Considerable interest is manifested in
the performances. of Walter Foster, the
Olympic Club racer, and Allan Jones, the
pride of the Garden City Cyclers of San
Jose, who. are now racing against the
cracks of Southern California in the
"California- Cycle Racing Circuit Con-
| federation" In that word ;'confedera-
ton" I see the pet scheme of Charles
Fuller1Gates at last realized, and indeed
ain told that it was Gates, assisted by T..
II. B.. Varney, who arranged this circuit
OF races. Mr.. Varney is always doing
something like that to assist the sport,
ands deserves great credit for his willing
n ess to always foster anything tending to
add lnterest to cycling.
| This southern circuit as now arranged is
as foHows: Races were held at Santa Bar
bara on Nav Is and at Ventura yesterday,
and will be held at. Pasadena May 20, San
Bernardino May %, Riverside May %,
Santa Ana May 25, Los Angeles May 80
and June /, San Diego June s, Bakersfield
June u, and Fresno June 15. thus making
a tuII months circuit of racing, ten
ID eetings in all, with intermediate DAYS for
resting. Last "Wednesday the first races of
the circuit were run at Santa Barbara, and
as air eady reported, Burke and Castleman
from Southern California carried off all
the honorsin the class B events. Foster
and Jones each won third place. It is
safe to say however, that Trainer Awkward
will have the. Rambler team in splendid
shape very shortly, and then the positions
at the finish may be different. Burke and
Castleman each won a first and second
prize at the Fabiola Mayday fete races last
Saturday, and are in about the best con-
dition of any of the coast class B men at
present
The programme of the southern meets
will be nearly the same, with prizes as
follows, unless changes are made in the
yer medals; two-mile class handicap,
$l05 bicycle-first prize, $40 suit OF clothes
second prize; mile class A, handicap $40
suit of clothes first; prize, SIS bicycle suit
second prize. Mile county championship,
$50 gold medal Mile open class B. sos
