The Fourth of July race meet, under
the auspices of the Bridgeton' Bicycle
Track Association, was held at the Park
Monday afternoon. The entries num-
bered over 125 The races were exciting,
but rather slow, no time being made at
all. The favorites did not take an event.
The har rdicaps were remark able exhibi-
ton of what the State Handicapped does
not know. The scratch men in nearly all
the cases never caught the field. "Plug-
ger' L. j. Gil]on in both handicays made
runaway, and beat the field by half a
lap. He had 100 yds. in the one mile
handicap, and $50 yds. in three mile
hapdicaps. Rain stopped the events for
few minutes, but after it subsidized the

mated that nearly 1000 people saw the
