The chal- lenge was accepted by Chase, but there 1s something behind his acceptance. It is stat- ed that the Englishman is backed by a syn- dicate of his countrymen, who have an un- limited amount of capital.

He was a crack rider of England until this season, when he de- cided to remain in America, and took out his naturalization papers. He has been de- feated but a few times, while, on the other hand, his victorfes are many. This year he has succeeded in establishing many rec- ords, while last season he held world’s rec- ords for two,three, four, five and ten miles. In addition to these he held the profes- for some extra hilly road in poor on.

There is no telling when the weather will turn, and the morning may be splen- did enough to tempt the cyclist on an all day spin, while at noon there may be a high wind, and before dark a rainstorm is apt to set In. These uncertainties increase as the year closes. For the past two years Thanksgiving day has been an ideal one fer road racing, and it is to be hoved that this year will be no exception. A guess at the weather places the conditiors clear and ¢old. It is likely that one or two road races will be held, but they will be simply club events, and not open to all riders. So far as club life is concerned all in- terest is row centered practically in in- door events. Very little road riding will be done by schedule, though whenever a clear day presents iteelf, Sunday particu- larly, it is likely that some ride will be made. The indoor winter program, how- ever, can be relied upon much better than the outdoor riding, at this season of the year, and the riders seem to appreciate this fact. Several of the clubs have planned for public dances during the sea- son, while others are making arrangements for smokers and other ‘nieresting events to the cycling fraternity in general. No one knows how to enjoy such better than a rider. Levant Wheelmen. The much-talked-of twenty-mile team road race of the Levant Wheelmen was pulled off last Sunday. The course was over the Bowen read from its intersection with the Suitland road to Centreville, Md., and return. Each team scored an equal number of points, but as both William Brearley and Lee Herrell, who finished first and second, respectively, were on Lieuterant Norris’ team, that side, after a conference of the judges, was deciared winner. At the euchre party held last Wednesday evening Mr. Webb Lindsey captured the prize, a silver match safe, donated by Mr. Lew Callisher. - Charles Grace, one of the most popular members of the club, met with a painful accident Sunday morning. He fell from his wheel while ridi.g along Pennsylvania avenue southeast. Though not seriously hurt he is badly scratched up, and it will be several days before his friends will be able to recognize him. The amusement committee has provided for another card party on Monday even- ing, at which gcod prizes will be offered. The temperance members of the club are gaining strength every week, ‘and it is expected that before long will have every member of the club in the ranks wearing the white ribbon. Arrangements are con- templated for another general meeting of the advocates of general reform some time early next month. Alpha Cycle Club. The members of the Alpha Cycle Club perfected arrangements during the week for turning the organization into a euchre club for the winter. The first meeting was held Monday evening at the residence of Miss Mollie Rolles, 2021 I street, at which ten couples were present. After several hours of playing refreshments were served and the evening wound up. The ladies’ first prize was won by Miss Edith Overand, while Mi: Barbara Mill- rick secured the consolation prize. After playing a tie, the gentlemen's first prize Ww: won by Mr. Joseph Berberick, with Mr. Voyle securing the conzolation. The next meeting of the club will be held Mon- day, November 29, at the residence of Miss Ella Brown, 2011 H street northwest. Among those present were Miss Mollie Rolles, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Sherwood, Miss Browne, Miss Rainey, Miss Millrick, Miss Missner, Miss Facer, Miss Redding. Miss Overand, Miss Teste, Messrs. Ber- berick, Voyle, Wissner, Bauby, Bowie, Craig and Brick. Rialto Cycle Club. The Rialto Cycle Club members wept on a straw ride Thursday evening, starting from the residence of Mrs. Scott at 8 o'clock in the evening. The destination was to have been Cabin John bridge, but owing to the fact that the Canal road is closed pending improvements, the jour- ney was made out 35th street, with the in- tention of going out via the New Cut road Another change in the plan was made at this poMt, and the ride was continued out to Tenleytown, across to Chevy Chase, and thence into town via Connecticut avenue extended. Again in the city the party ad- urned to a well-known resort and were erved an excellent oyster feast. 4nere sixteen members present, and the af- ‘as greatly enjoyed by all. lady members have kindly volun- in the club at their res lay evenings during the The teered to ente dences on Wedne winter. lub will probably give a dance on r’s eve, that being the calculation majority of members. Noa mene ft sunny the members will attend a basket ball game, which will be held at Carroll Institute Hall. The club is in a very flourishing condi- tion, and the prospects for a successful social season are excellent. Miles Cycle Infantry. The scene of the smoker of the Miles Cycle Infantry has been changed from the national guard armory to the residence of Sergt. W. B. Jackson, on Tennessee avenue northeast. The affair will be held this evening. The change of place was due to the fact that there are no facilities at the armory for an oyster roast and smoker, such 2s it is proposed to give. Arrange. ments have been made for the handling of a large crowd of guests. The program for the occasion is of first-cl: order, and of a musical and Hterary nature, especially adapted for stag events. During the week honorable discharges were granted to Private W. K. Kerwin and Private Leonard W. Munson. The. dis- charges were granted upon the application of the privates, and take effect from No- vember 17. pital Bi. Club. Fourteen members of the Capital Bi. Club took a country run last Sunday morning, and enjoyed a huge time. The trip started out with a sort of city run, and thence out the Canal road to the Chain bridge, up to Lewinsville, across to Falls Church and vicinity, and back into town via the Long bridge. The back roads of Virginia were taken and were found to be in splendid con- dition. The highways have evidently been recently repaired, and all of the riders were surprised with the good condition of riding. Once or twice the riders got lost in the wilds of that section of the state, but they were able to find their way out without asking aid.. The riders were looking for persimmons, and they found some, but the quality was not near as good as was ex- pected, and none were brought home with them. The entire lot of cyclists reached home in time for dinner. If the weather tomorrow is favorable another cross-country ride will be taken to another section. The first game of a series of whist was played during the week, the series to con- sist of four games. Messrs. John Wirt and Harry Willard, east and west, and Alex. Britton and Charles Barrick, north and aguth, were the winners of the first event. e other games of the series will be play- ed later. The first musicale of the club for this season was held last evening at the club house. The members and their friends turned out in full force to enjoy a fine program presented under the auspices of the amusement committee. Arlington Wheelmen. The annual club handicap road race of the Arlington Wheelmen will be held next Thursday forenoon on the Conduit road. The distance will be for ten miles, and the course will be as follows: Start at spring near Glen Echo, to Anglers’ Club House and return to Cabin John bridge. Nearly all of the club members are expected to enter. The-handicapping will be performed by Dr. B. F. Larcombe. On account of the century road race of the club today no run be taken to- morrow by the club. x Cross-Country Cycle Club, A well-attended meeting of the Cross- Country Cycle Club was held Tuesday even- ing at the residence of Dr. Charles I, West. The annual election of officers took place, resulting as follows: President, ‘Charles I. West, M.D.; vice president, Charles 8.

