Lady Cyclers
The exclusive ladies wheeling club, the Oak City Cyclers, is increasing its membership rapidly. The subject of debate now is the style of uniform to be adopted. A committee consisting of Mrs. M. L. Schlueter, Miss Oilie Thilo, Miss Mabel Holmes, Miss Mary Darrah, Mrs William Mason, and Miss B. Bartling, has charge of that very important item. The club will hold its next meeting in their new quarters in the Central Bank block.

The Athenia cyclers, the new ladies' organisation, has made a good start. The club roll now numbers about twenty members.

During this summer we are going to have many pleasant runs."

Some months ago a number of Oakland ladies organized the Oak Leaf Cycling Club, which achieved some fame by its radical stand for bloomers and reform dress. The club was finally disbanded, but the ladies were prompt to organize a successor, which bears the name of "The Athenian Cyclers." This club has a number of prominent ladies among its members....
