After the banquet, DR.. George e. Dow,
in a brief, happy speech introduced Chief
Consul James e. Marrett, as toastmaster
Of the evening. Mr.. Marrett spoke of the

reasons for joining it were, the promotion
of the fraternal spirit, the participation
in racing, and most important of all the
taking part in the movement for good
roads
The first toast was "Maine the Swizer-
land of America. 4" 1t was responded to
by William Fl. Looney, Esq.
Mr. Frank A. Elwell was introduced

the stayers and will continue to to do
Mr.. Elwell discussed Interestingly the

body laughed at the new idea When Mr.
Elwell was offered some stock in the
Dunlap Tire company he laughed and
refused it, but had he done otherwise, he

W.
DR.. Stanley P. Warren was introduced
and spoke in regard to the hygiene of
bicycling. The best thing about the
bicycle is that it gives pure air to men Of
sedentary habits. 1t is also very useful
in the cure of biliousness and chronic
sick headache. One of his patients at his
suggestion, was cured of sick headaches
by riding wheel.
The only disease that the bicycle cannot
be used with is consumption That
disease utterly bars out the wheel. Hill
climbing is something that no wheelman
should do. The doctor explained the
great danger of hill climbing,
