- * !htSeiitdtlNe HSt of crack riders has
already been entered for the meet the
blanks having been fled out and the entry
lee turned over. Ills is due to the fact
that Manager Lasley made a special trip to
Philadelphia during the week and secured
the whole bunch, all of the riders being
anxious to come to this city Prominent
among the number is "Plugger BIZ, Mar
tin the rider who became reiuyenated and
who went to Australia, swept the boards
over on the antipodes race tracks. and then
came back to this country and became
mixed right up among the crack riders
Major Taylor, the colOred wonder is an
other entrant. He stands second in the
championship score, and from the manner
IN which he Is now riding 1t looks very
much though he will be able to finish
at the top of che list. Taylor is a fayorite
up north, and he Is the rider who defeated
Jimmie Michael best two out of three mile
heats The negro is riding in extremely
good form 81 present. and none of the 9TH
er riders seem to be able to overtake him.
Among the other riders are Eddie c. Bald
who is at present in the lead in the matter
of scoring, though not by any means Sc
cure in his position, Tom Cooper his old
time rival, will also be here So will Arthur
Gardiner, II. B. Freeman, Owen Kimble
the kraemer brothers, w. B. Eckhardt. w
E. Becker. the fve-mile champion of 1895:
Orlando b. Stevens. Earl kiser DR.
Brown. Tom Butler, the former handican
king; w. Fred Sims his successor to the
title; Fred Titus, Charles Hadfield and sew
eral other good men AS the entries will
not close until October l, there Is plenty of
time for new men to enter and get ready
ride.
