W.]]; [[R. H. Magill Jr.]], Secretary, Treasurer, [[O. R.]]; [[C. J. Krytser]], Local Consul; [[J. D. Arkison]], representative for Oakland.

The entry for the coming races is rapidly growing in size, and exceeds the fondest expectations of the most enthusiastic promoters of the meeting. The five mile [[L. A. W.]] [[:Category:state championship|State championship]] race and the mile [[maiden]] will be the prominent features of the day. The day's sport will consist of a [[parade]] by the wheelmen of the Pacific coast through the principal streets of Oakland and to the [[Oakland Trotting Park|trotting park]], where the following interesting programme will be carried out: 1. One mile [[maiden]]. 2. One mile tricycle. 3. Five mile [[L. A. W.]] [[:Category:state championship|State championship]]. 4. Three mile handicap. 5. One quarter mile dash. 6. Two mile handicap. 7. One mile tandem. 8. One half mile club.
