Although we have sev- eral live bicycle agents and a large number of wheels and riders here no sincere effort has been made to organ- ize. If bicycle riding is profitable to the seller or purchaser, or if conducive to health and longevity, or of necessity, then an association should be for riled at an early date. We notice that ether progressive towns are or- ganizing. Let those interested come together, talk the matte; over, organize, elect officers„tdopt uniform snits, and take the most enjoyulOnt out, of this recognised r (-creation. The town could not well have it better advertisement. TRE 24TH OF MAY. Time and agniii we have heard the business men and eitizens of Clinton complain for want of a Queen's Birthday Celebratiou. Now is the proper time to take act ion in order to assure a good day's sport. What, is everybodye business is nobody's business. If there is to be a celebra- tion here action must, be taken. Who will act? The Base Ball, Cricket, Lacrosse and Tennis Clubs might take hold together and Kyr tip one of the greatest demonstrations ever 80011 in Western Ontario. If not collectively or individually, why not the Town Band, Gun Club, all or some of the Societies in town, or the Young Men's flonservative Association ? The Town Council would he justified in encourag- ing such an undertaking. Clinton is too important, a town to allow the 24th of May go hy default year atter year, and we trust, 1890 will not he numbered with its dead predecessors. NEW INDUSTRY. -The Onward Bicy- cle Co. and general repair shop may now he said to he established in the Perrin Block, with Mr. H. L. Brown in charge. A four horse power gas or gasoline engine, iron lathe, drill, etnery and buffer machines have been put, in, and these will he supplemented by a spoke threading machine, braying forge, enamel hake oven, etc., and a full stock of bicycle supplies. The company has secured the agency also for several leading bicycle flrrng. The electrical gas engine is a modern power, of the single acting type. The motive power is obtained by a mixture of air and gas, which is drawn Into the cylin- der of the engine by the downward stroke of the piston, and ignited by an electric spark. There is no boiler, no fire, smoke, ashes, dirt, steam, or water snags!, and it works to perfec- tion. DIE NEWS -RECORD has pleasure in wishing this new industry an ex- (tendedfleld of labor and unmeasured success. 01-01 OIAO DOINetie,44. 0. L.

Howilisoe.--Many personal acquaIntaneee in Clinton will exceedingly regret to learn of the death of M. Hutchison, Esq., of Gode- rich. He was in every settee of the term a broad-minded roan, loyal to his Queen and country and a genuine bene- factor to the town in which he lived. In his death a truly noble heart has been stilled.
