thoroughly discussed and officers elected.
After two weeks of negotiation arrange

announcement will be hailed with delight
by all lovers Of cycle racing, especially
those who remember the time when the
famous Jimmy was without a peer on
the banked ovals. 1t has been known
that Zimmerman was quietly training at
Asbury Park. but it was thought that his
only appearance would be in exhibitions.
1t now appears that, finding his speed
as great as ever, Zimmerman has decided
to meet the best men of this country on
even terms. He will ride an exhibition
at the Asbury Park meet on May 30, after
which he will come direct to New York
to compete in the Jimmy Handicap at
Ambrose Park on June 10. He will

The Belmonts met and defeated the New
Jersey, Jr., team, Monday afternoon, on
the Washington street grounds in a good
game, which resulted in a score of 10 to 8.
The game was a good one throughout.
The fielding was unusual for a team of
young amateurs and both Donovan and
Muller pitched well. Donovan was in the
box for the Beimonts and gave ten hits.
He was well held by Curtis and well sup
ported. But four errors Were scored
against the entire team.
The Belmonts scored one run in the
first inning and one in the second,~ while
the New Jerseys were unable to do any
effective work. In the third Muller was
hit very hard by Wilson when the bases
were full. He hit to far centre and gave
Scanlon a good chase after the ball. Me-
Donald, Curtis and Hegels crossed the
plate, but Wilson was nailed between
third and home. One run was scored by
the New Jersey in the third and then they
were held off until the seventh when two
more were added to the lone one. One in
the eighth and two in the ninth for the
Belmonts brought the total to 8. The
