ers. inc have met with one or two
who rave tried to go and cop" the
hundre dollars we offer to any one
who a e a either one of us on our
rollers. A couple have tried to slip ono
over with big gears. etc, but we were
there with the goods. Fogler will be
In Newark for the opening OF the new
rae ! will continue with the show
Till the first or second week in June,
then l will leave for salt Lake City:
that is, IL l don't hear from Million
and Chapman Company whether they
want me or not this season.
These towns seem to be crazy on
cycling. Everyone rides a wheel, and
we have plenty of riders to compete
with. I expect to engage Freddy Hill
