Events, Entries and Results Of the Bicycle

When the judges called the first race
at the Exposition grounds yesterday af-
ternoon at 4 o'clock the sun baked down
upon the poor, helpless spectators with an
intensity Of something Ike % degrees
sun standing collars and shirt bosoms
with the finish Of steam laundry didn't
stand the shadow OF show, and the
general verdict was that the judges stand
wasn't far removed from the torrid re-
gions.
The wheelmen who contested FOR the
many handsome prizes acquitted them
selves with surprisinSiy hlsh uesIee
OF credit and the several bundred people
who witnessed the events in spite OF
the extreme heat, felt repaid for their
time, for II was an interesting slSht 10 see
Temple break the track record IN the
half-mile open, and Carr, Prentlss, Nye
and Harvey proved beyond a doubt that
they had ridden a wheel before.
The races were under the auspices or the
Owl cycle Club. and something like $5v
in prizes was carried of. The Only era" %
