NH[ELMEN WILL GATHER
TO DECIDE THE BICYCLE TRACK
TOMORROW NIGHT.
Bicycle Association May Be Formed
Prominent Citizens to Be Interested
In the Aforementioned Aid.

The wheelmen of the city with gath
err in the Chamber of Commerce hall
tomorrow night to consider the propo-
sition of establishing a bicycle track
and grounds in Kewalo addition.
Should the matter be decided upon
favorably, steps will be taken immed-
lately to organize bicycle association,
having for its purpose the promotion
of cycling interests in Honolulu.
In September last, previous to Nj
c. S. Desky's departure for America,
there was submitted before mass
meeting of wheelmen, a plan to build
a track in Kewalo. A committee con-
sisting of Lorrin A. Thurston, Emil
Berger, William w. Harris, j. S. Mar
tin, c. II. Clement, and Charles Crane,
was selected to confer with Mr.. Desky.
This the committee has done. 1t
secured proposition from Mr.. Deslly
which will be presented at the meet.
ing tomorrow. A tract of land consist
ing of over eight acres, lying on the
mal<a side of Kewalo, is offered foc
$4,000. less per cent for cash. Mr..
Desky is also having built on the land
a large lake which will be located in
side of the bicycle track. In the cen
ter of the lake is miniature island on
which it is proposed to build oand
stand and to erect the highest flag
staff in the city. By the purchase Of
Hustace avenue Mr.. Desky has also
shortened the approach to the park at
least a quarter of mile.
The committee is favorably i'm
pressed with the Improvements that
have been made on the land. The plan
that some of the wheelmen who are
DESTROYS of seeing the schem" go
through, is to incorporate an assocla-
ton with a capital stock of 5000.
This amount, they say, is sufficient to
purchase the tract and will also build
fast third mile track, erect a grand
stand, band stand and build fence
to enclose the land.
The stock, they argue, can easily
be disposed of. One of the committee
gave it as his opinion that Messrs.
William G. Irwin, L. A. Thurston, W..
A. Kinney and other prominent cit
liens who have taken to the ''biH
would be willing to assume large
bulk of the stock. Mr.. Thurston says
he will endeavor to raise $4,000 of the
amount provided an organization is et-
fected. 1t is proposed that the stock
be issued in lots as small as SIS, in
order that all may be able to assist in
raising the funds.
At the meeting the expressions
of all wheelmen will be asked for. 1t
is quite probable that definite steps
will be taken to get the movement
well along.
Mr.. Desky will attend the meeting.
