No Very Low Scores
We're Made.

The light and other conditions were
most favorable for the opening Of the
Worcester Gun Club at Barber's Cross

per cent, were scored as broken.

LOWELL IS PLEASED.
He Talks enthusiastically of the Bicycle
Combine.

LOmplnSs
Col. ]. P. Lowell was in Worcester
visiting friends yesterday and looking
after business interests. The Spy man
called his attention to the press dis
patches of yesterday morning relative
to the formation of a great bicycle COM
bine, and the colonel laughingly de-
clared: 1T is excellent 1t is the
very thing we have been looking for for
the last two years. The general pub
lie have no idea of the immense benefit
that will be derived from it, although
the word trust" sometimes carries
with it harsh sound. But in this
case it will come to be public bene-
fit.
1.-The saving, not only to the bicycle
manufacturer, but to the buyer as well,
will reach up into the millions. The
advertising expenses of the bicycle
manufacturers of this country have av-
eraged between five and six million dol
lars annually. OF course the larger
portion of the advertising has been
given to the trade papers, but now the
major portion of it will be given to the
daily newspapers. and the expense in
that direction will be reduced proper
tiOnately.
Another bad feature heretofore-the
construction of cheap bicycles-will
cease. The general public seems to
fail in appreciation of what that
means, and no better illustration can
be given than my experience of a few
days ago. when a gentleman came into
my Boston store who had sometime pre-
viousy bought what is known in the
market as a cheap wheel He brought
il in for repairs Since the purchase,
he had expended over SO for repairs.
zone of the purposes of the combine
will be to buy up and do away with
the cheaper grades so far as possible,
and if this cannot be done, to brand
the wheel for exactly what it is
I am exceedingly enthusiastic over
this combine proposition. and nothing
pleased me more than when the agents
of the projectors declared that the
modern machinery which we possessed
in our factory and the wheels we pro-
duced were perfection in themselves.
