A Bicycle Club

In response to a cali by a number of interested people, fully a huadred bicyclists, ladies and gentlemen, mo.t at the Scbool of Musie last Thursday night, for the purpose of forming a bieyole club, The meeting was fairly representativo of both University and city. Prof. L. D. Wines was elected temporary chairman and H. J. Brown temporary sccretary. A committee, consisting of Prof. F. M. Taylor, Prof. A. A. Stanley SA. Moran reported a constitution and by-laws, which. after discussion and a few minor changes, was adopted. A few members of the League of American Wheelmen were present and urged that the proposed club be made a branch of that organization, but the proposition did not meet with much favor. The question of better roads about the city and of a einder bicycle track to Whitmore Lako led to some discussion which showed how stront is the feeling among wheelmen especially for better roads, The matter of securing, if possible, the adoption of an ordinance granting certain privileges to wheelmen in the use of the sidewalks, except on certain business streets, during bad weather, was also discussed. It was stated that such privileges were granted to wheelmen in almost every other large city in the state, and that it was no more than just that wheelmen in Ann Arbor should have the same privileges. As proof that there is comparatively no danger from the use of the pavement by cyclers, the campus walks wore cited. Here the walks are used by more pedestrians than any others in the city. On these walks wheelmen have perfect liberty, yet no one ever hears of any accidents. Before ;idjourning, blanks were passed upon which all who vvished to join the club were asked to write their names. Almost everybody in attendance did so. The officers of the club are: President, Dr. Carrow; Vice Presidents, H. X Brown, Mrs. J. N. Martin, and Dr. Fitzgerald. The constitution provides for a council of fifteen members, the lollowing members of which were nominated by a committee: V. C. Vaughan, E. E. Calkins, P. C. Freer, Robort Phillips, F. H. Warren, Mrs. J. V. Sheehan, F. Stofflet, M. C. Wood-Allen. K. I). Campbell, J. H. Drake, C. G. Darling, S. A. Moran, E. L. Seyler, Charles Davis and Mrs. J. H. Reighard.
