 There was a score or more bicyclists out speeding on Main street early last evening and lively spurts were had by pairs or in larger numbers. Harry Norton and Ernest Atkinson were coming down Main street neck and neck at full speed and while crossing Center street collided with the horse and wagon of A. H. Bartholomew. Norton struck and was thrown against the horse and his leg was somewhat bruised, but he was not seriously injured. His new wheel will have to be re- paired. Atkinson struck the wheel to the wagon, but escaped without injuries. The two boys were not looking ahead, but were stopped over on their wheels pushing for all they were worth. Several of the by islanders shouted a warning which was un- needed. The accident will no doubt prove a valuable lesson to the bicyclists in the future, and they can thank their lucky stars that they escaped as they did.

 E. J. Wallace has earned the title and is now known among his shopmates as Dr. Wallace. His first prescription proved successful and cured sick COW, but the compromising of the lotion nearly proved case of fatal poisoning to the owners of the ailing animal.
