rade Being Arranged.

Is now an assured fact and takes place
during conference, Friday and Saturday,
Oct. 6 and z The programme will en-
brace q choice selection of races and will
no doubt attract much larger attendance
than at the recent races in September.
Now that we have fine track, cycle rae
ing viii hereafter be an established factor
sn the list of attractions for the general
public, and the track association will en-
deavor to present an attractive programme
on each and every occasion. 1t is hoped
that Ogden, Logan and Provo will be rep
resented in the coming contests. There
are good riders in ell these towns, and If
they viii but decide to enter there is no
doubt of their carrying away some OF the
prizes, most of which will be valuable
and worth the winning. We want to
hear from our sister cities.
At the meeting of the Social Wheel club
last Wednesday evening. it was decided
to hold the annual smile handicap road
race on next Friday, September 22ndss
This race viii be open only to members
of the club and entries must be made be-
fore the Goth and III the hands of the ham
dicapper. Entry blanks can be procured
1t all the principal cycle agencies or at
the secretary's office, SO Commercial
block. There viii be a first and second
prize, also gold and silver medal for
time prizes. These medals were won last
year by Angel, Brown and Emise.
Brown and Angel having each won the

times By a competitor in order to become
l.
from Third South and the east drive to
Twelfth South (Penitentiary road) to
West Temple, finishing a quarter mile
south of Ninth South on the west drive.
Everybody should see the race.
The question of a proper costume for
lady riders is still unsolved. We have
noticed on the drive a lady who has
pinned her faith to boomers and GER
taInly to all appearances she finds them
very convenient and comfortable for rid
ing. In the A 9 club of this city the
ladies have tried variety of dresses
with more or less satisfaction,
but their experience with ordinary
Jeans cloth has led them to adopt this
material for the skirt, as it combines SO
many advantages for this particular pur-
q valve broke on one of the wheels be-
longing to a lady member, and the re-
turn trip was made on a gentleman's
wheel with no discomfort whatever-the
wide jeans skirt serving the same purpose
rs divided skirts. Several members of this
club are in favor of divided skirts, but the
writer believes the plain skirt with plenty
of length and width can be made to
answer a lady's purpose with perfect
comfort and safety and looks decidedly
better than a compromise on partially
masculine attire. The French. however,
believe in the use of Turkish trousers and
the streets on the outskirts Of Paris are
alive with lady wheelmen attired in this
costume.
One of the longest trips of the season
was made last Saturday TO Logan, by Mr..
Game and his son, Brown and Osborn
Angel. The party left here at 6 in the
morning arriving at Logan at 9 the same
evening. The trip would have been made
in much less time had there been no acci-
dents nor wstermelons in the way. The
boys spent a very pleasant Sunday at
Logan. being the guests OF Mr.. Caine's
brother, who is professor in the Agri-
cultural college at that place. Re-
turning, the quartette had scarcely
completed the thirtieth mile be-
fore hard wind was encountered and
the balance of the trip (some seventy-hve
miles, was made with this wind directly
against them. Coming across the Sand
Ridge the wind blew almost hurricane,
filling eyes, nose and mouth with fine
sand and making progress very difficult
They reached the city at 10 o'clock, pretty
well tired out. The trip is rather too
much for one day, being somewhat over
hundred miles. Many fine photographs
