lulSt NIRW.
The members of the Wilmington
Bicycle Club, celebrated their fourth an.
niversary last evening by rendering re.
ception and banquet to the members oil
the club who had served in the First
Delaware Volunteers.
The affair was grand success. 1t
started at the headquarters ef the club,
where the members remained until 8
o'clock, when they adjourned to the
Clayton House, where an elegant menu
was served in the large banquet hall.
The members were seated around three
tables, which accommodated 175 per-
sons. William Rice, who was chairman
OF the banquet committee, occupied n
seat at the first table, and Horace G.
Knowles, one of the prominent guestsof
the club, was seated AZ his right hand
After all had done justice to the menu,
Chairman Rice arose and after making a
few feicitous remarks about the ami
yersary, introduced Horace G. Knowles,
who made an eloquent address,
in which he said the members OF
the club deserved great credit for the
organization they built up and spoke Of
the enviable reputation it had attained
not'only in this city but in other sections
well.
He asserted that as far as he was
acquainted with them all of the mem.
bers were gentlemen and everyone APP
parently worked, not for his own selfish
interests, but for the best interests of his
fellow members and the club. This, he
claimed was the keynote of the success
of the club.
He said the organization sent more of
its members into the U. S. Service dur
ing the late war than any other one
organization in the city or State, and
its interest in them did not cease after
they had donned Uncle Sans uniform.
