Interest Being Taken in Next Thurs

Considerable interest is being taken
locally in the bicycle races to come off
at Ogden next Thursday, mainly for
the reason that well known profession
ais of the local track are to take part.
The track at Ogden is not a saucer. but
was built for driving. and is of com
mon, ordinary dirt, which will make
things unusually interesting. There
are some riders among the profession
ais who have never vet ridden races on
anything but boards. and they are Gu
rlous TO know what time they can
make on horse track. There is every
reason to believe, too, that the fastest
time ever made on dirt tracks will be
mace right there at Ogden. the saucer
riders entered being, as is generally
known, among the fastest, if not the
fastest in the world. The motors will
