EPISCOPAL BICYCLISTS.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR,"] Sin,—The various opinions expressed in your recent issues of the dignity of clerical bicycling are amusing to ,as on this side of the water, where the clergy of all sects use the wheel, and do not consider their dignity any more compromised when astride a wheel than when astride a horse or walking. The only question of dignity we ever heard of was when a Western Bryanite inquired of his local paper if it were proper to ride his bicycle at the funeral of a distant relative by marriage, provided that he kept at a sufficient distance from the hearse. The long-suffering editor approved of the arrangement on condition that the mourner by marriage should not wear a coloured sweater or a jockey-cap.—I am, Sir, &c.,
Xerkshire, Mass., September 21st. W. G H.
