cling Clubs will be held at the Olympic
Club Monday evening, March 23, to de-
eide upon the question OF postponing the
relay race one week on account of its date,
April 5, falling on Easter Sunday. Other
matters pertaining to the race will also be
brought rp for discussion. This meeting
is an important one and all delegates
should attend.
Some bright mind, with penchant for
looking up advance dates, and a familiar
ity with the dates of particular religious
services heretofore unknown in wheelmen,
discov cred about week ago that the first
Sunday in April. on which day the relay
race is annually run, would be Easter Sun
day. The large body of wheelmen are in
favor of advancing the date one week this
year. for while they have no scrupleS
against riding the race on that particular
Sunday, it is admitted that in the eyes of
the general public the race will attract
more interest and be more favorably
thought of If not contested on that day.
1t has been suggested some people attend
religious services on Easter Sunday who
may perhaps not go any other day Of the
year, and the relay would serve TO attract
them from their annual devotions.
1t is believed that the date can be
changed, though it will take the unani-
nous vote of every delegate to the asso-
citation to so decide, that being the tenor
of the bylaws. Wheelmen as rule and
particularly organized wheelmen, such as
the associated clubs, are law-abidiug, God
fearing citizens, and they can be depended
upon to do that which is right by them
selves and the public, as they are in the
sport to raise, not to lower it.
Professionalism is gaining in favor.
This information is cleaned from Eastern
press reports. But one thing is noticed,
the National racing board has thus far
received but few applications for sanctions
this time the board was flooded with appli-
cations. Most of the cycle meet pro-
moters are gauging the question before
concluding to offer gold prizes. Shall it
be all amateur or all professional events,
half of each, or what? On this coast it
will largely depend on how many of the
fast riders enter the professional class. 1t
is fact that more interest at
tached to the one professional race at
the recent indoor tournament than to all
the other events that particular evening.
Possibly this was because it was the first
professional race under the new rules but
more likely because of the known ability
of the riders. If most of the class B men
of last year enter professionalism the meet
which promotes the most of that class OF
races is the one which will draw the larg-
est crowds of spectators. There is to be
held in Toledo, Ohio, the coming summer
a meet in which $1,000 in prizes will be
given away in three days racing. most of
which is cash, for professional events.

The Sportsmen' Protective Association
will soon be strengthened by a club of 100
members which was recently formed in
Eureka, Humboldt County. Mr.. Munroe
of Fortuna states that the gun clubs of
Eureka, which are composed of wealthy
men, are gradually taking the duck
shooting grounds about Eureka away
from the sportsmen who cannot afford to
fight them in the courts.
The Protective Association will give
picnic at Schuetzen Park, San Rafael, next
month, and President Ahern says that he
does not know how he can dispose of the
many prizes he has received from friends
of the association. There will be over
fifty gate prizes. The proceeds of the pic
mic will materially strengthen the treasury
of the club, which is now in very -four

Contra Costa County is one of the coun-
