• The Moving Month of May

  Abbot Bassett's lead editorial casts Americans as a restless "gypsy Nation" and traces the L.A.W.'s wanderings from its 1880 birth at Newport through Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Chicago to Newtonville as it nears its 40th anniversary on May 31, 1920, interleaved with scrap-book notes on ex-President Chas. J. Obermayer's recovered eyesight, the English wheelmen's war memorial at Meriden, the Haverhill (Mass.) Cycle Club's 30th anniversary, the Antwerp Olympic cycling trials run by Richard F. Kelsey, the Interclub Amateur Cycle Road Racing League meeting, and obituaries of Dr. Henry Sherman Kilby, William H. Gove of Salem and "Reikey" W. C. F. Reichenbach of Topeka.
