A ladies' night will be given in a couple of
weeks. Captain Plummer has called run
to Stockton by boat Saturday evening, Oc-
tober 5, which will doubtless be attended
by all the members and their friends. If
the following Monday is a holiday labor

Chief Consul Melrose tells me the new
league adbook will surely be ready for
delivery by October Is. Several vexatious
delays have held it back longer than was
intended. Mr.. Melrose has worked hard
and earnestly for the completion of this

the end of their arduous task. The new
book will be of inestimable benefit TO all

City Wheelmen's fiye-mile road race last
Sunday, though he had to put forth his
he was riding second to Harry F. Terrill in
class A, which of itself is reputation for
any man. He has not given much atten-
ton to racing of late, except ont the cable
slot going home every morning at 8 A. NJ,
for he WORKS nights for the Associated Press.
He's been doing this so regularly and often
that all the people along his route home
know him, and when dark streak crosses
their vision for a second and soon is lost to
sight in the distance, they think: "Syd
must be late tonight, or else he's training
again."
E. Ross Lozier has been spending the
past week with friends in San Jose, and
doesn't seem in any hurry to return to
business.
On Sunday, October 20, Emil Languetin,
the fast class A rider of the Bay City
Wheelmen, will try for the five-mile coast
