DR.. L. A. Nelson. in the racing column,
writes as follows Of the situation in the
racing field:
I'VE can now discuss the local revolt
against the L. A. W. and what the op-
position accomplished. First, it jeopar-
died bicycle day at the state fair, which
is the meet of the year. Furthermore,
many riders have been suspended, among
them being some of the best racing tall
ent in the Twin Cities. Lexington park
has been outlawed, and the promoters of
the meet have lost money. The state
fair attendance was nearly 1900, as
against some 300 people at Lexington
park on their best day. The N. c. A.
meet was a failure.
