The Laurel Cycle club held its regular
weekly meeting last evening at the corner of
Dayton and Western avenues 1t was purely
business meeting, and very lively time

The first thing to be taken into considera-
ton was the question of procuring a club
house. The committee that has this matter
IN charge expects to decide upon a house to-
morrow morning Many houses were suggest
ed last night but the club is very particular
IN 1ts choice, and wishes good location. The
question or delinquent dues was discussed and
announcements were made to both ladies' and
gentlemen in reference to bicycle suits.
An invitation to the club to assemble at the
headquarters of the Columbia Bicycle club, at
90 East Fifth street, for the purpose of at
tending the Minneapolis bicycle show. was
announced as coming to all the st. Paul cycle
clubs from the manager Of the show. The
club decided to meet at the place designated
at O'Clock, as they could not all be on hand
at an earlier hour.
The sentiment of the members seemed to be
that admission to the club was too easy a
matter for they have not been following their
constitution in the matter, which states that
applications shall be decided upon by a COM
mittee. There were five or six new members
admitted last evening under suspension Of
the rules, as heretofore, but in the future the
constitution is to be followed, the president

night on the payment Of initiation fee and
dues, will be allowed to accompany the club
to Minneapolis tomorrow night as one Of
them, permanent admission to be decided upon
later The badges are to be obtained at the
place of meeting, and ''every one will have to
wear club ribbons. They cost five cents
bunch" was the announcement.
Two amendments to the constitution were
adopted one providing that no officer should
serve for longer period than one year; an
other that all ladies who could ride mile in
three minutes or less should become honorary
members Of the three minute class.

draw up club house rules: Wolfred Nelson,
