Edward Armbruster and Charlie


| at work arranging the several details
of me parade Every tandem in the
| city and several from Moundsville Will
be seen out, a trio from Beliairc are
coming up on Ludwlgs triplet. The
Ohio side towns will do themselves
| proud.
A detail of mounted police, the nrst
that have paraded in this city, will head
| the procession, and one OF the local
| bands will follow Immediately after.
Ladies and escorts will have the right
OF line, and from present indications
there will be quite number OF ladies'
In line. Tandems and other big ma
chimes will be next, followed by riders
on single machines.
Several original decorative schemes
will be worked out, especially on tan
dems. "The Mother Hubbard" idea will
be used extensively.
Everything points to a larger turn
out than ever before seen here. The
prize money proved an excellent in
ducement to participants
Chief Marshal Mahlke wishes to i'm
press upon all riders that the parade
forms at the corner of Seventeenth and
Chapline streets at $50 O'Clock Wednes-
day evening, and that all riders are
earnestly invited to take part-the
more the merrier!
Close and interesting races have been
the rule among the followers OF motor
pace Of late Promoters now match
men of almost equal ability together,
with the result that a grand race is the
result.
Archie McEarchern missed train on
the evening of May 30 after his race at
Charles River Park. He therefore could
not race at New Bedford on that even
ing and the motor paced race fell fiat.
Last year when McEarchern found
competitor lacking for a motor race at
Baltimore he insisted upon receiving
$50 for being on hand himself, and the
Board assesses the recalcitrant compel
itor the sum of $50. McEarchern al
ways smiled broadly at the incident,
but now he smiles the other way for
there is $50 to pay to the promoter he
disappointed.
Arthur Ross has won one and lost six
races. Ross has lost two races by a
matter of a few feet. The Harrison
midget is evidently afraid to punish
himself He will not go out to his limit
and in holding back he gives the other
man an advantage
Mcfarland has started training, his
one eye swathed in bandages and a
woebegone expression on his face. On
July A., Mcfarland and Kramer will
probably meet in that much discussed
race at Vailsburg.
1t is settled that Jimmy Michael
Henry Elkes and Bobbie Walthour will
meet in a paced match at Manhattan
Beach on July 18th. This is one Of the
strongest trios brought together this
season.
The amateurs competing at Madison
Square Garden this summer will have
special prize which Is to be awarded
to them at the close OF the year. The
winner OF the greatest number of points
in open competition will receive a
handsome prize, while the second man
In this race for grand prize will also
be suitably rewarded.
Prospects for a Ave cornered motor
paced race between Elkes, Nelson,
Walthour, Mcfarland and Michael be-
fore the season closes could scarcely
be better. Such a contest could not
be we'll arranged before the close of the
circuit season in September, but when
ever it occurs, it is pretty sure to be
race we'll worth travelling miles to
see. Each Of the men mentioned have
been approached on this matter, and
it is reported that each Is not only will
ing but anxious to get in.
Jimmy Michael of the Columbia team
is not discouraged by his recent defeat
at the hands of Walthour, and believes
that just as soon as he gets in a little
better trim the cycle world will again
ring with the name of Michael. The
"Welsh Rarebit" is now in the hands
of Mother" Webb the man who made
champion of Tom Cooper. While on
July Goth, the dimunitive bundle of
muscle from Wales will essay to de-
feat Moran and Ross in twenty mile
contest behind the putting motors. On
July 18th he has a match at Springfield
while in the evening of July 18th the
Welshman will ride against Harry Elkes
and Bobby Walthour at Manhattan
Beach.
Probably no track in the country Is
better arranged than the Coliseum at
