Lucian Lesna, the Swiss, who is now in this
country, Is anxious to meet Michael or any of
the leading American distance men In q match
race. but so far he has been unsuccessful.
Nettled at his failure to get on a match, he has
issued the following challenger: II hereby chal-
lenge James Michael or Frank Starbuck TO ride
amatch race Of from twenty miles up, paced, at
any time prior to Sept. Is, on any
Eastern track" Lesna's object in visiting
this country was to get on a match
with Michael. but the %latter's manager seems TO
manager hos been almost two months in the
country with me. and, has been SO far unable to
arrange a single match for me. This Is through
no fault OF ours" Arrangements were about
contaminated for a match between Michael and
Lesna, when the former expressed his deter
competition events. He has not stuck to this
resolution, and Lesna naturally feels slighted.
