the ‘wheel again at ¥ o'clock Sun- day morning and started for Pen Mar, by May of Lewiston, Catoctin Furnace and “iechan- festbwa. At Mechanicstown, 15 willes from Frede- Tick, they arrived at 11:30 and stopped for lunch. ‘Then they pushed on through the mountains to Deeriield station, Here they were taformed by the chief man of the community that no bicycle had ever been there before. ‘This is off the wheelmen’s usual route. They were informed that Pen Mar Was 3 umllesand @ half away, over a road that, to use the expression of one of ie wheelmen, “Went Straight up in the air.” ‘Takiug the left hand fork oftne road from Deerneld they went round ana round the mountain, and, after traveling about 8 miles, reached Pen ‘Mar ‘about 3 o'clock, and took dinner at the Blue Mountain House. ir. Hanna had had asevere fail trom bis wheel on a rough mountain road, and it was decided that he and Mr, Fowler would stay at the hotel over night, comi home by train in the morning. Messrs. Neale ani Wiluls, however, conceived tue idea of riding that nigntto Marunsburg and catching a night train home on the Baitimore and Ohio. So not, satisiied with tuelr 50 ile ride that day, they leit the Blue Mountain House at 5 o'clock, wheeled to Waynesboro, Pa., and thence to Hagerstown, ar- riving ut ae latier place avout 7 p.m. The next town to make was Williamsport—but they never made it, One of the Wueelmen was sure he knew the road, and they went spluning over the coun- Uy in the cool night very gay. after a while, when they supposed they were ‘nearing Williams- Port, they began to make inquiries, and found they had gone in a wroug direction.’ ‘They were tired ana hungry, but th:y, like good wueetmen, did not swear, but hunted jor soiething to eat, Having found this ata farm house, they secured loagings for the night. ‘The next ‘moraing they Went Wa neighboring railroad station, pagked their wheels into a baggage car, and cam» hohe, ‘The trip was full of pleasure. ‘ihe route selected assed ¢ hrough a region rich in natural beauties, —-—__ An Expert Swi HOW THE SECKETARY OF THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE ‘COMMISSION DISFORTS HIMSELF IN THE WATER.

Wheat is higher and market active for ail arrivals, Tue market for bran and middlings isactive and firm. Receipts of hay continue hbe- Tal and market lowes. No new features developed iu butier market during pust week. Continued free receipts give Duyers tue advantage of close selections, of Which Chey take full udvautage, thus causing a very slow demand for goods showulg the Sligutest fault in quality. A liberal shading in price 1s necessary on all such; while the rauitiess: quality stock 1s ‘comparatively ready sale, Extra, care, and more frequent shipments, are required durihg tue heated season. Receipts of eggs equal Ww deiand, and market steady at quotations. “De- mand for poultry good at increased quotations, and ail arrivals are readily placed. All kinds ot vege- Yabies in ample supply aud generally low in price. All green fruits in gvod demand. A Far Tum Of Hood's Sarsaparilia will convince any reasonable person that it does possess great medicinal merit, We do not claim that every bottle will accomplish » mira- ele, but we do kuow that nearly every bottle, taken ac- conding to directions, docs produce positive benefit. Its peculiar curative power is shown by many remark- able cures, “I was run down from close application to work, but was told Ihad malaria and was dosed with quinine, etc., which was useless. I decided to take Hood's ‘Sareaparills, and am now feeling strong and cheerful, 1 feol satufied it will benefit any who give it a fair trial.” W. B Beasis#, 261 Spring street, New York city.
