We take this opportunity to remind all freshmen who ride bicycles, that the Bicycle Club has very few members from eighty-eight, and earnestly desires more. Now that the time for riding has come, all lovers of the sport who appreciate a lively run through a pleasant country with a crowd of jolly companions, ought to join the club for their own sakes, if not to support the club. The admission fee to the club is only three dollars, and the member has the satisfaction of knowing that he personally is going to derive pleasure from his contribution, and that his money is not going to an organization in which he has only a general interest, as is the case with subscriptions to the college teams. Last year the club took several very pleasant runs, even going on one occasion as far as Newburyport. This spring there will be several runs by the club, and possibly one or two long ones, where the riders will be gone a day or two. During the fall, we are well aware, there are not very many opportunities left for riding by the time a freshman finds out what sort of a place he is in, and what are the various athletic organizations which Harvard supports, and it is very likely for this reason that eighty-eight has so few representatives in the bicycle club; but this spring the freshmen are informed, and will, we hope, join their fellow bicyclers in the college. Eighty-eight has several remarkably good riders, and among its two hundred and fifty members ought to have more than the beggarly number of five, the present number of its members, in the club. Eighty-seven last spring, had about three times as many representatives in the club. The secretary will take the names of those who wish to join the club, at 28 Hilton Block.
