Who thanks the Giver OF all our joys,
= For the strength Of the steel,
For the brain OF the man,
Who tempered the steel,
For the skill Of the man
Who assembled the parts
OF the beautiful wheel!
And she thanks the God who made The air,
And the sky so blue, and the trees SO far;
For by riding that vince! of steel
A newness OF body and soul she feels
And she secs new beauties everywhere.
An exchange remarks: Every bicyclist

Pembroke received another Star safety

The CycIist thus describes a new kind Of
wheel, which certainly is curious, even if
it does not prove practical: The huD

The L. 4. " Bulletin speaking OF prom
inent eastern cycle club says: The club
has lust received its charter Of incOrpOra-
ton. and in accordance Herewith have
amended their constitution and bylaws.
At the regular meeting on Friday evening
these changes were presented TO the club,
and a most lively session was the result.
The most radical departure IS the admls-
sion of ladies to membership, and its advis-
ability has been strongly questioned by
number of the members. That the fair
sex are a most decided acquisition, the eX-
Derience of the Staid old Philadelphia
Bicycle club has proved beyond doubt,
and the PennsylVanianS are taking IN ladies

this combination that we must look Tor the
life of our clubs during the season when
our wheels are housed. In the early days

We believe the same policy would be good
one for our own cycle club to pursue,
making of the club a social organization
which could not be called in any sense self

Helen Grey, the lady editor of the Bicy-
clinG World, speaking of the way the ladies
are leaving the tricycle. and taking to the
bicycle, says: And yet with all this Ell

ventures think these ladies Of the south
