GERS remain in office six months longer

circuit this year but went East last night
to make arrangements for their departure
for Europe early next month. Gleezen.
who will manage the other two, thinks
that these men will stand splendid
chance against the foreign riders and the
Americans now there, and as the prizes
are more valuable he thinks that as pro-
fessionals they will do better than by fol-
lowing the American circuit.
There will be cycle racing at Healdsburg

Some surprise has been expressed be-
cause the entries and handicaps for the
National circuit races TO be held at San
Jose next Saturday under the auspices Of
the Garden City Cyclers have not vet been
published, although the entries closed last
Saturday night. 1t seems that by some
error entry blanks were not sent to the
Acme, Reliance or Bay City clubs-at least
they did not receive any. For this reason
it is announced that entries from members
of these clubs, and from others as we'll.
may be sent to r. A. Smyth, official handi.
capper, 413 Thirteenth street, this City. IN
to noon to-day, and will be received. The
handicaps will be announced to- morrow.
There are already fifty-five entrants for
this meet, and with those of the clubs
overlooked the list should be swelled to
eighty or ninety.
Central Park presents an animated ap-
pearance every afternoon and evening
nowadays with the numerous racing men
training for the meets to be held there
and elsewhere during this month. The
track is fast and its size just suits the men
for training, as they can sprint an entire
lap without much extra effort, the track
being six laps to the mile. The new train
ing quarters are about completed and the
accommodations are as good as can be
found at any track in the State. all that
is lacking is press stand, which the man
agement promises to put in at once.
