Mr. Editor,
Dear Sir:- seen that at the last meeting of the league of American wheelmen held in Louisville, Kentucky, February 28th, 1894, there was an amendment made to the Constitution to exclude the colored wheelmen, now it is our desire to have every colored wheelwriter to give us their assistance and cooperation and trying to organize a leave for the benefits of the colored wheelmen of America, as we have the material and the talent as well as our white brother, and which also needs greater development. This matter should be considered thoroughly by all who take interest in such things, and we would like to know the opinion of those in regards to the proposed league, and also to know at What place would be suitable for for a convention should we be successful in affecting a decision.
By order of Eureka wheel Club of Cleveland, Ohio.
PS- address all Communications, in care of FJ Isaac, corresponding secretary.
