The split in the Imperial Cycling Club,
as exclusively announced in THE CALL
Thursday, is liable to result unfortun ately
for that big organization if the breach is
not soon healed. 1t seems that the majority
of the members favored George 2. Wetmore
for SuperiE tendent of Streets, but a few
were working hard for Ambrose. As the
club is a member of the Wheelmen's Mu-
nlcipal League, which had indorsed Wet
more, most of the m EN- bers were in favor
of STAYING by their flag, and naturally re-
sented the efforts OF few to create a feel
ing against Wetmore in the cluD and thus
aid in his defeat. The president and vice
president have resigned and coed many
of the N embers are thinking of doing the
same.

among the wheelmen here, and has gained
considerable prominence both as racing
man and as a scribe. He holds the record

wards road not long since. His departure

If you cannot withstand the cbillinp
winds and the cold weather of winter and
are determined to abandon the wheel un-
til next spring give it some attention and
do not toss 1t in a corner. Go over every
part of the frame with vaseline and then
wrap the machine in rags or In one of the
paper envelopes for the purpose, which
can be purchased in any city. Then hang
the wheel up in some dry, out-of-the-
place, and when you take il out next

is to-day. With the temperate climate of

while to put ones wheel away at all, as
some most enjoyable riding can be had in
the dead of winter when the weather is
clear.
