President Potter Of the League Of American
Wheelmen is not the sort OF man to lose sleep
over any minor compile atoms with other organi-
cations The differences with the National Cy-
clists Union Of England have been settled. OF
the threats Of the Canadian association to re-
taliate because the L. A. w. refuses to sanction
the giving of 1000 special purse for a race
meet Mr. Potter said yesterday: IF Chairman
Mott is right in the position he has taken 1t
would be a bad precedent TO establish. The
position taken by the Canadian wheelmen is
due to -judged conclusions held by few that
Chairman Motifs decision is wanting in inter-
rational courtesy Mr.. Mott is not only cour-
teous. but liberal, and is most painstaking in
his disposition TO oblige everybody. he would
go far and do much to extend a favor to our
Canadian friends. and his failure to permit the
special contest for large cash prize Is DOUBT
less founded the best OF reasons which ne
cannot officially ignore. l cannot for moment
believe that the Canadian association includes
men who are small enough by nature to retail
ate upon the League of American Wheelmen
because one Of our officers. in the honest exer-
| else of his duty. has failed to please them, al
| though he be in error Our arrangements with
| the Canadian customs officials only requires n
| bond or other security filed so that the Cana
| dian Government shall lose nothing by the rule
made for our benefit The Canadian association
has shown us the fraternal courtesy by standing
surety for the l.. A. w. in this custom arrange
ment but this security can be supplied In other
ways, and we shall probably be able to arrange
with the Canadian customs officers to their
satisfaction If our friends in the Canadian asso-
citation should prefer not to continue their friend
" nterposition. Such contingency do not
anticipate
Chief Consul Kireker Of the New-Jersey Divi-
sion of the League OF American Wheelmen Is
said 10 be opposed 10 the pan loI
or rather for the formation of central asso-
citation by the three Associated Cycling Clubs
Of the metropolitan district. He thinks such an
organization would interfere with the success
in this district of the League work Nobody
else has been found who thinks as does Mr.
Kireker in this matter President Potter Of the
League does not look upon the movement In
that light and there are many men prominent
in the local cycling world who hope to see the
plan adopted. p. Anthony Brock, the father OF
the scheme. is one of the most favoraby known
cyclists in the State. He advocated the organi-
2atiOn because he believes ii would be for the
best interests OF the sport and pastime. Mr.
Brock was responsible for the formation OF the
Associated Cycling Clubs of the City Of New
York. He worked for It's success when nobody
else would work and his efforts have been re-
warded by the creation Of the strongest organi-
cation of cyclists that the metropolis has ever
known. The officers Of the three Associated
Cycling Clubs are all interested in the proposed
central organization. and its formation can be
looked for soon.
r. II. Wolff & Co.. Limited. Of New-York
City. makers Of Wolf-American high art
cycles. have just received order for bicycle
from j. w. McKean missionary at Chieng Mai,
Laos Siam. This place Is five hundred miles
from the nearest seaport, and requires two
months navigation in native boats to reach It.
Trustworthy information has been received
that most or the prominent PROFESSIONAL racing
men will follow the New-York State circuit,
which began at Fredonia, n. Y on June 8. and
winding up at Manhattan Beach June 26 at
the meet Of the Kings County Wheelmen. Ray
acDonad. Eddie Bald. C. NJ. Murphy. Fred
Titus Sam Brock and Mertens well as many
Others 1t Is said, will follow this circuit. This
will give the people of the metropolitan district
an opportunity to these cracks ride on June
20. The Kings County Wheelmen do not intend
to lose any opportunity that might assist in
making their meet pleasing to the public With
the important championships to be decided the
special exhibitions. and professional races with
the prominent riders competing. their pro-
gramme is sure 10 be an attractive one. c. I.
Earl Is training hard for his trial against his own
record for two thirds OF mile ard will undoubt-
vorable The Kings County Wheelmen quad
teams also training for this trial and recently
made the distance in ITO 10, which Is a good
indication for a record breaker. Entries are
coming in fast and it is probable that as many
men will be entered as last year by the time the
entries close.
Cyclists Of the metropolitan district who enjoy
good contests Of speed will have the best OPP
portunity Of the season the afternoon Of
July 3 to witness two races of an exciting and
novel character The contests will be held over
the Irvington- Millburn course, and the thou
sands of wheelmen who were prevented from
witnessing the great Memorial Day contest on
account Of the bad weather will have what
will probably prove to be the last opportunity
of seeing contests between local favorites over
this course The race that will excite the most
interest will be tandem handicap at twenty
five miles the first of its kind ever held in this
co Intry There will also be a fifteen-mile handi-
CAP Both races are open to all amateur riders.
and entries which close on June 20. can be
