Quite Confident of Getting II Place.
Long List OF Prizes.

1t will not be the fault OF Capt. Wilson
II the twenty mile run OF the Dupont Cycle
Club, which takes place on the Conduit
road this afternoon, is not Il success He
has worked hard to make il one OF the best
runs of the year and the outlook is for a
great race.
There are thirty seven entries for the race,
with w. +. Sims on scratch. q. Leather
bury, G.. s. Ball and C. L. Cause have
start of two minutes. Sims friends expect
TO see him win the event handily and it is a
hard matter to see why lie should not do 50.
His most dangerous rival FOR the first prize
would appear to be Cause, of the Washing
ton Road Club.
CAUSES FAST WORK
This man is in good trim just a present
and his friends predict that he viii furnish
the winner. He has been doing some very
fast work on the track at Columbia Field
and il is claimed that he is thoroughly
game and can stay distance.
Leatherbury is, OF course, dangerous
man, but il is claimed by some that he is
not up 10 a hard race. This may be true
but he evidently does not think so and has
been advising his friends 10 get their
money down on him.
Balls good work on Saturday in the races
at Van Ness Park entities him 10 some
too good for him and he viii hardly be
dangerous. or course, he may be dark
horse with something up his sleeve. This
is hardly likely and he will do well If lie
is anywhere near the leaders at the finish.
The start for the race will be made
promptly at o'clock from the first res
ervoir on the way out, and VIII be ten
miles and return, the turn being made
around a tree which stands in front OF the
Angelus clubhouse.
