GENERAL CYCLING NOTES
Demand for Bicycle Meets to
Include Prominent Cracks"
ZIMMERMAN AS A CARD
Increase of Cycling BusinesS-Way TO
Secure Good ROads-How Society
Famous Michaux Club-Sims' Good
Rtding-Other Local Riders.

Enough favorable comment has been
made on all sides to show beyond a doubt
that the Decoration Day c. A. c. bicycle
meet was an unqualified success, and
coupled with the comment is expressed
the hope that the club will see its way
clear to repeat the affair at an early day.
The track has proven itself q good stiff
course with just enough life in it to make
it safe and yet not take away from its
speed" quality.
The surroundings and conveniences are
first-class and there is everything about
the track to make it one of the most at
tractive in the circuit of which this city
is a part.
With the large amount of interest taken
in bicycling in this city, and the many
and various makes of wheels sold here,
it would seem that the c. A c. should
have the assistance of the principal firms
in securing for this city a meet which
would include the leading racing teams,
and thus give this city what it never had
before-races between the well-known
cracks of the country-and have these
races sandwiched in with those of our
local and nearby Glass A and B riders.
NEED OF a LONG TRACK.
AS a great star attraction, if we only
had along enough track, We might make
special effort to induce Zimmerman and
Johnson to come down here and run off
their great match, now that the latter has
been declared a full-fledged professional
For such events and others Of like I'M
portannce which might be pulled off
here, there should be grand half-mle
track built after the latest and most ap-
commodations for thousands of spectators
who would come from far and near.
The several cycle clubs Of this city
have here an opportunity to get together
and put up such track. Let it be upon
the stock company plan if money can be
raised in no other way, and there is no
doubt that the holding of several such
events as would include Zimmerman and
johnson and the many famous cracks

1t Was an Ideal Union Between the Poet
and His Wife.
Allusion has already been made to
his marriage. None could have been
happier; no union more nearly an ideal
one. Miss Fanny Fairchild was a
young lady whose parents had lived on
the Seekonk, a stream tributary to the
Green river. not far from Great Bar
rington. Early left an orphan, she
made her home alternately with her
married sisters in that place, and there
1t was that Bryant met her. Charm
ing in person, sweet in disposition,
lovely in character, she drew him to her
through his sympathy with her
orphanage, his admiration of her
beauty, and his appreciation of her
worth For forty-five years she was
the stay and blessing of his life. What
that marriage was to him they knew
best who knew him best. Reserved on
the su bject to the world at large, he
allowed only those who were nearest
him to know the wonderful depth and
tenderness of his affection. Their
sympathy was perfect, their depend
ence mutual

found its success with the public to be
precisely in proportion to the impress
sion it made upon her." A dear friend
of them both has said: THE union
between Mr.. and Mrs Bryant was
poem of the tenderest rhythm. Any
of us who remember Mr.. Bryant's
voice when he said Frances will Join

got another bid; and after some delay
somebody went dollar better.
