The parade of wheelmen last Wednesday
night was about the largest gathering of
the kind ever brought together in this
city. As a rule cyclists are averse to
parading, but where the cause is their own,
as in this instance, they turn out en-
masse, and the effect of several hundred
wheels in line is very pleasing. There was
some comment because the Bay City
Wheelmen did not appear in the turnout.
This club should have been well repre-
sented, whereas there were but three men,
bers in line. In such a movement, where
the direct benefit of themselves and all
other cyclists is concerned, it seems to me
that the Oldest and one of the largest local
clubs should have made some effort for the
good of the cause, and surely it would have
been no hardship for them to have turned
out in body and paraded with the other
clubs for an hour or so.
There is dissention in the ranks of the
Imperial Cycling Club and several of the
charter members have resigned. Still the
club is strong numerically and the loss of a
few members should not affect it. Cap
tain Johnson has called a run for to-
morrow to Niles Canyon, leaving on the
8 A. NJ. broad gauge boat. A special meet
ing of the members will be held next
Tuesday evening. President Tooker has
appointed the following committees: Del
egates TO the Track Association-J. S.
Egan, f. c. Douglas and ]. F. Burns; to
the Associated Clubs-C. H. Dannals, w.
w. Wilson and W. W. Earle. The I'm
perials will have about ten men entered in
the Bay City Wheelmen's races.
The California Cycling Club will hold
the third of a series of one mile handicap
club races at Central Park tomorrow
morning. Two weeks from tomorrow the
winners of the three races will ride the
final. ana the victor will be rewarded with
a medal.
There will be road race tomorrow from
San Jose to Gilroy (thirty miles) between
teams from four prominent business
houses there. The first rider to arrive in
Gilroy scores 20 points, the second 10, and
so on, the last rider scoring one point.
The makeup of the teams is as follows:

Market and Santa Clara streets at AS A. NJ,

The teams are very evenly matched and a
good race should result.
Although the Royal Cycling Club was
organized out of the Crescent Road Club
the latter organization has not gone out OF
existence and is progressing finely at the
old clubrooms, 81 Octavia street. New
members are being admitted at every
