They say it was very holly contested
election and the 1872 votes cast for president
show that large proportion of the mem
bership was presents There is a rumor
that the new directors will arrange for a
club road race at once, though this IS not
authentic. President Spring will make an
excellent officer for the club and no better
choice for the captaincy could have been
made than Mr.. Carey, who is well known
as the editor of that up-to-date sheet
known as Cycling.
The ladies' annex of the Liberty Cycling
Club will have run to Crystal Springs to-
morrow, starting from Twenty-foufth and
Howard streets, at A. NJ.
The Golden City Wheelmen have a
blind run scheduled for tomorrow, des-
tinatlon unknown.
f. G. Lacey and III. E. McCrea, Bay City
Wheelmen, will go East shortly and meet
the National Racing Circuit when it
reaches Denver. They have been training
assiduously for some time past, and hope
to be in splendid condition by the time
they are ready to race.
Tomorrow the members OF the Outing
Road Club will have century ride around
the bay. ii. WhippIe and j. Morrison of
the club made the trip last Sunday; and
report the roads IN splendid condition.
/ guess the Pacific Cyclist has departed
this life, for the little pink-covered
cycling weekly has not been regularly is-
sued since September 5. Some few copies
of the issue of the 18th were given out.
The advertisers did not look upon it with
favor, and as it was never up to date in
cycling news it could not survive. This is
the paper that entered into a dispute with
THE CALLS cycling correspondent some
months ago over Foster and Jones and the
Olympic Club Wheelmen, and retired
from the fight with its colors trailing in
the dust created by its own retreat.
The Liberty Cycling Club has decided to
join the Associated Clubs again, this time
'for keeps" Tomorrow the club will have
run to Camp Taylor. w. Hochna, George
Springer and III. A. Hall have been elected
members. The club is just quieting down
after an exciting election, particulars of
which appeared exclusively in THE CALL
yesterday.
The Olympic Cyclers will have run to-
morrow to the Souther Farm, near San
Leandro,. taking the 8 A. NJ. boat The
trampers annex of the club goes to the
same place half an hour earlier, and they
will join together IN the merry making.
The new wheeling organization in the
Olympic Club, it will thus be seen, has
made itself popular with the devotees of
other outdoor sports, which could never be
said of the old annex. The latter is prob
ably on its last legs now, as since the Full
ler-Hunter regime has been broken up the
better class of members are fast deserving
it to join the Olympic Cyclers. AS the
membership of the latter will be linn
tied to a hundred, however, a good
many who come late will be left out
in the cold, and as Jimmy Coffroth
puts it: "That's the intention. We
can have our pick of the best members
and make the Cyclers what the wheeling
annex should be-a band of young gentle
men interested in wheeling. With linn
tied membership we can close the doors in
the faces of undesirable members. There
will be no factions, party fights or axes to
grind with US. We have no enemies
among the other clubs-we want none.
One of the first things Captain Butt will
do will be to arrange joint run with the
Bay City Wheelmen, that we may extend
the glad hand we have so long been forced
to withhold against our wills just to suit
the whims of a few disgruntled ex-mem-
bers of the old San Francisco Bicycle
Club" To all or which his fellow-mem-
bers surrounding him cried: "Vive la
Olympic Cyclers; away with the wheeling
annex"
