The Female Riders Tournament.

Manager Stackpole. who is looking after
the ladies' bicycle races to be held in Tom
linson Hall, was able yesterday to close
contract for the hall during the entire week
Of March q. The races will, therefore, con-
time six days, instead of beginning on
Thursday and ending the following Wednes-
day, as was at first expected and an
nounced. This will insure all the best riders
in this class, for the races here will be the
last for the season indoors 1t will prac-
tically settle the twelve-hour indoor ladies'
championship. Under the conditions of the
twelve-heur championship. established by
precedent (for there are no rules except as
agreed upon among the riders themselves
the race must be run through six days, two
hours riding being INDUCED in each day or
evening. The fact that the hall has been
secured for six days makes this a cham
pionShip event, and has caused many OF the
fast ones to wire entries. The track cannot
accommodate more than six or eight with
out danger Of accident, and the speediest of
the applicants are being selected. =. 80

L. w. MEET RACE TRACK
STREET-CAR PEOPLE WILL BUILD
ONE OF BEST IN COUNTRY.
william jay Turner COnfers with Ex-
ecutive Committee-Sites to
BE Viewed To-day.

The executive committee OF the Indian
apolis Meet Club talked of a bicycle track
yesterday, and 1t was developed that the
club is to meet no difficulty in securing for
the big national meet the most modern and
finest track in the country. William Jay
Turner, chairman of the board of directors
of the Citizens Street-railroad Company,
gave the committee a call and afterward
had long consultation with the subcom-
mittee on track, of which A. c. Newly is
chairman. In the general meeting, Mr.
Newly reported that the people who were
willing to build track had already OBJ
tanned stock subscriptions amounting to
$20,OOO an amount almost large enough to
purchase the ground and build the track
and all equipments He said there would
be no difficulty in increasing the amount OF
stock to any size deemed necessary.
The Citizens Street-railroad Company
through Mr. Turner, said at the beginning
of the talk of securing the meet for this
city that it would be willing to build the
track. 1t was expected, however. that the
company would select the site it pleased
and it proposed to build it at Fairview
Park The committee never has declined to
accept this proposition, but has been wait
ing to see if the track could not be laid
closer to the city. Options on favorable To-
cations have been secured, and the COM
pany which Mr.. Newly is connected with is
willing to build the track 1t is equally
willing to let the street-railroad people build
it. The men interested in the proposed
track company are willing to go ahead and
carry out the work without the expectation
of making anything out OF the venture. But
the Citizens Company is in a position to
make handsome profit out of it. Mr.. Tur-
ner said yesterday that he would consider
the proposition to build the track on site
to be chosen by the track committee, and
the several pieces of ground on which the
ontiOnS are held.

The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Match.

Sam Murbarger is already in good condi-
ton for his match with Woodmansee at the
Grand Opera House, March 16 He will
train off a few pounds between now and
then, and is quite confident of vanquishing
the Cincinnati wrestler and thus winning
the welter weight championship of two
States. The match will be catch-as-catch-
can, and Murbarger'S friends feel sure he
will win. Woodmansee is a hard man to
throw, however, and is in training at Gin
cinnati for the match. Down there he is
regarded as a sure winner.
