Five mile heats in the motor paced
racing at the Colosseum last week did not
prove popular as the distance was too
short. The riders no sooner got under

the future 10 mile heats will be the style

will not only please the patrons but vii,
be productive OF better racing. Stirson

The latter gave De Guichard a hard race
