PORTLAND WHEEL CLUB.
It's New Quarters at the Corner OF
High and Pleasant Streets.

The Portland Wheel Club last evening
held one of its most enthusiastic meetings
since organization. Five new members were
admitted, and then attention was given to an
exhaustive report of the committee appoint
ed week ago to investigate the question oil
new quarters. The report recommended the
leasing of the elegant house at the corner of
High and Pleasant streets, known as the
DIR. Greene house, il favorable terms could
be made. The advantages of the house were
fully set forth, and the club unanimously
voted to lease the same. They also voted to
| take immediate steps toward incorporation.
and extended vote of thanks to j. G.
Stevens, president. for his able assistance in
investigating the proposed quarters.
Recognizing the remarkable increase in
the popularity of cycling, this favorite club
has with due elaboration taken this import
ant step. Not only will advantages excelled
by few other clubs in the city be afforded,
but the location for such an organization
could hardly be better. The interior is
handsomely finished, and, with the furniture
owned by the club, will be made most con-
venient and cosy home. On the first floor is
a large front room with a bay window, on
the High street side. This will probably be
the reading room. Back of this, opening in
to it by sliding doors, is an apartment with
bay window looking out on Pleasant street,
which will be the general club room. Fur
Their out is the kitchen, which may be ar
ranged as a place for wheels. On the second
floor is pleasant room for pool table, Sec
tary's office, bath room and janitor's quarters.
Above are four chambers, which will be
rented. From this floor one can step out up
on the roof of the ell. which is fiat. Over
this canvas will probably be hung and one
of the most delightful places imaginable ar
ranged for sitting during summer evenings
There is large attic where wheels could be
stored in winter. From the cupola splendid
| panorama of city and harbor is seen.

Merchants Week,

Yesterday morning opened cloudy, and
consequently many of the traders and their
families were deferred from visiting this
city. Still there was quite delegation ar
rived, and the retail dealers on Congress
street said there was very good Monday
trade. In the afternoon there was strong
evidence that the trains were bringing in a
large contingent. The hotel registers showed
many arrivals, and some of the boarding
houses and small houses and small hotels
have all their rooms engaged for the week.
The restaurants were we'll patronized. Each
succeeding day will see steady increase in
numbers.
Merchants Week commenced we'll at the
Atkinson House Furnishing Company's
store. From o'clock until the time of clos
ing their store was crowded with buyers.
The liberal arrangement by which railro ad
fares were deducted from the bills of pur-
chasers doubtless drew a large number of
people, and the special prices closed the trade.
The parcel room was freely taken advantage
OF, hundreds of packages being checked dur
ing the day. The refreshment room was
well patronized by the ladies, the cup of
coffee and cracker being highly appreci-
ated.

Workroom Sale.

Today the ladies in charge of the work
room will open their ninth annual sale in the
store next the main entrance of the Fal-
mouth Hotel, &c Middle street. The sales
in former years have been very successful
and enabled them to carry on the work dur
ing the winter, and they entreat those who
have helped in the past and all who are not
acquainted with this work to come in and
examine the articles offered for sale. For
the benef. of those who may not know the
method pursued by this society we would
say that the proceeds are spent in material
and in orders for groceries and fuel given
weekly to the poor women. Our friends
have given less this winter than in any pre-
vious year, and our weekly sales have been
much smaller, so that if our garments are
not sold the work will be stopped next sea-
son and many poor widows and mothers,
whom we have tided over the dull winter,
will sink into pitiable and despairing power
ty. The work is better and the garments
have been chosen and fitted with better
taste than last season. X.
