Notes From the North End.

Mrs Gilbert, wife OF Pharmacist #. T.. Gill
bert. was the victim OF the carelessness OF a
bicycle rider "early last evening. She was
going along Douglas avenue on her bicycle,
when, without any warning, another cyclist
came around a corner and ran his front wheel
right against the machine Mrs. Gilbert was
riding. The shock threw Mrs Gilbert TO the
ground and rendered her unconscious. She
was taken TO the office Of DIR. Flynn on Smith
street and after the doctor had treated her
injuries she was taken I'm the doctors GSrriage
10 her home on Branch avenue This morn.
ing her condition was reported as moro com
Portable and her many friends trust she may
soon recover from the effects Of her unpleasant
experience.
Another bicycle accident, or, rather, couple
Of accidents, did not result as seriously the
one above detailed. A young woman who is
pretty fair cyclist, but who was last night in
an especially romantic condition OF mind,
rode down Charles street 10 Randall square.
When at the extreme north line OF the latter
highway she discovered a young man in whom
she is said to have more than passing inter
est, but at any rate whom she wanted to talk
10 quick, at the south line of the square. She
headed her wheel for the young man, or,
rather, the sidewalk that he was walking
along, and the wheel got started all right, but
then the fair rider forgot all about the ma
chine, and after trolley car had kindly got
out of the way the wheel went until the curb
stone stopped the sidewalk, and then over her
handle bars went the young lady. The fates
were extremely kind, for she was thrown
right into the arms OF the young man she
wanted 10 speak 10. and though the meeting
was sudden IL W. not altogether unpleasant.
The young lady after n talk with her kind
rescuer got on her machine again and rode
mp Randall street. In a few minutes she re-
turned and again the bike went across the
square and against the curbing at the same
place as before, and over the handle bars
again went the young lady. The fates were
again as kind could be expected on sec
ond call on their kindness, for though the
young man was not there the young lady fell
in IA soft spot.
