Tho members Of the Riverside wheelmen
are dissatisfied over the award Of the State
meet to the Harlem Wheelmen, and will likely
appeal to the Executive Committee OF the divis-
ion for an explanation. Tho Riversides claim
that they submitted an application carly in
February and before the HRrloms. They In
tended to run the meet independent OF any
promoters. Several weeks ago The Sun called
attention to the fact that tho Riversides and
Harlems had petitioned tho division for the
award OF the meet, and that Il was rumored
that one Of these organizations was backed by
some race promoters. 1t was openly asserted
yesterday that the Harlems had received the
award due to their relations with somo pro-
motors who are favored by a division officer.
Major Taylor, the colored professional. ar
rived here yesterday and appeared rather dis
consulate over his treatment at the hands OF
the wheelmon of Savannah. It seemB that Tay-
Tor, accompanied by q trainer, went to that city
several days ago to act in condition for the
spring races. He took his racing wheels. and
anticipated putting in some hard work pro-
hminary to the carly meets. Tho wheelmen
there did not seem to favor Taylor, and they re.
fused to allow him to ride on the track. Then
they sent him q letter, suggesting his departure
from the city and intimated that four
hours was ample time for him to decamp. Tay-
Tor. rather than get into trouble, came back to
this city. throughout the circuit last year he
was subjected to all sorts of threats and indig-
mites at tho hands Of the white riders, due to
his color and success as q racer. II has not
made up his mind yet where no Will train this
spring. /
