L. : Harrison the president OF the South
Brooklyn Wheelmen returned from a tour
through New-England on Wednesday. arriving
on the Fall River boat Priscilla, which was struck
BY lightning in the North River. In speaking of
his experience Mr.. Harrison said: Il just
tuning on the electric light in my stateroom
when that bolt struck the flagpole and thought
thai my time had come. l felt tngng sensa-
tion go through me- and did not get entirely rid
OF II for two days. After tour through New
England it is easy TO understand why New-York
Stat has made such gigantic strides in L. A. w
affairs and has left Massachusetts so far behind
If they ever expect to catch us our New-England
friends will have to adopt some of the hustlng
methods brought out by Chief Consul Potter in
this state | glad to see that our club in
South Brooklyn has an attack OF hustling fever
We have splendid club and there is no reason
WHY we cannot push II TO the front, where 1t
properly belongs When we hold our meet at
Manhattan Beach in September will show
come people how a bicycle meet should be run"
