LOCAL CYCLE NOTES.
Laurel Clubs First Lawn Party 9
Success

The first lawn party of the. Laurel
Cycle club was such a success, not with
standing that 1t had to be given indoors
by the reason of rain, and the demand
for second one on a larger scale has
been SO general, it has been decided to
give another lawn party and social on
the club grounds, 728 Grand avenue,
Thursday evening, July %. The Invita-
tions sent out by the club read for a
'Bicyclers' Lawn Fete," but while bicy-
Gle costume should be worn, if conven-
lent, the attendance will by no means
be restricted to those who ride. The
st. Paul Marine band consisting of
thirty -eight pieces, will furnish the
music and can be depended upon to hold
the crowd even after the ice cream has
lost it's attractiveness. The club house
and grounds will be deliberately decor
ated and every effort will be made to
assure a successful and enjoyable at
fair.
Miss Queen Arey has joined her bro
ther, who recently made the trip to
Chicago by wheel in six days They
will probably spend the remainder of
the vacation with their uncle in the
windy city.
The Laurel Cycle club enjoyed run

bers of the club went and lemonade
was served at the club house on the
return,
