Soggy Track Is Result of Short but Enthusiastic Shower Yesterday Morn ing; Boido Calls Off Race for the Nonce
RIDERS RANKS
 MAY BE SW YELLED
Riders Will Spend Today Attending Festivities in Connection with Indian Day at the Local Wig Wam

Do not go out to the fair grounds this afternoon, hoping to view a mo torcyclc race meet. There will be none. In it's place, will be found mud. It was the short, sharp little shower yesterday morning that did the S1m age. An inspection of the track by Manager Boido and Morty Graves con Vinced the two that what Dick Hol- lingsWorth did to the track with his little sprinkling carts last fair week, WGs as nothing compared with the modification just accomplished by the weather.
 So, without much more barley, Man ager Boido postponed the race meet of the Loyal order of Moose until next Sunday Next Sunday. Remember.
 Perhaps the interference of the weather is providential, after all. It may be that in the split portion Of a week remaining. some other riders can got here to compete.
 It was a little remindful of a race meet that the fellows had framed up a year ago. Just about this time of the year, the fans had been all worked up in behalf of a hundred mile race, when the rain came. on the day of the race. it poured a little, but cleared up Rather than have anybody slOsh around and go to the fair grounds, the motorcycle boys got a hoWlor for an auction house and had him yell around the streets that the contest was post poned. Then. having nothing else to 60 but cuss the weather. all the rid cra and promoters went and spent Sf35 for ice cream at a well known local confeetion shop.
 Today Is Indian Day.
 The WigWam is specially peeved at the nostponement. Today is Indian lay all over the world, and the way things were sorted out it looked as though the Indian racers would douhly celebrate the event by winning a lot of honors. In fact. it was better than a five to three shot that the Indians "ould win everything on the program.
 However, a program of entertain mont will be given at the local Wig van on North Second street, conven- tent to The Republican office. During the day, most of the riders will meet there to listen to talks about the ma chine, and to view 1t, together with booklets describing it. The presence If Don Johns and Morty Graves, two distinguished Indian riders, will lend q measure of eclat to the occasion.
