The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-05-28

All is in readiness for the big roal
race Tuesday morning, and if the
weather is fair ten loaded coaches
drawn by two engines, will pull out OF
the Salt Lake & Ogden depot on South
Temple and Third West at 9:45 a. m
for the start at Fifth North and Third
West streets.
The men will be there all ready for
the lineup, and Clerk of-Course Tod
Caine viii have the men lined up In
punches, according to limits, ready for
the start. The scratch men will pull
ont and gradually pass all the riders
along the road until the limit men are
reached. The engineer in charge OF
the head engine will be instructed to
keep the train along the most interest
ing points of observation, arriving in
Pennington at the finishing tape in
time TO see the first man over the line.
AS soon as the men have all finished,
the train viii return to the city imme-
diately, so that all will have an oppor-
tunity of getting lunch and going 10
the track races at Calder's in the after
noon.
Bywater is picked as a winner of the
time prize in the road race, with Cut
ting second. Bywater is in good condi-
ton, while Cutting has trained indif-
ferently. Bywater also has the adj
vantage in weight There are some
probably go on the one-minute mark,
and if they pace Systematically there
is a good chance that the scratch men
may not gain any time on them. If
Lucas goes on scratch with Cutting and
Bywater, they will undoubtedly stay
together and alternate pace until some
of the dangerous possibilities in the
way of time winners are oVerhauled.
1t is difficult to pick a winner in any
road race. especially the coming one
Tuesday morning. There are more I'M
knJWnS entered than IN any previous
race, and among them VIII doubtless
be many surprises. There is always
more or less talking done by the con-
testants after the haudicaps are an
rounced, and some &C the confident
ones may get setback by the handi-
cappers after the handicaps are made,
il it is learned that they have been
given too liberal limits.
The limit is, of course, only a matter
of conjecture as the committee have
been sworn to secrecy, and the handi-
caps will not be given out until toner
row morning. The handicdpperS IN
ished their work at a. late hour last
night and there were rumors out as
10 different marks which men had re-
1ciVed, but it is all a matter of conjac-
:Ere, and handicaps made last night
may be changed.

The big bicycle trust or combination
of bicycle makers has been the all-ab-
sorbing trade topic in the east the
past week. AS stated in last Sunday s
Herald, the principal difficulties in the
way of a successful exploitation of the
bicycle trust have been overcome, and
the rest will be a matter of mere de-
tail.
The Wheel. one OF the cycling author
tiles of the east, outlined the policy of
the organizers of the new combine as
II had figured il out. The Wheel be-
lf-yes that the members Of the COM
bire viii consist OF three classeS-the
first being composed % big fellows"
such IS Coleman OF the Western Wheel
N'0rils, Lozicr of the Cleveland, Cor
'3uliy % the Rambler and Pope Of the
Col,.iEba. These firms, says the Wheel,
have high-claSs factories high-ciass
regulations, and are able to show big
Profits. These firms will get their
prices.
The second group of concerns are
these that can show from small 10 fair
profits, and they will be offered fair
prices. something less than what they
are, of course, asking.
Then comes the third class; factories
whose liabilities and assets are about
equal. These latter win probably be
glad TO be relieved of their cares and
troubles -cr almost anything they can
get, as their path will not be a smooth
one when the trust is launched, as they
have been unable to show anv kind of
profit under OH conditions, and with
powerful rrust in the field their
troubles will be multiplied.
The MAGNITUDE OF the deal about 10
he contaminated may be CLEANED from
tie fact th2t il IS the third largest in
corporation ever formed under the New
its big interpretations. The proposed
bicycle trust is surpassed only by the
Sugar and Federal Steel trusts.
The incorpoT zion fee was $1,000, and
the war revenue will amount to be-
tween S125, eco and 100000
Just when the trust viii be launched
Is now only q matter of conjecture. The
progress win be comparatively slow
from now on, as there win be more or
less haggling over prices on the part of
Tor this opportunity of unloading their
plants at a big figure.

the road race in the morning of Deco
ration day, and will assist Tod Game in
lining the men up and getting them
started off.
There was only one addition to
Papa" Smiths string of competitors
for next Tuesdays track races. Samuel
son, the Provo representative, entered
for the novice and one-mile amateur
race, and has also entered Gunn's road
race in the morning. The preparations
for the track races are now complete,
and everything is in readiness for the
starters gun.

car julius did not come in yesterday
but are en- route awheel. They are
training for long distance work, and
