They will therefore start at 12 o'clock Wednesday morning, New Year's day, and hope to have the ride completed about the time most people will be arising for breakfast, for a century is hardly worthy of the name if it is not comvleted within seven hours. The roads are not in the best of condition, however, and the trip will be a hard one on the men. The National assembly of tiie League of American Wheelmén will be held in Bal- timore next.

Ferris Hartmann took advantage of the occasion to get off a number of jokes at the expense of the cyclers, which were thoroughly en- joycd, and the club members helped to make the evening enjoyable with their own antics. Between the wheelmen and the opera the audience at the Tivoli last night must have had a merry time.
