THE LIBERTY CYCLING CLUB OF SAN FRANCISCO. [From a photograph taken for the "Examiner." |
On the 20th of last September J. Irelan, C. Bouton, W. Irelan and J. McLaughlin, four cycling enthusiasts, met and organized what is known as the Liberty Cycling Club, the "torch and crescent" were adopted for an emblem and white and gold for club colors.
The first meetings were held at the houses of the different members, until it was decided to have permanent rooms.
The Libertys are now conveniently located at 505 Capp street, a few blocks from the California Cycling Club, and in the heart of the Mission smooth-pavement riding district. The membership at present is twenty and new members are being received at almost every meeting. Though most of the members are under twenty years of age, all are good road riders and take road runs every pleasant Sunday.
At the last meeting of the Liberty C. C. notice of its election to the Associated Clubs was received and the following members of the Libertys were elected to the Board of Governors of the California Associated Cycling Clubs: H. E. Morton, B. Bouton and J. McLaughlin. The present officers of the Liberty Cycling Club are: President, H. E. Morton; Secretary-Treasurer, B. Bouton; Captain, A. Schmitz; First Lieutenant, C. Bouton. Most of the local clubs had runs mapped out for tomorrow, but the heavy rain will stop them all.

THE group of bloomer girls shown in the above engraving are all members of the ladies' branch of the Liberty Cycling Club, and all ride the Liberty bicycle. They are a happy-looking lot and may be seen most any pleasant Sunday on the Park roads.
