scratch, will be run off in the afternoon,
and in the evening there will be a half

seconds yesterday afternoon, which is at
gait of las for the mile, pretty lively
going.

W. a. Terrill of the Bay City Wheelmen,
who is usually known as bob" is one of
the fastest professional riders on the track
to-day. He went East last spring and
rode the entire year on the National cir
cult with the Syracuse team. Although
twice disabled by bad falls, which in
capacitated ed him from riding for weeks at
time, his percentage at the end of the
season was remarkably good. He spent
the recent winter at Coronado with the
record teams and was instrumental in Sc
curing several of those that were made,
some of which he holds himself. At the
races at Central Park last Saturday Terrill
surprised his friends by his wonderful rid
ing, and there was only one man on the
track-WeIls-who was his equal. He beat
Foster, Coulter, McCrea, Davis and the
other professionals with ease, and the two
Bay Citys-Wells and Terrill-carried
everything before them. winning first and
second, respectively, in the two pro-
fessional events of the meet. Terriil is
nearly six feet tall and in condition rides
at about 100 pounds. He is very quiet and
retiring, rides his races fairly, and is pop
ular with his competitors, officials and
racemeet-goers in general
