: TRACKS Of THE SOUTHWEST
&A@4A&AAeAAAAAA%A~4e4AAAA'

Five years ago there was but one BIZ
cycle track on the whole broad Pacific
slope. Today there are a score in South
ern California alone, and most of them
are right good tracks, too.
The best dirt track in America is To-
Gated at Pasadena. 1t is almost copy
of the adobe track at Ell Paso, Tex. and
the natural cement track at Salt Lake
City. 1t is much like the famous Dem
yer track and the fine cement track at
San Jose. All the tracks mentioned are
one-thrd of mile In circumference.
PASADENA
The Pasadena taack is built with a
changing spiral so that there is a curve
in every linear foot of the track and the
banking is carried all the way around.
This makes hish speed possible and also
makes a very safe ard e-sy track to
ride. Even rnvice.' say: II can lrde
faster or the Pasadena track than on any
other track know Of" The banking at
the tape is ona foot in thirty-rwo. ard
on the curves it Is one foot in six or about
that.
San Diego has just completed third
| of mile track much like the Pasadena
oval, which will be formally opened on
, the 18th of September.
RIVERSIDE
| The Riverside track is a third of a
mile, but with fiat straights and one
curve smaller than the other on account
of the shape of the piece cf land the
track had to be built upon. This track
might be called kte-shaped, but spec
| tator would not notice the curve unless
his attention was called to it. The grand
stand, training quarters and other con-
verierces at Riverside are almost per-
| feet and better than Is usually found
here or even in the east. Good racing
and excellent management Is the rule at
Riverside and that city has always been
the home of clean sport The old track
there, a quarter mile. was the first BIZ
cycle track in the southwest and the sec
ond on the coast, the first having been
built at Alameda on Sam Francisco Bay.
REDLANDS
Redlands has good third Of mile
bicycle track, but it has not seen much
use on account Of the few racing men
and the lack Of confidence among the
men there who should promote races.
The track is the longest three-lap in the
country, as it's curves are short with long
stretches. The grand stand is good and
the training quarters much better than
the average, while the bleachers are
large and we'll built This track with
fence and all conveniences was the work
Of but three weeks, the two men who

built it and carried out all the quick
work now being far from Redlands.
Secretary Groce is in Mexico in the coffee
business without a wheel, while the
president of the Redlands club at that
time and most forceful, energetic man,
is now located In North Carolina.
SANTA ANA
Santa Ana has a first -class third Of
a mile track, copy Of the famous Louis
VILE r-.,k. s.Nhe Santa Ana track has a
grand surface and is a very fast track
The coast competition record of 2:01 is
held by that track, and many other rec
ords have Le made there although but
three race meets have been held at Santa
Ana. The grand stand is very small and
poor and there are no training quarters.
There is lack of unison in cycling mat
ters in Santa Ana and the track has been
thrown UP twice. II has lately been
taken hold of by newly organized club.

The East Side Cycling club has always
done all in its power for good roads, and
has several times petitioned the city
council for certain Improvements with
good effect.
A well attended hare and hounds chase
was run on March 22d, 1885,
The club won the red banner and $50
in the floral parade of La Fiesta in 1885,
and duplicated the performance in 1897,
making splendid showing in white
duck suits.
On March Gath. 1897, an indoor race
meet was given in Banquet hall, which
was a great success financially and So
cially. The annual century run of 1897
was a success as far as mud was con-
cerned. 1t rained
The ladies' night Of May 10Th, this
year, was so pleasant an affair that the
entertainment committee proposes to

