10 TBE AX12 iKE BCERAUD SUNDAY MAY St 1899 Y3 2 i 4J I SJ ff yr lICj T71z I 1k fIr i lqfr All Is in readiness for the big road race Tuesday morning and If the weather is fair ten loaded coaches diawn by two engines will pull out of the Salt Lake Ogden depot on South Temple and Third West at 945 a for the start at Fifth North and Third Wst streets The men will be there all ready for the lineup and ClerkofCourse Tod Caine will have the men lined up in bunches according to limits ready for the start The scratch men will pull out and gradually pass all the riders along the road until the limit men are reached The engineer in charge of the head engine will be instructed to keep the train along the most interesting points of observation arriving In Farmington at the finishing tape in time to see the first man over the line As soon as the men have all finished the train will return to the city immediately so that all will have an opportunity of getting lunch and going to the track races at Caiders in the afternoon Bywater Is picked as a winner of the time prize in the road race with Cutting second Bywater is in good condition while Cutting has trained indifferently Bywater also has the advantage In weight There are some speedy ones among the men who will probably go on the oneminute mark and if they pace systematically there is a good chance that the scratch men may not gain any time on them I Lucas goes on scratch with Cutting and Bywater they will undoubtedly stay together and alternate pace until some of the dangerous possibilities in the way of time winners are overhauled I is difficult to pick a winner in any road race especially the coming one Tuesday morning There are more unknowns entered than in any previous race and among them will doubtless be many surprises There Is always more or less talking done by the contestants after the handicaps are announced and some cE the confident ones may get a setback by the handicappers after the handicaps are made i it Is learned that they have been given too liberal limits The limit is of course only matter of conjecture as the committee have been sworn to secrecy and the handicaps will not be given out until tomorrow morning gven handicappers in ishefl their work at a late hour last Iisht and there were rumors out ash different marks which men had re rlved but is all a matter of conjac tire and handicaps made last

east the past week As stated in last Sundays Herald the principal difficulties In the I way of a successful exploitation of the 1 bicycle trust have been overcome and the rest will be a matter of mere detail tailThe The Wheel one or the cycling authorities of the east outlined the policy of the organizers of the new combine as it had figured It out The Wheel be IRJVCC that the members of the combine will consist or three classes the lirsi being composed of big fellows uh Coionmn of the Western Wheel Vo cs Lozier of the Cleveland Gor itiliy of the Rambler and Pope of the ioliifli These firms says the Wheel I 1 nr highclass factories highclass reputations and are able to show big jtuftc These firms will get their ijHes The second group of concerns are tiioscthat can show from small to fair profits and they will be offered fair prices something less than what they Iwe of course asking Then comes the third class factories whose liabilities and assets are about equal These latter will probably be lad to be relieved of their cares and troublcj icr almost anything they can Get as their path will not be a smoo hone when the trust is launched as they have been unable to show any kind of profit ui Jer oA conditions and with a powerful trust in the field their troubles wilt be multiplied The inafnituue of the deal about to 1 consummated may be gleaned from tlc fait that it Is the third largest 1n vporatlon ever formed under the New Jersey laws and that state is noted for its big i incorporations The proposed bIcycle trust Is surpassed only by the I Sugar rrd Federal Steel trusts The incorporation lee was 15000 and ilic war revenue will amount to between 123000 and 5200000 Just when the trust will be launched Is now only a matter of conjecture The progress will be comparatively slow from now on there will be more or leas haggling over prices on the part of the little fellows who will be anxious for this opportunity of unloading their plants at a big figure John Lawson the Terrible Swede will be assistant clerk of the course at the road race In the morning of Decoration day and will assist Tod Caine in lining the men up and getting them started off There only one addition to Papa Smiths string of competitors for next Tuesdays track races Samuel eon the Provo representative entered for the novice and onemile amateur race and has also entered Gunns road race in the morning The preparations for the track races are now complete andeverything fs in readiness for the starters gun leer Lawson Clem Turrille and Oscar Julius did not come in yesterday but are en route awheel They are training for long distance work and arc