The San Francisco call., 1896-05-09

meets at short intervals. 1t is proposed to
hold meet every Saturday afternoon and
evening on the new track at Central Park
and the racers are already beginning to
talk about the great league meet to be held
III Petaluma on July and 5.
To-day the best of the National circuit
meets thus far held will be conducted by
the Garden City Cyclers at San Jose. and
the entry list, already published in The
CALL, shows the names OF some of the
fastest riders in the State. In the profes-
sional events particularly the races and
finishes are expected to be exceedingly
close and desperate, as the men fighting
for money prizes do so with great deal
more spirit than when the trophies were
second-class diamonds and uncertain Jew
elry.
Most of the riders and visitors from this
City who intend going 10 San Jose will
take either the 8:i5 or 10:40 A. NJ. broad
gauge trains this morning, the trip taking
two hours. The railroad has made a
round-trlp excursion fare OF 81 20 for the
trip. good on all trains until Monday,
the 1lth.
Next week there are two particular
events in which the wheelmen will take
interest. First comes the Olympic Cyclers'
entertainment, dance and minstrel show,
to be held at Native Sons Hall Thursday
evening. The Cyclers are one of the most
popular wheeling clubs in the City, and
from far and near their friends will come
to join with them in the merry time to be
had Thursday evening. 1t goes without
saying that the entertainment will be par
excellence, as the club contains many tai
ented Amateurs and can have the pick of
the best in the City, and the dance, which
will be made the feature of the evening,
VIII commence early and end early-in the
morning.
Saturday the National circuit riders will
contest on the Central Park track. The
same men who will ride to-day at San Jose
VIII compete there next week, so that those
who cannot spare the time 10 make the
San Jose trip to-day have yet a chance of
seeing some of this exciting sport right at
home. The San Francisco wheelmen
should support the new track literally as
1t has been greatly needed and will help
the sport and trade here materially.

The suspension of Harry TerriIl of the
Bay City Wheelmen by the racing board
is for the non-payment of fine of $40
levied upon him by Referee Plummer at
the Santa Rosa races last SATURDAY.. Ter
rill feels that the action of the referee was
hardly called for and declares be will not
pay the penalty. The whole trouble is as
follows. The referee placed time limit
on all the scratch events to prevent the
riders from loafng. In some cases where
the limit was exceeded by a second or two
he overlooked it, as il was evident that the
-men obeyed the spirit of the rule if not the
letter. But in one Instance where the
limit was exceeded some twenty seconds
and the race was palpably loaf" he dis
qualified the men in that heat and would
not allow Them TO ride in the final. Ter
rill is then reported to have told Plummer.
in a voice loud enough for every one
around to hear, that he was "bum'' ref
cree and was showing favoritism, where
upon he was at once fined $40, power
given the referee under the new racing
rules. This is the first instance of the
kind on record and the outcome will be
awaited with interest.
