LAST SATURDAYS RACES.
The bicy Gle racing at Riverside Cycle park,
Saturday, August IA, held under l.. A. W.
sanction and rules, was considered by able
critics a good exhibition. The attendance
was light, owing to variety of reasons
chiefly that the day previous many of the
people were in attendance at
Chester, and that Springfield is not enthusi-
astlc over sporting matters, sufficiently to
appreciate good riding, when they see it.

The feature of the race most attractive to
many, was the trick riding by Master Arthur
Bowler, the little wonder of the Granite
state, and his brother, Master Leon Bowler.
The dav was bright and pleasant Wednes-
lay last for the Methodist picnic, and the
place chosen near the mills, was all that

lnce and the usual good time.
