All the riders from out-of-town are
here, and viii start. The four men on
scratch are among the fastest road rid
ers in the state, and if the course record
is not lowered it will be because of
adverse winds or bad condition of the
course.
The road was not in good condition
last night, but there will be nothing
that VIII prevent the riders from start
ing except a downpour of rain If it is
not raining hard at the time set for the
start the riders viii be sent away, even
if the course should be a sea of mud.
The race will be run, rain or shine, and
if it should storm some sensational ex-
periences will fall to the lot of the rid
erS-
The Provo riders have been rather
closely handicapped, but they showed
fine form at Calder's park Sunday, and
should make hard run from the min
ute mark. They will find a good team
mate in John Ensign, and the scratch
men Will have hard chase to overhaul
them this side of Pennington.
Holbrook, on the tWo-minute mark,
is dangerous man, and, barring acct
dent, will finish up well in the front,
and il would not surprise MANY 10 see
him walk off with one of the time
prizes. John Rigby, the Centervflle
rider who starts from the three-minute
mark, is said to be one of the prize
winners

and repairing to the brewery, loaded I'D
on beer, it is said. He went home and
swallowed a dose of strychnine- He then
went TO the house of neighbor. Bert

vent antidotes being given. He is now
in much pain. His relatives are much
shocked by the occurrence.

says he has requested the officials to

of the fact that some records may be
lowered the following state records for
be of interest:
Amateur record for one half mile,
competition race, 1903 As, made by c.
s. Wells, Salt Lake, on July %, 1895.
Amateur one mile record, competition,
2:05 1-5. made by H. 4. McCrea on

the professionals unless they should
equal or better the time.

just completed the history of banking
in Utah for an extensive work soon to

One point of special interest in Mr..

eagles minted in the United States were
minted in Utah, which even in the pio-
neer days felt the need of an estab-

gold dust was adulterated with brass
