The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-05-11

handicaps have already been published,
and there is no change in this respect ex-
cept that the recent departure for the East
of E. C. Bald and W. A. Terrill, the class
B flyers, who had intended to ride, leaves
them out of the race. but there will be no
lack Of good class men on the track.
The management of the races held at
Santa Rosa last Thursday was excellent,
and the success of the meet was largely
due TO the untir1ng efforts of President
McGregor. Secretary Brooks and l.. w.
Burris of the Santa Rosa Wheelmen.
Captain A. c. Thornton has called a run
of the Olympic Club Wheelmen to Peta-
luna tomorrow. If the present warm spell
continues this will be "scorch" in a diff
ferent sense from what the wheelmen IN
derStand it.
The California Cycling Club recently
held its semi-annual election of officers
with the following result: w. 0. Johnson,
president; ]. w. Harvey, vice-president;
H. f. 'Wynne, recording secretary; D. J..
Wren, financial secretary; A. n. Karl
treasurer; William Reid, sergeant-at-arms.
The road officers continue the same, be-
ing elected for yearly terms. Captain
Burke announced that there will be no run
tomorrow, but instead tie club will run
another of its one-mile handicap races on
the Central Park track, open to club mem
bers only. This is the third of a series and
the three winners will then race among
themselves to decide who shall possess the
prize offered by the club.
The local railroad and ferry companies
should have the attention of the officials
of the League of American Wheelmen
now. | hear it is proposed to charge for
the transportation of all bicycles shortly.
On the steamer Piedmont cyclists are no
longer permitted to stand with their
wheels on the forward deck outside the
rope, which has always been a great con-
venience, as the riders were the first off the
boat and did not have to wait until all the
passengers had disembarked. An or
dinance at San Leandro, requiring
riders to carry lighted lanterns through
that town, also deserves attention. Re
Gently several parties have been arrested
and fined S. for a violation of this law,
which they did not know was in effect.
However, there is way around this. If a
rider does not dismount in San Leandro,
but keeps on his way along tie county
road, he will not be molested. If you are
on the county road going through with
out stop, the Constable has no right to
stop you. But he takes delight in round
ing up all unwary cyclists who stop for a
rest or refreshment, and at the rate of S. a
time such luxuries come high.
J. c. Crooks OF Haywards and J. NJ.
Hamilton have been added to the roll OF
the Bay City Wheelmen.
The Liberty Cycling Club will have a
run tomorrow to San Mateo, principally
to witness the Imperial Clubs roadrace.

The club emblem, formerly a torch and
crescent, has been changed to a liberty
bell which is more in keeping with the
name of the organization.
The Garden City Cyclers of San Jose
have a club run to-day to Oakland to wit
ness the races. They will come up in
charge of Captain Delmas, paced by the
Seybolt brothers on a tandem, and expect
to make very fast time. Under the same
conditions, six members of the club made
this trip on Mayday in two hours and ten
minutes, actual riding time, which is
pretty fast going for forty-three miles.
The Oak Leaf Wheelmen of Stockton will
shortly go out of existence. All the clubs
furniture and property has been sold to the
Stockton Athletic Association, which will
occupy the wheelmen's old quarters on
June 1. However, Robert Inglis, once
president of the club, writes me they ex.
pect to organize a live wheeling annex in
the association composed of all the OLD
members of the wheelmen and many new
ones. he local wheelmen here always
had a fancy for Stockton, and delighted
TO Visit ana race there at least once year
and after the change has taken place some
arrangement for a meet will be made tC
which the cyclists from all the bay cities
will be invited.
