themselves the question of title to the ma.
tional championship for the different dis
tances. The professional championships
will be ut a'quarter, half, one and five
miles, and tho one mile race will bring to
light that longed for inGividual-the mile
champion Of the United States. The two
amateur championships will be at mile
and two miles, and their decisions will
doubtless furnish repetition of the bit
terly contested struggles that have charac-
terized these events in former years. In
addition to the championship events there
will be four professional and three anna.
teur races-one and two mile handicaps
for each class, milo open and mile e :05
class) for professionals and third mile
open for amateurs. This long programme
will, In the opinion OF the race meet com.
mittoe, furnish much Excitement for the
crowd, and for that reason it was decided
to turn down the big list of trick riding
applicants, and entirely dispense with
that feature, which has become somewhat
monotonous IN recent years.
While the great event Of the season will
of course be the Philadelphia meeting, un
usual attention Is given the various races
making up the national circuit. In tn,
circuit this year are the chief riders of 1896,
with tho exception of Hamilton, Coulter,
Ziegler, Bliss and McCrea. When the L.
A. W. refused to sanction Sunday racing
the western states threatened to secede
from the national organization, and Cali
fornia mado good her threat to tho extent
of promoting Sunday racing Zegler
Coulter and McCrea, who had been on the
national circuit in previous years, were
persuaded to ride in these unsanctioned
races, with the result that they have been
suspended for two years by the racing
board. This will prevent their appearance
on the national circuit, whilo Hamilton
has retired, as has Bliss. Among the new
men seen on the circuit this year are Mi
chael, the phenomenal Welsh rider; Lesna,
tho famous French long distance rider
Parsons, the Australian who has ridden
in this country before and number of
new men who have shown remarkable
powers and seem able to hold their own.
The great events stimulate racing in gen.
eral, and several of the fair sex have shown
phenomenal ability, among whom Lottie
Farnsworth deserves special mention for
both speed and graceful bearing.
Teams have been practically selected
and arrangements have been concluded
for the first great team race of the west
against the east. The Charles river park
management In Boston was cunning
enough to sec the advantage Of such con-
test and made an offer Of purse of 81 900,
which the men accepted. The pursuit"
plan OF contest has been adopted, the
teams starting from opposite sides of the
track. Whichever team Is in the lead at
the five miles, whether it with one man In
the lead or all, will he adjudged the win
ner Of the contest and will receive 60 per
cent Of the purse of 81 900 which has been
offered. Tho losing team takes the 40 per
cent remaining. The contest will take
place at the national circuit meet in Bos-
ton, Aug. 90, and will attract national in
terest.
Earl Kiscr, IL Is autboritatively an
nounced, will go for oil the records up to
and including the mile ut tho close Of tho
present season. Kiser Is not q novice at
this style Of game, as he spent all Of a
winter In record breaking camp In Cali
fornia In 1895-96. Kiscr lowered the third
and half mile records at that time with
inferior pacing and with Randall caught
nnumber Of the tandem records.
