THE BICYCLE MEET.
The Association Has Already the Assur-
ance of a Grand Success

The tenth annual race meet of the
Wisconsin division, League of Ameri-
can Wheelmen, will be held this year
at Racine and in connection with the
national circuit races at that place on
July l, 2 and 3. All the crack riders
from the east are entered as we'll as the
local champions.
The Racine Athletic association, in
anticipation of the state bicycle races TO
be held there in July, is building a
quarter-mile cement track: the only
one in the state and the only one in the
country owned by the wheelmen. 1t
will cost about $4,000 complete, and in
finish and completeness be the equal of
any in the world.
At the meet to be held in Racine on
July l, 2 and 3, the state champion
ships will be run off. There are five of
them, one-fourth mile, one-half mile,
one mile, two mile and five mile.
Handsome gold medals are always given
for first and second and our local racers
should get themselves in trim and enter
for them In addition to the champion
ships there will be run eight other anna
teur races and nine professional races.
The total prize list is the largest ever
hung up in the state and exceeds
$4,000.
Reduced railroad rates from all
points have been granted to the Ra-
cine wheelmen on the occasion of their
races the first three days IN July. The
attendance will be large from all over
the northwest and our city will be no
exception, as these annual meets are a
source of great pleasure to the bicycle
boys and to go once is never to miss
them. The mere association together
of several thousand wheelmen is at
tractive and the social features, "runs,"
and smokers" are always a great
card in addition to the races.
Cement bicycle tracks are new
thing in the sport, and Wisconsin is
not behind, as the quarter mile track
now being built at Racine will be one
Of the best in the country. 1t was de-
signed by Hawley, of New York, and its
turns, which are the important part of
a track, are being built on 70 per cent.
of the theoretical. The method of fig
uring the exact slope is interesting,
and little later we will publish full
description and cuts of the track. The
outside of the turns are banked about
six feet higher than the inside and the
track is only sixteen feet wide, but this
great amount of banking is necessary
in order to keep the wheel on the track
while negotiating mile in lao.
