Another Treat of Note Next Tuesday
 Night.
 Cycling enthusiasts will have another treat Of an unusual sort next Tuesday night when the amateur championships of America will be decided on the little eight lap track on Howard avenue. By special permission from the National Cycling association, Manager Voigt will run the one-half and two mile sprint championships, besides the fif- teen mile paced championship. There will be other open events which will att tract hosts of first class riders and probably the very best racing of the year will result
 Champion Marcus Hurley has arrived in town and is training diligently to preserve the laurels he captured last year. That he will have great opposi- tion there is no doubt and the careful manner in which Hurley has trained leaves very little room to doubt that the red-headed wonder is determined to put up the best fight he knows how.
 The races will be decided in the same manner as the professionals, several sprint championships, but four men qualifying for the final heat. The title of champion of America goes with the winner of each race and the fight for glory will be keener in these events S than has any race held this year for the almighty dollar or jewelry.
 Tickets for the meeting are already on sale at s. Goodman & Co.'S, S20 Chapel street and Beck's drug store, 339 How ard avenue.
