Century Cycle Club.

At a meeting of local wheelmen held last
Monday evening it was decided to revive
the old Century Cycle Club which in past
years did so much to promote an interest
in road and century riding. AT this meet
ing officers were elected and it was decid-
ed to secure clubrooms at once and take
up the club lines where they left off year
ago.
Charles II. Coons. the newly elected
president was the first president the Club
had at its organization back in 1896, and
he succeeded himself for three terms until
compelled to resign on account of business
relations elsewhere. Charley is hustler
and tip top wheelmen. The Vice Presi-
dent, Thomas Doyle. ST., has been interest
ed in the bicycle sport for long time and
was elected captain of the Century Cycle
Club succeeding Captain Ed Byrnes, after
the formation of the Columbian Wheelmen.
John Q. Sheehy is the secretary-treasurer,
and outside of the fact that he is the man
for the place his riding qualities are of a
high order. The captain of the club, Ed
s. Byrnes, is back in his old position and
needs no Introduction to the road riders
and wheelmen generally around Washing
ton. He is going to say nothing but saw
wood and with the help of his lieutenants,
William C. O'Connor. whom all know as
BlIly, Alien ffOliduueT anu george ID.
Wells, will try and put the cycling branch
of the Club back in its once high position.
4 new office has been created in the club,
that of color bearer. which is held by Mr..
Ed Conway. The club will be incorporat-
ed and a hustling energy has already
sprung up among all the members. 1t is
the object of the organization to bring
back into the ranks all of the ex-members.
but in this it will not be entirely success
full and the boys only hope in course of
time all of the road pluggers will be in
line. Those attending the last meeting
were the following: Messrs. Charles H.
Coons Thomas Doyle John Sheehy, Ed
ward S. Byrnes William C. O'Connor. AL
len Hollander, George b. Wells, Ed Con-
way, George Wright. VIII Wright, Will
liam Hasler, Richard Brown. Raymond B.
Boyle, Arthur Fenton. Ed Henderson.
Lou F. Abel. and James McAnally. The
next regular meeting will be held Tuesday
evening next at o'clock.
