Tennis Match.


The third of the series of race meets
that have been held by the Hudson Coun-
ty Wheelmen at the West Side track this
season will be held Saturday afternoon,
and viii be well patronized judging from
the great m of interest that is
shown. The Hudson County Wheelmen
have a fine programme, and it will be
marked by some hair raising finishes in
the races. The list of events is varied.
and in place of the open-to-all-comers
matches, the races will be for all riders
in Hudson county. The club has a popu-
lar place in the minds of the local cy-
chsts. They ave lone a world of good
in cycle racing in this county, and the
sport can be made a success. For the
event of Saturday every detail has been
seen to. and there cannot be the least
sign of failure through neglect. 1t will
be the third time the club has had an
open meet this year, and the Wheelmen
must move carefully to beat the former
records. The racing will be for all cy-
clers in the county, and has brought out a
splendid entry, the number being the larg-
est that has ever rode at one time from
this count Every rider of any conse-
Guenc in Hudson county will surely ride.
There is more than the usual interest in
the one mile scratch race in which there
are the most skillful riders in this coun-
ty. 1t will be a more representative set
than ever, and the rivalry between some
of the riders is red hot. The entry of
Jasper, Walter Roome, Tom Forth, the
last winner; William Darmer, c.. Dewey,
A. Ransom, b. C. Fuller and other well
known people in cycling on this side of
the river, is assured. The events will be
a half mile handicap, one mile cham
pionship and two mile handicap for all
county riders. A five mile club cham
plonship will be ridden. A one mile trial
will be ridden for a new record by Jack
Jasper, who is riding below 2:14, the Off
cial figures. Then there will be the two
mile pursuit race between the three trip
let teams, and a race by Harrison for the
enc hcur record. The first race will be
called at half-past two. Special stages
