The Cycle expresses outrage that leading League officers are under criminal indictment in a New York court, forced to dodge detectives and avoid New York State, purely because they did what they believed best for the League, and calls on all wheelmen to back them with the full moral force of public opinion.

The Cycle denounces an unnamed manufacturer's bid to set a distance record using Mr. Huntley, because the attempt was made with pacers from all three classes — including the professional Crocker, the amateur Doane, and the promateur Burnham — making it a clear violation of A.C.U. rules that cost each pacer their status.

The Cycle documents how class-racing this autumn has been undermined by inadequate vetting of entrants: DeBlois with a one-mile record of 2m 43s entered a six-minute class and a 9m 30s class, and Crist and Foster with an 8m 40s record entered a 5m 45s class at Lynn, with no official handicapper available to exclude them.

The Cycle reports jealousy between Lynn and Springfield wheelmen, with Rowe refusing to race Hendee except on the Lynn track, while promoter Atkins takes his Columbia team to Springfield for better officials and timers, prompting Lynn men to call it a deal with Ducker.

The Cycle notes that the annual tour to the North Shore, attracting large numbers of ladies and gentlemen through one of the most attractive regions in America, has become one of the most popular runs of the cycling season and is now conducted under League auspices.