Beginning June 9th last, the E. S. c. c.
established a series of monthly road
runs on the Glendale course which have
been hotly contested and have devel-
oped many hardy riders.
The club was prominent feature in
promoting, in conjunction with the Los
Angeles Cycle Dealers association, the
great race meet Of September 9th al Ag
ricultural park which was one Of the
largest and fastest ever held in the south
west.
The East Side Cycling club is regular
.ly incorporated under the laws of Cali
fornia, owns property to the value of
nearly $1,000 and has in the neighborhood
Of $50 members.
The club is governed by board of
directors, now consisting Of the follow
ing named gentlemen: D. c. McGarvin,
president; C. C. Travers, vice president;
E. C. DockstauSr, secretary; H. H.
White, Harold hawks, Owen McAleer
and A. H. Holmes. The road officers are.
II. H. White, captain; AL Hahn, first
lieutenant, and W. H. Gillespie, second
lieutenant.
The new clubhouse at 163 South Av-
enue Twenty-one is very comfortably
appointed. Unattached wheelmen are
cordially invited to drop in when on the
East Side. LAURENCE WILLS,

ized January IS, 1893, by six East Side
wheelmen. Small as was the beginning.

From the start, the untiring push and
enterprise of the club was shown, for
within month from the first meeting
club rooms were secured and costly fur

Angeles
Club runs were Immediately instituted
and nearly every part of Southern Cali
fornia was visited. The runs soon be-
came famous for the orderly manner in
which they were conducted by the clubs
popular first captain, James T. Cook
For the Santa Monica road race, July
4, 1898, the club offered a handsome sill
yer cup to the first member across the
tape. Alphonse Jay won the cup, taking
fifth position in the great race. Jay
soon afterwards became club captain.
The next stroke of enterprise on the
part of the East Side Cycling club was
the purchase and presentation to the
Southern California division of the L.
A. w. of the magnificent $3.50 challenge
trophy cup, which has been competed for
annually by some of the best club
teams in America. Coast records for the
distance-twenty-fiv miles-have been
repeatedly broken. The Santa Ana
wheelmen now hold the cup on a foul.
With progress always the motto, the
club on January IA, 1894, inaugurated its
since famous annual century runs.
Eighty-two riders competed in this first
run.
On April Z, 1894, road race was given
over the we'll known East Side park
mine and half mile course. Several
hundred dollars in prizes were distrib-
uted to thirty-six finishers.
AT intervals the club gives smokers,
"open to the world and Garvanza :"
which are voted red letter events In the
cycling calendar by the elite of the

the doors.
The East Side Cycling club has always
had a large racing contingent, the flying

victories by such men as Ulbricht, Lacy.

won by McAleer, but much bad blood re-
suited and the matter was before the
national racing board of the. League of
American Wheelmen for three years.
Referee Aliens decision in favor Of Nc
Aleer was first sustained, then the next
chairman reversed it and again 1t was
brought back to the original result.
Then there was the twenty-five mile
paced race between Emil Ulbricht, Fritz
Lacy and Godfrey Schmidt, which was
won by Lacy and new set Of American
records established, although Ulbricht
shared the honor, having taken the
premier miles. There was also the ten
mile match race between Tom McAleer
and Will Jenkins, won by the former;
also some famous team races and much
record work.
SANTA MONICA
There is a fine one-third Of mile track
at Santa Monica, owned by the South
ern Pacific Railway company and ad-
joining their depot. The track was
opened a couple of years ago and has al
ready been the scene Of many a good
race.
San Bernardino built third Of mile
track. copy Of the Denver oval. with
out the banking. 1t was used for one
meet and then discovery was made
that the ground was too low and wet,
and the track was given up.
POMONA
Pomona built quarter mile track for
practice nearly two years ago, and was
going to build third of mile track,
too, but the plan fell through. The new
half mile horse track there makes an
almost perfect bicycle track and one
meet has been held upon it.
Ontario has built two quarter mile
tracks and one is still standing. sue
cessful meet was held on the last one
July 4th, 1895. No other meets have been
held there since.
QUARTZ AND OTHERS

quarter mile tracks that are good
enough for training purposes. The Du-

Of worlds records have been made
by eastern men. Several bicycle
meets were held there in 1895, but drew
small crowds through bad management.
1t was a fast track and the mile record Of
1:39 1-5 was made there by Hamilton.
This was the most valuable record ever
made and the one fought hardest for.
1t stood two seasons and was only brok-
en- a week ago after more than q hun
dred trials. Over $50, 900 has been spent
trying TO lower this record, and Kiser
