Fry and Sons, but relinquished active, part therein many years ago, was a keen sportsman. He was of genial temperament, and popular with his acquaintances. As young man he was remarkably good cyclist. That was in the days before the safety bicycle, and on the high bicycle he had a good record successes local and- other events.
