declaring that it will be "one OF the greatest
spectacular sights ever presented to the cycling
public" The races will be held during the
afternoon. and in the evening there will be n
parade. to include both local and visiting riders.
A novelty for Friday evening that has been
suggested is a "horsefoot' excursion. and
the committee says il will be carried out.
Probably there ia not one in a thousand wheel
men who knows anything OF the mysteries OF
lacking for horsefeet." and for them this
piece Of sport will be a rich treat. Broadly. the
- lacking" Is simply spearing these peculiar
crustaceans from a small boat by the aid OF a
lantern. but tho incidents thereto are apt to be
as interesting al those Of a circus.
