to that effect was made yesterday at

ing for night racing was set down

land was inclined TO stick to his pro-
cram. but when l explained to him

MacFarland for giving them the
Clark Rutt match On Wednesday,
May 70. II the weather is favorable,
I would not be surprised 10 see ln.Ooo
persons present on that occasion. Yet
MacFarland was inclined 10 have

AscFarland is going 10 give the
public some great racing throughout
the season. and he is going to put
up some big purses in order 10 bring
about such results. He has figured
it all out to stage a race in which the
winner is to receive $1,000, and which
in all $500 will be given in prize
money. Mae likes to talk about
these big money races, and the riders
are sure to be highly elated when
they read the announcement that the
Newark Thousand" this year will be
worth 81 900 to the first man over the
tape in the final heat Other big
races are contemplated by MacFar-
land, announcement of which will be
made in the Evening Star. Just sup
pose-suppose for a moment-that
Kramer Rutt and Clark should line
M in the final of the Newark Thou
sand"-well perhaps by that time
the Velodrome will have enough seats
to accommodate those who would give
almost anything to see such con-
test.
Tom Cavanagll, who is one Of the
live wires" connected with the big
celebration to be given Marty Kaya-
nagh, "The Pride of Harrison" at
the Polo Grounds tomorrow, called
me up to the phone this morning 10
say that the Evening Star was doing
excellent work to make the affair Il
success. 1t was Tom Cavanagh, who
is an old chum of Marty Kavanagh,
who brought the celebration about,
and he has worked hard and accom-
plished much. The celebration will
be a great success, and more than
900 persons from Harrison will board
the 1:20 train tomorrow for the Polo
Grounds. The fans will gather at
Elberon Hall at l o'clock and march
from that place to the hig'h-speed
line. Jim Dorsch, who used to manage
the Forest Hill team and the Worth
jneton team, on which kaVanagh
used to play, will be in the celebra-
ton party. Marty will arrive along
with Hugh Jennings and the Detroit
team tonight, and he will have a few
hours to visit his friends tomorrow
morning. Marty will be given a
great welcome just before the game
tomorrow, and he viii be presented
with a watch and chain and charm
Hurrah for Harrison.
