This year nis mouut I ou one or the uent imperials, and a a scorcher ho atlll set the pace on run. If one were asked who I tho best-known wheelman In the Olympic Club ho would almoittmmadlately reply, Louie Hunter." Louis Hunter is the able secretary of th Olymplo Club Wheelmen, and that club will find It bard work to replace bim when he decide to retir front th arduous duties of that office. Ho ba a mortgage on tho ofllo at present and ba held It several year. Th California Associated Cyollng Clubs Is an organization, or rather a confederation, of the ovcling club cf the State, though clubs (n ihe far south and north bave not yet united, but still it i a power in Coast cyollng and govern all road racing this side of th Rockies, In fact the Century Road Club of America had to copy the Associated Club's constitution and Tbo most Important office in Its board of governors is held by Louis C. Hunter, and a Secrotary of the Associated Club Louie is a great a success as in any other thing bo undertakes.

Mr. like most other wheelmen, has an idea of being a racer sometime and Is ono of bis club's scorchers who try to burn up the road. One of the best known wheelmen in California is Henry Francis Wynne, First Vice President of the California Associated Cycling Clubs and the present Socretary of the popular California Cycling Club. In fact, he i called by hi club member "the Father of the Cycling Club. A Secretary of the California Cycling Club be is as popular in that club as Mr.

Henry Wrnno has bean riding six years, and wa one of the arly members of the old Bay City Wbeeimen. As a touring wheolman be was a pioneer, and was the first rider on the safety to ride to Santa Crus in one day.

That was on a solid tire. and, as It was thought Impossible, be did it over again, registering all tne way. so that there world bo no doubt about it With Vice-President Argenti of the Californlas he takes frequent tours and almost always shows up on ciud runs. Mr. Wynne was one of the ortgtnatora of the California Cycling Club and also oue of the first to agitate the confederation of clubs better known as tho California Associated Cycling Clubs.

He was a popular Secretary of the board of governor and has from its beginning been a member of tho board. As First Vioe-Presldent ho I frequently called to the chair, and bis words of advice are always heeded. Henry Wynne has been a valuable correspondent ot toe leading wneei paper Tor years and is at present a regular contributor to fae lief tree, Paeifte ('ie(st and soveral others.

C. The American racing men in Paris make a aueor combination. Waller is a raw- boned, uslv looking Dutchman, Crooks an undersized Gorman with a face like a prize fighter, while Martin is as insignificant looking an Irishman as can be found. Mar tin has a stiff arm bent at the elbow etod a distorted fizure. He means well and has followed professionalism since he began riding.

He used to scorch up and down Lafayette avenue. Detroit with a sash of dull red for a belt and a riding suit of tights, cutting a figure that rather hurt cycling. When I used to go over to Belle Isle in the early morning he was almost always there training on hi old ordinary. his stamping ground being the drive at the lower end of tho island. From Detroit he went to New York and won the big race at Madison Square, thus evening up with Asbtnger, who caused him to break his ii rm in the Detroit indoor race.

Martin baa risen in the publio estimation since eoine to Franco. Austin Crooks is an Iron molder bv trade and a brute by nature. Saloon brawls was his delight and crooked riding was so common with bim that he left an unsavory reputation everywhere he raced At Cleveland be was ruled off the track. while protests occurred almost constantly elsewhere. When I first knew him he was a member of a Buffalo cycling club whioh had but seven members, and one of Its rules was that each member must be drunk on every Saturday night.

At Chicago, when I saw him last, he waa offering to sell me a diamond which he ex pected to win that afternoon. He did win it, aud an Eastern friend of mine is now wearing it, I believe, though at that time Crooks was an amateur, and amateurs are not allowed to sell their prizes. Zimmerman and Wheeler are of a differ ent class than the other Americans racing in France. Harrv Wheeler Is Just a lucky young man hardly out of his teens. Harry rode in the N.

