the management this fail at the Interna-
tional Athletic Park This statement Is
made on good authority. After presenting
such a good program last Saturday and
receiving so little patronage from the pub
lie the management has become Disguised
and has decided to hold no more meets this
fall. The only thing that will alter this
sentiment is continuation of the inter-
division races, the first of which was run
of last Saturday 1t now hesins to look
though these races will not be contin-
ued- The Baltimore people do not seem to
be thoroughly impI essed with the scheme,
and their spirits are even more depressed
over the defeat of the team last Saturday.
The contract between the two manage
ments is with the international Athletic
Park Company of this city and the Park
Cycle Track Company of Baltimore. The
latter company has disbanded, and there
appears to be no one willing To take up its
obligations The race last Saturday was
secured only through the efforts of tie local
people and the sending OF an entry blank
TO each man of the Maryland team that
had been named in previous communica-
ton They responded all right The i'm
preston prevails that no more races of the
series will be run, though the local man
agement is perfectly willing to carry out
its part of the contract. 1t was thought
that the second race of the series would be
held this afternoon at baltimore but no
notification of the fact has been received
According to the proposition that had been
made. one race was to be run off every
week. and the fifth race of the series was
TO be held in this city on Thanksgiving
day.
The conjecture of tie weather for tomor-
row places the conditions cool. If this
be true the day ought to be an ideal one
for trip through the woods or an oyster
roast The weather for last Sunday was
excellent for road riding, and if tomor-
row is only as good as that day there will
be no objections raised by the cyclists.
Arlington WheeImen.
The boys of the Arlington Wheelmen
have their hands full especially the mem
bers who compose the club century team.

predict that the full membership will show
UP.
The club was in receipt of the prize ban
ner during the week, and they all voted it
was well worth the ride.
The date of the annual club races has
held Tuesday afternoon, but at the last
moment IL was decided to postpone the
same until Thanksgiving day, the same
date as the road race last year.
