 A touching scene was enacted Tn prominent local club the other evening, when H. Austin Goddard and Edwin $. Battles met for the first time since their memorable match race over the San Le- andro course two years ago. At that time 1t was the event of the month, as both were known as hardy road riders. and bringing them together was the matching of champions Both belonged to the Bay City Wheelmen, and the club members split in their partisanship, one half favoring Battles and the other God dard. A good deal of feeling was en- gendered and considerable sums of money changed hands on the result. Goddard won after hard fought contest, but Battles, though beaten, was not dis graced. and he and his packers sat down to a banquet thirty strong that night, not to drown their sorrows, but to show that they were "easy losers.'
 After that night Battles and Goddard kept out of each others way, and many thought an enmity for life had been formed, but not so. Goddard went East shortly afterward, and returned last week after eighteen months absence, passing through this city en route to Australia. He visited his club and almost the hrst man he met was Battles. Hello, Ed die"; Hello, Austin,' they greeted each other, and with hearty handshake sat down and for an hour rehashed the old story of that memorable ride. And neither would consent to return match.
