A large number of people gathered
on our streets last night'to witness the
lantern parade of our Wheel club and
visiting bicyclists. As it rained hard
in places from which visitors were ex-
pected the attendance from out of town
was not large, and those who did come
did not bring their wheels with them.
All the wheels in the parade were be-
dizened with small flags, Chinese lan-
terns, etc., and as the procession
moved down Washington street the
effect was very pleasing to the eye.
The line of march as published was
rode over, when all returned to the
Wheel club’s hall where a fine collation
was served. But for the rain the affair
would have been a brilliant success.
There were about 100 bicycles in the
procession.

My point is this. I put my

th'e‘faet is 50 cents I. don’t

Isn’t it a pity that an adver—

I am not complaining of

needs, 'in order to avail of our large assortment.
“Most carefully selected,” just expresses it. The
reason our Parasol trade is SO large is wholly a
result of our care in selecting only the choicest
and most) attractive patterns, which we then
exblusively control for the Norwalk market.
