Version 1 of the Garden City Wheelmen, 1887 - ?
On Thanksgiving Day a twenty-five-mile road race pill be held under the auspices of the Oakland Ramblers, on the triangle running from San Leandro to San Lorenzo, and midway on the Haywards road. The following teams have entered: Bay City Wheelmen - Elwell, Adcock and Booth; Oakland Ramblers - Ireland, Harolson and Rosborough; San Mateo Wheelmen - Donnelly, Knapp and Reed, San Francisco Bicycle Club - Larzelere, Griffin and Letcher; Capitol City Wheelmen - Cook, Breuner and Toll of Sacramento. As many well-known racing men have entered this contest, a very exciting race is expected. The Garden City Wheelmen of San Jose decline to enter a team, as they say the Bay City flyers are too much for them.

A NEW CLUB.
The Garden City Cyclers of San Jose went to the wall sometime ago in San Jose. They attempted too much in the construction of a wheel track, and insolvency swamped them. But the membership resolved upon reorganization, and a new club has just arisen out of the ashes of the old one, It is all due to the untiring efforts of such men as R. J. Butler, J. A. Desimone, and J. B. Lambkin. The name ef the new club is the Garden City Wheelmen, and the following are the officers:
President, J. B. Lambkin; Vice-President, Robert J. Butler; Recording Secretary, J. A. Desimone; Financial Secretary. H. L. Miller; Directors, George Osen, George Owen, Dr. F. Schumacher, Al. Hubbard, and Edgar Johnson. Committees: Recruiting - R. J. Butler and Tony Delmas. Club Rooms - R. J. Butler and Dr. Schumacher. A secret committee to pass upon applications for charter membership was also appointed.
