What the Wheelmen Find to Do
The Fate Of q Club Cat.


The club house of the Hudson County
Wheelmeu is to all appearances deserted
place. II is an unusual thing to find a
half dozen of the members in the vicinity.
Club life at this season of the year is
void of interesting news. as most OF the
club men, young and old, have taken up
their residence either at the seashore or
in the mountains. The only wheelm en-
who are ever seen In town now are those
gentlemen who are compelled by business
to stay at home.
The bulletin of the Hudson County
Wheelmen Tor the month OF July has not
been issued yet.

her husband notified the club boys that
the roads along the seasnore were in ex-
cellent condition.
Secretary Frank Huson's cat, an at
tache at the clubhouse Of the Hudson
County Wheelmen, has been dismissed
from the club. A few nights ago the an
imal, the pet OF the entire club, bit one OF
the members ON the finger. The cat
was given fair trial. but o de-
cision was rendered forever barring
her from the privileges of the club.
The case will be appealed upon Nj. HUI

lty OF Red Bank are in fine condition,
and some of the boys have enjoyed long

A number Of young ladies, who will
PROBABLY be elected members of the III.
G. w. aJ the next regular meeting of the
club, can be seen twice week going Off
on runs. The ladies either ride Co New
ark, or 90 to Snake Hill, via Tonelle ave-
nue.. Warden Grimes always gives
the ladies cordial welcome
and allows them the privilege of visiting
all the institutions or rambling over the
hill at leisure. The Warden's generosity
has made him a favorite with the lady
riders.
DR.. Benedict is authority for the state
ment that bicycle riding is about as
healthful an exercise as mau. woman or
child can take when not INDUCED in to
excess. The Doctor is one of the best
riders GU the Heights.

Mr.. Harry Anness, of Grove street, was
elected temporary chairman of the Grove
Bicycle Club last week. The club was
recently organized, and is composed OF
young riders residing in the vicinity OF
Grove and York streets
1t is not an uncommon occurrence to
see half dozen or more young men
spinning around Hamilton Park at night.
They are fair riders. but belong
to no bicycle club. 1t would be we'll for

take a run evenings to Newark and not
ieopardize the lives of children by spin
