			Next Sunday a run of the new club, the [[A. C. W.]], will be held. All the members are expected to be in readiness to participate.

			A certain member of the A. C. W. struck a game in San Leandro, yesterday, that nearly bankrupted, him. It was two bits a chance and a present guaranteed every time. He spent three dollars and six-bits trying for a gold watch, and when he left he had two pairs of tin bracelets, one ten-cent bottle of perfumery, a cigar, a lead pencil and a bottle of ink.

			...

			[[W. J. Bowman\|Bowman]] is a member of the new club.

			[[Alexander S. Ireland\|Ireland]] has developed signs of "poecy," and it is understood he will be asked to resign from the A. C. W.

			There is talk of a race meet to be held at Pleasanton, given by the A. C. W. and [[Livermore Bicycle Club]].

			...

			The new club, [[A. C. W.]], will admit of lady and associate members.

<blockquote>
A new cycling club has just been organized in Oakland, the [[Alameda County Wheelmen]], and already has some thirty members enrolled. The leading spirits in this club are hustlers, and a large membership is sure to be the result at an early date.

[[WHEEL WHIRLS. - Another Bicycle Club Has Been Organized in This City. - Oakland Tribune, June 24, 1891]]

<blockquote>
There's a movement on foot for a "reunion dinner" New Year's day by the remaining members of the Old [[Alameda County Wheelmen]]'s club, which 80 years ago was the banner sporting fraternity on this side of the bay. Those were the days before the "[[safety]]" came into vogue and when it was necessary for the novice to employ a stepladder in getting started on his "[[wheel]]." The Alameda County Wheelmen boasted some daring riders among their membership. They were the ones who surrounded [[Thomas Stevens|Stevens]] when he left [[Oakland]] on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Stevens_(cyclist)#Around_the_World his historic bicycle trip around the world], and they welcomed him when he arrived here on the completion of the Journey. Among the members were [[J. D. Arkinson|Jimmy Arkinson]], [[Geo. H. Strong]], [[Robert H. Magill, Jr.|Bob Magill]], [[Charles Havens]], [[Lewis Sears|Louis Sears]], [[A. L. Reichling|Al Reichling]], [[W. J. Bowman|"Bill" Bowman]], [[Frank Willis Sharpe|Willie Sharp]], [[W. W. Haralson|Bill Haroldson]], [[Ed Hinckley]], [[Alexander S. Ireland|Alec Ireland]] and [[Alex J. Rosborough|Alec Roseborough]].

New Year's eve these men will probably meet in a down town cafe for a quiet little dinner to talk over the days that are gone and the heroes of yester-year. Any members of the organization who may read this are urged to send in their names and addresses to Robert Magill, Oakland Chamber of Commerce.

''<nowiki>[</nowiki>The above claim is problematic, because [[WHEEL WHIRLS. - Another Bicycle Club Has Been Organized in This City. - Oakland Tribune, June 24, 1891|the Alameda County Wheelmen were founded in 1891]].
