It Is to Be Held in Albany the
Second Week in February.
Its Doings will Be Closely Watched by
All Bicyciists-The Race for the Presi-
dency-What Is Expected in the
Way Of Legislation.
Copyright, 1871

The annual assembly of the League
of American Wheelmen, which will be
held in Albany during the second week
of 80 month, will undoubtedly be
the most interesting in the history of
the organization.
During the past year the member
ship has nearly doubled and now
exceeds the combined membership of
all other similar organizations through
out the world. It's annual convention is
naturally of the utmost Importance and
interest to wheelmen.
Notwithstanding its past achieve
ments, comparatively few know the
early history of the L. A. ". or the
men who have helped make it famous.
1t was organized on May 81, 1880,
at Newport, r. l., upon the call of c.
Kirk Monroe, president Of the New
York Bicycle club, who first thought
only to bring as many wheelmen as
possible together for day OF pleasure.
Later it was decided that an organiza-
ton would be of benefit in many
ways, and the scope of the meeting
was considerably enlarged. Delegates
were requested from the few bicycle
clubs then in existence, and a formal
was effected at the New
port meeting.
The name proposed by Samuel T
Clark, of Baltimore, "The League o.
American Wheelmen," was adopted |
and the following officers were elected:
President, Charles Z. Pratt, Boston;
vice president. Thomas K. Long
street. Philadelphia; commander, c. |
Kirk Monroe, New York; correspond
ing secretary, J. Frank Burrill, New +
York; treasurer, Hugh L. Willough-
by, Saratoga.
The objects as set forth in the consti-
tuition prepared by Mr.. Pratt were:

With the rapid increase in the mem.
bers of racing men and promoters the
work of this board has been 50 great
that it is an impossibility for them to
give it proper supervision and the
plan proposed in the amendment is to
have the state racing boards grant
sanctions, make inves LEGATIONS into in
fractions of the rules, and generally to
assume the detail work. In cases
where riders have been guilty of VIC
lating the amateur rules, the local
body will report to the national board
which will be retained, and the latter
will take action. The national board
Will also act as a court of appeals on
decisions rendered by the division rep

those who have favored this PROPOSE
ton are Chief Consuls Potter, Sans,

tional Racing Board Croninger, Robin.

son and Cossum, Treasurer HartwelI,
and a host of others. Students of tho
subject Of racing are unanimous in their
approval.
For some months past the western
and southern divisions have been re-
questing permission to conduct race
meetings on Sunday, and with this end
in view the California and Missouri
divisions have introduced amendments.
In these sections of the country the
subject is regarded more literally than
in the east and there is a unanimous
sentiment there in its favor, but the
eastern divisions are inclined to take
an opposite view. It is probable that
the assembly viii permit Sunday rae
ing in some states subject to the ap.
proval of the board Of officers of each
division.
Another important amendment Is ore
permitting the admittance Of profess
SIGNALS TO membership. This class hes
been denied the privilege, owing 10 =
popular prejudice, but the objections
existing are no longer APP
parent. and many delegates have ex-
pressed a willingness to permit the
passage of the amendment.

be candidate for reelection and will
be supported by the northwestern
states. He has already served two
terms, and his labors have been of so
fruitful nature that he vii probably
be continued in Office. His election
heretofore has been unanimous, a trib-
ute to his ability.
Conway ". Sans, one of the bright
est members of the Baltimore bar, has
been induced to offer his name as a
vice presidential candidate, and it is
probable that he will run on the Potter
ticket with Mr.. Morrison. Mr.. Sans
has accomplished much of benefit to
the south as chief consul of Maryland.
Another who is spoken of in connec-
ton with the vice presidency is W.; j.
Connolly, of Danville, H., known az
the "silver-tongued orator of the
league" from his magnificent orator
ical efforts in past assemblies. He has
not as yet consented to the use Of his
name, but pressure may be brought to
bear which will induce him to become
o candidate. It was Mr.. Connelly's elo.
quence that won for Asbury Park the
honor of the national meet of 1895.
E. S. Hartwell, the present treasurer
and the fourth candidate on the Pot
ter ticket, is perhaps the best known
wheelman in the west. In his home
city, Denver, he has been repeatedly
honored by his associates He holds
an important financial position with
one Of the largest railroad systems in
the country. His official duties during
the past year have been SO performed
as to win the admiration of his entire
constituency and he will probably be
reelected without opposition.
After the election of officers me dc
sembly will have many matters of the
utmost Importance to consider. Amend.
ments to the constitution and bylaws
will be offered which, if adopted. will
materially change the aspect of cycling
matters. Most of these amendments |
have to do with the government of
cycle racing. The most important Of all |
Is one placing direct control within the |
jurisdiction of the racing board of each |
division. Under the present system
the controlling body is the national rae.
ing board, appointed by the president,
and consisting. Of seveD members. |
