Preparations are being pushed rapidly s
for the electric light race meet on the t
Riverton track. 1t will be held next c
Tuesday evening, under the auspices of
the Park Avenue Wheelmen. An inter- a
sstIng programme has been prepared, the
events of which will be the one
and five mile handlcaps. These two lat a
Ter races have become standing events at T
The Riverton track, and no race meet is
considered complete there without them
IN the programme. E. A. Bofnger will
be on scratch in both events. which Is a
sufficient guarantee that the finals will be
not from start to finish. A special fea I
lure of the occasion will be the attempt $
Of Billy Taxis, of the Century Wheel I
men, to break the mile record with pace L
makers. The track will be put into the
inest possible shape and the fastest pace e
makers that can be secured will be pro- \
cured. It is possible that several crack v
may be engaged to pace v
raxis. In addition to Taxis, F. ]. Titus, Il
who holds the championship one hour L
record, and Henry Tyler may also be on a
hand for that night, as the management
is making every possible effort to secure
hem. As this will be the first time cleo Q
.ric light night racing has been tried in L
his vicinity for many years, the event in
Itself should prove a great novelty. In
order to make sure that there will be no
failure of the lighting of the track the Q
committee in charge will have in use six L
huge locomotive headlights, six stands of
ed fire, two calcium search lights and an q
immense circus light.
