Bishop Coxe Defends his Recent Remark Q
on Modesty.
The Rev. A. Cleveland Coke Of Buffalo, Epis-
copal Bishop Of Western New York. was re-
ported few days ago as having said that
women on bicycles look like witches on
broom sticks" A man in this city promptly
sent a remonstrance to tho Bishop, In which
he mentioned several New York women who
had received physical benefit from wheeling.
The Bishop replied at once. His etter. dated
Buffalo. July 2. follows:
DEAR SIR: 1t Ii impossible for me to object
to your remonstrance based upon the thera =
peutic merits Of the bicycle. ButI am surpris-
ed and amused at the comments OF the press
on some incidental remarks which fell from
my lips while addressing n school for girls
which Is under my care and to which I was
acter n women. am still OF the opinion that
bicycling s grossly imno Oldest as well as rdic-
ulous for women the exceptional use OF 1t for
health does not come under my censure suye
only when the crowded thoroughiares of
city are chosen for such exercise. SUBJ
nit that to pick out woId or two from a
deeply serious and well-studied lecture and
to treat them apart from time place. and cir
cumstance. with no reference to the argument
in which they were embedded. is not fair to
any speaker. much less to one whose expert
are not inferior to those of his critics. With
sincere thanks and true respect. am faithfully
yours,
A.CLEvELAND COKE, Bishop, &c."
