The racing at San Jose on July at
tracted the greatest attention the past
week. J. E. Edwards of the Olympic Club
Wheelmen surprised his most ardent ad-
mirers by his wonderful bursts of speed.
Wells, the Bay City crackerjack, was in
splendid form and won both class B events.
By the cheers he received one would think
he was a resident of San Jose, and his vic
tories were surely very popular. Captain
Delmas of the Garden City Club has not
raced for several years, but decided to try
his hand at the game again, and showed
he had not lost his speed, by winning the
one-mile handicap class A quite handily.
The accident in which Byrne and Langue-
tin fell was quite unfortunate, but both are
receiving the best of care and will soon re-
cover from their bruises.
There will now be lull in cycle track
racing for some little time. In fact it
seems improbable that there Will be any
nf
State prior to September g. when the Gar
den CITY Cyclers will hold another meet at
San Jose This will be big affair and
will doubtless draw the best racing talent
of the State. It is possible, also, that some
of the Eastern men may be here about that
time, in which event it would be doubly
interesting.
The Acme Club Wheelmen will hold a
ten-mile road race over the Fruitvale-
Haywards course on July %. This will be
a big event, as the AGNES are noted road
riders, and it would not be at all surpris-
ing if they lowered the existing record.
Captain John Kitchen Jr., J. W. Wright,
c. ]. Hannan and ]. H. Greeley of the
Acme Club Wheelmen will start next week
on a wheeling trip to Lake Tahoe, and will
be on the road two weeks.
The Golden City Cyclers spent July at
Sonoma as the guests OF the Sonoma
Wheelmen. They returned Friday morn
ing. having had delightful time.
There will be big wheeling event in the
East early next week, the occasion being
the annual meet of the League OF Ameri-
can Wheelmen at Asbury Park, from
July to 13. As there will be several pop
ular Californians contesting with the East
erners the reports of the races will be
watched with interest. From all accounts
E. C. Bald of Buffalo seems to be the star
class B rider on the National circuit this
ho6 h. 4of arrff lra0h Of ho
way when he races against such men as
Cabanne, Coulter, Ziegler, Dirnberger,
Macdonald or Terrill.
Captain i. L. Korn has called a run of

have Jolly time surely. Last night the
club went on a moonlight run to the
beach.
Captain Paulsen has called a run of the
Pacifc Cycling Club for tomorrow to Cen

tons afforded at Centerville to wheelmen.
The Crescent Road Club members will
take the 5 o'clock boat for Stockton to-
night and ride back tomorrow. This is a
long but very pleasant trip if the roads are
not too dusty. George Thompson has been
elected vice president of the Crecents, vice
II. Hecht, resigned. Captain A. Bearwald
and E. Cohn started yesterday on an ex-
tended trip through Lake County on their
wheels.
The Bay City Wheelmen should have a
merry time tomorrow. AT loss for some
new wheeling trip to take the men upon,
Captain Dodge decided that for once the
wheels should be left at home, and the
members will embark on the sloop-yacht
Annie E for a ride around the bay and out
TO the heads. There will be several invited
guests aboard, plenty to eat and suffi-
cheney of those beverages so dear to the
