NO RACE FOR THE BOULEVARD.
Irvinston-Milburn Course Will Be
Used on Memorial Day.
The promoters OF the scheme to have
the annual twenty-five mile road race de-
cided on the Boulevard on May 80 are
very much disappointed by the decision
of the Race Committee of the M~etropoli-
tan Cyclers' Association, of which Will
Ccudder, of this city. is at the head, who
declared in favor of the old course
between Irvington and Milburn. The
to settle the question was held
cussed, but the members seemed unable to
break away from their old route where the
race has been decided ever since its
inauguration years ago. Several liberal
Inducements We're made to have the race
changed to this county, but they failed to
appeal to the committee. The Boulevard
would be the most desirable and is better
adapted in every way for the race and the
spectators,( and the wheelmen of this
city are very much dissatisfied with the
action of Chairman r. A. Brack, who
to decide in favor of the Hudson County
Boulevard had they so desired. The

it will be necessary to cover the dis
lance inside of l hour and Is minutes. The
committee will meet again on Friday night
when arrangements for the race will be
perfected.
