i i Bicycle racing men gathered in the lobby of the Deriison Hotel and. dis cussed the prospects for the week. They all expressed She belief that this will be the greatest race meet ever held at the national gaUwring of the wheel mem. Bald said: "There has never been a time since I have been racing when so many of the crack tnen were in first class form. All of the boys ex riding sirong, and I look for some great sport.

There ale half a dozen men hi the front rank, and the men who take the three big cham pionships will know that they havs been in' a race." Bald's comments met 'with general approval. Tom Cooper says that the Ncwby oval ts the best track that the national meet races hiye ever been held on. While be prefers af th reevlap track for competition races he says, that tne Danaing on tne ovat is so soieau.icai ly arranged 4hat the rid errs can pajsa over It without an effort, and hardly know when they run Into the stretch. Earl Kiser. the Dayton rider, arrived yesterday.

He has been Blck and out of training for a week, but will eatsr all of the big races and take his chances with the others. Charles Root, of Chicago, the etarter, arrived last evening and visited the rac ing men. He says the outlook for the week's sport Is excellent. Root Is a general favorite among the racing men. and they all greeted hltn warmly last night.

It is always" policy to Vstand in" with the starter, and Root was In clover last night He say that Chicago will send down a large delegation (to morrow and on Wednesday. j.The number of Chicago visitors will run well Into the hun dreds. Trials at the OtsI. Hundreds of people visited the Newby oval yesterday and watched the racing cracks of the country work Out. There i.m.

morning and afternoon, And although the trials do not stand as records, they leave no doubt as; to the speed of the and encouraged every one who saw the work yesterday to believe that the New by oval would hold several world's rec ords before the work of the week was over. Every rider who Is now here, with the exception of Major Taylor, tried the track yesterday. Johnny Johnson carried off the' and his work was the talk of the day. Paced by a tandem, he went an eighth mile In 114 5, breaking all previous records, for the distance. Bald and Cooper each went twelfths and eia hths of a mile, but for tne most pan contented themselves with steady riding, reeling off many miles in tne two worx Insr hours.

Freeman. McFarlano. OldOeld, venier ana ail or me wner iai men took a turn at me ixac. was much enthusiasm during the afternoon, and several exciting brushes ber tween some of the cracks enlivened, the sport. With tandems, tnpieta, quaas snq single wheels intermingling.

ridden, by men in gay racing suits, the scene was an animated one. and tended to increase the local interest In cycle racing. i There was much speculation among the riders as to the make up of the team for the big multlplet race Wednesday. So far. three tandem teams have entered.

and this seems to oe tne wwriw ma chine for speed. Johnny Johnson, Alunro and Fornwalt will make up one team. Gardiner. Bowler and Major Taylor an Airoe Walsh and Mayo maXe a and Stevens. McFarland and Freeman a fourth team.

At the Oval To Iay. A lara crowd of the circuit chasers gathered at the Newby oval this morn lng, Dut owmg to the havy rains they were, unable to work out untu aoout and then only a few of the fast ones and three or four amateurs ventiired on the wet track. The men did not 4ltp. howevel and they stated that this was the best track they had ever rid den on. as it dried out very Quickly.

The! heavy rains made the loose sand and earth leading from the cars to the eraad stand muddy, but this will be remedied, at once, so as to bo ready for anv4mdre rains. Tpe Inew cycle path leading from the Fall creek bridge to the race track has been completed, but as soon as it dries out sufflc ently It wui oe ronea again.

This will finish a through course for the wheelmen to tne race track.

Most of the racing men who were at the track this morning gathered together in a bunch in the training quar ters under the grand stand and passed the time away rolling dice. The game was superintended by "Llttle'Pete. who was continually asking some of the men to "stake" "him so that he could win ci garette money. After dinner a crowd of the racing men went to the track ready to work out this altenoon speedy riding, BALD AJtO COOPER HATCHED. Great Race at "Last Arranged Be tvre en These Two Flyers.

After many unsuccessful attempts in othjsr cities for the past two years to arrknge a match, trace between Eddie BallC the present; tchampion, and Torn Cooler, his greatest rival, these two famous riders have finally been, matched in Indianapolis for a race to take place at the Newby oval next Friday evening. The credit of arranging this match Is due to Ileibert W. Foltz, chairman of the race committee of tne national meet An offer of a $300 purse was made, pro viding the men made a side bet of $250. The men were finally induced to' put up the side bet and the articles were signed. The conditions of the match1 tall for a mile best two heats In three.

The first heLt is to "be' un paced, the second to be paced bya single rider, who will drop out on the laat lap. and the third beat, if one Is necessary, will be decided by the toss of a coin. At Buffalo, the other night, it is said that Bald and. Cooper almost came to bkrws, owing to the fact that. Cooper shouted, that he was willing to bet $500 on himself, but when Bald showed up wlth rhe money the match fell through.

Gear and Tires. There is always much speculation amongthe spectators at the races in regard to the make of wheel and the gear vlvlcn is favored by the lacing men. So far as the wheels are concerned, nearly all of the crack professionals aro In the employ of manufacturers, and their preference fon. a certain make of bicycle Is often confined to the amount of salary which they receive. No bo.

however, when it comes to the welg it of the wheel or gear. Each racing man sufts himself in this regard. The weights "are about the same, and range from twenty to twenty three pounds. Tom Copper favors the latter weight, while Bald, who is much heavier, spins along on a twenty pound machine. There is a great variation in gears, and many of the riders change their gears for different distances, The extreme high gears are not as popular as they were a year ago.

Arthur Gardiner pushes a wheel geared to 102. This Is the highest In the bunch of fast riders, although, Nat Butler uses awheel geared to '200 in his handicap racing. The men prefer the high gears for. short distances and the low gears when the ractj ia for over a distance of two miles. average gear Is eighty eight.

In the following Ust all the racers use Palmer tires, except: Nat Butler, who uses Newton Urea. Inducements are off erect to rider in thevuse of tires, as well as in tha make of their wheel. Rider and Wheel. Weight Gear Major Taylor. Orient ...20 88 100 Rat Butler.
