Road Riders Out In Force Yesterdav-Some
Fast Trials at Fleetwood.
Comment and gossip about tho interclub cup
races, past and to come. with several notable
displays of speed on the track. kept the interest
alive at Fleetwood yesterday among the men Of
the road who whiled away the morning on the
breezy piazza of tho club house. There was a
larger attendance than on any previous Sunday
since the season opened.
Lewis G. Tewksbury was among the early ar
rivals, driving his chestnut PAGERS Paul, 2:074,
and Lee H.. 2:l3. In doubl harness. Mr.. Tewks-
bury is one of the few New Workers who takes
his daily drive on the road before breakfast.
81 am out every morning In summer as early
as o O'Clock, and frequently at g." said the
owner Of Mascot to THE sun reporter yesterday.
.At that hour the air Is fresh and the roads are
deserted, so that one is free to let his horses step
along as fast as he likes on Seventh avenue
without having an officer raise his hand and
say Seven miles, please as they do later In the
day. when the mounted police are on duty.
YES, like q good PAGER as a road horse.
They are quick to get away at speed. seldom
break, and they seem to be faster than the best
of the ~trotters. A few years ago | desplsed a
pacer-wouldn't have accepted even such a pair
as Paul and Lee II. as a gift; but q friend one
day fairly dragged me out for a drive behind
one of the side-wheelers, and | soon came to like
them quite AS well as the trotters.'
