THE BAY C|TY'S RACES,
The Entries and HandicapS of
Events to Be Run Deco
ration Day.
The Prizes Are Exceptionally Valu-
able, and a Good Meet Is
Assured.

Wheelmen will hold one of the best bicycle
race meetings ever given in this City at the
Central Park track next Thursday, Decora-
ton day.
The entry list, which is herewith pub
ished, assures this. In it will be found
the names of the fastest cyclers here
abouts. From far-away Los Angeles w.
A. Burke and Casly Castleman have come
to compete with the northern flyers, and
they are known to be two of the best class
B men in California.
It will be seen that the prizes are of good
value. They were all bought for cash by
the club, and there are no donations, so
dear to the heart of many clubs holding
races.
The handicapping evidences some eau
ton on the part of Handicapped Smyth,
lest he be too hard ON the scratch men,
but withal is very good. The arrange
ment of the races in heats gives every one
fair chance to get into the finals and win
either first, second or third prize.

dicaps, with the heats in which the various
men will ride:
