probably the largest that ever will be held
in this city. Thirty entries are now on the
books. which comprise the best men in the
United States In the art of navigating on
wheels. The Chicago meeting, of course,
has made possible the success OF an inter-
national meeting here. Some OF the
best speed exhibited there Will follow
the circuit to this city. Nearly all the
bicy Gle men of Indianapolis are now in
Chicago. and will zoe that the best men will
come from there TO this CITY. The generous
prizes offered will certainly persuade them

the prominent men who will compete.
