OF the West to be at the bicycle
Meet Friday and Saturday.
The entry lists for the state circuit
bicycle races to be held in this city on
Friday and Saturday OF this week
show that large quota OF the best
riders Of Wisconsin and adjoining
states will compete in both the pro-
fessional and amateur classes. There
are nearly 200 entries on the card for
the two days. Thus is insured some
excellent sport and the finishes prom
Use to be highly exciting and close.
In no meet of equal Importance sche-
duled this season has better show
ing as to competing riders been made,
and it would seem that nothing is
now lacking for the entire success of
the meet except an attendance as
large as the worth of the attractions
surely merit. With good weather
this will no doubt be evidenced.
Owing to the large number of en-
trants, it will be necessary to run
three heats in all the open races, thus
adding considerably to the length of
the program. The races will be start
ed each day at o'clock p. M. The
price of tickets is 25 cents, with Is
cents additionalfors seats in the stand.
Ample bus accommodation will be
provided for those desiring to ride to
and from the grounds. Private con-
veyances will be admitted to the
grounds free.
At meeting of the Watertown
Athletic club Monday evening final
arrangements for the meet were per-
fected. The grand stand is now being
erected, with seating capacity of
1000, and the finishing touches to
the track will be put on to morrow.
The track is very hard and in excel
lent condition. A committee Is at
work endeavoring to have business
men give their employees a half-holi-
day on one of the days Of the meet
and such a privilege would be greatly
appreciated all around. Our citizens
should take just pride in the affair
and do all in their power to encour-
age the management Of the meet, the
Importance of which to our city can
not be underestimate. Let all unite
in doing their utmost for it's success.
An interesting feature of the meet
will take place Saturday afternoon,
when w. E. Kenyon, of the Adlake
team, Chicago, will 60 for the one mile
state record. He viii be paced by q
tandem. The j. Andrae & Sons COM
