Sixteen members of the Capital Bi. Club responded to a call for a run to

Brookeville last Sunday, an Capt. Wirt set a hot weather pace, which made

the trip an easy one, an consequently enjoyable, as all of the trips of

this club are made.  The wheelmen found the road in goo condition, but the

weather was worm enough to make them take to the shay side of the road to

get out of the sun, although the light summer hats of the club afford

ventilation an protection from the sun's rays.



Accidents and collapsed tires did not figure in this particular trip, and

there was nothing to cause a delay.  When Brookville was reached the

wheelmen soon found themselves in good luck.  They had made arrangements

to stop at Mrs. Miller's for dinner, and so had another party, but the

other party did not appear, and so Mrs. Miller assigned to them the task

of clearing the table, which they could not do, only for the reason that

Mrs. Miller is a good provider and there was enough food on the table to

have fed the members of several clubs.



A day in the country was enjoyed by the wheelmen and the start home was

not made until late in the afternoon.  But on the way home the storm

clouds appeared an there was a lively scorch down the road for home.  The

wheelmen succeeded in keeping clear of the clouds and perspiration was the

only cause of the dampness felt by the riders after they returned home.



Tomorrow a longer journey will be made, Capt. Wirt having called a run for

Relay station on the Baltimore an Ohio railroad a short distance this side

of Baltimore.
