Fix this textPOPULAR PEOPLE.
Fix this textMr. ROEERT PATRICK.
Fix this textTHE ever-popular Secretary of the Sydney
Fix this textBicycle Club, whose “counterfeit pre-
Fix this textsentment ” appears herewith, is a leading figure
Fix this textin all amateur cycling functions. Courteous
Fix this textand obliging, he has hosts of friends, and not
Fix this texta single enemy. Mr. Patrick is a man of many
Fix this textparts. Those gentlemen who have toured
Fix this textwith him will agree
Fix this textthat as a humorous
Fix this textstory teller he shines
Fix this textbrightest, whilst the
Fix this textladies who have
Fix this textcycled in his com-
Fix this textpany, or under his
Fix this textleadership, will affirm
Fix this textthat he is a most gal-
Fix this textlant and attentive gen-
Fix this texttleman. If such a
Fix this textthing were possible,
Fix this textMr. Patrick would
Fix this textdoubtless, by a una-
Fix this textnimous vote, be elec-
Fix this textted an honorary mem-
Fix this textber of the Ladies’
Fix this textClub. It is to him
Fix this textthey ' turn when a
Fix this textguide, philosopher, or
Fix this textfriend (not to men-
Fix this texttion escort) is re-
Fix this textquired.
Fix this textWith the advent of
Fix this textthe pneumatic tyre,
Fix this textMr. Patrick gave his
Fix this textattention to cycling,
Fix this textand soon became so
Fix this textenamoured of it that
Fix this texthe forthwith renoun-
Fix this textced cricket, although |
Fix this textthat fascinating sport •
Fix this texthad received his un-
Fix this textdivided attention for
Fix this text20 years previously.
Fix this textOur cricketing readers
Fix this textMr. ROBERT PATRICK,
Fix this textHon. Secretary Sydney Bicycle Club.
Fix this textwill recognise in the portrait one who, for
Fix this textmany years was a prominent member of the
Fix this textSt. Leonard’s Club.
Fix this textIt soon became clear to the practical mind
Fix this textof Mr. Patrick that what cyclists were sorely
Fix this textin need of was a reliable road map and guide
Fix this textbook, and for several years he devoted his spare
Fix this texttime to touring, and noting the information
Fix this textthereby gained with a
Fix this textview of compiling the
Fix this text| necessary maps and
Fix this textbooks. Following
Fix this textthe example of Mr.
Fix this textJ. Pearson, Mr. Pat-
Fix this text! rick.- has generously
Fix this text| offered his accumula-
Fix this textI ted data to the Cyc-
Fix this text| list Touring Union,
Fix this text* that it may be inclu-
Fix this text| ded in the ‘‘Guide
Fix this textI Book,” shortly to be
Fix this text: published by that
Fix this textf body. Mr. Patrick is
Fix this texta man eminently
Fix this textadapted to collecting
Fix this textthe information re-
Fix this textferred to above, for in
Fix this textaddition to being an
Fix this texteducated man of high
Fix this textintelligence he is
Fix this textkeenly observant, and
Fix this textabove all is not im-
Fix this textbued with the notion
Fix this textpossessed by riiany,
Fix this textthat the main object
Fix this textcf a cyclist is to ge \
Fix this textover as many miles as
Fix this textpossible in the short’’
Fix this textest space of time. On
Fix this textthe contrary, he in a
Fix this textrational mannei ex-
Fix this texttracts from his bicycle
Fix this texttrips all the joys and
Fix this textbenefits of which they
Fix this textare capable.
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
