Arrangements for the Como road race.
which takes place Saturday afternoon,
! under the auspices of the Laurel Cycle
! club, are rapidly nearing completion,
| and the event promises to be one of
the best that has ever been held in
st. Paul.
1t has been the original intention to
close the entries at midnight last night,
but word was received from a num- Der
of Minneapolis men that they had over
looked the fact that yesterday was the
last day that entries would be received
and that if the list was closed they
would not be able to get in. Owing 20
this the road race committee decide
last night to hold the entries open Until
tonight. At midnight last night the en-
tries that had been received were as

The members Of the club and The
race officials have used every means
in horsepower to make the race a sue
cess, and it is promised that the con-
fusion Of last year will not be repeated
owing to the, system to be employed.
One of the conditions of the race is
that every man finishing must report
at once to the chairman of the race
committee. and give his own name and
number and either the name or num-
Der of the man that finished in front Of
him. This is an arbitrary rule under
stood by every man that has entered,
and if not followed the man who vio-
lates it will be considered as not finish
ing. 1t is believed that this will be a
great help to checkers and will also be
a check on their returns at the finish.
There is to be one principal checker
at the finish and he Will have ten as
sistants with him, and number more
will be placed at intervals about the
course so that as near a perfect check
as possible will be kept, on the men, and
every one entering will be compelled
to ride the entire distance with no
chance to drop out for lap and come
in at the finish. This system has been
adopted by the race committee after
corresponding with many OF the larger
clubs in the East that engineer road
races.
The course will be the same as last
year and the riders will cover about
twenty miles The start will be made
promptly at $3.50 o'clock. The officials
