GREAT INTEREST FELT BY ARMY OFFICERS IN THE NEW ORGANIZATION—THE FIRST OF TRE KIND IN AMERICA—PROFICIENCY ATTAINED BY THE EXPERIMENTAL BODY—ROSTER OF THE COM- MAND—THE PARADE ON THE AVENUE. ‘The Washington Military Cycle Company's appearance on Pennsylvania avenue this morn- ing was awaited with much interest by the sev- eral thousand spectators who lined the side- walksfrom the Peace monument to Washing- ton Circle. It was the first parade of the com- pany and it made a creditable showing. Although the company is not yet six monthe old it had more than thirty equipped men in line ready for war, and they glided over the smooth concrete pavements on their silent steeds clearing the streets of pedestrians as they moved along. It remains for this, the first company in the United States, to make the experiment a sne- cess tohave the cycle adopted for use in the militia organizations in all parts of the country, and probably in time by the standing army. The line formed at 10:30 o'clock in front of the company’s headquarters, corner of 17th street and Pennsylvania avenue. After going through several maneuvers the mount was made without @ break, and the procession moved slong Pennsylvania avenue to the Peace monument at the foot of the Cupitol. A counter-march was made to 25th street, and after passing around the several circles and parks in the northwestern part of the city the cyclists returned to the armory. An hour later they were off on their iron horses again and rode to Benning to be present at the field sports of the President’s Troop. Buglar Lemby sounded his trumpet along the line with such effect that the streets were cleared and the parade was made without in- terruption. Quartermaster Sergeant Ben Wall acted as color sergeant and carried the hand- some silk banner of the corps. Sergeant Guy Collins attracted more attention than any mem- ber of the company. He oceupied a con- spicuous place in line and rode the handsome war bieyele which was presented to the corps by the Columbia Wheel Company. Hix gun was at- tached to straps on the wheel, where the guns are expected to be carried in war times, and to his steed were attached two luggage carriers as well a a bullseye lan- tern of the best pattern, the only one of the kind that is on any wheel in this city. Gen. Ordway was at headquarters to see the start, and he was well pleased with the showing made on the first parade. ‘There 1s admirable material in the command, the members al! being young and enthusiastic wheelmen, and they have the direct and hearty support of Gen. Ordway. Adjutant General Long, too, takes an active interest in the company eycle tactics, which will be issuod shortly, are the result of the labors of Col. Long, Capt, Chas. H. Ourand and Capt. F. B. Couch. The company was pecially fortunate in its selection of officers. apt. Frank B. Couch isa native of Bethel, Conn. "He was born in 1866. He enlisted in company B, fourth regiment Connecticut Na- tional Guard, was promoted’ to corporal, then to sergeant and served five years afterward. When he re-enlisted he was “transferred and given command of the fourth signal corps, in which he served two years, when he decided to take up his residence in the capital city. Capt. Couch was one of the first to join the new com- pany after its organization and was honored wil its command. First Lieut. W. Allen Balch bas had several yeurs’ experience in local militia companies, having at one time served in the National Fen- cibles. He is a native of the windy city, but has spent most of his twenty-four years in Washington. A prominent member of the Columbia ‘Cycle Club, he has always taken an interest in cycling and was one of the organizers of the cycle com- pany. To Second Lieut. F. P. Libbey is due a great deal of credit for the bringing together of the men who were the organizer. Lieut. Libbey is employed in a position where he meets a large number of wheelmen and be was enabled to bring together a sufficient number for the start- ing of the present organization, Although not having any past military experience, Lieut. Libbey makes up for it in enthusiasm, ‘The non-commissioned officers are all en- thusiasts and perhaps the more conspicuously energetic is “Quartermaster Sergeant Benj. Wall. ‘THE MEMBERSHIP.

The Birthday Club, a new social attraction in Washington, held its first meeting on Saturday night at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Croffut, 140 B street northeast, to celebrate the birth of Emerson, Dante and Tom Moore. The princi- pal speaker was Dr. W. T. Harris, commissioner of education, who delivered in clear and_forci- bie language the result of his study of Emer- son's poetry, and revealed to his listeners spiritual beauty in various selections from poems. Prof. Elmer 3. Reynolds offered some suggestions as to the wide range of thought to be traversed by the student of Dante, and Major Powell made a few ‘remarks upon both of the great writers. Mr. Croffut described the intent of the club after a negative fashion, viz., that it was to consist of no members, no officers, no fees and no refreshments, and yet it expected to live on by some mysterious means. Musicfrom Tom Moore's songs by Messrs. Harry Brandon, Al Fennell and Wagner enlivened the evening from time to time. There were about seventy- five guests of literary taste present, among whom were Commissioner and Mrs.’ Lyman, Dr. J. McBride Sterritt, Mrs. Sara_B.
