----
The end of the fourth relay saw the Olympics in first position. Allan Jones rode it for them and he and the Bay City man, McCrea of Los Angeles, rode together, exchanging pace up to the fifth mile, when McCrea's tire punctured. He said nothing, but kept on as best he could, though it was hard work. When Jones realized what had happened he lit out and soon left the Los Angeles flier behind. The latter rode on a mile nore when he met a rider on an old model wheel, heavy and cumbersome, with bell, brake, lamp and all the usual attachments of a tourist's mount. It was better than his own flat-tired wheel though, so he quickly dismounted and requested an exchange, which was readily granted, and he was off again at a good speed and made up all but a minute of the time he lost by his accident.
Had his trailer been near at hand, he being supposed to start a minute behind him, he would not have lost so much, but the trailer, George Dixon, also had a puncture and was nowhere in sight when McCrea most needed him.
Crafts, the Acme man, made the best time of the relay, 26 min. 36 sec.

==== The Olympic Club Wheeling Annex in Tamalpais Redwoods. ====
The Olympic Cycling Annex wheeled from San Anselmo to Lagunitas and back to the Sausalito ferry yesterday.
Those in the party were H. A. Westphal, Frank Hunter, G. L. Blackwell, T. Kennedy, J. A. Johnson, W. H. Haley, A. Moulder, W. J. Roderick, J. Morris and Henry Clay, all of the Olympic Club; Albert Brown of Seattle, and G. B. Haywards, G. J. Strong, Charles Euler, C. A. Moller, and F. M. Giannini, unattached. Lieutenant Robert R. Russ was in command, and carried the party by easy stages up White's hill and over the slopes of Tamalpais ridge into the redwoods at Lagunitas, where a plunge into the creek and luncheon were enjoyed. Brown, from Seattle, was a novice at hill work and was with difficulty kept from going up all manner of paths, so much did his safety zigzag. The next run of the Annex will be to Lake Pilarcitos on May 28th. A meeting of the Annex will be held tonight at the Olympic Club.

HIS RACING CAREER - Walter Foster Gets Favorable Mention. - Alameda Daily Argus, 19 Oct 1895

=== HIS RACING CAREER ===
==== Walter Foster Gets Favorable Mention. ====
==== He Has Long Been Pre-eminent in the Cycle Circles - A Paper's Comments on Him. ====
Walter F. Foster, who has been making some new records at Napa, receives a column of very favorable mention in to-day's Examiner. The article is accompanied by two portraits of the young record-breaker. The article says in part:
"The man of the year in California cycling racing has unquestionably been Walter F. Foster of the Olympic Club Wheelmen.
"Foster began his racing career in a modest way, winning both the time and first prize in a meet of the Alameda Bicycle Club around the triangle at San Leandro, about eight miles, in the spring of 1891. There were no spectators present, no announcement having been made of the contest, the members riding down quietly in the early morning, and the majority of them being contestants. This race proved so satisfactory that, on May 30th, the club promoted an open twenty-five-mile race, which Foster won, Frank Waller, the long-distance champion, securing the time prize in 1:24:57.
See also The Wheelmen. - San Francisco Chronicle, 01 Jun 1891
When the first modern track on the Coast was built at Alameda Foster settled down to steady training, and was uniformly successful, since which time he has been a consistent winner.
No one man has been pre-eminent in cycle racing here as long as Foster. Going down the line of Coast champions, we find Woodman, Eggers, Finkler, Cook, Elwell, Adcock, Davis, Fonda, Shockley, D. L. Burke, Ives, Edwards and Ziegler as men who have held championship honors for a length of time, vary from a day to a couple of years; but the cares of the busy world have interfered and the champion becomes the ex-champion even while yet in his prime.
Foster's riding has always been distinguished for the desperate chances he takes and the indomitable courage be displays in competition, having won many races purely on his pluck, coming again when he was all but beaten, and finishing ahead of possibly faster riders, but ones lacking in gameness.
"Foster was born in Vallejo, is twenty-four years of age, stand 5 feet 10 inches in height and weighs 155 pounds."

BAY CITY WHEELMEN, Well-Known Athletes Who Travel Around on Wheels. - The San Francisco Examiner, Oct 14, 1888
The most important event in wheeling to take place in the near future is the meeting of the Bay City Wheelmen to-morrow at the Haight-street Baseball Grounds. From the large number of entries and the well-known speed of many who intend competing it is conficiently expected that the meeting is already an assured success, and that several new records will be established. The handicaps have been arranged by R. A. Smythe of the Racing Board of the California Division, League of American Wheelmen, and as Mr. Smythe is conceded to have a good idea of the respective merits of most all of the riders on the Coast, close contests should be the rule.

