will provide for all amateur races, except
couple OF Chinese events. There are to be
no professional races, as there are not
enough men in that class on the coast at
present. The events are as follows:
Thursday, March 5-One-mile scratch. invi-
tation; one-mile scratch, open; grand Oriental
handicap, one mile lChinese); ten-mile club,

patches from the East yesterday which
made him conclude he would return there
at once, so he left last evening on the Sun
set limited train. The local wheelmen did
not see as much of him as they would have
liked, though great many called upon
him at his hotel and enjoyed few mo-
ments'. chat. He could not say what his
future movements would be, but thought
he might 60 to France about the end OF
April.
