WlbllcSS lHt TOdNl race dI i1dyWdruS LO-IuOT-
row-one detachment leaving San Jose at
80 A. NJ, thus allowing three hours in
which to leisurely ride to Haywards, in
charge of Lieutenant Edwards. The Sec
ond division, in charge of Captain Carey,
will start at 80 A. NJ. (to give the scorchers
chance) The invitation wisely says:
'All members who prefer a comfortable
trip should be ready to start at 7:3O
o'clock" and, as Goddard would say,
That's no josh, " for with Carey leading
and several tandems doing the pacing it
will be ride for life, almost, to keep up.
After the road race the club will ride to
Centerville for dinner.
The Crescent Road Club will ride to Hay
wards tomorrow to see the road race, TAX
ing the 9 o'clock creek-route boat. The
club had very enjoyable run last Satur
day and Sunday to Santa Rosa.
The Royal Cycling Club is soon to have
an election, and nominations Will be made
next Tuesday night. The club, of course,
will have a run to the finish of the road
race tomorrow, having five men entered
in the eYent-Fred Schone, A. Cooper,
Joseph Lubin, Guy Frost and Irving
Frank. The club is going to form a base
ball nine, having among its members that
many clever players of the National game.
The following are newly elected members:
Fred Schone, John Stafford, A. Lyons and
John Curry.
Lewis W. Fox of Los Angeles is in the
City on his way home after an Eastern
trip. He will be remembered as the rider
who came up here in 1898 and had things
practically his own way, winning as he
pleased. Even the old warhorse Foster,
who was sadly out of condition then, had
to admit that Fox was very speedy. He is
doing but little racing now, confining him
self to business. He IS representing the
Fowler in Southern California.
Captain Fred R. Butz of the Olympic
Cylers whose picture is presented to-day,
has not been wheelman for a great while.
but has long enjoyed an enviabIe reputa-
ton a a champion al-round athlete. He
is handsome fellow, as you can see by the
picture, of herculean build, heighing over
200 pounds-just the sort of man to lead
the cyclers, large percentage of whom
are heavyweight athletes. Captain Butz
enjoys the good will of all his followers,
and his friends in this City are legion.
The San Francisco Road Club will soon
move into its new quarters at 528 Golden
Gate avenue, and will then be very COM
fortably housed for the winter. The club
is increasing in membership constantly,
and is in very flourishing condition.
The Olympic Cyclers have no run called
for tomorrow, but Sunday week they will
have q picnic run to Millbrae, and after
the lunch some impromptu road races will
be run off to decide questions OF speed
among the members. The one between
Charles F. Morel and w. Henshaw Stinson
promises to be very interesting, as also the
race between ]. W. Coffroth and Thomas
S. Mulvey.
THE CALL Bicycle Club will have run
to Haywards tomorrow to witness the
road races, leaving on the $50 A. NJ. broad
gauge boat. A road race among the mem
bers is proposed, and if the handicapping
can be correctly done 1t should prove very
interesting.
have run called for tomorrow, but if SO it
must be very select, for | can hear nothing
of it. If the secretary would bury few Of
his petty personal grievances and send the
press notices of the clubs runs it might
be better for the latter. 1t is only by con-
slant personal inquiry among the mem
bers that anything can be found out about
the clubs doings, which are few enough at
best, and yet the complaint is made that
the O. G. w. is not given as much promi-
nenCe as other clubs. There is no intent
to slight you, gentlemen; only put US on
your mailing list again, and don't let our
name be taken off this time, and We'll at
tend to the rest.
On Monday evening, October 81, 1895, at
O'clock there will be a meeting of repre-
sentatives from each Cf the bicycle clubs

the opinions and desires of the wheelmen
of San Francisco.
1t is the desire of the organ lied wheel
men of this City to effect the pa ssage and
enforcement OF such an ordinance as will
accomplish the end desired by all good
citizens and at the same time preserve
those rights and privileges which they
claim in common with the drivers of other
vehicles.
The ladies' annex of the Liberty Cycling
Club will have run through Alameda to

season closes.
