will have to be run before the winning
team will be known. The team making
the second best showing will be awarded
second place. while the team making the
third best showing win be given third
place In case two teams are tied for
second place, the team making the best
showing in the final or deciding heat viii
be given the position. As three prizes
are offered in the race, and as there is
big difference in value between the. first
and third, there is apt to be some hard
riding.
The five-mile exhibition ride, against
time, which will be made by Moran, will
serve to give an idea of the condition he
Is in, and the manner in which he is fol-
lowing pace. Incidentally he will show
the skill with which he can change pace.
He is getting in trim for his ride next
Wednesday night at the park with little
Michael and this will be the only oppor-
tunity afforded of seeing him ride prior to
that event. During the past week he has
been in training, and ne shows a wonder
ful Improvement, both in speed and in his
condition. The wisdom of his selection to
race against Michael is now apparent, as
he can clearly outclass any local rider
for middle distance work.
The fact that ladies will be admitted
free this evening upon presentation of
card Is regarded as another indication
that large crowd will pe present. Last
Monday night the introduction of ia
dies night" brought out a large crowd,
ana this evening double the number of
the fair sex is expected. Complimentary
cards can be obtained from the Eclipse
bicycle agency, corner of Fourteenth and
II Streets, or from the Washington Circle
Cycle Store. No. 2125 Pennsylvania Ave
