* Bay City Wheelmen
Sydney B. Vincent of the Bay City Wheelmen, whose picture is presented this week, is built like a racer and rides as one. He has long been known as a particularly fast man on the track and road, and it was not a great surprise when he won the Bay City Wheelmen's five-mile road race last Sunday, though he had to put forth his best efforts to do it. Last May and June he was riding second to Harry F. Terrill in class A, which of itself is a reputation for any man. He has not given much attention to racing of late, except on the cable slot going home every morning at 3 A. M., for he works nights for the Associated Press. He's been doing this so regularly and often that all the people along his route home know him, and when a dark streak crosses their vision for a second and soon is lost to sight in the distance, they think: "Syd must be late to-night, or else he's training again."

VII.
PAUL STOCKTON, capitalist, orchardist and well-known man about town, is a living advertisement of the healthfulness of farm life and cycling in the beautiful Santa Clara Valley, for he does not look a bit older today than he does in this photograph taken more than 20 years ago.
However, this may be due to his habits of life, which are characterized today, as they were when he first became a devotee to the silent steed, by a lack of extreme strenuousness; nevertheless he always got there.
Paul purchased a wheel in the stone age and learned to ride without even disarranging his tie or marring the classic shape of his nose, and became a member of the Garden City Wheelmen when that organization was perfected. Although he was an ardent follower of the sport, he did not participate in any speed contests.
His cycling attire was probably the most faultless of any of the hundreds of riders at that time. He was the exact antithesis of "Dusty" Lamkin, of whom something has already been said, in that he was able to return from a club run without a speck of dust on his well-fitting clothing or on his shining wheel. His club emblems and his natty little cycling cap were always greatly admired.
Today Mr. Stockton leads the simple life. He runs his prune orchards with great success, and when his duties on his ranch on the Almaden road do not keep him at home he may be seen at Bercovich's or some other well-known local cigarstore.

==== Eighth in Series of Sketches, Accompanied by Photographs Found in Garrets and Homes of San Joseans Who Were Devoted Followers of Sport in Early Days of the Bicycle. ====
VIII. 
E. E. YOUNG, a representative of the Pacific Manufacturing Company, and formerly manager of the Santa Clara Valley Mill and Lumber Company, was also a pioneer cyclist, well known in this vicinity in the eighties. The photograph presented here today was taken after a ride from Santa Cruz to Sacramento; by a photographer in the Capital City.
That run was made about '84, but the adventures with which Mr. Young met in the journey across the mountain roads are still fresh in his memory. This cycle was one of the first to invade mountainous districts and instill terror into the hearts of artless rural equines. The auto today never had more trouble with unsophisticated horses on narrow mountain roads than did Mr. Young on this trip.
One animal that was suddenly confronted with the strange apparition of a human being sailing along on a silent revolving thing preferred in a panic to take its chances with a 200-foot precipice. The driver of this rig luckily did not follow his horse and wagon, and, strange to say, did not attempt to make the rider pay for the accident, stating that he was equally to blame for owning such an animal. Portions of this rig were afterwards removed from the top of a redwood tree, but the buzzards got the horse.
Barring two or three accidents on down-grades caused by the tendency of the little wheel in the rear of the machine to fly up and strike the rider in the back of the head, the journey was safely made.
Mr. Young was in the butcher business in Santa Cruz at this time, but removed to San Jose about eight years ago. Since that time he has become quite prominent in the lumber business, and resides on Thirteenth street, in the Naglee Park tract.

IX. 
"DICK" MOODY, who owns a controlling interest in the handsome new plant erected at the corner of Ninth and Santa Clara streets and which is known as the Parisian Dye Works, was one of the most popular cycle riders on California tracks as well as one of the most successful in the heyday of cycling.
Although "Dick" came into this world too late to pedal one of the big "ordinaries" with Al Col, the late Julius Smith, Oscar and George Osen and their comrades and rivals, he adopted the "safety" when it first appeared as his favorite method of locomotion.
His first bicycle weighed 61 pounds, yet by dint of considerable conscientious training he managed to finally acquire speed enough to shove this contraption close to the three-minute mark and win his novice race about 20 years ago.
This was the first victory for "Dick" in a successful racing career. He followed the California circuit for several seasons and won a total of 48 prizes.
Finally his business demanded his entire attention to the utter exclusion of the manly sport and the San Jose wheelmen's club.
Mr. Moody is an architect of considerable ability and designed his own home in the Naglee Park tract as well as the new two-story building at the corner of Ninth and Santa Clara streets, where the Parisian Dye Works is housed.

