The Vermont Wheel club had its origin
in the old Brattleboro Cycle club. which
was disbanded in the fall of lSSJ, and the
Vermont Wheel club was formed to take
possession OF the quarters which the Tau
rus club was to vacate in Market block
The first president was II. L. Emerson and
the first secretary and treasurer .. W.Drowu
now of Springfield Mass, who was one
OF the principal movers for its formation.
The club then had less than 30 members.
This number was gradually increased to
about 20. Since the plans for the new
rooms We're made there have been many
additions and the membership is now
about 10 The president OF the club is
L. D. Whitney: vice president. W. Il.
Childs: secretary, Martin Austin, ir. and
treasurer, {. W. Richardson. These four
officers with A. D Wyatt. George t. Fox

lit officiating, and the burial will be in the
family lot at Westminster, with service at

have increased steadily, being Slj3, 427
larger in 1894 than the previous year,
while the record thus far in 1895 has been
disastrous. The losses incurred last year,
according 10 the report Of the insurance
commissioners just received, were 81 per
cent of the total premiums, leaving only
six per cent on the aggregate business for
expenses, taxes and profits. OF the -
companies of other states and countries
doing business in Vermont 20 suffered loss
in excess of total premiums received. In
one instance the percentage of loss to pre-
miums received was 100, while the great
est is shown by company that collected
S2169 in premiums and suffered losses
amounting to $4,000. When it is remem-
bered that 81 per cent of the premium re-
ceipts is considered a fair average for ex-
penses it will readily be seen that Vermont
underwriting, as a whole has been far
from profitable.