HOW HARRY GREENE WON THE DAY.
The advantages to be gained by organization are manifold. By the concerted action of the members of the San Francisco Club, headed by the indefatigable Harry Greene, the broker, the Park roads have been made available to wheelmen, while in Oakland a nonsensical street ordinance prohibiting their use has been repealed. The members make frequent trips into the country, and sometimes find it advantageous to take the train on their way home. For a long time none but express trains would stop for them, and then their wheels were rated at the highest rates for local express, while dirty sportsmen, returning from hunts down the road, were received on every train, and their ill-smelling trophies and ugly, barking dogs passed as baggage. Harry Greene, single-handed, waged a long battle to have the unjust discrimination lifted, and at last, in a fit of desperation, made out a blank order declaring that wheelmen should have the same privileges as sportsmen, and sent it to Charles Crocker, who capitulated to this bold proceeding and signed it on the spot. During the first four years of the San Francisco Club's existence Ralph de Clairmont was its President, and during the first three years G. Loring Cunningham was the Captain, succeeded by Herman C. Eggers in the fourth year. Columbus Waterhouse has held the office of President for the last five years, and during that time the successive list of Captains is composed of Herman C. Eggers, Charles A. Butler, Henry London, Herman C. Eggers and Harry G. Greene.

Its present membership is as follows : Ralph de Clairmont, Herman C. Eggers, George J. Hobe, Chas. L. Leonard, Charles A. Butler, Columbus Waterhouse, Fred Waterhouse, Henry C.

Butler, Henry R. Judah, J. W. Winter, Walter S. Kelley, Walter E. Slack, Harry A. Greene, Isaac Ehrenberg, James A. White, Frank A. Osborn, Jason W. Nash, James Sanderson, Frederick W. Gibson and John F. M. McCarthy. The Club uniform is neat and tasteful, consisting of a dark-brown Parole jacket, knee breeches and stockings, and black cap with visor. The Club colors are blue and white.

A DESPERATE PLUNGE.
Harry Greene once had a more humiliating, if not so tragical an experience, for he undertook to make a solitary run to Belmont when the roads were muddy, and took a header into a mud-puddle by the roadside, losing his machine so successfully in the mudhole where he capsized that it took a band of farm-hands half an hour to locate and extricate it.

San Francisco Bicycle Club
The first bicycle race ever witnessed in California was run under the auspices of the club at the old Mechanics' Pavilion in the latter part of 1879. It was won by H. C. Eggers, who made 525 miles in three days, and excited much interest. In August, 1880, the club joined the League of American Wheelmen and also adopted a uniform of gray and navy blue. In that same year H. C. Finckler, a member of the club, after considerable trouble, succeeded in demonstrating to the police of Los Angeles that he could not be prevented from riding his bicycle on the streets of that city. An important concession was obtained by the club from the Park Commissioners in March, 1881. This was the privilege, granted to members only, of continuing the ride from Strawberry Hill to the ocean beach - still, however, with severe restrictions as to hours.

Henry C. Finkler was one of the old-time champions riding under the colors of the San Francisco Bicycle Club. He first commenced racing in 1882-83, and during those years won all the prominent races. One of his most notable performances was at Santa Cruz on the occasion of the first league meet July 4, 1887. Here, in a ten-mile race, which was the event of the day, he set the pace for nine miles at a terrific gait, and was only passed during the ninth mile by Charles E. Adcock. Since that time Mr. Finkler has not raced much, but has devoted his time and energy toward encouraging others and to giving them the benefit of his experience.

=== HE IS AN ENTHUSIAST. ===
==== Henry Martin Now Rides a Bike for Pleasure. ====
Henry Martin, capitalist and worthy grand treasurer of the Native Sons of the Golden West, is now an enthusiastic bicycle-rider. He started in with the idea that the exercise would reduce his weight. He was not disappointed, as he has lost twenty-two pounds avoirdupois in about three weeks. The success of the experiment has given him a liking for the exercise and the "bike" is now one of Mr. Martin's most cherished possessions.
His favorite exercise ground is Washington square and there is not a night in the week but what "the most popular man in the order of Native Sons" can be seen at exercise. When he first started in Henry tipped the beam at 300 pounds. Now he only weighs 278 pounds and has a complexion like a healthy schoolboy. The youths of the neighborhood have tried and tried again to beat him in trial spins around the square, but in a spurt he can win hands down. Over a distance he is not so good, as his weight tells. When Mr. Martin made the pleasing discovery that he could control a "bike" he at once procured a complete outfit. His bloomers and sweater are of the latest pattern and his cap is of Scotch plaid. When in full uniform he presents a striking appearance and his friends compliment him. Every Sunday Mr. Martin goes to Oakland and takes a ten-mile spin. As soon as Deputy Collector Jerome has recovered from the effects of his last accident, Mr. Jerome intends to challenge him to a contest on the Oakland racetrack. In spite of the acknowledged ability of the Customhouse man as a bicycle-rider there are many who are willing to bet that Martin will win out in the end.
