There are two important cycling affairs
scheduled for Tomorrow, both fye-mile
road races over the straightaway course
from San Mateo to San Carlos, to be run
by the Olympic Club Wheelmen and the
Imperial Cycling Club. The former has
thirty-five men entered and twenty will
ride in the ImperiaPs race. The entries
and handicaps for both have already ap-
peared IN The CALL. As will be noticed
by the foregoing schedule many of the
other clubs have called runs to witness the
two events, which, by the way, will be run
between 2 and 8 o'clock P. NJ, and the
starting and finishing points will doubt
less be thronged with wheelmen. Most of
them will ride down early in the morning
and the various contestants will take the
train. 1t is confidently expected on every
hand that either Walter Foster in the
Olympic race or Frank Byrne in the I'm
perial's will ride faster than the present
coast record of II :03, made by P. G. Alex
ander June &c. 1895, over the same course.
Captain J. J. B. Argent has called run
of the Camera Club cyclists to San Jose
via San Leandro for tomorrow. Members
will take the 9:15 A. NJ. narrow-gauge boat.
The roads at present are in such condition
that the ride will be paratively easy,
though over forty miles will have to be
covered. a moderate pace will be set, so
that every member can keep up with the
baggage" Lunch will be had at Center
vile.
The Liberty Cycling Club members will
escort its ladies' annex on a run to the
park to-day. The annex is growing rapidly
and already has score or more OF MEM
bers. The two divisions should make
splendid appearance in the park.
The Golden Gate Cycling Club, led by
Captain Mass, Will ride to Centerville to-
morrow, leaving on the o'clock broad
gauge boat. The captain has made ar
rangements with Captain Estabrook of the
Diamond Cycling Club of Alameda for a
joint run Sunday, September 1, though
the destination has not yet been decided
upon. It will probably be to San Jose, re-
turning on the steamer from Alviso. The
Olympics made this trip last Sunday. The
clubs emblem has been changed from a
winged shield to a Golden Gate within
a wheel, worked in gold and lavender, the
club colors.
Tonight the Bay City Wheelmen will
enjoy another of its famous euchre parties,
to be followed by an impromptu smoker.
Tomorrow the club will have run to
Golden Gate Park.
the idea that you are doing good thing
for the chain, is the splendid advice offered
by the L. A. w. Bulletin. The parts of a
cham which come in contact with the
sprocket wheels are constantly cleaning
themselves. The dirt on the outside does
no harm except to the looks. Every time
you brush or rub chain you work the
dirt into the joints where it does do harm.
The California Cycling Club will have
club run tomorrow to witness the Olympic
and Imperial road races, leaving the club
rooms at $3.50 A. N. There will also be a
try-out Sunday, September 1, to select a
team to represent the club in the track re-
lay race to be competed at the meet of the
Reliance Club Wheelmen at Oakland Trot-
ting Park on September T..
Captain Korn has called run for to-
morrow of the San Francisco Road Club
to San Mateo, at which the Waveriy
Bicycle Club, new cycling organization
here, will be their guests. The start will
be made from the clubrooms at A. NJ.
After lunching at San Mateo the clubs
will continue on to San Carlos to witness
the finishes of the Olympic and Imperial
road races.
The Crescent Road Club is another body
who will guide their wheels San Mateo-
ward tomorrow to see these two road
