The club has been placed on a good
footing financially by the success of the
meeting, and extra attractions will be
added to the grounds so as 10 make them
perfect in every particular and equal in
point OF beauty to any of the bicycle
grounds of America. It was estimated
that 5000 people we're present yesterday
when the first race was called.
so far as the racing was concerned the
surprise of the day to the unipitiated was
the fast riding of OltO Zeigler Jr. of the
San Jose r. ad Club. He is "A little fellow,
but the way he did glide away from his
opponents was really surprising. He will

Walter Foster has every reason to con-

never rode we'll before and now holds
the two-mile league championship. He
has not yet reached the limit Of his speed
and may yet cnt several seconds off the
fine time he made yesterday.
George Osen was out of luck. He is a
very powerful man, and in starting out he
pushed too hard on the pedals. bending
one of the crank-pins and putting himself
out of the two-mile race, in which he
would have been a formidable competitor.
