The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-06-25

Unless Jupiter Piuvius spoils the
promising prediction of the weather
man for today there will be one of the
most spirited road races u, Lake Como
this afternoon ever pulled off in the
Northwest.
The second annual road race Of the
.Laurel Cycle club has been the much
talked-Of event in cycling circles for
weeks past, and there Is every promise
that the meet will attract at least 10 O0o
people this afternoon to the shores OF
Lake Como
The popularity OF the Laurel club
was Well Endorsed last year by the sue
cess of the initial attempt of the club
In the racing business. and this year
even more enthusiasm has been shown
on every hand. as the smallest details
OF the race have been well looked af-
ter by the road race committee
Inc entry list, although not as large
as last year, includes the pick of the
local amateur talent, and the handl-
Gaping has been generally satisfac-
tory.
Last year the limit men got ten
minutes. but the road race committee
nave reduced the maximum allowance
TO eight minutes. which will give the
scratch men a chance to try for place
prizes and put the entire list on a more
equitable basis.
Yesterdays rains damaged the track
somewhat, but-a crew of workmen will
be put to work this morning to repair
1t.
Every rider entering the race is in
structed to report Immediately upon
finishing to DR.. M. o. Nelson, chairman
OF the road race committees; the name
or number of the rider finishing in
front Of him. This Is done to insure be
VGn0 Of koIx
rect record Of the riders az they finish.
This part of the programme is compul-
sorry, and unless complied with the rid
er will not be considered as finishing.
Checkers stands have been erected at
the finish and at several points around
the course. and dressing tents have
been pitched within easy access of the
starting point.
The prize list is sufficiently large to
give every man finishing in the race
a prize. The awards will be made next
Tuesday night at the club house of the
club.
