This evening, the Bicycle Club will hold another one of its pleasant smokers in the rooms of the captain. Instituted by the management of the '84 club, these occasions have come to be regarded by the members of the club, as an extremely pleasant feature of their connection with the interests of Harvard bicycling. It might be well if some of the other quasi athletic organization of the college should follow the example set so successfully by the Bicycle Club, as by their social meetings, the members become better acquainted with one another, an opportunity is offered for discussion...
