WILL HAVE A WHEELING DIVISION.
The Jersey city Athletic Clubs omcers
viii Organize a Bicycle Branch.
There are many bicycle riders in the
Jersey City Athletic Club, aud a year ago
it was suggested that "A wheelmen's de-
partment or division be established. 1t
met with some opposition as tho majority
of the bicyclists are members of the Hud-
son County Wheeimen and were opposed
TO starting a rivalry between the two iu-
sfitutions. The project Is, however. 10
be advanced as the following which bears
upou the subject is taken from the Out
look, the official paper OF the Athletic
Club
For several months past the President
has been AT work gathering data aud in
formation bearing upon the project OF
establishing wheeling division IN the
club.
1t is proposed TO euter the L. A. W..
thereby Identifying ourselves with u body
which has done more to establish the
rights and privileges Of wheelmen than
any club could do alone. We can enter
the League with any number OF MEN, but
70 secure the privilege of sending q repre-
sentative to the State Board of Officers, IL
is necessary to Law q membership OF at
least twenty. 1t is the desire Of the Presi-
dent 10 make this element a leading
feature.
Therefore, it is urgently requested that
all members owning wheels, and others
who are interested, and have. hesitated
from INDUCING In this fascinating and
nealthfui pastime. because OF the poor
accommodations that have been offered
IN the past, will respond to a call which
will shortly be issued for a meeting Of all
members who are interested in-cycling."
