The scorchers have been overhauled, and made to appear in the Police Court, and this harm inflicted through the medium of the pocket book has had a salutary ef- fect. Now the members of the squad are dreaded by the scorchers, who fail to rec- ognize them at a distance, and having no other way of identifying them are kept in check the entire time they ride in the city. This is not only good for the pedestrians. but also for the other cyclists, who keep within the law, the moderated speed les- sening the liability of @ collision. count of the large number of new riders the conservative cyclist is forced to mod- erate his speed considerably for his own protection, to prevent accidents at street corners and elsewhere. The bicycle police have done much good in this direction, but there is an ee of work left for thom to do as yet. The task has only been pegun. Naturally our offerings are in The men in chasing bicyclists meet with & variety of adventure, some bordering on the humerous. Two athletic men were Scorching up the avenue the other evening when one of thes squad struck their trail. He overhauled the rear of the two scorch- ers and laid his hand on his shoulder. “Going a pretty good clip, weren't you™ interrogated the policeman. “I don't know if it’s any of your —— bus iness,” was the response of the rider, who did not know the policeman. “I guess you had better come with me,” Officer's resi “I don’t think I will,” was the reply. The rider did not know what the man was, but the idea flashed through his nfind that it was a daft cyclist, and he began to push harder on the pedals. The grip on his shoulder tightened, and was holding the rider back. The result was that the two Wheels collided and both riders went down. The whole thing happened in a few mo- ments, and by this time the companion of the rider had reached the scene, thinking that his partner was in trouble. “What's the matter, Bill?’ asked the companion. “This blankety blank fool, grabbed hold of me and threw me,” was the response. The companion was getting ready to de- liver a straight blow at the face of the prostrate policeman, who was still on the ground with the other rider. The police- man managed to throw his coat aside and show his badge. This had a big effect. it quieted both men at once, and hey went to the station house with him without eny resistance. In the Police Court the next morning they paid a fine. Specials in Boys’ Fur= nishings. We've got a department here that lacks nothing of being complete.

There were a group of several colored riders talking over the arrest of one of their number for scorching. The prisoner had only borrowed the wheel from a friend for a short time, and was engaged in the meritorious performance of covering as many miles within the allotted time as it was possible. He wanted to crowd ten minutes of riding into five minutes. In- cidentally, it might be added, that a good many of the colored riders who come with- in the tolls come simply from this cause They feel like a bird on a bicycle, and en- deavor to skim over the ground like cne, often to their sorrow. The prisoner, it seems, had been melting the asphalt on Pennsylvania avenue: yet when overhauled by the policeman after a chase of nearly a mile, innocently replied that he did not think he was going fast. The congregation of his friends was for the purpose of raising sufficient collateral to get the unfortunate out of the station house, and, incidentally, gossip over the arrest. “Dat policeman,” said one, “war a fool. Dat man warn’t violatin’ enny of de cy- cling reg’lashuns.

It is seldom that a cyclist outwits one of the squad. Once such a thing was com- mon, but it is not the case now. Now and then it happens that a culprit escapes.

The scorcher was sighted on a back street, and he spied the member of the squad about the same time. He did not attempt to sprint to get away, as Is the case with most riders. On the contrary, he appeared to slacken his speed, and waited until the bicycle policeman got within a few hundred feet of htm. Then he humped himself, and the chase began. The policeman counted on playing the man out in @ short time, but for once his calculations went wrong. The rider was pretty swift, too much so for the poltceman, and every now and then he would turn back, as if to maintain the distance and see if the policeman was following him. He appeared to be anxtous for the cop to keep the chase up, and every now and then shouted back to encourage the pursuer. The policeman began to play out, but the rider did not even seem to be tired in the least. Up and down hill the chase continued, around street corners and avenues, over asphalt and granite blocks, and yet the distance between the two was about the same as at the start. The rider took the policeman over t Anacostia bridge, and then by way of v riation followed the road to the Pennsyl- vania avenue bridge, and back into the city again. Only once did the policeman halt. He was tired, and got off his wheel, de- termined to give up the chase. The rider, seeing this, and judging the state of af- fairs, did likewise, and walked back to within a suitable distance, began taunting the member of the squad, telling him what he did not know about riding would fill a A lot of Boys’ and Youths’ Black and Rus- sia Calf Lace Dress Shoes, in the latest sha) ~The $2.25 Shoes elsewhere—for tomorrow. $1.98 Another Sacrifice of Ladies’ Man-, tailored Wool Suits.