The Bcarinai, Chicago's famous cycling maeazino, asks editorially in tha last issue for the formation or a cycling army to Join the Cqxeyitos. It has this Interview with the now famous good-roads advocate: "As General Coxey and his 300 tired followers came into Sligo, en route for Washington, the iemiNHs representative and Senator Morgan of the American Wheelman met tho victorious hosts. Pushing thoir way to tha curriago containing a pleasant-looking gentleman (General Coxey), they introduced themselves. Gonoral Coxoy was glad to know that tha wheelmen of this country were with, him in his crusade for good roads. I said he, that our great army of unemployed should ba given labor, and that there is no better way than to givethera employmonton the roads ofthis country.

I advocate the sotting aside of $500,000,000 ir. money for the building of good roads. My ideas as to the division of this amount you already have from the daily pross. I would like to sea more wheelmen enrolled in our movement Thore is yet time, for we shall stay in Washington until we gain our ob-innt if it takes all summer. Go and call for recruits and inaugurate a cycling Coxey movement on to Washington.

Lot those wbeeimen who cannot come contribute a mite toward the trip of those who can. Let the cvcling army come as quickly as possible, for it may be only Ave days and again five weeks before meet with success. Good roads are tho one thing necessary to restore the prospority of our country. With good roads our farmers can got their products to town when tho season is best The wheelmen of the country have supported us locally all along the line, but none have come through with us, and I dont't know as I can blame "When did you first lay your plans for this extraordinary movement 1" Soma two years ago.

Somo one bad stuck a pin in bis rear tire, and as it was tho only racer be bad at the track Jim McDermott kept the fact from Zimmy." Of course Johnson got the race, for ho had been saving himself for it and I think Tom Eck, his foxy trainer, knew who fixed the champion's tire. Johnson won by a small distanc and the immense crowd thundered applause, but to Zimmerman they gavo hisses, toot uncommon treatment for Chicago. Arthur Zimmerman taught crowd their mistake in almost the next race. When be started that killing spurt of his with his back down parallol with the ground, his greatest race was being ridden. Up the hank he went, and cutting down the bunch he shot down the hill into the homestretch with thousands breathless.

Down the homestretch like greased lightning and over the tape rods ahead of Johnson he came. Just before crossing the tape "Zimmy" sat up straight and gave tho crowd that bad lately hissed him a look that most of them won't forget; then ho turned around and smiled at Johnson a smile that seomed to say, "don't hang your man until you catch him." Zimmerman has been more written about of late than even when he conquered tho EugliBh two years ago, and these words from Tiie Athlete of Syraouse, N. explain it partly when it says editorially: The cycling public feels that in the departure of A. A. Zimmerman for Europe as a professional, too that it has lost its best friend.

While every one knows that Zim has not been racing for glory alone during the recent years of his great career there is yet to find one person who will say that hisdomeauor, on of off the track, is the least bit changed since the days that he was given 200 yards In a mile handicap. Ho Is the most popular wheelman who ever lived, and a contemporary tells why, as follows: "Zimmy" always knew where he was at" Ha took no nasty tumbles. Ha rarely ever disappointed. He was always quietly and present; kefit no one waiting, purt too late, Foster winning after the last turn and Charlie Wells getting his front wheel a little ahead of Alexander's too. Tho third lap was more spread out.

Smith of Los Angeles took the pace the first time around, then Smith of San Jose made pace a lap.giving it up to Bob Long. Los Angeles Smith, as usual, started his spurt too soon and was beaten on the last ten yards by Terrill. Final of the mile stretch: Otto Zlegler first; W. Edwards, second; C. S.

Wells, third. Time, 2:88 1-5. This was a hard race for Edwards, as he had to ride against the best men in the Rambler team and there was little hope of his winning, but he made a gamy fight Just the same and was beaten on the last eighth by Zlegler, who finished ten yards ahead. It was a fair race and was well ridden by all. OXt-VtlLB XOVICB.
