So pleased are the Arlington WheelnIen
with the result of their meet that they

1t will he held this fali and the club ex-
poets that the most famous professional
riders N the country will be IL attendance.
OF the number who were here Saturday
all but two volunteered the promise that
they would come to the city again if the
of them was pleased ana carries away the
kindest reniembrances.
No time has yet been set, of course, but
the matter has progressed So far that IL
committee Of the club talked the matter
over last night and made preparations 10
take the initial steps. The club came out
even on the Saturday event and has demon
strated the fact that Washington viii sup
port Il bicycle meet If il / s given the Op-
pOrtuDity.
SOME SUSPENSIONS PROBABLE.
Some of the entrants to the Saturday
races have gotten themselves into trouble.
Several did not enter the handicap race
as required by the rules, and number OF
professionals did not put in an appearance
at all. Neither did they send excuses.
The punishment for this is suspension
for thirty days or any length Of time the
national racing board may see fit. Referee
Simpson has sent his report OF the races
to Chairman Gideon and the matter is now
in his hands. Those reported were:
T. J. Cole, for not starting in the one
mile handicap; s. A. Winsett, for the
same reason; M. F. Carter, Baltimore; Ed.
Bringhurst, Philadelphia; c. Hatfield. New
Jersey; Harry b. Shoemaker, Baltimore;
George c. Wood, District of Columbia, all
for not appearing in the twO-inile pro
fessional handicap. They were not present
and sent no excuses.
Referee Simpson has made up his mind
that at the next meet held he Will exercise
his authority and clear the track Of all
persons not entitled TO places on il. He
asked the police several times Saturday to
get the people off the track, but they did
not succeed very well. On the next occas-
ion he will see that the track is kept per-
fectly clear, even If he has to leave the
grounds in order to enforce his authority.
c. A. Church. one Of the professionals
who had fall Saturday, was more severely
injured than was at first thought. 1t was
found yesterday on examination that he had
broken one Of the bones OF his right foot.
Yet he raced and won place in the finish
THE LEAGUE RUN.
The league run to Shady Side Saturday
night and Sunday was not the bowling
success il might have been. The roads
were in bad condition and the boys had
hard time of it. There Were two parties
of five riders each out oD the run.
One detachment left at midnight Satur-
day and the other Sunday morning at 8
O'Clock. Both reached home late Sunday
night The run was made by way of
Marlboro, Hill's Landing, Drury's, sudiey
and Shadyside. Two of the party, Messrs.
Robertson and Luke, on the way back
discovered short cut through the woods
Cd the run betw cen Drury's and Hills Land
ing 1t cut off over mile Of sand.
Not many OF the wheelmen in the city
think the fight reported about 10 begin
against the league will amount to anything
They think the cash league had the hest
show to win and it couldn't go They ex
pect some great changes. though, the com
ing year Chairman Gideon Will 20 out and
amateur racing will he done away with.
All will race for money.
