ST. Perms. -On Sunday last, June
24th,the younger members of St. Peter's
congregation, numbering 30, received
their first communion. The girls num-
bered 24. and were dressed in white,
with white veils, and wreaths, sashes of
blue, and each one carried a bouquet of
flower. The boys numbered 12, and
were mealy attired, wearing rosettes of
white ribbon on the left side, with • lit-
tle silver medal attached. Maas was
celebrated at 11.30 a. iii., by Father
Watters, who addressed the children,
both morning and evening. Tho cho r

Dsaa Siugat,-As I know you take a
fatherly interest in the "Skids,"and bi-
cycular sport in general, I thought an
account of our first club run might in -
nicest you. Being newly organised, we
felt bound to conform to the ordinary
practice of clubs in having club runs,
LAST SATURDAY Arrsarwox
was selected fel our first ran, and the
locality chosen was, of all others, Port-
et's Hill. I need hardly say that none of
us had ever been there before, and we
knew nothing of the geography of the
place, or weahould Dever have attempted
anythinv so insane as going there on
bicycles. There were
FOUR erAST=Ra,
our worthy President, the Vice Presi-
dent, les Lieut. Mao and myself. The
roan' was out by the Huron Road, and
down the 5th line to Porter'sHill,thence
across into the Bayfield Road homewards,
about 16 miles in all.
WE &PUN OAIL'i ALON }
the Huron Road aide path, until about
opposite the cemetery, when the President
concluded to turn back, being doubtful of
his staying powers. Our subsequent
experience proved that the Doctor was
the wisest man of the party. Shortly
afterwards the road began to get hewerq
owing to numerous heaps of fruit gravel
which had been dumped these, for too
other purpose that we could discover
but to make things
UXP1dA8ANT FOR BICYCLISTS.
In turning aside to avoid one of these
heaps my wheel slid on the loose gravel
and I took • side tall, and in doing so
LANDED ON OUR nOIPPRSSIDn71T,
who was passing me outside at the mom-
ent, and shot Ism, machine and all, into
the ditch. Mac., who was ckme hdtirtd,
came near adding himself to the,tent
shaved dear in time, and snj the
catastrophe. After picking vas up
sed arsnm
eg the {rioe-P's hat ' was
sailing away dowu stream on its own ac-
count, we remounted, and rode on. Oar
next adventure was an abortive attempt
to get past
A Rsb1111 BRtnI
of a horse which we overtook, but it was
no use. Every time we tried to pro him
he manifested a disposition to climb
baokwarda into the buggy and other an-
tic* of • like nature, so we were obliged
to let him keep ahead. As ill luck would
have it, he turned down the very rod
we wanted to go, which was all the more
annoying as it was a lovely smooth gra-
vel road, and filled us with
ROST ANTICIPATIONS
of a hue run, which, however, were soon
doomed to disappointment. As we were
only Iositfg time jogging behind we de-
termined to pass, and the driver oblig-
ingly turned into a gateway for the pur-
pose of allowing us to do so ; but we no
sooner came abreast than the brute made
a frantic attempt to
CLIMB THE OATE
and take the buggy with hint. Failing
in this, he turned and bolted in the op-
posite direction along the ditch and that
was the last we saw of him. I would
here remark that such kurses area nuis-
ance, and have no business on anyres-
pectable read. We had now a spendid
spin for 2 or 3 miles further along the
smooth gravel track, past farm houses,
orchards, grain fields, and shady woods.
The roar to Porter's Hill has certainly
the merit of
CHASMINO 5(1515T.
which when seen from the altitude of a
bicycle spinning along 10 or 12 miles an
hour over a smooth road, possesses a
peculiar charm, and causes a Heeling of
oxhdaratiou and perfect enjoyment,
which only those who fuvo experienced
it can thoroughly appreciate. Along
here we met Mr. R. MeLean returning
to town, who obliging) informed us that
we should come. to a hill or two further
on. I regret to have to say that Mr.
McLean's statement was not marked by
his usual strict regard for truth Had
he said
A NOT STAIN, On TWO 0011.5,
1 he would have been gigch nearer the
mark, as we soon found out. There was
no mistaking them when we got to them.
It was simply Impossible to ride either
up or down. The character of the road
for the last two miles was hard caked
mud, varied by about six inches of hoose
sand. We were resolved to push on,
huweter, and
newt!, LA pialn('iL' 1'Y HILI.
and lawn, pushing our machines before
I us, till wo arrived at a crone road which
we presumed led to themuch de•ired Poo
I ter's hill. Feeling somewhat thirsty we
adjonrned to a neighboring pimp to re -
too limp for utterance. Our bright
hopes of lemonade (with a possible stick
lin it) to refresh us after oar toils were
cruelly dashed to the ground. We turn-
! ed away in bitterness of spirit, and
nTARTED HOMEWARDS.
I The nod from here across to the Bay-
field rood was of a variegated character,
an occasional piece (t good road and the
rest loose gravel, which it was impossible
to ride through. The Bayfield road,
however. was much better running, most
of it being level and fair wheeling. The
homeward run presented no features of
special interest. We arrived home after
3 hours' absence, hot dry and dusty, and
made for the bar, when the obliging Dave
at once concocted some iced lemonade,
of which we each diaposd of 3 schooners
in succession, with surprising quicknesr,
and the following resolution was

Resolved -That we never again run t,

does not possess a hotel at which the
