The next bicycle hare and hounds race will be held soon, probably this week.

Mr. J. S. Dean, a well known and fast racing man has entered the L. S. What with Messrs. Claflin, Dean, Thomson and Norton, some very fast riding ought to be done on the new track.

Wood, the English professional champion, states he can do 21 miles in an hour, but not 22.

The Hon. Ion Keith-Falconer, holder of the two miles amateur bicycle record 5 36 1-2, has been appointed lecturer at Cambridge, England.

The men on Saturday showed that if handicapping continues the hares must take a course out of the towns. The handicapped men were out of it from the start.

In England, lately, Wood won a 20 mile professional bicycle race in 59 m., 41.2-3 sec., beating Howell, Lees, Newton and Weston, the last two of whom would also have done 20 miles in the hour together with the other three, but for the crowd running on the track. The last mile of this race was done in the marvelous time of 2.31.2-3.

The Globe says: "For the closeness of the contest and the large number of hounds covering the entire distance, the hare and hounds run was unparalleled in the history of the Harvard Bicycle Club. Captain Smith has every reason to congratulate himself on the successful result of his efforts."

The next meet of the club will be this afternoon at 5 o'clock. The run will be to Lexington where the club will provide a supper. A moderate pace will be set in order that members who are out of practice may join with the club in this run. Those intend ling to go will please leave their names at my room, 16 Weld. Although the club requires no uniforms, members are requested to provide themselves with the club cap, which they can get at Comus and Fairbanks' No. 407 Washington St., Boston.

W. D. SMITH, Captain.
