ACCIDENT TO A BICYCLIST. ... The Stonrbriclge
Excelsior Bicycle Club went out to Wolverhampton
on Saturday to take part in the grand meet of
cyclists there, and when within &rout 200 yards of
their de,tination one of the members (Mr. Arthur
Addison) lest control of his machine while going
down a bill, and he felt and sustained most serious
iiiu tee to the face and wrist. Mr. James Warr, a
member of the St, John's Ambulance Association,
as well as of the bicycle club, had appliances with
h in suited for an emergency of the kind, and he
dressed the wounds, which, if immediate assistance
had not been rendered, might hive lied serieus con-
sequesces from less o'f blood. The injured member
was afterwards'taken to the surgery of Dr. Winter,
who sewed up the wounds and applied splints to his
wrist. This is only one of several instances in
which the knowledge gained at the ambulance
classes has been turned to good account. The local
cyclists numbered 15, and were presented aith a
chased silver bugle.
