The fire chief bases his assertion on the

From the standpoint of a fire hazard,
Chief Garfield regards the new Lorin

TEAM RACE.
FEATURE AT SAUCER

Arrangements are going ahead rapidly
at the Majestic saucer In prepare ton for
Sunday nights race card The feature Of
the programme will unquestionably be
the tenmile team race between Pye and
Finley and Wilcox and Duer. Manager
Harry Heagren has called the event the
Australian-American team race. Finley
is the present Australian champion and
Pye is also from the Kangaroo country.
The ace should be one Of the biggest
thrillers ever staged at the local saucer
The distance OF ten miles VIII be a con-
tinuous race with probably Duer and
Pye starting the race, Whittier will pace
the American team and Samuelson the
Australians. Whittier and Samuelson
will open up and circle the track while
Pye and Duer are getting ready to start.
The two riders will have TO pick up their
pace makers on the fly and when the
riders change at the end of five miles
Wilcox and Finley will have to catch
their pace makers the jump. The
picking up Of Whittier and Samuelson at
the beginning OF the race and changing
of riders at the end Of five miles ought
to furnish plenty OF interest.
There Will be a two-mile open lap pro-
fesslonal and a one-third- mile handicap
professional, with all OF Heagren's men
entered for the two events.
The amateurs are training hard for
their miss-and-out event and the mile
handicap that have been arranged for
them.
