RACES AT GILROY.

Opening Meeting at the Track of the Tribune Cyclers.

SAN JOSE, CAL., April 22. - The Tribune Cyclers of Gilroy held their first race at the racetrack near that place yesterday.

There were two events on the programme, a mile and a half-mile handicap.

The mile handicap was won by George Lewis in 2:42, William McDonald second. The half-mile handicap was run in two heats, and won by Roy Lennon, Frank Reeve second.

The Tribune Cyclers were but recently organized, and the club's membership is rapidly increasing. It is the intention of the club to hold a series of road races the coming summer.

The Tribune Cyclers of Gilroy are raising funds for the erection of a grand stand at the racetrack, so that those witnessing their races the coming summer will not have to stand. The Tribunes have awakened a general interest in cycling matters in Gilroy, and they propose to inaugurate a series of road races. Committees have been appointed by the Tribune Cyclers and the Gilroy Sportsmen's Protective Association looking to the union of the two clubs.
