The Cycle corrects the Herald's claim that the League has sanctioned mixed amateur-promateur races, explaining that the N.C.U. has a special clause permitting sanctioned 'mixed' international races, and that international comity requires the League to respect this if invoked, while preferring English riders to come over openly as promateurs rather than disguising business arrangements.

The Cycle reports that important League by-law changes are planned for the Buffalo fall meeting, including restoring the right of the general membership to elect president and vice-president, and allowing large state divisions to provide for the election of representatives and chief consuls.
