THE WHEELMEN.
The Trial Heats Witnessed by Large Crowd. High Order of Racing Accidents.
 Summaries.

Asbury Park, N. J., July 1.-The rain which fell this morning upon the trial heats of the first days racing of the League of American Wheelmen's na- tional meet ceased before the afternoons work began, although lowering clouds fingered and damp breezes threatened during the entire session. The weather, however, had little diminishing effect upon the crowd, which completely filled the grand stand and went a long way out on the new bleachers. The racing was all of high order and unexpectedly, free from accidents, considering the dan gerous banking on the turns. It was a great days sport, but better is promised for tomorrow and Saturday.
