Fully 200 wheelmen were on the roads, taking advantage of the fine conditions, many of them being ladies, and the distances covered ranged between five and 100 miles. The road houses and country taverns dida good business feeding the wheelmen, and at more than one place roast ‘possum and sweet Potatoes were served, while at other places wild game and tame fowl furnished the princt- | Pal dish. On the Conduft road there was the usual large number of cyclists, as there was on | roads leading through other sections of the Very few wheelmen | went across the river on account of the few roud« that are in condition. Wedne-day evening, the principal time dur- ing the week for eyeling, was such an unpleasant one that the club runs had to be abandoned and indoor amusements took their place. BREAKING RECORDS. Record breaking has been indulged in to some extent during the past seasou and there is a record on alinost every road about the city. ‘The last record was made by Mr. J. C.

CAPITAL BICYCLE CLUB. Last Saturday evening the club house of the Capital Bicycle Club was the sceneof an inter- esting whist tournament, in which only mem- bers of the club participated. It was noarly midnight when the tournament was brought to a close, and that explains why the Sunday morning run was not largely attended. Capt. Macdaniel and Dr. William Wirt were the only members who were on hand Sunday morning, but they did not abandon the run because of numbers. They left the house of the club about 10 o'clock and started for one of the numerous of worship known as “Gen. Washington's Church.” This particular church is located in Princo George's county and is known as the Broad Creek Church. The wheeimen rode through East Washington and ascended the insane asylum hill without any trouble. For a short distance the road was good, but it soon played out, and the two cyclists left it for the foot paths through the swamps. Here they came acrossa hare and some hounds, and on their wheels they joined in the chase and did not leave until the hare was put ona fair road tothe dinner table of one of the natives. After finishing the hare chase the wheelmen rode across the country aud finally reached the church, which was originally constructed with English brick, and in the church yard were numerous tombstones of ancient date, some of them dating back to the time when Gen.

A bet- | ter day for such a long run could not have been selected and the event proved the most inter. in the history of the club. The club ttended and Capt. Newman has ar- ranged a schedule of rans for the remainder of the month as follows: November 13, Falls Church, 9 a.m.; November 20, Cabin John Bridge, 2:30 p.m.; November 24, Great Falis, 9:30 a.m. ; November 27, Takoma Park, 2:80 p.m. ARLINGTON WHEELMEN. The Arlington wheelmen made a century last, Sunday. There were only throe members of the club on the run. They wore Messrs. Potts, Clapp and Hutchings, and with them was Clar- ence Palmer of the ‘Crescent Century Wheel- men. COLUMBIA CYCLE CLUB. The Columbia Cycle Club, under the presi- dency of Mr.'Samuel Stinemetz, has been put ona better fiaancial footing and during the port two months « number of new members e been added to the membership rgll. ‘Tho dato of electicn of officers of the club has been changed from June 6 to December 31. At the last meeting ¢f the club several standing com- mittees were appointed, as follows: House com- mittee, Messrs. Humphrey, Suyder and McCal- mont; admissions, Sayder, Dorsey and Wiggins. A committee on nominations was appointed, as follows: Meswrs. Shuefer, King, Bowie, Woc dridge and Munroe. A committee wae also aj- pointed to arrunge for a the latter part of thie month, which is to be the first of a series of indoor entertainments for the winter season. Capt. H. J. Southwick bas resigned the captaincy of the club and his su cessor will be chosen next month. A big run and oyster roast is being arranged for Thanksgiving and some place on the Con- duit road will probabiy be selected as the place | for the roust. Arrangements for a pool tourna- ment are now being perfected. The tournament held last year proved big success, Mr. C. P. Goodacre winning the handsome ‘gold medal and the clab championship, but from the way Wooldridge is improving he will give Goodacre a hard tussle this year.

THE MOVEMENT YOR GOOD ROADS. The first meeting of the executive committee of the national league for good roads was held several days ago. ‘Those present were Col. Chas. L. Burcett, Roy Stone, Wm. H.

At the recent meeting of the committee « letter was read from the governor of Rhode Island accepting the office of local vice president for his state of the temporary organizaticn; from the governor of South Carolina that he had appointed the Hoi son of Asheville, and one from the governor Pounsylvania suggesting the Hon. Gerard Brown of Yorkana for like pcsitions in these ng Richard Pear- states.

It is questionable in- deed if the ball bearing, improved us it he: been by modern appliances, cannot be used to advantage on almost any kind of wheeled vebi- cle from a railroad coach to a baby carriage. Intelligent mon in the carriage trade, and there area great many of them, are watching with inter- est the development of the tire and ball bearing industries, and there promises to be something of a revolution in the near future in the fitting of wheels for pleasure carriages. Seasickness. From the London Lancet. Most of those who have experienced the mixeries of sensickness, however they might differ 12 minor details of statement, would agree in ascribing this most dispiritiug malady to one main cause—the motion of the ship. In so far the whole medical faculty would concur | in their decision. ‘This, then. ia the central fact Which confers upon the'disorder its unique po- sition. Itis really not a pathological, but a physiological, disturbance. It connection with dyepepsia Tho robust and | healthy, by a strange contradiction, suffer from | it for the time hardly less than the weak and il Its variations of intensity are felt to be counterparts of mere bodily oscillation, Some find relief from it in change- of posture, others in active occupation, all more or less when their storm-toased Vessel sails under the lee of land. Custom and use commonly secure immuuit; These are cireamstances which one | and all point to mechanical causation ag the source of the discomfort. It is the unaccus- tomed rise and fall, tho jerk and relaxation of loosely attached abdominal viscera, mainly perhaps, but not alone, of the stomach, acting upon the central nervous connections, whic must bear the brunt of accusation. It foilo that successful treatment cannot be guaran- teed by any one method or panacea. ftecum- bency, pure deck air, moderately firm band- ‘aging of the body are all useful. Drugs have but. as we have already suggested, there is no remedy equal to a lec shore, Nothing can be much more depressing than seasickness, and for thi Teuson we should strongly advise ail weak per- sons not to encounter, if possible, the risk of ite occurrence. It is astonishing how soon and how completely those who are favored with a fair measure of constitutional elasticity recover from its depression. Iu their case the benefits of sen trip may thus, with co:mpentations of air, diet and appetite, be even enhanced by a few hours of mechanical nausea. It is, in truth, for auch persons only thet tours of this kind are advisable. ———_+e+—____ Lifting the Hat. From the Detroit F: Press. ‘The custom of lifting the hat hed its origin during the age of chivalry, when it was cus- tomary for knights never to appear in public except in fall armor. It became a custom, how- ever, for alnight upon entering an assembly of friends to remove his helmet, signifying, “I am safe in the prosence of friends.” ‘Tho age of chivalry passed away with the fifteenth century, bat among the many acts of courtesy which ean be back to its influence none is more direct in its ‘than that of lift ing the hat to acknow the presence of « juggestion for Top of Door or Window.