Rose Murphy, 626 Callan st. ne.: “That people who neglect what appears to be a simple cold will eventually pay dearly for that neglect, I know by experience. My trouble began just that way five years ago. I coughed more or less all winter, and when the warm weather of spring snd summer came the cough ceased, and I thought I was all right. “But the return of cold weather in the fall brought back the cough, harder and more frequent | .

It disturbed me at night. Every morning as soon as I got up it would start, end I would raise a great deal of phlegm—terrible quantities of it. The cough grew worse steadily, and finally Resulted in a Hemorrhage. “I was sitting reading one day, coughing as usual, when up came mouthfuls of blood. It weakened me terribly, and I was sick for weeks afterward. I had a pain in my side from the constant coughing. and such a soreness between my shoulders that it was difficult to raise myself from the pillows. I had no appetite and lost flesh. “T had no strength at all, and it was an effort for me to go up or down stairs. I cannot epeak too highly of the benefit I have recelyed from Doctors McCoy and Cowden. My appetite and strength have returned; there has been no more hemorrhage, and that awful cough that troubled me mornings has stopped.” $3 A MONTH.

At this occasion the newly elected offi- cers will be installed in office. Dr. War- field of Freedmen’s Hospital was elected to membership. At no time since the club's existence has so much interest been shown in its affairs is now apparent. Although the riding season is practically over, no club runs be- ing now scheduled, the enthusiasm hich resulted from the success of the race meet recently held by the club is still on the in- crease, and all efforts this winter will in- directly have bearing upon the club's inten- tions concerning next season. The hunting centingent is enjoying much sport these days. Booker and Clark seem to be the best “class A” men. Lee and prooks have yet a chance to show some game. Dr. West is anxious io join the boys, but professional dutics prevent. If “rarebits” be counted, the club handicapper might figure as a “class A” man. One of the members of the club's crescent team shows a decided preference for the roads adjacent to Baltimore. ———_— J.
