organized in 1883, has about ceased to
be an Organization, owing to the in
ability of the club to meet it's oblisa-

interest among the members. The club
has a well furnished clubhouse and a
number of noted wheelmen on it's roll.

are about s. 1000 and that a sale of the
clubs effects will take place at auction,
when a reorganization will be effected.
