FOR THE CYCLE TOURNAMENT.
The Racing Men Who Will Take Part in Next Week's Races.
ARRANGEMENT OF MEN IN HEATS.
Which is the fastest, Ziegler or Edwards? - Wells and Foster to Dispute the Title, Too - Some Fast Class A Men.
It is a much-argued question whether Ziegler is faster than Edwards, and next week they will race against each other. Charles S. Wells and W. F. Foster will also be pitted against them, and there are many believers in each of the four, so that the Pavilion race may settle the question as to the comparative speed of all four. Then there is a host of other fast men to be considered and only the result of the races can give a definite idea bow the men will ride this year.
The complete list of entries for next week's races at the Pavilion is as follows:

The Liberty Cycling Club's run to-morrow will be to Ocean View and the
beach. The Libertys have their first annual ball on March 12th.
The Californias have another scorch to Haywards to-morrow.
The Olympic wheelmen have had ten men training for the past two weeks under
Jack McGlynn. They are all in fine condition, thanks to Mr. McGlynn's hard
work.
Captain Thornton of the O. C. W. has consented to act as Marshal of
to-night's bicycle parade, and the Olympics will head the line.
The Pathfinders have a run to San Rafael to-morrow and will appear in their
new uniforms. Last Tuesday evening the Pathfinders met and elected several
new members. This club will be more active this season than ever.
No meeting will be held Monday night by the California Cycling Club on
account of the opening of the Pavilion races. The whole club will be at the
cycle show.
The Crescent Road Club at its last meeting elected Manuel Lafee President,
vice A. Rosenberg, resigned. Louis Bearwald was elected Vice-President. The
officers are arranging a five-mile race, from San Leandro to Haywards, for
the early part of April. The Crescents will be fully represented in
to-night's parade.
The latest member of the C. A. C. C. is the Crescent Road Club and it has
chosen as delegates to the Board of Governors the following gentlemen: Joy
Lichtenstein, A. Rosenberg and M. Friedman.
Next Friday morning the annual twentyfive-mile handicap road race of the
California Associated Cycling Clubs will take a goodly number of
wheelmen over to the San Leandro triangle. The list of entries will excel
all past road races, and the Acmes alone will contribute about thirty
contestants.
At last Tuesday evening's meeting of the Olympic Club Wheelmen the following
named gentlemen wore received as members: Tantaux, Hitchcock, Bernhard,
Brennan and Altenberg. Chapman, the Napa racing man, has also joined the
Olympics, and will ride for the club in the cup race.
California wheelmen will be pleased to learn of the marriage of Thomas H. B. Varney and Miss Ella I. Hall, which took place in this city last Saturday.
G. A. Nissen, the well-known Bay City Wheelmen racing man, says that he will
stay with his club, and all other reports are wrong.
Next week's nights of racing will be of special interest to the clubs, as
the first three evenings will be in honor of local clubs and the last two in
honor of outside clubs, as follows: Monday, Bay City Wheelmen; Tuesday,
Imperial Cycling Club; Wednesday, Olympic Club Wheelmen: Thursday, San Jose Road Club; Friday, Oakland clubs.
GATES.
