26		 THE HASTINGS AND ST. LEONARD BICYCLE CLUB. FIRST ANNUAL RACE MEETING. The first annual race meeting in connection with the Hastings and St. Leonards Bicycle Club, was held in the Central Cricket and Recreation Ground, on Wednesday. The weather was most inauspicious, heavy showers of rain falling during the afternoon; the attendance, therefore, was small. Mr Otho R Traver officiated as starter and Mr A J Lovett as judge. Mr French, of the Maidstone Bicycle Club, also assisted. The following are the results of the races :—

One Mile Club Championship Scratch Race. 1st prize, Championship Medal, presented Mr A J Lovett; 2nd, handsome Inkstand, presented by Messrs. Randle and Jenner : 3rd, Telescope, presented by Mr. Reed.

S S Thompson went away with the lead, Gilbert being second, Philcox third, and Lovett fourth. This order was maintained for sometime, when Thompson capsized, which threw him back into fourth place, about fifty yards behind Lovett. He, however, was soon up and at it again, being loudly cheered as he gained on the others. He soon overtook Lovett, and came in third, he having ridden exceedingly well. Gilbert was first, and Philcox second.

This was an excellent race, the competitors keeping well together for some time. Gilbert and Palmer then went a little ahead, and had a hard fight for first place.
