 All the riders are averaging be- tween so and S5 miles an hour in their trial spins. So far, Glenn Stokes on his Excelsior has been the only one to take a spill He was clipping the turns at high speed with his handle bars loose. He turned and Tipped down the course a long way. but was only slightly hurt.
 The track is very fast, but rough yet Honest. it seems that everybody yau ever heard of riding a motor cycle fast is here. Never saw such a bunch of stars.
