 A party of twelve South Wilmington cy clists rode to Norwich on their wheel. recently, and took the boat to Watcl Hill. The day was fine one, and every body enjoyed themselves. Incidents hap pened as incidents will, and each had hi little mishap. The first one on the un lucky list was Louis J. Korper. H started off gaily with the rest, and wa thinking of the clans waiting for him a Watch Hill, when suddenly he struck | stone ana DrOKe ms crank. lie turno around and counted fence posts back t Willington, and we judge that if the whee could talk it would tell good stor about the trip. The next one whor Dame Fortune struck in the neck was W H. Hall, who broke his saddle when nea Lebanon. Afterwards MT. Hall stoppe every ten minutes to adjust it so that would fit him. We will not tell of Mol rison's troubles, over which he had n control, nor of how Leo was so struck b the beauty of one of New London's fai daughters that it was hard work to ge him to Watch Hill. The party returne home late at night, and dreamed of rec haired girls and sea-weed until morning.
