 A FAIR FEATURE
Star Riders From Various Parts
 Of Country at Danbury Fair

The motorcycle races at the Dan- bury Fair will be run off the afternoon of opening day, Monday, October ?. 4 The races will be under the manage ment of Stanley Kellogg, of Bridge port, and w. H. I. Walker, the official referee for this section, will preside. The cream of the racing talent will be in competition, and the fact that riv- airy is keen is evident, as the pick of the star riders are coming from all sections of the country. The entries already in include practically every record breaker in the United States, and when a dozen of these men meet at the Danbury Fair Monday there is certain to be the fastest motorcycle racing ever witnessed in New England!
 Last year at the Fair the Harley Davison riders cleaned up, defeating the Indian team in nearly every race. That the Harley Davison people in- tend to repeat the performance this year is evident, as they will send on three of the fastest men that eveT rode motorcycles, Ray Weishar of Milwaukee, Wis; Maldron Jones, "the clean up kid" of Toledo, Ohio, and James Pilazzo, of Bridgeport, cham pion of Connecticut.
 That Oscar Hedstrum, manager of the Indian racing team does not in- tend to let the Milwaukee firm repeat this year with their Harley -Davisons is evident, as the whole bunch" of Indian racers will be on hand, as fol- lows: Shorty Matthews, of Chica- go; Ray Creviston, of Indianapoliss Freddy" Carroll, of Springfield, Mass; Wald Korn, of Madison, Wis; Harry Nixon, of Springfield, Mass; Sid Brown, of Trenton, N. J.; Frank Ad- dock, of Philadelphia, Pa., and W. H. Burdick. of Norwich. This is' for midable list, and as post entries are possible there is a strong possibility that even this large number may be added to.
 All the machines will be the latest "four-valve" special racing models, and as the track will be specially pre- nared for the event Manager Kellogg predicts that all half-mile track mo- torcvcle records will be broken. These men are capable of doing mile on close to one minute, and all of the ma chimes entered are able to go eighty miles an hour on the straightaway. Of course this list is of professionals and does not include the dozen or so amateurs who will compete in their classes. -F.. Motorcycle races are the mosI thrilling of all contests of skill and speed, and faster and more daring men never met in competition than will be seen at the Danbury Fair next Monday afternoon.
