City WheeImen Make Clean
Sweep Of the Old
Officers.

The Nominating committee appointed at
the recent annual meeting OF the Bay City
Wheelmen. met last night TO select
board of eleven directors for the ensuing
year The committee is composed OF
seven members-ITenry I. Day, Frederick
Boeckmann W. Fl. WEIGH, Benjamin Ray
maud, Walter Mcdonald, Theodore {.
Dodge and Thomas S. Hall. They got
down TO business quickly, and, in spite OF
the tact that the past year has Deen the
most successful the club mas enjoyed
since 1892, proceeded to ouSt the ehtlre
preceding board of eleven, with the ex-
ception of four. The nominating commit
tee then elected three OF its own person
mel 10 serve on the new Doard-heSSrS-
Boeckmann, Mcdonald and Day, though
it must be said 10 Mr.. Days credit that
he urgently requested that MS name be
left off. The entire board was hnaLy Sc
lected, as follows: Frank II. kerr1gan,
Frank II. Waters Jr., Archie Reid, Henry
L. Day. Frank ". Smith. George stang
enberger. Frederick Boeckmann Jr., Wal
ter Mcdonald. Austin Kauzee, 5. B. NIn-
cent and Edward D Mendell.
1t will be a matter Of extreme regret
among the better class of members Of the
club that President E. f. Fahrbach, Sec
retary E. n. Creigh and Captain A J.
Menne, who managed the club so success
fully during the past year as to take +
out Of debt put money in tn, bank and
increase the membership TO per cent
should have been overlooked by the nom
mating committee in its wild pursuit
for office; but ii is only another example
Of the lack of gratitude the members have
always shown toward the clubs most
ardent workers.
There is still one hope left for the club,
and that is that Henry L. Day will consent
10 serve as president. Under his guidance
its affairs would run along smoothly, but
it is certain that neither Kerrigan, Wat
ters nor Reid of the old board will take
the office. and none of the new members
are suited for the position. The clubs al
fairs have apparently reached crisis.
The Bay City Wheelmen held a five
mile handicap tandem road race last Sun

The case comes up for final disposition
on the petition of Mary E. H. Gwin, filed

Joe Wheeler and TO . was lald against
the two-year-oId. Volta, the Santa Rosa
Stock Farms candidate, was Wen sup
ported at even money, with WaldSteln Jr.
the rank outsider. They shot away to
perfect start and Owen led the way with
the faVOrite until well into the stretch,
where the pace told and the little fellow
left his feet. Ables, behind Volta, then
had a lazy drive OF it home, winning by
nearly three lengths in 2:2f Waldsteln
was not a contender.
The odds now shifted about. Volta en-
joying the place of honor in the BOOKS.
Once more Farmer owens set a wet
sail with his youngster, but choppy
turn, and, taking the lead, eonta won
about as she pleased in 2:2S12. In TINS
heat Waldstein Jr. grew very leg weary,
getting the distance flag.
The downfall of the crack black mare
Neeretta in the 2;l6 trot, TWO IN three, was
wholly unexpected. The field was large

outside position the wise ones concluded
to play Our Lucky, the pole horse, for
the opener" The latter closed faEorlte,
while the price against NeeretUt url1ted
from evens to 3 to 2. The move was
wise one, for after Sable Francis mad led
the procession to the bend for home,
Hogoboom called on Our Lucky, and the
stocky bay won the heat comfortably by
a length from Addison, driven by Lenerty,
in 2:1512. Brooks, sitting behind Neeretta,
laid away among the tail enders until
striking the stretch, where the mare came
fast, finishing close third. Daymont and
Sue We're iistanced.
With her improved position in the heat
to follow. and her recent victories at Oak
land and Santa Rosa fresh in mind, the
talent now unloaded ON Neeretta at odds
of 8 to 5. Our Lucky's price remained at
to 5. In this heat Driver Hogoboom
showed himself to be ''teamster' above
the average. Rushing Our Lucky along,
he was first at the quarter by nearly

sirable men to accept nomination.
Colonel William J. Bryan of Nebraska,
accompanied by Colonel w. W. Foote of

forenoon. Preparations have been made
by the Iroquois Club and other Demo-

rousing reception. The event has awak-

again be the nominee of his party for the
