Through the efforts of the League of American wheelmen all bona fide mem bers of the l.. A. W. may now have their wheels brought into Canada without paying duty upon them. Before this everyone going into Canada on a visit or tour had to pay duty upon their wheels, but now a member of the L. A. w. may, by leaving his ticket with the custom officers and signing paper telling what port they mean to enter in going back to the United States, bring their wheels back with them without, paying duty. On the part of the United States in re- turn for these courtesies the Cana dian Wheelmen's Association is accord cd the same privileges for their mem- bers when going into the United States and back.
