We were induced to select Second South, but some of the riders who will compete in the contest, claim that it would be too risky and probably dangerous to riders. that some events of an international character will likely be run off every Saturday during June, July and August.

These men are the best that this city ever turned out. Church and McCurdy have splendid records as sprinters and short distance riders.

It would indeed be hard to get a better matched four up for a racing quad team. A machine is being built for the team and in a short time they will have one of the lightest and best wheels in the country. As a quad team they are open to race any team in the world or race against running or trotting horses in relays. As a tandem team Church and McCurdy are open to meet any American or foreign tandem racing team in the business. h. es m ,, a, i A the same locality may save time and carefare by doubling up on one wheel. Foreign Winnings. The earnings of the professional racing men in Europe during the season of 97 have been estimated at various figures. A member of the N. C. U., in order to ascertain the actual winnings of the noted riders during last year, communicated personally with the men, with the result that the following statistics have been completed: Bourillon and Morin, $12,000 each; Constant Huret, $9,600; Champion, Work Cut Out. In engaging the leading distance men for match races the promoters have stipulated that the riders under contract must not engage in any open or special races other than the match contests contracted for.
