Mercury Cyclists.
The regular monthly meeting of the Mercury Cyclists was held at Wheelmen's hall Tuesday evening, the 21st., there being a large attendance.
It was definitely decided to give a Leap Year hop on the evening of February 14th, St. Valentine's day.
Several new members were admitted after which designs for a club emblem were submitted by several members for adoption by the club. One consisting of an M, from the sides of which emerged the universal bicycle wings, was officially adopted. It was designed by Miss Aline Kahn, a member of the club.
