the Park To-day.

Johnson, Taylor, Dawson, Hyslop and
the Local Riders to Compete This
Afternoon-Boles, of Atlanta, and
Adams and Gerowe, of Jacksonville,
Here and the Charleston and Column
bia Delegations to Arrive This Morn
ing.
The spring meet of the Wheelmen's
Track Association viii take place to-day.
The races will start at o'clock, so that
those who 90 out to the track will leave
the city from 3 o'clock to 1880 O'Clock
Electric railway cars from any part of
the city win run direct to the park,
johnson and Taylor and the Sa-
vannah riders, who went to Atlanta
for the races there, returned yesterday
morning. 1t was expected that there
would be a large delegation from the
Atlanta meet. c. d. Boles, Atlanta's
crack rider, entered yesterday for all
then open races. Bald, who rode in COM
petition with Johnson, will not come,
though an effort was made to bring him
here. 1t is evident to racing men that he
does not care to ride against Johnson and
lose, and so will not enter
Gerowe and Adams, of Jacksonville ar
rived yesterday and were on the track in
the afternoon. Both are popular riders
and are we'll known TO those who have
attended the meets heretofore.
The Charleston and Columbia delega-
tions will arrive today.
