The boys have a rich joke on a promi-
nent member of the club who at one time
held the one-inile amateur championship of
the United States and whose record was
within d fraction of q second of the worlds
mile record He has also travelled through
continental Europe on racing tonr and

of his grit and muscle.
During d run in from Cycle Cottage with
a number of the boys one night last week
this prominent member" saw, as he sup
posed, young lady alone on wheel, spin
into the road from Brightwood track. He
quickened his pace in order to crafty q
burning curiosity: so also did the lady. He
put on bit Of steam, the boys following,
but still he seemed to gain little on his
pacermaker. He now bent over his handle
bars and put in one of his old-tinie bursts
Of speed: but still he could not catch the
fair cyclist. He was riding an "a geared
wheel, and, calling to an ambitious COM
,lanion who rides SO, they alternately
paced each other liz mighty effort
to catch tie flying figure ahead This
they only succeeded in doing when Argyl,
Hill was reached and the flying cyclist
slowed up in going down grade. The two
pumped out scorchers looked up and dis
covered that they had been chasing dia-
mond tandem with a lady on the rear seat
and one Of the sterner sex in front. AS
