The state management should en-
deavor to build the bicycle boys three
zap track for next fair. The Lone Oak
track while ve'y fast for horses is
is not conducive to good bicycle time.
Bicycling is the crowning sport and
should be encouraged. Bicyclists, like
horsemen, perform better before o
crowd. With three lap track inside
the present one the bicycle races can
be run in the afternoon between the
heats of the races. This will do away
with the tedious waiting between
heats and at the same time the boys
! will hot be playing TO an almost empty
grand stand.
