ON THE WHEEL.
Interesting Bicycle Races at Haight Street Park.
Only a small number of wheel enthusiasts witnessed the bicycle races at the Haight-street baseball grounds last evening. The events, though only two in number, were very interesting. In the first run of one mile for safeties only there were nine entries. G. Alcayaga and P. Brown of the Razzle Dazzle Club started fifteen feet behind the scratch and allowed handicaps as follows: A. Deitle, Razzle Dazzle Club, 45 feet; L. Vidy, Razzle Dazzle Club, 50 feet; P. Bréon, unattached, 55 feet; Goodell, unattached, 70 feet; Becket, unattached, 80 feet; T. Hall, unattached, 90 feet. They finished in the following order: Alcayaga. Deitle, Vidy and Brown, with the others straggling. The first prize, a pair of trousers, was awarded to Alcayaga, and Deitle was given the second prize, a pair of new shoes. Time, 3m. 8s.
The second race was a half-mile dash for an ordinary and two safeties. J. Liebert, D. Marshall and T. C. Dodge entered. Liebert, who rode the ordinary, allowed his opponents twenty yards. They finished in the following order: Marshall, Dodge, Liebert. Time, 1m. 35 1/2s.
WHEEL AND WHEELMEN.
The Razzle-Dazzle Club Has Changed Its Name.
The Razzle-dazzle Cycling Club of this city, at its recent meeting, changed its name to that of the Oriental Cycling Club. The next run will be to Point Reyes and Bolinas Bay, on Saturday evening. The participants will leave the city for San Rafael on the 7 o'clock evening boat. They will stop over night at San Rafael, from whence they will make an early start on Sunday morning. The club extends a cordial invitation to all attached and unattached wheelmen to attend. The organizers of the club are more than pleased at the manner in which the club is progressing, numerous applications for membership being received at each meeting.
The Oriental Cycling Club held a run yesterday to Petaluma. They left on the 8 o'clock boat for Sausalito and from there took the train for San Anselmo junction, which was the starting point of the run. Among those who participated were: D. P. Dolan, J. T. Haley, J. W. Behan, J. E. Paddock, M. H. McGrew, F. Hansen, J. C. Mollison, George March, A. A. Alcayaga, A. Diette and T. A. Vichy.
