A Good List Of En-
tries for Associated
Cycle Club Meet.
INTEREST IN SPECIAL EVENTS.
Good Racing is Assured
In the Big
a Fields. Z

Great interest is manifested in the
bicycle meet of the Associated Cycle
Clubs at Gardner tomorrow. The meet
will lie II the nature of an excursion,
and I viii be the last opportunity Of the
season fol the local bicycle enthusiasts
to sec good racing at the celebrated
Crystal Lake Park track at Gardner,
and one that will surely be embraced
by fully one thousand followers of the
sport in this city and county.
Special rates have been arranged With
the railroad, and the rate for the day,
which includes transportation. TO and
from the grounds and admission to the
park and the races, is but 81. The first
train leaves this city at $40 O'Clock in
the forenoon. A special train has been
arranged for to take those who are
DESTROYS TO stay in the city in the fore
noon to witness the Worcester-Spring-
field game, This train pulls out of the
Union station at 12.45, and will reach
Gardner III time for the opening races,
which are to be held till its arrival 1t
is expected that this train Will bring
fully 500 excursionists from this city
are the best that the Associated Cycle
Clubs ever held, and the entry list
which is published in full for the first
time, shows the largest list of entries
for any meet ever held in Gardner. The
list ircluues the fastest amateur riders
of this city, and, if the riding condi-
tions are favorable, records will be
broken all along the line.
The prize attraction is, of course, the
pap a hat "A
of the Worcester Cycle Club and Royal
A. Carni of the Century Cycle Club of
this city. They are riders of recognized
merit, and their friends will go TO Card
ner to back their choice in the race
with their last dollar. Both men are
in fine fettle, and are riding as they
never RODE before. They are easily the
fastest amateur riders of this city.
Both are training at Gardner. They will
ride the best two out OF three heats
TO settle the question of supremacy.
The first heat win be paced mile, and
the second an unpaced mile. The style
of racing i'll the third heat will be de-
eided by the toss of a coin.
The other star attraction is the team
pursuit race, ridden as it has never
been III this part of the country, with
the first man over the tape winning for
his respective team, which is to be made
up of three men. All the clubs are hot
for this race and have entered the best
men from their ranks. The winning of
the Newports at the July 4 races at
Westboro was largely a matter of luck,
both the Worcesters and the Centurys
being in avery bad fix on account of
one man. That does not mean that the
Newports did not win on their merits.
but the other teams We're badly handi-
capped.
Now the conditions will. be different.
If there happens to be a weak man on
the team 1t does not endanger the
chances Of that teams winning, for one
man can get out and by cutting out a
good hard race can win out for his
team. On the other hand, the teams can
work together so that one man can have
a sleigh ride up to the finish, all the
men of the team cutting out the pace
and doing the donkey work, letting one
mans reserFet his strength for a grand
final effort that will land his club a
winner.

Carni and George Hepworth, with L.
