racing card Saturday night at Madi-
son Square Garden. The high-class
meets held at the yelodrome with the
assistance of Mr.. Mcfarland, in
comparison with Saturday night $
card certainly showed up Mr.. Powers
and his associates. Having paid over
twice as much as the Velodrome
prices, the patrons expected to see at
least the same standard of races as
that maintained at the Velodrome.
Looking over the card you will find
that the only events outside of the
match races were one professional
open race, ridden by second-raters,
and an endless procession of tire
some amateur events. Mcfarland
believes in giving the public square
deal, thing which no one can truth
fully say of Powers. 1t is about time
Messrs. Million and Uppercu put
Powers where he belongs. His only
ability seems to be in keeping his
''pulr' with the promoters.

The card you refer to was even bet
ter than most cards on similar occa-
sions. The sprint match brought to-
gether four star riders, In the pursuit
race were famous men of the bike,
and In the motor-paced race were two
able followers of the iron steed. OF
course, the racing wasn't as good as
1t Is at the Velodrome, and that goes
in a general way for racing the world
over.
