can Wheelmen in this state and the
Wisconsin division has now 2, 100 mem
bers. Kenosha at present stands the
third city in the state in point of mem
bership. The boys are pushing the
work with the hope of soon standing
second to Milwaukee only. Appleton
at present holds second place with
total membership of 1872. If Kenosha
could increase her roll twenty-One
members she would hold second place.
Milwaukee has membership of 437,
Appleton, 182; Kenosha, 1852, and Ra-
cine, IA. Theloc league is growing
continually and bids fair soon to sur
pass its rival, Appleton, which is larger
and one OF the most enthusiastic wheel
towns in the northwest.
Airships are coming close to US. If
we are to keep up with the times we
will have to hustle and produce the
only airship that has ever operated
successfully. Our neighbors on the
north have already come to realization
of the demands of the times and are
about to change the manner of travel
between here and the Belle city from
bicycle to aerial locomotion. The Ra-
cine News says: I" 1t is rumored that
two well-known mechanics residing on
Geneva street are building an airship.
This information was received from one
of the mechanics, but further knowledge
could not be obtained from him. Now,
if a success is made of this undertake
ing, Racine will no doubt rise in prom
inence, and from the manner in which
they are going at it there is no doubt
of their success"
There is considerable confusion in
the reports regarding the bicycle path.
