Naw Haxan R,ovole Club.

Bicycle riding is getting to be novelty, | and bicycle racing much more so. The in- | tersst that is beginning to be awakened in | the breast of the American public in this | sport shows that it is likely to be in the near future formidable rival to horse racing.
 The New Haven Bicycle club have an- nounced their intention to hold their fall race and State bicycle tournament at Hamil- ton Park Wednesday, October 10th, and we see by their programme that they intend to hold bicycle and tricycle. races under tricycle. race for lady riders. They will also have
 club drills and fancy riding at the New Ha-
 ven skating rink in the evening. Doubtless
 the novelty of the contests and the reputa-
 tion of the club will insure them large
 attendance at both events.
 The New Haven Bicycle club has issued
 neat eight page paper, The Herald, printed at
 o. A. Dorman's. It is very creditable to the
 club. The editor is w. H. Hale; business
 manager, F. H. Benton; secretary and treas
 urer, W. H. Thomas.
