John Calvin Stevens,
Walfar Ennnrann


President Stevens, in opening the post
prandial remarks. said he was glad to greet
the members at dinner, and took pleasure in
presenting Mr.. Walter C.Emerson, President
of the Young Mems Republican Club.
Mr.. Emerson said the Portland Wheel
Club never did anything by halves. 1t was
one Of the recognized institutions of the
city. This and the other clubs Of young
men were rescuing Portland from conserva-
tlsm, serving to make life more attractive.
The prosperity of town does not depend
upon whether a man get drink with or
without wink. 1t depends upon the ener-
gy OF the young men. His remarks were in
teresting and able.
Lewis E. Smith (alias Dick Deadeye) en-
tertained with cute sayings and an amusing
story.
Lyman ID. Nelson, president Of the Port
land Turnverein thanked the members Of
tho iivciiost organization In the city fes izind
courtesies extended. He believed In the
amalgamation Of the various athletic socie-
ties Of the city, but he did not think 1t would
be practical to erecta convenient building in
the business portion OF our city; he was Of
opinion wooden building entirely suited to
the purposes of the various athletic clubs
could be erected in vicinity of New High
and Sherman streets for a few thousand dol
lars.
Frank A. Elwell was delighted to meet the
boys around the festive board, and urged
united effort to maintain lively interest in
the organization.
DR.. Geo. <. Dow, chief consul l.. A. w.
Of Maine, thought the outlook was good for
a booming cycling season.
President Stevens at this point, mention
having been made of his connection with
the city government, told the boys that he
would present before the City Council petit
tl0n prohibiting the Street Commissioner
from riding through the streets except on a
bicycle, provided the Club would prepare it.
He thought If the Commissioner once had to
do so, he would be convinced of the great
need OF more macadamized or asphalt streets,
and the result would be favorable to wheel
men.
c: d.. Alexander, the retiring secretary,
spoke pleasantly of his past official associa
tion with the boys. Not only were more
bicycle agents numbered among the mem
bers OF the Club, but also the manager and
treasurer of one Of the most successful
bicycle tours ever known in cycling. They
were favored club, with many opportuni-
Ties. Let them not be neglected.
The hour being late. the pleasant occasion
was ended without further remarks.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-Charles Francis

the general provisions Of the bill. It was a
good and fair bill in many respects, but there
were few material points in it which he
would like to see modified. He was forced
to the conclusion that the burden which the
Frye bill imposed upon the Union Pacific

not be willing to be responsible for the re.
