about to be restored in this ctate. The
California organization has been recog-

tary Fred Hawley Of the New South

a. G. G. officials as follows: 1.-THE exec
utive committee. League Of New South
Wales Wheelmen. has adopted y resolu-
:tion to the effect that 1t will accept en-
tries from any American riders Of good
standing In the California Associated
Cycling Clubs. Though we have no
Sunday racing in Australia, being for
tunate In having the Saturday half
holiday and eight-ho,,r law generally
observed, we can understand that in
your part Of the world where you have
no such concession that n different OBJ
servance Of Sunday may obtain We
have had a number Of English ana
French racing men here and of course.
we are aware that they have raced on
Sunday In France We will be glad TO
receive the American riders, who viii
nnd plenty Of racing until April next in

Copies Of the report Of President Orr
of the Canadian Wheclmen's associa-
tion. which resulted in the recognition
OF the c. A. G. c. by that organization
have been received here. He said In
part: III the league does not indicate
at an early date that 1t is its intention
70 actively assume campaign on the
Pacific coast or treat with the Califor-
mia association whereby the many riders
whom they have suspended and thus
prevented coming into Canada can be
reinstated, then would advocate rec
ognition Of the association.
4, II think II would be distinctly to the
benefit Of our association to do 30, for
the reason that the whole coast, United
States and Canada is 30 far removed
from the east and it's bicycle racing cir
cults that 1t would give our coast dlvi-
.ol0na an opportunity Of bringing In their
neighbors and swell their gate receipts.
Aniliated as we are with the Interna-
tional Cyclist association. an Organiza-
tion composed Of associations. some of
whom allow Sunday racing, I ean sec
no reason why the California associa-
tion should not be recognized"
