held this idea but is was not until a
man was arrested for violating the Sun
day law by repairing puncture that
the court finally rendered judgment on
this important question. In Jersey
City an ordinance has been passed
which provides for the imposition of
$25 fine on any person who throws
tacks, pieces Of glass Or other like ma

puncturing Of bicycle tires. The board
of education of Montclair. N. j., has
taken formal recognition of bicycles as
a means of going to and from school.
At recent meeting the fact that be-

rode to school every morning on BIZ
cycles and that some accommodation
should be provided for the wheels was
considered. The board then ordered
that racks for the wheels be put in the
different schools.

George Meredith is fond to excess of
almost every kind of manly sport. and
whether it Is boxing. fencing. golf. or
fox-hunting he prosecu'es it with an
ardor that makes him the rival of much

whitening hair. He is as tircless in
his literary work as IN his relaxation,
