Everything is in readiness FOR the open

on Labor day. The entries closed last
night and the handicaps have been made
up. From the list Of entries the compe-
titiou viii be sharp. and there will be an
opportunity to witness some Of the best
racing on that day that has yet been seen
- In Savannah
Both Bairds Of Charleston have entered
and a number of fast riders from other
cities. A rivalry has sprung up among
local riders. and many Of them have been
working hard for the last mouth TO get in
condition for the races.
CRACK RIDERS COMING.
When the Savannah Wheelmen held
their opening meet last February their
riders were inexperienced, and such
thing as systematic training was IN
known. The seven months that have
elapsed since that time have wrought
wonderful changes. They now boast Of
riders that are among the fastest IN the
south, and some viii push Isaac Baird
hard if he expects to win.
This shows great promise for the local
riders, and if so much has been accom-
plished in seven months it can confidently
be expected that there will be some fine
riders in the near future.
Notwithstanding the grand stand suf-
fered severely in the storm il will be re-
built in time for the meet. A large force
of men was put to work Immediately, and
the contractor has given assurance that IL
