Against Road Racing.

Chairman Mott of tho League of Amer
lean Wheelmen racing board is out i'll
communication against cycle road races.
He says tho original plan of advertising
tho giyers of prizes has gradually been
eclipsed and only the various race "com-
mittecs" know what manufacturers
have been generous. Continuing, he says
Road races, too, do more to bring
cycling into disrcpute than any other
ono thing. 1t is IL lawlcss proceeding
anyway. Of course, the best highways
arc chosen, and up and down these from
30 to 100 riders go tearing along mt Il
pace which threatens their own safety
and thut of all others who happen to
uso that road. Consequently special
laws are provoked, which apply every
day and to all wheelmen. Tho enor-
nous crowds of whcelmen who collect
to soc these events, some of them ire
sponsiblo and unthinliing people, be-
como reckless with the power of SYM
pathizing multitudes and occasionally
do some outrageous acts to horses and
horsemen who presume to use public
road on that day. Harnesses have been
cut. carriages torn to pieces and drivers
have been beaten in the wild excitement

ing to the interests of cycling'
