busy spot last Monday night on the occasion OF

home Is a few doors away in Sixth-ave.. and
from whom the wheelmen have lately separated.

with a membership Of about one hundred en-
thusiastic wheelmen. and twenty nine new men,
bers were elected at last Monday nights meet
ing. With the strength and able management
which the club enjoys its prosperity and popu-
larity seem assured. The new home Is roomy
and well-arranged house. which the wheelmen
have furnished handsomely. and which whem
improvements now projected are completed. VIII
