THE ROAD RACE MONDAY
THERE WILL PROBABLY BE OVER
125 STARTERS IN THE BIG EVENT.
Prizes Aggregate About $SO0-Th Ose
cert Next Friday Evening.

the Broad Ripple course next Monday
promises to be one of the leading events
of the kind in the West and by far the
best event of the kind ever run in the
State. The list of prizes includes two of
the highest grade bicycles made and other
valuables worth in the neighborhood of
$500. The Chicago road race. in which it
is expected there will he 900 entries, has
a prize list not much more valuable than
this. The great Irvington- Milburn road
race, which is run annually near New
York city, offers a prize list worth only
$1,000 and this includes but four bicycles.
This race will not have to exceed one hun
hundred entries and probably not over
eighty.
1t is confidently expected that the race
her next Monday will have 125 and per-
haps $50 starters. Up to o'clock last night
sixty-fve entries had already been received

In Vienna, says the New York Journal.
You may have ridden your hundreds
of miles to get there, but to the noble
Austrian that signifieth nothing. Your
well-proved roadster must be sent to rooms
appointed by the City Council to be exam
ined. Then you must go yourself, mount
and dismount from both sides Of the wheel,
turn corners, ride in and out with twenty
others on the track-in fact, prove that you
are in all respects an experienced wheel

take to police headquarters. and receive in
