WHITE LOT SPEEDWAY.
Bicycle Riders Arrested for Fms,
Riding.

BicycliSts must hereafter select some
other track for training than the roadway
surrounding the ellpSe of the White Lot
Up to yesterday the roadway mentioned
has been favorite place for scorchers,
particularly during the past two weeks,
and each afternoon it has been the rule
for as many as a hundred wheeImcn 10
gather there to speed or TO watch others
riding against time. Policemen have in
dulged in the sport and looked on approv-
rsly: so that when squad of special
park officers yesterday afternoon swooped
down on the cyclists and placed three of
thelr number under arrest the action had
somewhat the effect of a thunderbolt
In the Police Court this afternoon the
details of the situation were fully dis
cussed. The young men charged with
exceeding the limit of speed fixed by law
We're John Hager, Jacob Chase and Frank
Davidson. and they, in addition to a score
or more Of other cyclists. were present
when the cases We're called.
1t was explained to the court that ever
since the bicycle regulations were put into
erect they have not applied to the White
Lot. Cyclists so 1t was testified. have
been permitted to scorch to their hearts
content. and have been informed by police
men time and again that no objection ex-
listed to fast riding. And. again, so 1t Was
set forth, certain members of the police
bicycle squad have been doing their train
ing in the White Lot for a proposed road
race, as well as riding at a greater rate
of speed than twelve miles an hour at
times. In the opinion of the wheelmen it
was unjust to them that a man should be
permitted to scorch merely because he wore
the badge of the metropolitan police
If policemen, at other, times than in the
discharge of their duty violate the law
relating to bicycles I shall fine them as
quickly as ! will any. other person." said
