cyclists to Co to Bermuda.

F. A. Elwell's cycling tour of Bermuda this
winter promises to prove seccessful and very
enjoyable affair. Already a goodly number of
wheelmen have promised to participate, and a
larger gathering than that of last year is anti
cipated. From a circular of the tour recently
issued, it is learned that the party will leave New
York Tuesday, March 3D. reaching Bermuda
early the following Friday. 1t is proposed to re-
main there thirteen days, stopping at the Hotel
Hamilton, house equal in every respect to the
finest American summer hotels, and delightfully."-
situated. The party will arrive in New York
again March 21st. The steamer Trinadall will
take the party to Bermuda and the wheels win be
very carefully handled. A precedent was estab-
lished by the party last year which will avoid all
custom-house annoyance at either end of the line
