INTERESTING JOTTINGS FROM BUSY
 CITY.
 The new Era Cooking school is prov ing a great attraction and it promises to be 8 success. Many ladies attend the free exhibitions on Saturday afternoons and the delicacies in the culinary art are freely tested. The teacher is an expert in that line.
 The annual banquet given by the Bridgeport Wheel club, last week, was 8 brilliant affair, and the boys showed their good judgment by re-electing the following we'll known officers: Presi- dent, P. ". Westlake; vice president, G.. I. Ferguson treasurer, c. R. Crowther :; secretary, c. K. Moore; captain, Pres ton Sherwood; first lieutenent, Will L. Hommedieu; second lieutenant, John Horton.
 Thomas P. Taylor, the newly elected mayor, is an enthusiastic bicyclist and is already planning for another grand pa- rade to excel the one given last season. While doing the duties of his new po- sifion he will, no doubt, do much to fur ther the interests of riders of the sssilent steed." He has recently become mem- Der of the Ramblers, the oldest organ ized club. This club has many fine rid , CTS and their meet on May 3l and Labor day will undoubtedly be success. The new school house at the East End is nearing completion and has been named the Lincoln school. Many did not care to have the old name, Newf1eld, | changed, but it was thought best. The structure is of modern architecture and credit to that portion of the city. Thereshas been some talk of the incon. venience of having the baseball games take place at Pleaf re Beach, and ar. engagements are beslg perfected to have them given at Avon Park.
