tlonal circuit Races.
Chairman Gideon is working on a plan
whereby the national circuit races of next
year " Ill be put upon a business basis. His
idea IS 10 have appointed an Official judge,
an official referee, an official timer, an
official clerk OF the course, and perhaps
IN official Handicapped. He is securing
opinions ON the matter from his associ-
ates on the racing board and from the lead
ing manufacturers, and he " i'll recommend
that his suggestions BE- adopted at the next
meeting of the national assembly.
Mr. Gideon has said that he would not
officiate for another year i'll his position,
but those Oh the inside say that the chair
man VIII accept the place when the time
comes, provided The work is made easier.
He is certainly the best man for The posi-
tion in the United States at the present
time, owing to his apprenticeship in trying
times nj
IL is proposed to make possible the ap-
poiptinent of these officials by a levy
on each race meet promoter of a sufficient
sum 10 cover expenses, and there can be
little doubt that the race meet promoters

Will be avoided. The prizes have not
yet been chosen, but they will be announced
later ia the newspapers.
The day is to be devoted to record
making. There is an absence of records
in the District and the Intention is 20 try
and make a number. Anyone desiring a
PAGER can have him, but he must furnish
him himself. No entries are to be taken
at the track.
A good deal of interest is being expressed
in the five mile track record race and IL
is expected that George Ran VIII try 1t.
Fred Schade will not be contestant in
any OF the affairs, as ne lives In Virginia
and this is to be confined to District riders
entirely. The races arranged are as fol :

through rolling and pretty country until
he reaches Surrattsville, thirteen miles
away. BuI after ne leaves t!tiS little town
he strikes Burrh's bridge. The bridge itself

the other side is hnl, aud such hill.
II is soIue;niug ike climbing the side of
house 10 get up It, but once up there
is Il pretty good run To Tee Pee, three
quarters CT mile from Braudywinc.
BraudywEc is a station on the Popc's
Creek RaiiruId, and quite number or
the clubs have made runs 10 it. Good care
is always taken of bicycle riders here, as
there Is a good hotel.
From Braudywinc 10 Horse Head there
is a stretch of six miles of perfectly level
country and there is a good road most of
the way. six miles furt!.cr on is the
pretty little village of Woodvilc, filled
with the most hospitable people.
ALL KINDS OF ROAD.
After leaving wcodville one finds all
kinds of roads to Pautuxent. There are
three miles of clay and sand. At Pau
tuxent it is best TO inquire the road to
Charlotte Hail. as it is hard TO find. The
distance between the two places is six
and five-eighth miles. Charlotte Hall is
the seat Of boys military academy.
o. The next three and one-half miles of road
TO Mcchauicsville can scarcely be found
on account of the sand, and IT is better TO
ride the railroad track. The next seven
and one-half miles 10 st. Joseph are first
rate with tie exception Of one stretch of
sand three Quarters of q mile long 1t is
satd that the bottom has never been touched.
To Leonardtown it is then seven miles
and the road is quite good. The town
stands on Breton's Bay, an arm of the
Potomac The wharf Is half a m1e from
the town and three days in the week a
steamer can be taken to this city. In sum
mer a saHboat can he taken to Colton's,
where a steamer can be caught every day.
