WHEELMEN WILL BANQUET. Olympic Cyclers Will Celebrate Their Demise.

The Olympic Cyclers, having lost their identity by amalgamating with the Olym- bic Wheelmen, have decided to expend the large balance left in the treasury on a banGliet to be held at Delmonicos next Saturday evening, and thus to fittfngly clese the old year and also the career or a club which in it's prime held the palm for hospitality and good fellowship: Doubtless all the old members will attend the festivities. and few invitations have also been issued to friends of the organi- zation.
 The Bay City Wheelmen will start the new year in a good cycling way by tax ing a run down to San Jose, and Captaln Meme already has list of nearly two score who are going. They will remain over the following day to see the races.
 The entries for the San Jose meet nave closed, and are now in the hands or Handicapper Smyth, who will announce his allotments to-day or tomorrow.
 Wilbur F. Knapp and Brick Kuhn, two well known travellers, dropped in uneX- pectedly at the Bay City smoker Monday night and received a. warm welcome home. Both brought their usual fund of new stories with them, and helped to while away the time relating them. The affair was one of the best the club has ever given.

practice, together 1t was agreed to make last nights contest practice game, and to hold the first game of the tournament between these two teams on some early date. The Polliwogs, with Hinkel as captain, had the best of the game, SCOT ing four goals to their opponents two.
 The handball try-out will be continued on Friday night, when Mallon and Duffy will play against Morton and Eagan, and Bush and Bowman will try conclusions with Harrison and James. The try-out Is held to decide which two teams shall represent the Olympic Club in the tourn- ament to be held in January between rep resentatIves of the Acme, Encinal, Reli- ance and Olympic clubs. Each team rep resenting a club will play every other team (except the one also representing it's own club at both it's own and its op- ponents' courts. The schedule will be ar ranged in such a manner that the two teams of one club shall visit one of the other clubs on any given night, and there play both teams of the home club, mak- ing four games of 51 points each during the evenings play. The home club on this occasion will on subsequent even- ing visit it's opponents club.
 It is proposed to hold a ladies' night at the Olympic Club in February of next year An indoor baseball game will be one of the attractions presented.

Defeated Myth in Very
 Fast Time.
MANY UPSETS AT OAKLAND
POLKA WON EASILY AT LONG
 ODDS.
Guilder the Only Winning Favorite Midlight Ran Rings Around Her Field - Imperious Beaten
 Out by Hohenlohe.

The air was piercing and frosty at Oak land yesterday. Everybody moved about all muffled up and tempting prices failed to thaw them out. It was perhaps. for tunate. If the bookmakers could have stirred up lively play they would all have retired millionaires. Guilder was the lone winning choice and that gelding was not popular one.
 Although the card was not possessed of much class the coast record for one mile and quarter, 2:06}4, was reduced half a second by Robert Bonner, a cheap selling platter. The latter horse was one Of four starters in the fourth event, for which Neloz ruled prime favorite. Neloz was never factor. Myth, with Thorpe up, made all the running and led to within a few yards of the wire, only to be beat en a nose by Bonner, piloted by little Hal Brown. The winner was backed from F down to to l.
 Wyoming, second choice in the betting, with Piggott up, took the opening scram- ble over the Futurity course from big band of platers. Cavalio, a 20 to l out slider, was second, a head in front of Glen Anne. The favorite, Captive, was fourth.
 The fast lilly Midlove once more proved a grievous disappointment. She was an odds-on choice for the two-year-old event at six turlongs, but could not last 1t out. Polka, with post odds of p to 1 about him, won hands down from Dunpraise.
 Of the ten starters in the event follow ing at six furlongs Guilder and Ulm looked the best, and there was nothing to choose between the pair. in the betting. GuildeT, with N Turner up,' received an excellent ride, enabling him to lead Ulm out a length. Diara, strongly touted, fin ished a fair third.
 Barney Schreibers Imperious had a stout call in the betting on the mile sell ing affair. After displaying intermittent streaks of speed the Morello gelding fell easy prey to Hohenlohe, the second took the show.
 Followers of the favorite again played in hard luck over the result of the final six furlOng spin. At the post PeiXotto the first choice, was kicked on one sh0ul- der, causing a bad wound. Midlight led him all the way, crossing the line an easy victor Show honors went to Lib- errinf
