These defendants were the promoters of
the road race and they are now being
sued for certain prizes which they have

The plaintiff alleges that he paid his
81 entrance fee and was duly entered for
the race, that he rode in the
race and finished in the second posi-
tion, and was entitled to prize consist
ing of bedroom set valued at $40. The
plaintiff is a member of the East Side
Cycling club, and a prize consisting of
camera valued at SIS was offered by the
defendants to the rider of the East Side
club who finished first in the road race.
The plaintiff filed the bill and wants his
prize.
