WHEELS TO SPIN
Racing Will Begin Again
at Cyclomere Tonight.
A Big Field of Riders in Fine FettIe.
The Three COrnered Match.
PaCe-MusiC-Light.

This is the night OF the grand re
vival of bicycle racing on the Honolulu
scenic track. The program has been
published already and all who delight
to watch the wheel go around say that
it is one of the very best ever offered.
The big drawing event is the three
| cornered" match race between Damon
King and Giles, the leading amateurs
There has never yet been any betting
to amount to anything on cycle races,
but it may be said that the favorite in
this event is King. 1t will be a paced
race and the first man to get two heats
takes the prize. 1t is confidently ex-
pected that some very fast time will be
shown. The three riders have some
old scores to settle and the finishes will
be Of the whirlwind order.
In the professional event Allen Jones
is slated as the winner Whitman is
not quite ION edge" but he has sur
prised all before this. John Manoa is
in pretty good trim and Martin is rid
ing his trials in better time and form
than he has shown at the game during
his whole career.
The band will be ON hand tonight In
the absence of Captain Berger, who has
gone TO MOlokai on professional trip,
the Government musicians will be di-
rected by Mr.. Aylett Some new and
lively selections will be heard.
A thorough test of the light at Cyclic
mere was made last evening and was
entirely satisfactory. The prices at
this meet will be the same as usual |
The track conduct is now an enterprise
of hui of town boys and if they are |
given encouragement they will keep |
the sport alive and on good basis.
At the track last evening the man
agement announced the decision of |
changing slightly the program stipu- (
lation as to the professional events. By |
general request the first and second |
men in heats and the third in the fast
est heat will qualify for final. This
will make a field of five in each profess
sional final.
