We suggest to the cyclists in tin* city to have a meeting and to deter mine to use only one of the side walks of our streets. If they select, the left side walk make that selection uniform so as to apply to all the streets, and so with the right sdie walk if it is selected- If such action is taken by our cyc lists most pedestrians will soon take to the opposite sidewalk, for they re gret to put good people to the trouble of getting off their wheels just be cause they happen to meet. And until some such arrangement has been made we trust that when ladies are met on their wheels by gentlemen that the gentlemen will step off the side walk and allow the ladies to pass without subjecting them to the in convenience imposed by the ordi nance. — • * —— Unclaimed Letters.
