NJ. referee for the state of Arizona, received from the Phoenix competition committee the two hundred and fifty dollars, which Phoenix riders won in the road race to Prescott. owing to the fact that Big John stripped the inwards out of his gears this side of Prescott, and had to come back to fix 'em. he did not get that two hundred and fifty out of MT.
