WHEEL NOTES BY DEMON.

Some Dunedin Cycling Club men were away for a spin on Saturday. The new reardriver was being tested on the South road, and as a result of the satisfactory conclusion it is probable that more of the club members will go in for " Rovers.'' Football is losing hold of its votaries now, and by the end of the month cycling will again reign supreme for the summer. The Pioneer Bicycle Club held their tenth annual meeting on August 30. There was a good attendance of members. The report and balance sheet brought up showed that the club has a cash balance of £120 9s sd, and with assets, of £187 12s lid ; a very satisfactory state of things. The election of officers for the ensuing season resulted as follows : — Patron, His Excellency the Governor; president, Hon. E. C. J. Stevens; vice-president, ; captain, H. J*.
