			<blockquote>
			The most important thing in cycling racing at present is the dividing of the racing men into Class A and B, and I have asked Chairman Smyth to define the distinction, which he thus sums up briefly:

			"In order that local racing men may understand the new Class A and B amateur definitions the following has been compiled from such fragments of information as have reached this Coast: In Class A the amateur definition of last year still applies, with the addition that no prize shall exceed $50 in value, and that a rider shall not compete outside his own State, or over 200 miles from the location of meet. He must not compete with a professional or amateur of Class B. He must not accept for cycling any compensation or expense whatever.

			"Class B is a most liberal rule, and permits a man to remain an amateur provided he does not race for a money prize. He may be in the employ of and have his expenses paid by a manufacturer of cycles, club, or other parties interested in cycling. All division championships will be open only to members of Class A. The National championships are open to both classes."
