The San Francisco Road Club will have their weekly run to Haywards to-morrow, and from promises expect to have about 40 members. The club is in a very flourishing condition, having seven new members come in on last meeting night.
Captain L. L. Korn of the San Francisco Road Club announces a run to-morrow to Petaluma, taking the 8 A. M. Tiburon ferry. Members will assemble at Seventh and Market streets promptly at 7:30. This is a new and active club, of which Ed Sands is the president.
The San Francisco Road Club had a run to San Jose Saturday night by moonlight, returning yesterday. The club has just moved into new quarters at 722 Golden Gate avenue.
The San Francisco Road Club, for a new organization, has made rapid advancement, having sixty active members, a comfortable clubhouse, and many new members in prospect. The officers are Ed Sand, President; T. O'Brien, Vice-President; M. Lewis, Treasurer: W. B. Meckfessel, Secretary: L. L. Korn, Captain; T. J. Smith, First Lieutenant, and W. Puhrenhagan, Second Lieutenant. The club emblem is a red diamond with a black and white wheel in the center. The clubhouse is 722 Golden Gate avenue.
The San Francisco Road Club members will meet at the clubroom at 8:30 A. M. to-morrow, cross the bay and go to Haywards to cheer for their fellow members, Pixley, T. J. Smith, J. Smith, Pels and L. L. Leavitt, in the road race. It all depends on the handicaps they get, so they say.
The San Francisco Road Club will soon be incorporated. Messrs. Pixley, Blumenthal and Peiser are a committee appointed to look for larger clubrooms in the vicinity of the present quarters on Golden Gate avenue. George Hamlin and L. Leavitt have been presented with gold and silver medals respectively, which they won by their race last Sunday, wherein Hamlin lowered the world's five-mile road record to 11:11 2-5. He has gone away for three weeks, and will be tendered a grand banquet by the club on his return. Joseph Lewis, a popular member, has returned from his trip to Eureka. Harry Raymond was married the other evening to Miss Clara Robinson.
