Last Friday night closed the bicycle
racing in this city for the season. 1t is
probably a safe assertion to state that
it has been the most successful racing
held in any part of the country during
the present year. The small saucer
track seems to afford the kind that
the public most desire to witness, and
to make a success out Of the game the
public taste must be consulted first of
all. The racing men do not stand near
the chance of showing their ability as
upon a three-lap track, but their pref
erences are a secondary consideration,
for without public patronage they could
not exist long as racing men, 1t is I'M
derStOOd that the management has
made a fair profit out of the game this
season. This news viii be received joy
fully by all lovers of the sport, as it
means an early opening of the track
next season. Monday morning will
witness an exodus of the racing men,
the larger part of them going to the Pa
ciflc coast, where the season lasts all
winter, but 1t is safe prediction that
the opening of the Salt Palace track
next spring will see the return of a
greater portion of them along with
many new faces.

The total attendance at ball games in
the eight big league cities this year is
estimated to be about 1855, o00. This is
a big figure, and one that inSureS large
profits for some of the clubs. and prob
ably loss to none. In 1889, with no
Sunday games, the eight big league cit
les drew about 1900, 900 people. The
cities have increased in population since
then In 1889, the population of Chi
cago, Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
Washington, Pittsburg, Cleveland and
Indianapolis was not over $500, 600, and
the total attendance was about 80 1-3
per cent of the inhabitants. The pres
ent population of Chicago, Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, ST. Louis, Cincin-
natl and Pittsburg is about S.00e. 900,
and the attendance, were the game as
popular today AS it was in 1889, would
have to be 1851, 600. SO much for the
decline of baseball popularity. The at
tendance has increased: it costs less
to run a club now than then, in the
days of huge salaries, but popular en-
thusiaSm has nowhere near kept pace
with the growth of population.
