Emblem
The emblem chosen by twenty-seven votes in its favor, consists of a heart-shaped dark cloth background. On either side of a wheel rise white wings to the upper outer points of the hearts; above and below the wheel is a letter "C." The whole forms the ornamental letter "W," and for which also the wheel stands in the plan of the designer.

Capital City Wheelmen Adopt a New Badge.
The Capital City Wheelmen met last night, President Ennis presiding.
There was a good attendance, every seat in the clubroom being occupied. The badge award was made by ballot. There were over fifty designs submitted. The emblem chosen by twenty-seven votes in its favor, consists of a heart-shaped dark cloth background. On either side of a wheel rise white wings to the upper outer points of the hearts; above and below the wheel is a letter "C." The whole forms the ornamental letter "W," and for which also the wheel stands in the plan of the designer.
The club ordered a stamp made of the new emblem, and it will be free to use of members, that all the emblems may be cut and stitched alike.

BUREAU OF HIGHWAYS.
Some Important Bulletins Will Soon be Issued by It.
The Bureau of Highways held an important meeting yesterday, all the members being present.
Some time ago the Capital City Wheelmen requested the bureau to hold a meeting of conference with them for the consideration of road matters. At the meeting yesterday the Secretary was instructed to communicate with the wheelmen and ask them to set a date some time within a month for such a meeting.
The bureau has also decided to hold a conference with Labor Commissioner
Fitzgerald on the labor problem as concerning work on highways.
The Secretary was also instructed to communicate with the Code Commissioners and request a conference some time within the next thirty days in relation to road matters to be incorporated into the codes.
Bulletins will be prepared by the commission on the following subjects: "The History of Road Building." "The History of Road Building in the United States." Commissioner Manson will prepare one on "The Physical Features of the State," and Commissioner Irvine one on "The Effect of Roads on Industrial Development," which will deal with the economy of good roads. Commissioner Maude will prepare a “Manual of Road Building,” which will deal with location, drainage and surfacing of roads.
BICYCLE PATH.
Movement to Have One Laid Out Between Here and Folsom.
At to-night's meeting of the Capital City Wheelmen steps will be taken to have a six-foot pathway cleared and smoothed off along the road from this city to Folsom, for bicycle riders.
This will be only preliminary to the laying of a cinder path the entire distance, but without the cinders it would be serviceable for a few months. All persons who feel an interest in this improvement are invited to attend the meeting and express their views on the subject.
Some are of the opinion that a narrower path would answer the purpose, but while about it the path might as well be made at least six feet in width, as there would be much passing and repassing of wheelmen.
It is said that such a path can be prepared in a week or two and at comparatively little expense.
Fastest in the World.
The San Francisco "World," referring to the new Sacramento cycle track, says:
The big Sacramento meet takes place on Sunday. June 6th, on which occasion will be opened what promises to be the fastest track that has yet been constructed in the world. It is a one-third mile affair, built of narrow strips of wood set on edge, similar to the construction of the Velodrome, and is under the control of the Capital City Wheelmen."
