1t is a great wonder to many why
our bicycle boys do not instill little
energy into themselves and arrange for
a meet Smaller cities than Water
town are holding them with much sue
cess, and there is no reason why we
could not follow suit. There is large
quota of riders here, enough to hold a
good meet all by themselves, but we
] have no doubt that sufficient number
of racers from outside would be inter-
ested to guarantee big success. Come,
boys, wake up and start the ball roll
| ing. Let's have a little sport in the
| town, and not be behind the times.
There's money in meet if the peo-
pie could once become interested in
the affair. Louie Kusel, the "father"
of the bicycle craze, should be prime
mover in this direction.
