![]() ![]() Two Serenades September 1, 1911 Napa, California "Twenty members of the Napa Motorcycle Club and friends serenaded Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Hancock at their home at 1100 West Second street Friday night. Mr. Hancock, President of the club, who was recently married, was taken by surprise, but he and his wife invited the company in, and entertained them in pleasant manner. The visitors brought some ice cream and cake along, so that eatables were not lacking. Captain Otto Fischer, on behalf of the club, presented the couple with a handsome set of silver knives, forks and spoons. At about 11:30 all left for the residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. Staton, on Seminary street, who were also recently married. This couple were also serenaded, and responded by greeting the visitors." "Motor Club September 23 & 24, 1911 Wilfred Hancock - President Geo. Bernhard - Secretary and Treasurer Otto Fisher - Captain ![]() Sunday morning, Fisher and Thomas were left behind in S.F. Borette and friend also left behind in Oakland. Fisher's only excuse was that he overslept; it may be so, but I don't know. 7:30 Hollingsworth, Hancock, and Borette all reported at the Excelsior Agency and waited for O. Hawkin, H. Hawkin, and Beans and those that did not appear who were Fisher, Thomas & wife, and Adams. My, such a bunch of tag bums! 6 started at 7:40 Livermore without the remaining laggards. The first mishap was H. Hawkin ran over a man; nothing very serious. Next, Beans got run over, sprung his forks, smashed his lamp and battered up his machine a little, nothing too serious to ride. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() W.
