San Jose, CA

The Garden City Cyclers had a track near the intersections of South First and South Second streets, in San Jose; the First street track. It was smaller, made of gravel, and they had disagreements with the land-owner, so they decided to build a new, cement, larger track.

It is proposed to build a good bicycle track, and have it in readiness for the race meet to be held on Admission day.

A committee has been appointed to wait upon Jacob Rich, owner of the First-Street Electric Railway, to encourage him in building a track and the necessary buildings on the line of his road.
