and all who have seen it pronounce it a
dandy. This makes two of this type of this
machine in the club.
The run to Springfield was again aban-
doned on account of bad roads, the usual
make-shift from Omaha to Bluffs was taken
by quite number of the members.
The elements this month so far have
played sad havoc with the club mileage, but
we hope yet to make 200 more this, than last
month; the 1869 of June was quite starter
in this direction.
Run to Florence Tuesday, June 25 to start
at p. m. sharp. All members are requested
to be present at this run, as little business
pertaining to the 4th Of July outing will be
transacted.
