The Olympic Club Wheelmen and the Bay City Wheelmen will have joint run tomorrow which promises to be the ban ner event of it's kind of the year both in point of numbers and picturesqueness Of the journey. Their destination will be Mission San Jose, where they will be the guests of their fellow members, Messrs. Gallegos, Montealegre and Salazar. The wheeling contingent of the party will take the train to Haywards and ride the rest of the way, about F miles. The intirm, who cannot cycle that distance without extreme fatigue and lassitude. have been provided for, too. They will take the S:3O a. m boat and train to Niles, whence they will be coached" down to the picnic grounds behind gayly caparisoned steeds. It was roughly estimated last night that each club will turn out 75 men on this run, so the attendance will be unusually large. Swimming, baseball and other outdoor amusements will be indulged in, and merry time is assured. The hatch et, which has so long kept severed the string of peaceful relations between the two clubs, will be buried with fitting cere- mony, and 1t is hoped will never be resur- rected.
 As stated exclusively in The Call last Saturday, the Olympfcs and Bay Citys contemplate holding joint race meet at Elmhurst within the next two months. Each club has appointed a committee of b members, who will meet next Wednes- Npy .4i6iiS 1S tAAO NY AAPAS SiNo IO dA oL5O particulars.
 It is pleasure to note the prevailing feeling of friendliness between the Olyrn- pic Wheelmen and the Bay City Club, as evidenced by last Sundays road race, to- morrows joint run and the coming race meet to be handled by the two clubs. This is as 1t should be, and with two such powers combined the sport should four ish on the coast.
 The newly elected directors of the Bay City Wheelmen met Thursday e-,ening and elected the following officers for the ensuing term: Emil Fahrbach, presi- dent; Henry |. Day, vice president; p. N. cial secretary; Theodore c. Dodge, treas urer; A. J. Meme, captain; Frank H. IKSerrigan4, Frank H; Waters, pr. E. T. ing, directors. The retirement of Judge Kerrigan, who has held the presidency for. four successive terms, was received with regret by the other members of the board, who urged him to accept re-elec- tion, but he declined. Emil Fahrbach, the new president, was president of the club for two terms twelve years ago. He is an old-time wheelman, with an unconquer- able love for the sport, and should make a splendid commanding officer for the club. The other officers are old members of the directorate, who have served faith fully and been reelected, save Secretary Creigh, who Is new in the administration. The BayN City members are promised many innovations in social and wheel life under the new board.

Fortnightly Saturday evening en- tertainments and card tournaments will be promoted, and club road races will help to bring out any latent racing talent that is undeveloped.
