Our genial brother Journalist of the
Register is caught mapping once more. The
banquet which it announced as hav-
ing been held by the Austin bar at the
Mansfield House, complimentary to w. H.
Merrick, did not come of, by reason of the
absence of the legal brother from the city.
1t was another proof of the old saying.
''There's many slip betwixt the cup and
the lip" Our brethren of the legal persua-
sion hope to yet render their verdict on a
good supper, when Mr.. Merrick can make
it convenient to return, as he expects soon
to do, to close up some unfinished business.
Monday our city was visited by
several experts in bicycle riding: E. A.
Loyhed and Mr.. Pratt, of Faribault.
Both were fine riders, on the columbia
Expert" bicycle, especially Mr.. Pratt,
whose riding elected the hearty COM
mendation of all who witnessed his grace
full and matchless evolutions on our pub
lie streets. They will soon pay our city
another visit, riding down from Faribault
on their bicycles. N. B. Solner, J. N.
Hay and Al. Friedrich, have supplied
themselves with splendid machines and
are rapidly perfecting themselves in the
art. They cost the boys from $40 ia
$3.50 each. Bicycles will soon be all the
rage.
