Probably the most important event In cycling
in this vicinity this week is the JOINT club run
to-day TO Centerville, Alameda County, of the
Acme Athletic Club Wheelmen of Oakland the
Bay City Nheelmen Of his city, and the Gar.
den City Cyclers OF San Jose. The Bay Citys
will leave here on the o'clock creek-rOuie
boat, landing at the foot of Broadway Oakland
and will Tide to Twelfth and Broadway, where
they Will be met by The Acme Club. From that
point he start will be made at 10 A. N. for Cen
terve, where they viii be met By the riders
from San jose. Dinner Will be had at the Greg
DRY House. and tie return "trip Will be go-as-
you-please race.
There is very friendly feeling now existing
between these three clubs, and II they combine
they will be power which viii control all
cycling legislation. The Oak Leaf " heelmen
of Stockton are known o be "sOlid" with The
q q. nlttg, i,
very good terms with the California Cycling
Club as well they seem to have patched up
nearly ali their old breaches. They SIN feel
somewhat "sole" toward the Reliance CLUB OF
Oakland on account OF the clash in race meets
last May 30, buJ this could be easily smoOthed
over, and If the olympic Wheelmen ana the
San Jose Road Club were brought into the fold
the principal clubs would all be acting in uni
son ana much good would be derived by the
combination. 1t Is doubtful II the Garden
Cities and lie san Jose Road Club will hi oh,
however. and ! am told there is no love lost be-
tween the Bay Cities and OlymUicS.
The olympic Wheelmeu certainly showed
their dislike for the Bay City Wheelmen on the
occasion Of that clubs pa ade last Saturday
night All the ely clubs were invited 10 Jun
the parade and afterward the smoker held AT
the clubhouse. The California Cycling Club
and the Pacific Cycling Club turned out in large
numbers wi h their wheels, aud both made
very neat appearance. The OlymDics, with
membership OF over n hundred, had but two or
three riders IN line. These few were cordially
thanked by the Bay Cities for their kindness in
attending The parade, but The Slight on The part
of the 9th, members OF the club will not soon
be forgotten. For the past year he Bay City
Wheemen have been anxious TO heal all the
old wounds that may havr been Inflicted, and
have offered the hand of friendship 10 every
club on the coast. Their enemies in the ranks
OF the cyclists all accepted the preferred friend
ship except the Olympics. IT is to be regretted
that two such prominent clubs should clash,
but he Bay Cities are old hands at cycling war
fare, and Will give the devOtees of The Flying
O" 4 run for their money they'll never forget.
