THE ALUMNI JOURNAL.

feet, to occupy as much space as the article 

 complained of. He complimented the Alumni 

 Association on the success of the Alumni 

 Journal under its present management, and 

 said it was a credit to the college. 



The proceedings were brought to a close by 

 an inspection of the laboratories and working 

 rooms of the building. The routine woik of 

 the several departments was fully explained to 

 juniors by a committee of the senior class under 

 the direction of the head of the department to 

 which they happened to be introduced. This 

 terminated the ceremonies of the evening. —

The success of the century run ou November 

 i8th, was unfortunately marred by inclement 

 weather, in fact the months' schedule suffered 

 materially from this cause, but enough interest 

 exists among the members to make a run seem 

 alwavs possible. For instance the century, 

 Sunday morning, 7 a.m., found some of the en- 

 thusiastic members assembled at the College, 

 though a more disagreeable morning could not 

 have been selected; cold, rainy, raw, in fact a 

 typical "pneumonia morning." 



The small party set oflF, in spirits that hardly 

 could be called high. At the 23d street ferry, 

 on both sides, re-inforcements were found, and 

 led by Mr. E. Dixon Williams of the Century 

 Wheelmen, who kindly volunteered to pace, 

 our wheeling representatives spun along Bed- 

 ford avenue to the Eastern Parkway, over to 

 the "Merrick," where Mr. Williams increased 

 the pace ; short stops were made at Sprinfield 

 and Freeport, the division arriving at the Cort- 

 landt House, Bayshore (50 m. ) at i p.m., where 

 dinner was served. 



After a good repast and rest, the return start 



was made at 2:40 p. m. Again Mr. Williams 



services were "brought into play," and at a 15 



mile clip, the journey home was pleasant and 



interesting; arriving at the College at 8:50 the 



run was made in a trifle over 13 hours, which 



was considered exceedingly good, under the 



circumstances. Thus ended the Srst century 



run of the N. Y. C. P. Cyclers, which but for 



the weather would have been better patronized. 



The survivors, who are now wearing medals, 



were L. G. B. Erb, '94; Charles Stoerzer, '94; 



Samuel Cohen, '94; A. C. Riegel, '96; and E. 



Dixon Williams; other participants were W. A. 



Hoburg, '93; Louis Marcus, '94: C. R. H. Ger- 



ken, '96; and Russell Marsh. SCORCHER.
