GENTLEMEN'S DRIVING CLUB.
Per J. NJ. Moore
CHARLES NJ. EVANS,
CHARLES SMITH, JR.
Charley Evans and Papa" Smith
have been training carefully for the
chariot-tandem race and are reported
to be in excellent form and fit to make
the race Of their lives. Their admirers
who nave seen them ride are willing
to stake considerable that they will
come off victorious
The horsemen are taking all the bets
that come their way and are backing
the chariot team heavily.
1t is reported that three of the four
horses that will be driven in the char
lot can do better than 80 seconds for a
half mile. Il this is true, the tandem
boys will have to break all past re-
cords for that distance to come out
winners.
The L. A. w. excursion Sunday last
was an enjoyable affair, although not
very largely attended. All voted &C.
neva an admirable place for an outing.
A number of L. A w members. adj
mirers of Chief Consul Butler. have
presented him with a fine gold watch
as a token of their esteem. Just to
show their appreciation of the way he
is conducting league affairs in the
Utah division
In all probability the Utah cham
pionship will be run off at Ogden this
year, as Salt Lake has no track that
is suitable for the occasion since the
Beck track has been placed on the
blacklist.
The wheelmen were out in force yes
terday and many pleasant runs were
made.
The first of the week Walling &. Co.
and Clinkenbeard, the bicycle dealers,
hired three or four boys to rake the
loose stones off the streets so that BIZ
cycles might be ridden with some com
fort. Chief of Police Ellis took this as
an insult to his chief Mayor Kasiska,
and chased the boys off the streets.
The next day. however. Kasiska had a.
couple of men raking the streets. Some
men have to be hit with a club before
they see the point.-Pocatello Tribune.
