OF the National Board Of Trade of cycle Manu-
facturers ended their meeting yesterday afternoon
Tie delegates went over the business or the bOdru
carefully and many of them started for thelr re-
spectve homes last night. well satisfied with the
conditions. All rumors about any financial dlni-
cuties were set at rest by William a. Redding
the treasurer who said that the Board had all the
funds that II might need for the present. or FOR
the future and that anybody who might have any
bills against the Board might send them In and
have them settled without delay. The fact that
the Board las just mace arrangements 10 secure
larger and more expensive quarters further up

disseminating National cycle shows. the makers

There IS some feeling between the Associated
Cycling Clubs or New-York and the New-York
Consulate Of the L. A. ". The chances are that
better counses will prevail. and that the two or
