HOW THE RIDERS RIDE.
"NEws' BICYCLE CHART

The following form chart covers all

simplest possible method has been
adopted. 1t Is believed the plan of
giving points as obtained from the
positions made by the riders will be
more satisfactory than keeping ac-
count of the riders winnings. Win
nings cannot be relied upon by seek
ers after a line on the riders, as purses
are OF all sizes, and what one rider

lar purses. In this chart, the method
