OPPOSITION WITHDRAWN.
Believed the National Meet at Boston
VIII Be n Success.

Boston, July 29.-opposition to the ma
tional meet Of the League of American
Wheelmen at Boston has been withdrawn,
and the National Cycling Association will
endeavor TO aid the l.. A. w. in making
the meet a huge success. The proposed
four days meet to be run at Waltham on
the same days as the national meet races
at the Charles River Park has been given
up in favor OF a meet of one day. This one
day of racing at Waltham will be followed
by a huge river carnival in the evening.
The carnival will be one of the meet fea-
lures, a previous affair of the same char
acter having been the talk of all the sur
rounding country.
On Tuesday night next there will be
held at Waltham a blue-ribbon meeting
for the purpose of adding to the fund tfor
this entertainment. Four of the great mid
dle-distance riders will meet in a motor
paced match. Pierce. who lowered Walters
colors for twenty-four hours; Waller
Stevens. and II. E. Caldwell. the former
road champion, will be the competitors
On the same evening Arthur Zimmerman
will ride a motor-paced exhibition, his
services being contributed also. The fea-
ture of this evening of sport will undoubt-
edly be an hour pusuit race between the
American motor manned by L. p Callahan
| and H. E. Caldwell, and the French motor
belonging to Tom Linton. manned by Dud-
ley Marks and Cabiolott, the Frenchman.
In thus arranging to aid rather than to
oppose the l.. A. w. the National Cycling
Association believes that it will gain the
| commentator OF the wheelmen of the
country. The meet of Wednesday will be
| followed Thursday. Friday, and Saturday
by the l. 4. w. races at Charles River
On Wednesday four OF the great middle
| distance riders will meet in a motor paced
hour match. and all Of the stars will be
seen in the championships. the heats of
which will be run in the morning. with the
| finals in the afternoon, thus giving the best
and largest programme OF racing this sea-
son. The promoters of the national meet
have shown their appreciation of this ac-
tion by aiding as far as possible in making
Wednesday one Of the best days of the big
meet with Waltham as headquarters for
everything in the way of amusement.

there IS noticeable a gap during the week
of the international championships at
Montreal. In former circuit lists there
has been meet during this week, but the
chairman was prepared to switch this at
a moments notice. That he feels certain
now of Montreal is quite evident in the
present circuit arrangement which shows
the final lines to be followed. August now
shows fifteen days of circuit racing sue.
or one day in every two, and to this will be
added at least four or five more days.
This, of course, includes Montreal, al
though that has not been finally settled.
There are two points which are now IN
cluded on the l.. 4. W. national circuit,
but which will be included in the grand
circuit the entries having already been
secured of the prominent riders, both am
ateur and professional. The prospects for
the Western loop in September were never
brighter than at present. promoters nave
decided that a large entry list is out of the
question at 4 circuit meet unless more op-
portunity be given the second raters to
earn their way. Consequently class races
and handicap races are becoming more
numerous With but the championship
and handicap race there is possible at a
circuit meet ten entries and perhaps if-
teen With class race at each meet the
entry list for all events is doubled.
The present grand circuit list is as fol-
lows:
August s. Providence; August 16, waltham
Mass; August 10, New York City, Manhattan
Beach; August p, Syracuse; August q, Asbus
Park; August &c, Philadelphia; August 30 ana
81, Wilkesbarre, Fa. September 8, New Haven.
Conn; September y, Baltimore, Md, and Sep
tember II, Washington, d. c..
There is proposed as a climax 20 the
racing season great middle distance
race between the leading pace followers
OF theAniddle distance profession and the
greatest of the sprinters, the distance of
the contest to be such as to be within
the reach of all. Leading up to this great
contest it is proposed to run a six-cor-
nered fifteen mile race between the sprint
ers. the three winners to meet the three
leading middle distance stars in the final
contest. Among the sprinters there are
today a half dozen who have in the past
proveL their ability back of pace. Arthur
Gardiner, the Chicagoan, made an excel
lent showing against Harry Elkes. Floyd
A. Mcfarland defeated Elkes in world
record time in San Francisco last spring.
Tom Cooper once ruled as king of the
road at twenty-five miles. II. E. Cald-
well, of Manchester, N. H., started his
career on the road and Tuesday night en-
tered the paced race ranks. Eddie Bald is
reported to have ordered motor cycles. He
is anxious to have a try at the middle dis
tance game Orlando Stevens is the sixth
for the Iowan defeated Harry Gibson at
San Jose last spring and displayed rare
ability for an unframed man. He was sub
stituted for Mcfarland in the contest at the
last minute. Among these six riders 1t
would be very hard to select winner
and from the six there would undoubtedly
come a trio capable of going against Nc
Duffee Elkes. and Linton at the fifteen
mile distance.

Track Notes of the Past Week.

Newark. July 29.-The race for the cham
pionship of 1899 is hardly under way fairly,
yet the surprises are not hard to find. July
gave promise of numerous meets but IN
avoidable delays al a number Of points
forced the promoters to carry forward their
dates into August and September. These
two months with October to follow will
see more circuit meets than were ever
run in the same period OF time in Past
seasons. The three months will be the
busiest in the career of the racing men
and when real campaigning comes in some
of those unable to race day in and day out
who are today counted upon as champion
ship probabilities will fall by the wayside
while others not yet represented in the
tables will be great factors in the daily
competition.
Tom Cooper has loomed up in the PAST
few weeks as the possible champion of
the year Cooper is in rare form and is
possessed of a sprint which is long and
strong Given fair play and in a contest
with every man for himself, it seems lea
sonable to suppose that Cooper will win
his share of the honors at least and proba-
bly, much more. Orlando Stevens. whose
bold challenge to the world, backed by
$500. is creating stir, has failed to qualify
in two OF three championship races, and
yet, through no fault of his own particu-
larry. Strange as it may seem, team
work spoiled the chances of Stevens in the
first contest. while in the Philadelphia race
he tagged himself out pulling the field up
to Babcoek. who jumped for a lead of 100
yards. the overcoming of which ruined
Stevens chances altogether. Kiser is a
factor in the race. Walthour is seemingly
another who will be around the top, and
Johnnie Fisher, Of Chicago, has all the
show in the world to-lsnd in the first five
or six, although q new man in the Eastern
field. Bald and Gardiner will shortly enter
the race and Mcfarland viii round into
form again very shortly. having hardly
recovered as yet from his sickness al Buff

that it would be a mistake to admit the

A, it would be impossible to do anything
by wire or mail now. Nothing can be done
until the meeting, which does not occur
until after the championships at Montreal.
The rules of the /. c. A. forbid mail or
wire vote, anyway"
Mr.. Gerlach professed to doubt the action
which it was reported the French Union
had taken, but in the course of his inter-
view said that he had been keeping the
wires hot staving off such action for time.
Mr. Gerlach is not sleeping at all in the
matter and providing the n. C. A. does
gain recognition it will be earned, every
