BICYCLE RACE ENTRIES
MANY VISITORS WILL ATTEND THE
l.. A. w. STATE MEET.
A Run for Them Over the Ripple
Path--TriaI Heats in Morning
~ Racing at Night.

The Indiana State L. A. w meet will be
held to-day and with good weather Indian
apolis will probably see the largest gather
ing of wheelmen ever witnessed in the State.
They began to arrive yesterday from remote
points by train and a, few rode into the city
on their wheels. Among the latter were
William Gray and Horace Dennie, of Bos-
ton, Mass. They are making a trip from
Boston to San Francisco for pleasure and
are incidentally advertising the wheels they
ride. They left Boston May 20 and have
ridden 1859 miles. They are travelling slow
ly and enjoying themselves as they go. They
expect to reach the Pacific coast by about
Sept. /. -..-~9 .,34si sesrs n.
The visitors arriving by train were met
at the Union Stationoby members Of the
escort committee and taken to the club
house on North Meridian street and from
there to hotels and boarding houses. The
clubhouse presented lively appearance
yesterday Nearly all the members of the
club managed to spend some time there, as
sisting the regularly appointed reception
committee in making, things pleasant for
the visitors. grsfreff,6ra
The programme for the entertainment of
the visitors will begin early this morning
with run over the Broad Ripple cycle
path, starting from the clubhouse at about
$50 o'clock this morning. Members of the
escort committee will be on hand all day,
however, and Will accompany bodies of
wheelmen over any of the short runs about
the city. The committee will also meet all
visitors as they arrive at the Union Station
and escort them to the clubhouse and fur
nish such information as may be requested
There was some talk yesterday of chang
ing the programme as adopted by putting
the trial heats off until the afternoon, run
ming them Immediately before the finals.
This plan will hardly be adopted, however
as it would be impracticable, from finan-
cial standpoint, even though there be suf-
ficient time to run both the trials and finals
in the afternoon. Being division meet, the
league ticket must admit holders to the
trial heats. If this right should not be re-
garded the sanction would be invalid, all
the riders would be subject to discipline and
the track would have to be put on the list
Of those to which sanctions would be re-
fused, at least for limited time. The track
kind and It could not AFFORD to admit bo i,5s
ers of league tickets free to the finals 1t
would therefore be a bad piece of manage
ment to postpone the trial heats until after
noon. Holders. of league tickets could insist
on being admitted free and once in it would
be impossible to collect a fee from them
for witnessing the finals.
1t Is probable, therefore, that the pro-
gramme as adopted a few days ago will pre-
vail. The committee on registration will be
at the clubhouse all morning to register
league members, During the morning there
will be a meeting of the board of officers of
the Indiana division and a meeting of the
board OF. governors of the club. The trial
beats will be run off beginning at o'clock.
The run to Broad Ripple will start at $3.50.
The races will be run afternoon and even
ing and at night the day will wind up with
a smoker after the races.
