ever, keeping open regular holiday hours,
from to 10 q. M, and to p. m. One
collection and delivery will be made in
the morning.
The bicycle races, under the auspices
of the Grown City Cycle club, will be the
events of the day. The 12-mlle handi-
cap road race in the morning is espe-
oially looked forward to with interest.
The riders will start at O'Clock from
the corner OF Colorado aud Madison
streets, thence east to Baldwin's ranch
and return over the same track. This
race, with 81 entries, should prove an
interesting event.
The roads this season Of the year are
far from being in good condition. which
will interfere somewhat with the-record
breaking intentions Of ambitious riders.
The course, however, 10 the best that
could be selected for the distance, and
the boys won't let any grass grow under
their tires.
The other races will take place at 8
p. m. on Orange Grove avenue, south OF
Colorado street, which will be the finish
ing point for all the events.
The one mile handicap has II entries.
and will be- sharply contested. The one
mile scratch and one mile novice will
both be we'll worth seeing.
