The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1897-06-25

Among the Many Pleasures -
Grounds and Track in Perfect
Order = Everyone Should Come
to the Meet.
Practically everything is in readiness
for the influx of Maryland wheelmen,
who will make Frederick their head
quarters, during the three days of the
State Bicycle Meet, July Srd, 4th and
5th, with the exception of few minor
details that came up at the last moment.
There are yet numbers of entries to be
received and it is probable that the list
will be kept open to the last minute for
the accommodation of late arrivals.
Those already received give promise of
great competition for the very beautiful
prizes and cash premiums offered. Mr..
J. Knight McDannold, of this city, has
donated an exquisite loving cup, valued
at $3.50, for the club race to be won thrice
before becoming the property of the
successful team. Kirk & Son of Balti-
more are the designers and it will be
ready in a few days. 1t will be on ex-
hibition in Baltimore before coming
here. Besides this, there are numbers
of medals and plate prizes for the differ
ent events, which are given in detail
below The CITIZEN comes out the
first day of the Meet and will contain
all the particulars.
1t is expected that many well-known
professionals will be entered in the
races and some fast time will be made
over the excellent track, which is now
in perfect condition.
Every indication points to an i'm
mense crowd of wheelmen and specta-
tors and the railroads have offered re-
duced rates from all points.