=== Fifty-Mile Race Settled in First Relay When J. R. Berryessa Sprinted Away From His Opponent. ===
[By the Associated Press]
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10. — The fifty-mile relay bicycle race today between the Garden City wheelmen of San Jose and the team from Reno, Nev., was won by the San Jose riders in 2 hours 12 minutes and 10 seconds. The race was settled in the first relay, when J. R. Berryessa of San Jose gained such a lead on Peckham of Reno as to leave little doubt as to the final outcome. Reno's time was 3 hours 14 minutes 12 seconds.

==== Tenth of Series of Sketches, Accompanied by Photographs Found in Garrets and Homes of Business Men Who Were Devoted Followers of Sport in Early Days of the “Silent Steed." ====
W. F. LENZEN, whose photo is reproduced this morning, as No. 10 in a series of sketches of the careers of San Jose's primordial cyclists, owned one of the first four "safeties" that ever appeared in this city, purchasing it in '88. Today he is a member of the well known firm of decorators and painters of the same name, who have done some of the biggest jobs in their line in this county, and whose headquarters are located on West San Fernando street.
The other three safeties which came to San Jose about the same time that Lenzen's did, were purchased by Al Wagner, Joe Delmas and A. C. Kenney, all of whom are well known in local business circles.
"BH" Lenzen, as he was known in the days before he had assumed the cares of a hustling business man, did not attempt to follow the racing circuit, but he got the "long distance fever," and the miles of roads of all descriptions that he could cover in a single day was something incredible considering the weight of the "bone-shaker" that he first bestrode. Joe Delmas was his riding mate and chum, and the two together essayed many a long jaunt. It was not uncommon for them to start out from San Jose in the morning for San Francisco, ride out to the Golden Gate Park and around the metropolis, and then pedal home again in the same day.
They also made the trip across the mountains to Capitola frequently and the above photograph was taken in one of these trips, the scene depicted being almost on the spot where the bowling alley at the sea-side resort is now located. The photograph gives a fairly good idea of the cycling togs of that period.
These were less like circus riders' uniforms and conformed more to comfort than did those which the riders of the "ordinary" first adopted.
Bill was also a member of the Garden City Wheelmen, and participated in all of the club runs and good times that that organization was noted for in this, the heyday of cycling. At this time the hotels and resorts of Los Gatos, Saratoga, Poncelet's, Gilroy and Almaden, counted on the wheelmen's support, and weekly, and often daily, entertained scores of dusty bike men.
Bill was fond of the Gilroy trip and his bicycle created more interest when it first appeared in that city than high grade automobiles do today.
Like his team mates, the cares of his business compelled him to forego the pleasures of cycling, and about '93 he became a member of the firm of M. Lenzen & Co., which is located at present at 58 West San Fernando street. These are the decorators who had charge of the refinishing of the buildings at Stanford University after the recent big earthquake.

STARTERS ARE READY FOR THE ROAD RACE - The San Francisco Call - October 08, 1898

=== STARTERS ARE READY FOR THE ROAD RACE ===
To-morrow will be a big day with the wheelmen, who will gather by hundreds along the county road from Fruitvale to Haywards to witness the fifth annual ten-mile handicap of the California Associated Cycling Clubs.
The race will start at High street, Fruitvale, promptly at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning, and nothing but a heavy downpour of rain at that hour will prevent it. The race will not be postponed if it rains to-day and to-night. The riders and officials will all go over on the 9 a. m. broad gauge boat.
The Bay City Wheelmen will hold an open membership meeting next Saturday evening, October 15, to be followed by an impromptu entertainment and smoker. President Fahrbach has appointed the following committees: House - Harry Larkin, chairman; Frank H. Watters, E. N. Creigh; membership - H. W. Spalding, chairman; Frank H. Kerrigan, Theodore C. Dodge.
Charles Bain of the Reliance Wheelmen, Oakland, who has been in Japan for the past four years, will be home by the next steamer. An exchange from Tokio tells of numerous banquets tendered him by the American colony prior to his departure.
The California Cycling Club will have an old-time run on "ordinaries" and crocks Sunday, October 23, to the beach. The club's handball tournament commences the 25th.
Joseph A. Ostendorf of the Bay City Wheelmen, manager of the Lozier branch house here, was married last Wednesday, the 5th, at Delphos, Ohio, to a Miss Therese Weger. They will make their home in this city.
Albert W. King-Rhys of the Bay Citys is just recovering from an attack of typhoid fever.
The Garden City Wheelmen will have an election shortly, the following being the nominations: President, Dr. Fred Schumacher; vice-president, Norman B. Kooser; recording secretary, George E. Owen; financial secretary, H. L. Miller; directors - James Arguello, Albert Hubbard, L. O. Sill, F. Van Dorsten, Robert J. Butler; captain, J. B. Lamkin; first lieutenant, Tony Delmas; color bearer, R. Davis; bugler, Hardy Downing.
Frank W. Fuller of the Olympic Wheelmen and his bride have gone East on their honeymoon. Apropos, an interesting little story could be told of the time he had trying to catch the overland and dodging Charley Adams, Jack McGlynn and other enthusiastic Olympians, who fain would have showered him and his bride with rice. Fuller was married at San Jose, and - to avoid his friends - came up via Niles to Oakland, taking a street car to the Sixteenth-street depot. Somebody had "tipped off" Adams and McGlynn as to the detour, however, and they were there to meet him. Tableau!

