More than 1000 people visited River
view cycle track Friday night, and all
we're pleased with the first local effort
in the direction of bicycle racing by
night All OF the events were interest
ing. One Of the surprises of the even
ingvwas William Stewards perform
ance. he winning first money in the
professional five-milo handicap. Turner
rode splendid mile In the mile
open, however, he was fouled by John
BON, whose handle bars broke. Turner
got third place.
P. II. Manning of Philadelphia fell,
striking his knee against post, and
WAS pretty badly hurt, and James
Lyons fell down an embankment and
dislocated his shoulder.
One of the features of the meet was
the quick move in all the events.
