Not satisfied with merely sapping the
strength OF the league by taking its mem
bers, the association has for weeks past
been quietly undermining the Eastern or
ganization by leading away its local con-
suls throughout the State and making
them officials of the rising power IN wheel
ing.
Nearly a full list of local consuls has
been appointed by the C. A. c., and the

vile representatives were formerly the
league workers and are now engaged in
bringing their friends into the fold.
The acceptance of these men OF G. a. G.
appointments very seriously crippIes the
leagues .as it is found difficult TO get new
men, to take hold to keep the league mem
! bership from still further shrinking.
Another scheme that is vastly aiding
the association is the getting into the
ranks of prominent hotel kee pers all over
the State, whose houses are the head
quarters of cyclists. Frank H. Kerrigan.
chairman OF the local organization and
recruiting committee. has sent the follow
ing letter to large mum Der of bonifaces
whose houses were formerly league hotels,
and almost without exception they are
falling into line:
Dear SIR: Enclosed you will please find two
hotel contracts. filled out with the same rate
you gave the l. A. w. last year. Kindly sign
both, retain one and mail the other to me i'm
medlately.

the official organ of the G. A. c. c., and in our
road book, and all members of the organiza-
ton travelling in your neigh borhood will be
induced to patroniZe you.
Enclosed you viii find an address to wheel
men,which explains in a measure the aims and
objects OF the C.A.C.C. Itwould be a good idea

trated weekly paper, free, which contains all

travelling cyclists and the wheelmen of Your

The hand and road books of the associa.
ton will be cut within a short time, and
it is expected that their superiority over
those Of the league will still further in
crease the membership which the leaders
are determined to make 5000 within a
year.
