thousands Of them. in addition to al
most every rider of the wheel, will find
in the races to be run this afternoon at
Agricultural park as good sport of that
character as has been offered the people
of Los Angeles for many day. If the
excellence of a race meet can ever be
judged by the perusal OF program and
its list of entries, glance at the names
following would indicate that there will
be some good hard riding this afternoon,
that the finishes will be close and excit-
ing and that the sport will be well worth
witnessing.
Among the wheelmen interest in the
meet has been pronounced ever since 1t
was known that one of the features of
the celebration of Admission day in Los
Angeles was to be race meet. The
racing men here and elsewhere have
been quietly but diligently training for
the events Of this afternoon and most of
them are now in condition to do their
best. The Eastside Cycle club and the
Associated Cycle dealers under whose
auspices the meet has been arranged,
have been more successful in their ef-
forts to secure donations of prizes than
they had hoped to be when they began
that part Of the work. More than one
hundred articles have been donated to
them by the leading merchants of the
city and all of them must be won BY
some of the riders.
It had been expected that Otto Zeig-
ler would be in attendance, but he will
la in toA
Seattle Tuesday and received injuries
which will prevent his racing for week
or more. w. B. Vaughan, Of Otay, the
San Diego demon, will arrive this morn
ing. He comes here to win, but he will
