Chief Consul, League of American Wheelmen

A very enjoyable trip for wheelmen to take is the one made by S. H. Knapp Jr. and W. M. Meeker on Sunday week. Leaving San Mateo they took the Spanishtown road as far as Wylie's on the summit, from where they rode along the ridge of the mountains to Pelarcitos [sic] and returned by Lake San Andreas. The same day C. A. Howard and R. M. Thompson rode to Spanishtown and back.

Bad Fall from a Bicycle.

Special.

Santa Cruz, May 12. - This afternoon Ralph Thompson, captain of the Pilot Wheelmen and ex-chiet consul of the San Francisco Bicyclists, met with a serious accident while coasting on his bicycle near Capitola. He fell from his wheel and struck his head against a rock. He is suffering from concussion of the brain. Dr. Morgan, the attending płysician, says that his recovery is probable. Thompson is a prominent young business man of this city, and was among the first organizers of bicycle clubs in this state.
