crew win get together 70 find out just how many
would be willing TO take the trip.
Harvard men say that the only obstacle TO the
race will be that the Argonauts may be unsple
TO have sufficient practice in Toronto so early
IN the season, although there has been some talk
that the Toronto rowing organization might be
represented at the American Henley in Phjla-
delphia in May. IL the crew decides to make
that trip, date for the Harvard race would be
arranged for about the same time The Ar

BICYCLING.

There seems some reason TO believe that the
day OF the bicycle IS coming back. and plans are
even being made for bicycle show to revive
interest. At a meeting in this city during the
automobile show. at which the leading bicycle
makers OF the country were IN attendance the
question was put forward, and several good ar
gurnents for show We're presented No def
mite action was taken IN the matter but those
who believe that show should be held are not
likely TO let the matter drop The fact was
pointed out that London has seen at least one
bicycle show OF national Importance each year
since the bicycle became popular. and that the
interest that has lately been taken in auto
mobiles has not eclipsed the bicycle show by
