ENJOYING HIMSELF AFTER THE JOURNEY.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Stevens took a spin through Golden Gate Park with a party of local wheelmen. The smooth paths were delightful after so much rough work, and Mr. Stevens expressed himself as quite at home, as he had ridden toward the beach quite often preparatory to making his start from here in 1884. The wheel on which the famous journey was accomplished was an object of veneration almost to the enthusiasts who have made Mr. Stevens their guest. Every patch seemed to have a history, and every scar on the nickel plate of the frame was suspected of being a volume of adventure, and the owner laughingly admitted that his faithful machine was a pretty well stocked notebook.
