CYCLE RACE MEET AT
THE GARDEN TONIGHT.

NEW YORK, June 22.-The summer cycle
racing season in New York will open to-
night at Madison Square Garden with
a program of professional and amateur
events. The great success which has at
tended the races held at the Newark Velo-
drome this season makes the outlook for
the Garden exceptionally bright. In fact,
cycle riding, as well as racing, has taken on
a big boom this summer. The bicycle
manufacturer throughout the country all
report a tremendous increase in the num-
Der of orders. The racing at the Garden
will also demonstrate the merits of the
new track. which has been constructed
with the idea of getting more speed.
Should it prove a success the same style
track. will be built for this years six
day race in December, with the idea of
making a determined effort to lower the
record for the long grind.
The big feature of the racing tonight
will be a four-cornered tandem race at one
mile, in which Fogler and Moran, Bardgett
and Logan, John Bedell and Krebs. and
Vanoni and Anderson will take part, and
the star professionals will meet. The other
professional event will be a half-mile
handicap. There are three races on the
card for the amateur, a half-mile novice.
one-mile handicap, and a half-mile open.
The amateur entry Is heavy, almost a
hundred of them having enrolled.

MANSFIELD TO MAKE
DEBUT TONIGHT.

NEW YORK, June 22.-Harry Mans
field, an English middleweight, and
Larry Connolly, of Boston, will be the
principals in the star bout at the Bed
ford Athletic Club, a new organization,
which will throw open its doors at
Wyckoff avenue and Halsey street to-
night. Mansfield recently arrived from
London, and this will be his American
debut. 1t will also be Connolly's first
appearance in New York.
The bout will be limited to six
rounds. Mansfield comes here with the
reputation of a hard hitter, and the
husky Connolly may find the Briton a
hard nut to crack tonight. The club
house is an airy building, that will
seat comfortably close to four thou
sane people.
