Good. boys, five out of seven is not bad,
This is the way the Kedrney Hub
puts it: The wheels are going round
and round in everybody's head, and
wheelmen everywhere are bound, this
writer hears it said, to come to Kearney

track as ne'er twas burned beforh, and
class A 'dubs' will gently whack the
Aies from 81; where giants in the saucer
ring, and class B has few, will never
do single thing but make some records
new. Then come, good people, save
your dimes, for nickels will be cheap,
and be on hand that day. bedtimes. nor
give thought to sleep; for such events

The COURIER cannot say that the
contest has been fairly opened yet as
there are not more than eight hundred
votes in. These are scattered among
four gentlemen and five ladies. HE
COURIER does not think il best to pub
lish the list thus early and will not until
the aggregate number Of votes reaches
two thousand. Two of the ladies are
not yet members, so far as The COURIER
knows. of any cycle organization OF
the other three all are. That some good
work will have to be done, is evident by
