quite interesting. Prof. Waldo Lyon, the trick and fancy rider, has been se- cured to give an exhibition. Lyon per- forms some wonderful feats with his wheel, and is one of the best in the busi- ness. The exhibition given by this rider alone is well worth the price of admission, which has been placed at 25 cents. In addition to the events already advertised race will be arranged, if possible, for the championship of New England. New ton is acknowledged the fastest man in Connecticut, and many think that he can- not be beaten by any class A rider. It is probable that this will be decided Satur- day. A large crowd from Willimanttc, and many from Norwich and New Lon don, are anxious to attend the races, and special rates will be secured on the Gen. tral Vermont railroad. The track has been put in good condition by Secretary Gary, and fast time may be expected. A good band will furnish music.
