come. This Is the view held b. Floyd
A. kaoFarland, general manager OF
the Cycle Racing Association. Mac"
Is not delighted at this state of af-
fairs, for 1t WILL cost him a pretty
penny personally and It will mean a
big loss to cycling generally; but he
believes 1t will be beneficial, in a way,
tothe game IN this country. He says
| II win mean that all racing will be
confined TO the United States during
! the next five years. no matter how
short the present war Is The coun-
| tries over in Europe, MacFarland
says, will not recover from the shock
for years. and cycling will suffer
thereby. America. though, Mac" de-
clares, will be better than ever. for
he intends to bring all the best riders
in Europe over here just as soon as
conditions allow.
o
As manager, MacFarland has
been a huge success. He has more
than made good. He has given the
fans the best racing they have ever
seen and he has broken all records
Tor attendance at the velodrome. He
is liberal with the riders and he is
ever anxious to please the public. He
has put on some big races in the past,
but he has arranged a card of races
to be run shortly that viii beat any
thing ever held in this wide world.
mcfarland expects to break all rec
ords with his Worlds Cycle Derby
and International Championship Car
nival which will run over five days.
The first meet of the carnival will be
held Wednesday and the final mill
will take place on Monday, September
7. Professional and amateur cham
pionshlps galore will be decided and
the winners will practically be known
as worlds champions. for the regular
worlds championship meet is not to
be held this year.

With thrilling stories OF their adj
ventures abroad, Eddie Root, Reggie
Mcnamara, Fred Keefe and Charles
Plercey arrived in Newark yesterday
afternoon. All were glad to get back
to this city and they Will soon be in
harness again TO race. Mcnamara
will be in time to have try for the
various long distance championships
in the big carnival Root will prob
ably follow the motors. Piereey is
said to be a strong man In ions-dis-
lance races and keefe is also very
good over a distance Of ground.

Alfred Goallet has again reached
the top Of his form and he displayed
great speed in the races 81 the Nelo- /

Say what you viii. but Alfred Gren-

were so tired that GoGllet could offer +

Only nine men q al the starters
finished in the long race and for s

eventually turn out TO be winner.
He went into the grind With consid-

Jackie Clark was riding very strong

is riding in much improved form and
he win take 8 lot 81 beating from
now on. His victory over Grends and
Speers in the repechsge handicap
made The Rocket look very good.
He had speed and judgment and II
he had a good adviser he might have
won the long race. He Is trying hard
and he Is sure to cut s figure In the
