popular pleasure resort Among the
''scorchers" belonging to the club. A.
Alcayaga, L. A. Vidy, j. Leikins and
L. Vidy are notable both for speed
and endurance. Alcayaga has trained
a little too hard for the Alameda races,
and. although he is entered for the
one mile State championship and the two
mile handicap. it is doubtful whether he
will appear on the track IN racing costume
to-day. Were he in good form. however.
lie would not be found far behind the lead
ers. The Century run made by ten mem
bers of this club last Sunday is an event
not to be overlooked. for better time has not
heretofore been made by similar number
of riders belonging to one organization. As
a popular member of the Orientals re-
marked the other day, 'the boys don't go
in for style, but they know how to ride.
The officers OF tine club are as follows:
President, ID. p. Dalan; secretary, +. Han
sen; captain, l.. A. VIdy; first lieutenant,
w. McGrew; second lieutenant, NJ. GTlt-
fifth. The uniform IS black, with star and
crescent on the cap, and the club colors are
red, white aud orange.
THE RACES AT ALAMEDA.
The event Of the season in cycling circles
will be the races to-day on the new track of
the Alameda Bicycle and Athletic Club.
Never before have our wheelmen had an
opportunity of testing their speed GU so
perfect course and IL Will be wonder (
all coast records are not broken. Nearly
every section Of the State is represented in
the long list of entries and ID will be no easy
task TO pick the winners. Nevertheless, a
few representations, based partly on per-
sonal observation OF the men in training
and partly on the judgment of expert wheel
men, may not be without interest. OF
course, nothing IS certain under the
sun and every forecast may be re-
veTsed by unforeseen circumstances. The
first event on the programme is the one
mile safety novice race, for which there are
q entries. This viii be run In four heats.
In the FIRST Brown and Toepke should finish
IN the order named. The second is likely
to be taken by Davis and Hudson. Faux
ner and Maxwell stand good chance in the
third, and the fourth looks like Neece and
DelmaS. For the final Brown, TOepke and
Neece should make the pace hot
Then comes one Of the events OF the day,
the One-mIle safety State championship.
In the first heat Frank Waller, ''the Flying
Dutchman," Will undoubtedly cut out the
pace, and If his muscle can master his
high.geaTed wheel, Grant Bell will have to
hustle 10 come IN first. j. {. Smith Of the
Garden City's VIII make it warm tor Stod-
daTd for second place. The second heat is
almost conceded TO Foster. with Ives very
close up. For the final Foster is a Slight
favoriie over Bell.
The three-mile ordinary State champion
ship Is thought by many to be between
Upset and Luud, but II. Smith and Mar
shall will not be far off al the finish.
In the first heat OF the two-mle safety
handicap Ives and Edwards are fayorites.
Foster IS not likely to start. so Needhaun
and StOddard will try to keep out Of
Toepke's way. Brown and j. {. Smith
have about equal chances for the third,
with the final very much in doubt
The two-mile ordinary handicap may be
between Upset and H. Smith, but Epson
is a dangerous dark horse.
Upset is expected to beat Lund by a
small margin in the special one-mile ord-
nary.
The ive-mile safety scratch race will be
an exciting event. Foster and Bell will
again meet. They are thought to outclass
the FIELD and he best guesSer is most likely
to pick the winner.
Run TO MOUNT HAMILTON.
The san Francisco Bicycle Club had a
most enjoyable run TO Mount Hamilton yes
teIday. Only 10 members went. but con-
sidering the length OF the trip this is doing
quite well. Starting from this city on the 3
z. NJ boat Saturday, Smith Creek was
reached at S:15 p. NJ, some of the boys re-
naming there, while others kept on TO the
observatory, returning about II; 80 p. NJ to
Smiths. Every one was UP ana ready for
an early start home, and the mountain air
and fiue roads and scenery was fully apprec-
ated 4 merrier patty could not be i'm
agined than was presented by the BOYS fly
ing around the shaTpest curves, down the
mountain road, singing the club song, ac-
cOmpanied by occasional bursts OF admiTa-
ton as turn In the road revealed some new
view OF peculiar beauty. As he boys got
down into the valley the wind Was blowing
so strongly that the majority of them de o

train, while she others pumped up against
wind and dust. Pneumatles were given a
test as hill climbers and were not found
wanting. The only accident which oc-
CURED was the breaking OF the frame of one
of the wheels which is trifie, considering
XII the wild riding which was done.
