The regular run of the cycling club takes
place tomorrow evening, as usual. Start
from Pembroke's at pm.
Pembroke, the Star scorcher, has gone
east. His friends here vote free soda to
every eastern wheelman who will do him
up on the road
Miss Mabel Beers, of the Middlesex
Cycle club, rode from Everett to Newburys
port June 1st, a distance of forty two miles,
making but one dismount in twenty-five
miles. She rode back the following day as
far as Ipswich, twelve miles, where the
rain forced her to take the train.-L. A.W.
Bulletin.
Wheelmen, try the coasting on First
South street. From the foot of Fort Doug
las hill west to Second East street is the
finest and best made road in the city, and
the grade is heavy enough to give you the
speed of the toboggan slide if you want it,
yet not so heavy but what your machine
can be kept under perfect control, if you
prefer riding slower. Don't miss it.
Undoubtedly shale will make a good road
in time, but il is slow work, if the traffic of
teams is depended on to crush and harden
it. Why not secure a road roller, have
good roads, and have them quick. Who is
the 'rst of other city fathers to favor the
road .oller as an institution of our growing
city! Don't all speak at once, but be sure
you get there just the same.
A Milwaukee correspondent writes that
a new club is being formed in that city, and
that fifteen ladies at least will join it. There
are two ladies' clubs at Buffalo One has
the use of the Buffalo Bicycle club house
and the other has no quarters yet. Miss
Eva Chase who is in the employ of Mr..
Bowen, is filling up the membership of one
club, and she promises the largest ladies'
club in the state, if not in America.-L. a.

The wind and threatened rain Monday
evening prevented the cycling club mem
bers from taking the customary spin out in
the suburbs, but they INDUCED in a run up
South Temple street, past the beautiful
residences and over its glorious pavemenJs,
turning south to First South street, then
west over the new road, the most delightful
piece of coasting to be found anywhere,
was enjoyed as only cyclers can enjoy good
coasting. One of the party on an ordinary,
threw his feet over the handle bar. and
coasted for eleven blocks without touching
pedal. A return to Main street finished
tleEride.
a
pair shop at Spalding's the other day. A
wheel with backbone in need of repair was
brought and Mr.. Backbone placed in the
forge to start the brazing. Pretty soon
there was an explosion that shook things
up lively and melted grease flew in every
direction, setting on fire every infammable
thing in the shape of paper, waste, ETC., in
the repair shop, and severely burning one
of the workmen. "Conkr got squirt on
him that took him out of danger, Spooner
came down two flights of stairs as if it
were the last lap in l00-mile road race,
while Pres. Gerrould bravely held the fort
in the second story. 1t seems that there
was a rattle to the aforesaid backbone, and
the owner to stop it had filled up the back
bone with tallow, and when it was placed
in the forge and began to get hot the tai
low got in its work in great shape.-Chi-
cago correspondent L. A. w. Bulletin.
The fourth annual meet of the California
division is a thing of the past, and proved
to be an enjoyable occasion. There was
one element lacking, and that was large
attendance of wheelmen. Northern Cal
ifornia was represented by not over six,
while even the southern country did not
attend as the Importance and good pro-
gramme arranged justified. The meet
itself was success in every particular.
The races were fast and hotly contested.
W. S. Wing of this city lowered the Pacific
coast one-mile record from 2.4S 1-2 to 2.47,
and the five mile coast record from 15.49 to
1910 There is only one thing to regret in
connection with the races, and that is,
there wasn't a solitary representative of
the northern California's racing cracks;
but it is generally admitted it would have
been their Waterloo if they had come.
Chief Consul Mohrig, of San Francisco,
who was in attendance at the meet, ac-
companied by his wife, made host of
friends while here. Mrs. Mohrig rides the
ladies' cycle with rare skill and becoming
grace She rode to Santa Monica last Sun
day on her two.wheeler. The distance is
eighteen miles.-Los Angeles ''Vindex,"
