hour record, visited Miss Ada Oursler, of

We are informed by good authority that the
largest century run ever starting from this
county will shortly be called. The route will
be from Westminster TO Wrightsville, on the
Banks of the Susquehanna, and return, the
distance being 104 miles. As this is an easy
century it ought to be patronized by great
many ladies as well as men. There will he
souveniers for all who finish on time.
What is the matter with the Cycling Ram
blers? A club as old as this with a record
that is part of history ought not to be let
die out.
DR.. Baughman says when he gets his new
adjustable bars for his Hunter, DR.. Herring
won't be in it with his Royal Blue Rambler
We note that great many factories have
reduced their prices on the standard make of
bicycles. This should be an inducement TO
many contemplating riders to purchase their
mounts now as there are many months OF fine
riding yet this season.
