ular course will be changed somewhat

date all riders.

who is managing these events for Mr..
Levy, has not yet decided to apply for

The utilization of the racing contin-
gent of Utah with the California league
does not necessarily imply that Sunday
racing will follow. Sunday racing is a
matter which will be left entirely to
| the public, the race meet promoters and
I the racing men themselves.
Captain Smith of the Social Wheel
| club has another scheme to keep up
| interest in the club runs, and u base
ball practice run is on the programme
for today. The club will go To Calder's
park, leaving the club rooms at u. IN.
The club has invested in balls, bats,
masks, gloves and all necessary para
phernalia, and will try out the male
members at the park today. The mem
bers of the nine will be selected. and
regular practice will be commenced.
As soon as the club nine has got
into working order, it is proposed to
challenge the members of the Opal club
to a game.
The Callers park bicycle track will
be lively place today. as all the track
men will be working out and the Social
members will undoubtedly find the run
an interesting and enjoyable one.
Captain Berry of the Opal club sent
caf,1I. ,,1rnipn tiOn ~ tba Social
Wheel club lest week. which expressed
on behalf of the members of the Opal
club the kindliest feelings and best
wishes of its members toward the So
cials. 1t had been stated that there
We're unfriendly feelings existing be
tween the rival clubs, and Captain
Berry. took the occasion to disclaim the
truth of such reports.
The members of the Socials, in turn,
have the best of feelings towards tho
Opal club. and Captain Berry's letter
will do much to perpetuate these mu-
tual best wishes.
Invitations are being issued for the
musical entertainment at the Social
Wheel club rooms next Friday night.
The second annual mammoth run of
the wheelmen of Salt Lake will occur
about the second Sunday in June. This
run was held under the auspices of the
Social Wheel club last year and Cap
tain Smith is making ARRANGEMENTS TO
hold the coming one under the direction
of the same club. Last year over 200
cyclists We're in line and the probabili-
ties are that with the increased inter- |
est in cycling this seasons annual run
will be even more largely attended. !
The Opal and Iroquois clubs will be i'll
vited in a body and invitations will be
H. II, Il.
will be picnic on the camp meeting |
style and dinner will be served out of |
doors. The objective point will be some |
nearby resort, probably HIS farm, |
and it is probable that the first base !;
ball game between the Opals and So |
Gals will be played at that time.
The Utah Cycle Path League is slow |
ly gaining members and the path over /
Beck's hill is an assured fact. Presi- |
dent Bamberger, Of the Salt Lake & |
Ogden railroad company, is quite in |
terested in the plan. as a good road to |
would greatly increase the |
popularity of the Lagoon. He has made |
a suggestion that may be considered by |
the Cycle Path League, to the effect |
that instead of building the path along
on the hillside, that is. be constructed
along the right of way Of the railroad
company. This would entirely do away
with the climb over the hill and make
the path doubly attractive. Mr.. Bam- !
berger has given his consent to have I
the path built on the right of way and
Engineer Walls services are at the dis !
posal of the league.
1t is intended. in case the plan of
following the railroad is adopted. to
surface the path with cinders, as they
could be brought from the railroad
yards in the city very cheaply.
The Lozier Manufacturing company
makers of the Cleveland bicycle. are

Mr.. II. a. Lozier, president of the con-
FERN. 1t will be sumptuously fitted up
and will run on Lake Erie.

avs and three-time champion of the
;printers, has signed with A. q. Spanl-
ng & Co., to ride a Spalding wheel the
coming year. The selection of Bald's

interest to the fraternity, and his choice
$ chronicled in all the cycle papers
throughout the land.
