=== Wheeling. ===
The [[Columbia Square Wheelmen|Columbia-square Wheelmen]] have organized with the following officers: President, [[E. C. Richter]]; Vice-President, [[William B. Wegener]]; Secretary of Treasury. [[A. G. Russ Jr.]]; Road Officers - Captain, [[Robert R. Russ]]; First Lieutenant, [[M. D. Garratt]]; First Bugler, [[H. A. Wegener]]; Second Bugler, [[A. G. Russ Jr.]]

The success of the club is assured by the fact that it organized with twenty-four charter members. It is intent on placing some of its racing men on the track to compete in the [[Olympic Club]] races in May.

The new clubrooms of the organization are a marvel of neatness.

At a meeting held a few evenings ago at the [[San Francisco Bicycle Club]], Captain [[Harrison Houseworth|Houseworth]] of the Committee of Arrangements for the [[:Category:July 4th, 1888 annual meet of the California Division, League of American Wheelmen|league meet]] reported that no action had been taken, on account of the various subcommittees failing to report.

The [[San Franciscos]] will get a new clubhouse shortly.

A number of the wheelers rode out to the [[Cliff House]] yesterday for breakfast.

Captain Houseworth states that the San Franciscos will have a club run to [[Petaluma]] on Sunday, the 22d. The morning boat for [[San Rafael]] will be taken, and from there to Petaluma and return the distance will be traveled on wheel.