===STEVENS' ENTERTAINMENT. ===
====The Bay City Wheelmen's "Smoker" - To-Day's Big Meeting. ====
At their clubrooms, No. 202 McAllister street, the Bay City Wheelmen tendered Thomas Stevens, the celebrated bicycle tourist, an informal reception. The apartment was profusely decorated with the calla lilies, evergreens and flowers, while the tables were supplied with material calculated to make the heart of man glad.
Mr. Stevens sat sedately in his chair with a bouquet of violets in his hand, which he frequently applied to his olfactory organ with apparent relish. He confessed in a guilty manner that it had been transmitted to him from fair hands, which fact detracted nothing from its perfume.
The evening was spent in songs, toasts and other diversions.
The programme of the bicyclists to-day is for the city clubs to leave for Oakland on the 9:15 A. M. boat. They will be met by the Oakland clubs at the foot of Broadway. Then the route will be along Broadway to Fifth street, and along Fifth to Jackson, where a photograph of the body will be taken. After that a run will be made to Eighth, and thence along the county road to Haywards, where a banquet will be served. At least 150 wheelmen are expected to be in line.

Sacramento New Pavilion indoor track

__NOTOC__
There was an indoor track at the New Pavilion, on Fifteenth and N Streets, owned/managed by Mr. Winans, and designed by Frank D. Elwell, and an outdoor track at Oak Park, a neighborhood in Sacramento. There were two different bicycle tracks built at the same time, in the same city.
----
BICYCLE TOURNAMENT.
A Great One Soon to be Held at the New Pavilion.
On July 23d, 24th and 25th Sacramento will be given a treat which San Francisco people have been enjoying for the past year, and to which they have shown their appreciation by turning out in thousands at each event. That is an indoor bicycle racing tournament.
M. N. Winans, the promoter, is sparing neither money nor pains to make this one of the greatest meets ever held on the Pacific Coast.
A new eight-lap track is now under course of construction in the New Pavilion, Fifteenth and N streets, and will without doubt be the fastest indoor track in the world.
Frank E. Elwell of San Francisco, who designed and constructed the late Central Park track, and also the three-lap track at the Midwinter Fair in San Francisco, has been secured by Mr. Winans at a great expense to build the track, and his well-known ability obviates all danger which exists on tracks of the kind not properly constructed.
This tournament will be held under the sanction of the League of American Wheelmen, of which organization Mr. Winans is Local Consul at Sacramento.
Professionals and amateurs will be here from all parts of this State, Oregon and Washington, as the prizes aggregate $1,000 for the three nights.
In all, it promises to be one of the grandest events of the season, and one which the Sacramento people will thoroughly enjoy.
BICYCLE TOURNAMENT. - A Great One Soon to be Held at the New Pavilion. - The Record-Union, 28 Jun 1896
Finest in the Country. 
The new eight-lap bicycle track at New Pavilion, Fifteenth and N streets, is not only the finest but fastest indoor track ever constructed. The banks are ten feet high, and to an observer it seems impossible for the riders to retain their position. Mr. Elwell, the engineer and builder, predicts all indoor records will be broken on this track at the tournament July 23d, 24th and 25th.

M. N. Winans requested that the racing members of the club participate in the blue ribbon meet on the indoor track at the new Pavilion next Friday evening. He stated that his intention was, if sufficient funds were raised at the meet, to again erect the track and after the State Fair, and to allow the Capital City Wheelmen's racing team the use of the itrack during the winter months; also, to permit the Capital City Wheelman's Drill Corps to drill at the Pavilion during his lease. 
The club heartily accepted the offer, and decided to do everything in its Power to assist the blue ribbon meet on Friday evening.
