acted as POSTMASTER and the speakers who
replied to the several toasts seemed all to

bachelor members of the club. Besides the

Steps will probably be taken very soon
to place the cycle path in perfect condition
q again. The advantage of having a path
properly built are seen very clearly when
the present condition of the path is noted.
The path has stood the winter in splendid
shape with the exception of a comparatively
small number of little washouts and the
disturbance of the plank over some of the
sideways. Apparently the cost to place
the path in first class shape will be small.
Every rider should take pains, however, ia
stand by the directors and place the club in
position to extend the path as far as Du-
rand during the coming season.
