THE WHEELMEN.
Race Meetings at Oakland To-Day
and San Jose Monday.

Race Meetings at Oakland To-Day
and San Jose Monday.
AS is usual about this time every year,
cycling is receiving great impetus on &C
count of the number of race meets and
club runs. The Fourth of July and Ad
mission day witness the greatest events o.
the year on the track, and Monday<will be
no exception to the rule, as the entry list
for the Garden City Cyclers' race meet,
published exclusively in THE CALL Thurs
day, contains the names of all the crack
riders of the State and an unusually large
number of new men who will try their
luck in the class A events, the one-mile
handicap alone having seventy-fye start
ers.
All the clubs have called runs to San
Jose for tomorrow, and by tomorrow
night the Garden City will be full of wheel
men from everywhere within radius OF
fifty miles of that point. On Monday
morning the California Associated Cycling
Clubs will have their annual competitive
parade, for which two $50 prizes are offered
by the Garden City Cyclers-one for the
club having the largest number in line and
the other for the club making the best ap-
L
contested for by clubs belonging to the as
ISOLATION; but for clubs which do not be-
long two prizes under similar conditions
will be awarded, consisting of one year S
dues in the association ($10) to each club.
The parade will start at 10 A. NJ. 1t is stlp-
ulated that it will be necessary that at
least three unattached clubs compete for
the special $40 prizes, otherwise nc awards
will be made.
Clubs desiring special baggage acco m
modations for wheels on trains returning
from San Jose Monday night will report
the same through their captains to Presi-
dent Wynne of the Associated Clubs, stat
ing number OF wheels and division over
which they travel. No special excursion
train will be run by the G. a. c. c., but a
round-triP-ttrEst, good from Saturday
morning to Monday night may be obtained
for 50 at the Southern Pacific Railroad
offices, which is a reduction of so cents
from the regular rate.

pared by r. A. Smyth, for the two handi-
cap events to be run at San Jose:

Mr.. Smyth's handicapping Is improving
with every race meet, and the criticisms
of his work when he first undertook the
position of official Handicapped for the
League of American Wheelmen on this
coast are no longer heard. He is fair and
Impartial, and, as he never fails TO attend
all the races, he is continually in touch
with the condition and abilities OF the
men, and knows exactly how to place
them. The league is to be congratulated
on having such good man in this i'm
portant position, and also in Robert M.
WEIGH, chairman of the racing board,
whose conduct of the affairs of that office
have made him the friend of all-racers,
clubmen and meet-promoteTs alike.
The racing board has issued its bulletin
No. 10, dated September s, 1895, as follows
