Twelfth event-F'inalS of the mile
handicap, professional
R. P. Alyward, the most skillful
trainer in the United States, has ar
rived and yesterday while examining
the track and the work of the men now
at Oak Park gave to the committee his
opinion to the effect that the track is
almost a copy of that at Louisville
KY. He believes that it is one of the
fastest tracks in America, and will not
be surprised if it proves faster than
any yet built. He says that the facili-
ties for handling the men and working
off speed events are unsurpassed and
he expects the meet of the 9th inst to
prove the best crackajack of the coast
Allan Jones, now in training at the
park, phenomenal rider, yesterday
expressed himself as entirely satisfied
with the track. The banking up, he
says. is about perfect, and he sees no
reason why some worlds records should
not be beaten on it in the meet about to
come off.
Yesterday Jones in training made one
mile, paced, in 1:59 % In the first
and second laps he was paced by Will
SON and Bauer on a tandem, neither
man in condition, not having ridden
tandem together on the track before.
In the last lap the pacing was by J.
Hirsch in So fiat Had the tandem
men been in condition the time would
have been below the fifties, say the ex-
perts.
Alyward and Bford yesterday rode
a tandem and paced Hirsch, Jones and
Leitch. making the one-third mile in
30 %. This is at a rate of LAG 1-5.
The Sacramento boys hung on well,
Leitch beating Hirsch in.
The reserved seats are selling we'll at
Eagleson's, Seventh and J, and Atwater
& Co.'s, Fifth and K streets Reports
from the railroad company are that it
is receiving very many applications for
special rates and excursion cars, and
that the indications are for large at
tendance that viii come by rail. Some
of the excursionists who were to come
in on the morning Of the meet, are now
applying for rates to arrive Saturday
evening.
The interest in the meet is growing
