 The races will be under the manage ment of Stanley Kellogg. of Bridge port, and w. H. I. Walker, the of ficiaI referee for this section, will preside. The cream of the racing talent will be in competition, and the fact that rivalry is keen is evident. as the pick of the star riders are com- ing from all sections of the country The entries already in include prac- tically every record breaker in the United States, and when adozen of these men meet at the Danbury Fair Monday there is certain to be the fastest motorcycle racing ever wit messed in New England.
 Last year at the Fair the Harley Davidson riders cleaned up, defeat ing the Indian team in nearly every race. That the Harley-Davidson peo-
 pie intend to repeat the performance
 this year is evident, as they will send
 on three of the fastest men that veer
 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 re-
 peat this year with their Harley-Da- vidsons is evident as the whole bunch" of Indian racers will be on hand, as follows: Shorty" Matthews of Chicago; Ray Creviston, of Indian apolis; Teddy" 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- pared for the event Manager Kellogg predicts that all half-mi1e track mo- torcycle records will be broken. These
 men are capable of doing a mile on
 the Danbury Fair Grounds track in close to one minute and all of the | mac chimes entered are able to go eighty l miles an hour on the straightaway. Of course this list is of profession.
