The organization is to be known as the Exeter Bicycle Club and in the near future will seek admission to the C W. A. They also purpose holding weekly or fortnightly meets, locally, which matter they will decide at their next meeting. Clerks and Secretaries, who have reports which they desire published in both local papers the same week, will kindly bear in mind that it is necessary that each office be furnished separate copy, in order to insure publication. Copy sent to this office, with a request to send to the Times, is always complied with, but when sant first to the Times it is invariably held over by them until too late for publication the same week, The meaning of common courtesy is unknown to the Times editor when com- pliments of this kind are requested of him, Only last week two articles, the minutes of Hay Council and the Exeter School report were'sent to that office with a request to send them to the ADVOCAms, but neither reached us till after 6 o'clock, when we were ready to go to press.

Weird, ghostly sounds were heard coming from their recess that were crossed between the nolian music ofa breeze sighing through a wire window screen, and a couple of cats tuning up for a gooseberry bush sym- phony in E -flat with boot jack bouquets. .Another compares it as bring a cross be- tween a pig caught under a gate and the bellowing ofa cow that smells blood and paws the turf. At last they were seen com- ing out of the little grove with their instru- ments under their arms, as sheepish az though they had been caught kissing the Bois ill ijg Boijs!, The little chaps can't help Wear- ing out Clothing.
