national meeting OF the League OF Ameri-
can Wheelmen draws to a close the at
tendant crowds increase. Many who cared
more for the races than the sOciabihty
and picniCkng have waited to make their
appearance until the track events were
under way. Last evening the carnival on
Wesly Lake attracted an immense throng
TO the shores of the pretty pond, and the
spectacle they enjoyed was one of unusual
beauty and splendor.
The trials Were for the most part wei
worth seeing, and the scarcity OF accident
again was as welcome as il was unex-
pected. TWO or three bad tumbles oc-
CURED, however, in one OF which Frank
D. White, of Lynbrook, L. l., got a nasty
shaking up. In the afternoon perfect
weather greeted the riders and crowd
that completely filled the bleachers saw
a display OF wonderful riding.
