II. J. Snow and Jules Noel of ST. Paul.
Mimi, have just arrived here, accom-
panied bv A. A. Charles of this CITY.
Snow aud Noel were mem bers of the
team sent by ST. Paul to the annual turn
fest at st. Louis asst May. After it was
over they started South on their wheels,
riding through Indian Territory and
Texas, touching Dallas, Fort Worth and
Ell Paso. They crossed the desert to
Yuma. Arriving in Los Angeles, Mr..
Noel remained there for nearly a month,
while Mr.. Snow and Mr.. Charles. whom
they met there, went down the coast to
the Mexican border line ard back. All
three tnen started for this City, following
the coast route. They will remain here
about month and then start for home,
going north to Oregon and thence East.
Snow and Noel have traversed over 5000
miles since they started on their wheels
averaging from forty to tlfty miles a Gay
Until they reached Southern California
the roads were so rough they used the
railroad bed most of the time.
President T. J. Winslow of the I'm perial
Cycling Club has not yet received any ac-
ceptance OF his challenge, as published in
IHE CALL last Sunday, to race the presi-
dent of any other club in this City five
miles on the road, President Charles Albert
Adams of the Olympic Club Wheelmen
preferred. Since Mr.. Adams was forced
to lower his colors to the superior daling
procIivities of Frank Fuller a month or
two ago, he has not done any active train
ing. but would like to offer E. F. Russ or
J. T.. Wing as substitute if Mr WinsIow
does not mind. If this is satisfactory. the
match can undoubtedly be arranged for
an early date. Otherwise President Wynne
of the CALIFORNIA; will undou btedly take
on the doughty fiier of the Imperials.
