There is very grave danger of the rae

ceases his sport" says Prof. a. c. Mat
thews Of England. In racing large lungs
are required, and they become inflated be

ceases his practice and adopts anything
app ,aching a Sedcntary life the lungs
fall = gely into disuse, easily decay, and
the result is quick consumption

impetus they give to trade. They nearly
support certain Industries. The institu-
ton of bicycle cops would he out of work if
it wasI.'t for scorcherS. And then what
would become of their wives and Young

and again made To the frequency with
which scorchers smash up men, women and
wheels. Wen of course, some people never
are satisfied. Some will grumhle when
they get to heaven, / suppose. But what
j say is this: What's a smaShed-up cyclist
or two and a few broken wheels when
the trade and general prosperity of the

noise has appeared more desirable than

against the ticket 1t was suggested that
the sale of the tickets be placed entirely
in the hands of the chairman Of the assoc

portions of the ticket II might turn in.
