1t is surprising to note the utter dis
regard shown by wheelwomen and a
few wheelmen for the etiquette of the
road in the matter of turning to the
right when meeting another cyclist or
vehicle of any sort. 1t may not be
amiss in this connection to urge upon
new riders the advisabilfty of making
a wide turn when rounding a corner.

Loomis on Summit the other day by

shoulder blade on field day at Hamline,
is improving and expects to be on the
track again soon.
The local division of the L. A. w.
took it's first official run on Thursday

hour appointed for starting time. Those
who were on hand left the Windsor at
o'clock promptly. The run was to
Como park. Only about thirty men,
bers turned out, but they had very
jelly run of it. Col. Cody, Of Chicago,
was the guest of honor, and among the
other gentlemen participating were:

sion; w. II. S. Wright, H G. Hope,
Charles w. Copley, George Boyce. Flu
ture runs are subject to call Of the

L. F. Block cautions members of the
Cycle Path association to bring in
their receipts and obtain their transfers
before the supply runs out. An up-to-
date wheel without the blue label on
front will soon be as much of a guy as
the wheel with cushion tires
Will Read, who claims he cannot
find a lantern that will not jolt out,
