Every rider is reqnested to decorata bis wheel either with the oolors of nis bicycle olub, if belongs to one, or with b-ia class colors, if he does not. Each section of the parade will have its yell, and will be led by a commander chosen by the committee in charge. Ladies especially are invited to take part in the parade and a position in it will be assigned directly for theru alone. The committee who have charge of the parade are Dr. Fitzgerald, Dr. Mosher, and Messrs. McAllaster, Richards and Weinstein, and they are working hard to make it a suocess. The committee desires it to be distinctly understood that there will be no cost wbatever to those takiug part in the parade. No subscriptions will be asked for. It is absolutely free.
