The sights around Gloucester, with the exception of those inthe immediate vicinity of the wharves, as spoken of in the fore-going, are not particularly attractive, though our visiting bicy-cling friends may enjoy some of the more prominent of them,such as our public buildings, beaches, pleasant walks and drives,views of ocean scenery from the several high hill-tops, and aglance at the many natural curiosities to be found upon Pavilion Bea:-h.

City Clerk Somes, at his office inthis building, will be happy to give wheelmen any informationsought by them in his department. SAWYER FREE LIBRARY. At the corner of
