PARADE ON JULY 5.
Will Be Preliminary to Bicycle Races
at Fair Grounds.

At 10 o'clock ON the morning of
July 5th Kansas avenue will present a
Kaleidoscope appearance. There
will be revolving wheels bedeeked in
all colors of the rainbow. 1t is the
occasion of the big parade under the
direction of the Topeka bicycle and
motorcycle dealers. The idea of the
parade will be to work up enthusiasm
for the races which commence at 1:30
at the fair grounds. It will be in the
nature of a big Fourth of July cele-
bration, and the arrangements are so
well under way that the success of the
project seems assured. Every bicycle
rider in the city is urged to join the
parade and as a further inducement
the participants will be admitted free
into the fair grounds.
The parade is expected to be a nov
ell affair, for floats and freaks will
form one of it's interesting features,
and for the most freaky effect a prize
will be awarded. Prizes will be given
also for the best appearing motorcycle
and rider. and the best appearing BIZ
cycle and rider Some of the mer-
chants have expressed a desire to take
advantage of the parade as means
of advertising their establishments

They will enter uniquely decorated
bicycles in the parade.
Large red, white and blue bills adj
vertising the parade and races have
been distributed throughout the bust
ness section of the city, and during
the next few days people OF every
town and village within a radius of a
hundred miles of Topeka will be IA
mfliar with these gayIy coIored pos
ters. Will Jaeneeke will go north as
far as Holton on a bill distributing
campaign using motor car as
means of conveyance. w. E. Harding
will take a southerly course, taking in
ers will go cut ON motorcycles. j. D.
Scott expects to go as far east as De
Soto, the weather permitting.
The parade will form at Tenth and
Kansas avenue. and the line of march
will be north ON the avenue to the
to Eleventh street. west to Topeka
avenue, and south to the fair grounds.
The bills say that at the races rec
ords will be cracked and probably
broken and that there will be no
doubt but that the spectators will ad-
nit they are going some" The fact
that a number of entries have been
| made by Kansas City. Lawrence and
other scorchers will likely verify the
announcement. There will be all
kinds and conditions of races, vary
| ing from half mile in length to %
miles. The motorcycle events will be
9, 5, 10 and rs miles in length Over
$3.50 in merchandise will be offered in
prizes which should be considerable
of an inducement to the rider enthu-
siasts of Topeka and the state at
| large. In the evening there will be a
| free band concert at Garfield park by
| the <. and L. of 8. band.
