Winding Up the Season Of Local
Cycle Races.
TEE GENE FIELD MONUMENT FUND
Meeting Of the Basket Ball League
Tonight.
OFFICIAL BASE BALL SCORES

Interest in the record race meet Satur-
day at the International Athletic Park is
greatly increasing among local racing men.
1t will virtually be wheelmen's field day,
and some good racing can be expected.
The open events will be competed for with
more vim than in previous races. owing to
the fact that 1t is the closing day at the
park, ard most likely the closing open
races Of the season. In the record at
tempts there will be more display than
was at first anticipated. as the local men
are anxious to secure records, If only to
hold them for a short time.
The one-mile District championship tan
dem race Is also likely to prove a sur
prise. Paul Won Boeckman and e. A.
Pitkin of the Queer Wheelmen and Harry
z. Greer and George f. Smith of the Wash
ington Road Club were looked upon as the
closest competitors for the honor Now
1t is understood that change has been
made in the first tandem team. and that
Pitkin will not ride. E. L. Wilson Is said
to have taken his place. In this race
there will be pacing furnished by George
s. Ball and Fred. Schade, the two men
who came In second in the race at the ma
tional circuit meet, but who are not eli
gible to race for the District champion
ship. Schade has also entered the two
open events and will make a lively race.

THE BEST AND

A large delegation Of our people will
go to St. Louis on the 10Th and goth to
attend the National Peoples party con
vention and the silver convention. The
goth will be the best day to start from
this State. There are four or five
routes and delegates can select either.
You can go via Atlanta or Asheville.
Delegates in the extreme Western
part of the State will 60 by the Ashe
vile and Chattanooga route. But those
in the Eastern, Southern, Central and
Northern part of the State will no
doubt select the route via Raleigh,
Greensboro, Charlottesville and Gin
cinnati, in preference to the long,
tedious, and uuinteresting route via
Atlanta. Delegates from the East can
get together at G~Jldsboro and go via
Raleigh. Delegates from the Southern
part Of the State can come by Colds
boro, Raleigh or Charlotte, all getting
together at Greensboro. Mr.. Chas. L
Hopkins, of Charlotte, N. G., Gen.

way, states that he will start a special
car at Raleigh or Greensboro and &c
company the delegates through to st
Louis without change, if enough dele
gates will write him stating that they
will join the party at Raleigh and
Greensboro on a certain date. This is
the very best plan possible. This
special coach will cost no more than to
go on other trains. You will not
have to get out of it until you
reach St Louis, no danger of taking
be attached to the fastest trains and
you can leave Goldsboro or any point
on the Southern main lines Monday
morning and get to st. Louis late
Tuesday afternoon, being out but one
night. Monday the goth will be the
best day for the special car, as dele
gates will reach st. Louis and can get
a full nights rest before the COnven-
ton begins. You will pass through
part of Virginia, West Virginia, OGio
| and Missouri, the mountain scenery
along part part of the route through
the Virginias being equal to any in the
| United States, and the cool breezes will
add to your comfort. Delegates South
Of Greensboro, and other parts of the
State, can start in time to make con
nection and go in the special car, which
will pass there at II noon on Monday
All delegates wishing t. go this route
will please send their names to Mr..
Hopkins at Charlotte or The PRoGREs
sIvE FARMER at once, or at least five
days before the daT to start, stating
where you will lin the special car and
if Monday the goth will suit you, Per,
sons living off the maia line of the
Southern Railway will leave home the
day before, or in time to make the main
lines as per the special schedule pub
lished elsewhere IN this paper.
