First Lieutenant H. W. Welsh and Second Lieutenant Walter J. Davidson were chosen as road officers. The members of the road racing committee of the California Associated Cycling Clubs have selected the 18th inst. as the date upon which will be contested the annual Baker & Hamilton race. Entries will close on the 15th, at which time the positions of the various contestants will be determined. It has been decided to allow unlimited pacemaking, so the race should prove a remarkable contest. The trophy, which was donated by Baker & Hamilton, is one of the most beautiful and costly ever offered for cycling competition. It must be won three times before becoming the property of any club.
