This is the largest entry list the velo-
drome has ever had, and the class of the
riders is also the highest. There is not
crack rider or speed merchant of any
importance here who is notentered.
The sale of seats for the meet opened
yesterday noon at Sherman & Clay's, and
great many were called for during the
afternoon. There will be an immense
crowd in attendance at the meet and club
enthusiasm will run high, especially with
the Olympic. Bay City, Reliance and
Acme men when Russ, Kenna, Mott and
Squires meet in the amateur events
In the professional events Whitman
will win the Veiodrome shield race if he is
right, and big Charley Wells is riding in
such vastly improved form TO what he
showed on Christmas and New Years day
that the others W iii have great trouble in
taking his measure. The men have all
had two weeks training now and are in
better racing shape than at any time since
the Velodrome opened, and for this rea-
son alone Saturdays events are expected
to be more exciting and more hotly and
closely contested than any yet held here.
At its regular meeting last Tuesday
evening the San Francisco Road Club de-
cided to incorporate. and elected the fol-
lowing eleven directors to serve for the
first year: .. r. Sterling, A. w. Wehe,
e. Comyns, M. Meyer. /. f. Morris, J. Sill
verman, ]. ]. OMalley, E. Lewis, Ed
Sands, l.. Schoenfeld and Charles A. Ban
tel, the first five named being respectively
the president, president. secretary,
financial secretary and treasurer. 1t is
expectei that this move will greatly
strengthen the club. The officers are nov
looking for new clubhouse somewhere in
t vicinity of Golden Gate and Van Ness
avenues, the present one at 500 Golden
Gate avenue not being large enough for
its lately increased mem bership. Captain
Lewis has called run to San Jose for
next Sunday, also one to the Velodrome
tor the saturday afternoon races day after
tomorrow.
