rHE MILBURy moan RACE.
Arrangements Made 60 Hold tbe bicycle
Race on the Old Course.

AN'
The action Of the Race Committee Of the
Metropolitan Association OF Cycling Clubs IN
deciding to hold the annual twenty-five mile
handicap road race Mt Milburn this season has
been received with satisfaction by the metropol-
itan clubs and the racing men.
X. q. Belts. a member OF the Race Committee.
informed The SuN reporter yesterday that the
committee selected this course for the race this
year fearing that a course more convenient to the
city would bring out more entries than the com
mittee could handle or 1t would not be safe to
allow to start in the race. The fact that the
annual Decoration Day road race has since its
inception been held ut Milburn also actuated
the members to vote for IL this year.
Mr.. Belts claims that IL Is anticipated that the
entries for the race this year will exceed 200, in
which case II Is contemplated placing n limit OF
time and valuable position prizes this year will
be the means VI inducing road racing men from
all parts Of the country to compete.
Racing teams from the clubs In this vicinity
are already in training for the race. and the
lnter-club rivalry in this section Is expected to
bring out all the local flyers.
Frank p. Prial Will allot the handicaps for the
race. aud the time limit will be placed at II low
figure this year in order to make the race a rec
ord affair.
II has been rumored that the big crowds that
attend the race each year was regarded as Il
drawback by the town authorities OF lrvinRtOn
and Milhurn, and that Official steps would De
taken this year TO forbid the race being held.
This story Is denied. ana the officials OF tho
Metropolitan Association say tina the town au-
thorities have consented to the race taking
place as usual.
