PAWTUXET WHEELMEN.
The Pawtuxet Whesmen have been in
their present quarters In the Oates block,
Broad street but few months. The in
creased mem bership has made the rooms
too small To accommodate them oil at
meeting nights, and have decided To en-
large them by adding another room which
VIII give them the whole front of the
building The change will not only give
additional and needed room but will
mike the rooms much more convenient
and better connected than before. The
addition of the pool table has crowded the
space so much tnat space hardly remained
for the other furniture In one of the
rooms. The partitions between these
rooms will be removed and made into n
large arohed doorway i,ipg free access
between the sections. They decided to hire
the hall, as the addition of a third room
was found more convenient and feasible.
The club Will have house warming and
dedication after the rooms are ready for
occupancy again A smoke talk was TO
hnve been held last evening but was post
poned on account of the changes and will
take place as soon as the rooms are
finished. The work is expected to take
about two weeks
THE GEAR CASE.
A gear case was tried after a rain n
short time ago and proved very satisfac-
tory. The water stood in puddles all
along the roadway and made wheeling
very unpleasant. A wei! Known cyclist of
Providence attached gear case to his
wheel and was at work at once riding
through all the mud puddles and slippery
roads he could find for about eight miles.
