A WANDERING CLUB.

The Latest Addition to the City Cycling Organizations. 

The latest entry to the circle of local cycling clubs is the Wanderers, which organized on October 16. The membership is limited to twenty and clubrooms have been established at Nineteenth and Guerrero streets.

The club is made up of enthusiastic wheelmen who don't care to scorch, who won't stick to well-known roads, however good, but who like to roam from place to place whenever a reasonable good road stretches before them, caring little for place, time or distinction, and only looking for a new place to drive their wheels. For this reason they have adopted the name of "Wanderers."

The officers so far elected are T. B. Bailey, president and captain; Harry Thompson, first lieutenant; Albert Smith, secretary and treasurer; executive committee —A. Haughton, W. Schaumleffel and H. Thompson; sergeant-at-arms, Charles Krueger. An emblem has not yet been adopted, but it has been thought that a comet would most fittingly typify the proclivities of the club and its members.
