			<blockquote>
			The [[Reliance Club]] should at once rebuild the [[Alameda Cycle Park track\|Alameda bicycle track]] as a three lap, and thus be able to use it for the tournaments that will be run here this season.

			The quarter-mile track on the grounds of the late [[Alameda Athletic and Bicycle Club]] has a good surface and is well built, but the turns are bad, and as the Reliance Club has decided to rebuild the track it should do so at once. If it was ready now the eastern cracks who are expected out here could use it to train on.

			Alameda is the only proper place hereabout for a bicycle track and the grounds there are perfectly located for convenience, speed and utility. There is always too much wind in San Francisco, and when the wind does not bother the fog does. The [[Three-lap track at the Midwinter Fair\|Midwinter Fair track]] is only an experiment or make-shift, that will at the most be available for only scrub tryouts after the Fair is over, and Oakland has no probability of a track, so that Alameda has everything in its favor.

			<blockquote>
			CONSIDERING the many counter attractions of yesterday in the way of aquatic and athletic sports, the race meeting of the [[Alameda Bicycle and Athletic Club]] at [[Alameda Cycle Park track\|the track of this club]] yesterday proved a grand success. In fact it was one of the most enjoyable athletic outings that has taken place in Alameda for many months.

			All that was required to make the occasion doubly brilliant was the smashing of records, and so far as this was concerned the representatives of the club can feel satisfied.

			Better racing could not possibly have been desired, although the finishes in some of the heats were not as close as had been expected.

			The spirited music of the park band was greatly enjoyed by the contesting wheelmen, and the ladies, who were sheltered

			from the rays of the sun, were particularly pleased.

			The club has been placed on a good footing financially by the success of the meeting, and extra attractions will be added to the grounds so as to make them perfect in every particular and equal in point of beauty to any of the bicycle grounds of America. It was estimated that 3000 people were present yesterday when the first race was called.
