Story. Dance and Lunch.
An evening of merriment and of remin-
iscence. with an attendance that augured
well for the future, was enjoyed by the
Vermont Wheel club in its headquarters
in the Abbott building on Elliot street
last evening, when the 35th anniversary

dance and refreshments, following red
fire parade of members on Main and Eli

a good time and felt better off for having
attended.
Over 80 men, including the Brattle-

town hall building for the parade at 1.3o
o'clock, and others went directly to the
rooms while still others came later in the

this type were common in the earlier part
of the Wheel clubs existence, TO many of
the members of the present day and to
many of the younger persons who looked

distinct novelty. 1t was of type known

wheel behind. while in the rooms there
was on display another type of high wheel
called the Star, which was of later date,
with the little wheel in front.
When the head of the procession, in
double file reached the entrance to the
rooms the men formed in two lines facing
each other and Mr.. Crosby rode back be-
tween the lines amid continuous cheering,
while beams of light from a searchlight
on the roof garden were played upon him.
Then the members proceeded to the rooms
for entertainment.
