THE BICYCLE RACES.

The following letter chiefly interesting to general amateur bicyclists, has been sent by the Bicycle committee to the leading sporting and bicycle journals :

CAMBRIDGE, MASS., April 12.

The Harvard Bicycle Club is compelled, owing to restrictions placed upon it by the athletic committee of the faculty, to make a change in the events to be given at the spring meeting, May 31. The open events will be changed into invitation races, for which invitations will be issued about May 1. The college events remain the same, and entries are requested for them. For the invitation races, no entrance-fee, of course, will be charged. The Harvard club hopes to receive the support of wheelmen generally, and does not wish to be thought exclusive. The change was made contrary to the wishes of the committee.

Yours, E. NORTON, President H. B. C.
