a Brilliant Programme at the Wheel
mems Track.
A meeting of the committees for the
spring meet of the Wheelmen's Track
Association was held last night to make
the final arrangements. The indications
are that the meet will be one of the most
successful racing events the association
has ever given. Johnson and Taylor have
both entered the mile open race, the only
class B race on the programme
johnson will ride under the Savannah
Wheelmen's colors and Taylor will wear
the cOlors of the Waltham Cycling Club,
of Waltham, Mass. Dawson will wear
the colors of the New York Athletic Club
and Hyslop, the Canadian champion,
the Toronto Cycling Clubs colOrs.
j. A. Newsom, of Nashville, Tenn,
who has been training on the
track for the last three weeks uwill
also ride Gerowe the young Jackson
vile rider, who defeated Banker in the
quarter-mile hadicap last fall, has en-
tered the half-mile handicap, quarter
mile open and mile handicap events. Will
son, Connerat, Groth, Leopold and the
hinseys are also entered.
One of the prettiest events on the pro
CRANE is Johnson's ride for the mile
track record in which he will
be paced by Taylor. A lively IN
terest is being taken in the meet,
and 1T Is expected it will equal any
that has yet been given. 1t was expected
that Callahan and Murphy would
ride, but they were compelled to leave
for New York to enter the
Syracuse races on the 18th. johnson and
Taylor are the only class B riders here.
Glass B races are such as have prizes eX-
ceedlng $50 in value and are open to any
rider, under class B definition, according
to l.. A. w rules. A class A rider must
hold special permit to ride outside the
200 mile limit and exhibit it to be allowed
to ride. Riders that reside in this state
or live within 200 miles of place of meet
may ride in class a races, the prizes for
which DO not exceed so.
All Of the races are under L. A. w
rules, the meet being under the leagues
sanction. Most Of the riders in the meet
here will go to Atlanta for the meet there
on the 9th, returning the next day. and
will 90 from here to Charleston the day
following.
