Cycle Club.

The regular meeting of the National
Capital Motor Cycle Club was held We'd

mined and feted arrangements were

The club has passed through something
Of a crisis in the last two months. In
terest was waning. the burden of the
work was being shifted to few ener-
getic members and the finances are
said to have been mostly on the wrong
side Of the book. President Carl Lesh
realized how matters stood and after the
routine business had been accomplished
at last Wednesdays meeting he made an
appeal to the members that had instan-
taneous effect. Matters were brought up
and disposed of in a live. snappy way,
and the spirit of brotherhood and good
fellowship that has carried the organi-
cation through many trial soon re-
turned.