riding thA rni s0 hrp ami 0 San Francisco They will take the train across the desert and will arrive here some time today Lawson exciting thev admiration of all the local riders by his marvelous condition and beautiful work on the track Trainer Cushman i looking after his physical condition while her and says he has never handled a man whose muscles were in such perfect condition for fast sprinting and that fact is all the more surprising when it is taken into consideration that he has been doing a great deal of long distance work which usually hardens the muscles and renders them unfit for fast sprints The Swede has been training hard since his arrival here and his energy and diligence in that direction is a revelation to the local push He reels off mile after mile on the track at a killing pace and never seems to tire trc I Lawson Is much pleased with Salt Lake and the outlook for racing here and says he intends to remain here for I a month at least and will bring additional riders here to enter the races which he is proposing to give He and Papa Smith have several interesting and novel events on tapis for the near future and every style of modern racing will be given Lawson says the track is In splendid condition for fast work and proposes to bring some worlds records to Salt Lake One of his ambitions is to be the first American rider to make 500 miles in twenty four hours and he says he can do it on the Caiders track with a little assistance from the local riders In the way of pacemaking He proposes to start at about oclock some Saturday night and ride until the same hour Sunday night During the progress of this ride on Sunday afternoon there will be shortdistance competition events between local riders Another record which Lawson promises i to lower as some coming event is the onemile state record The best time ever made for that distance in Utah is 200 25 Lawson says he can ride a mile under two minutes and that kind of a record trial would be an epoch in Salt Lake cycle racing If successful Several hour paced pursuit races are scheduled and taken altogether the cycle racelovins public have a feast In store The riders will all be out on the track at 3 oclock this afternoon working out and a bjg delegation of wheelmen will be on hand to see them practiceS Sharma who ha been picked as one of the winners among the local professionals will probably not be able Ito Ito ride Tuesday He was taken with a severe attack of quinsy about four days ago and has been growing steadily worse He was forced to give up training Thursday and had his throat lanced Friday but has obtained little relief and was unable to take solid food last night He is being carefully nursed and a soon as he can get in shape will challenge the winner of the races here Tuesday to a match race The rain of yesterday laid the dust and placed the road to Farmington in excellent condition Riders who were out last night say the course is perfect The rain has also assisted in hardening the surface at the Caiders track and the final touches which will be put on desired it tomorrow wi leave nothing to be I Owing to the rain of yesterday tho run of the Social Wheel club which was I called to Greens has been called off by Captain Smith The run was in the nature of a basket picnic and the grove is not in condition for such ana I The captain of the Opal Wheel club I is planning a trip to American Fork canyon at an early date This canyon I is said to be one of the prettiest in the state for scenery and the wheeling It Is new ride for the wheel I Is good I a rde whel men of Salt Lake City and many would doubtless be glad of an opportunity of attending a conducted run to that canyon The ride from Bingham to Salt Lake would bean enjoyable one Cyclists can go on the train at 8 oclock a and the distance back Is only about twentyeight miles onehalf of which is down hill Good seasoned riders who desire to take an Interesting ride will find the ride from Eureka to the city one full of enjoyment The road through Ho hansville canyon Is well traveled aid down hill most of the way and follows along the railroad In view of the famous loop This Is one of the finest bits of railroad engineering in the state and well worth the trip The distance to Salt Lake by wheel is about ninetyfive miles the route lying through the towns of Goshen Payson American Fork and Lehi By finishing out the ride with a fivemile spin a century can be credited to those whose ambition lies in that direction There will be no reduction In the prices of bicycles In 1899 with the prices of raw materials up as high as they are now According to the supreme court of Michigan bicycles have no right a vehicles upon the roads According to ordinances I certain Michigan cities they have no rights upon the sidewalks What the wheelmen would like to know is what rights a bicycle has and if none I I why I Salt Lake riders do not always realize that they are accorded much more liberal use of sidewalks than In other cities and should not abuse the rights Visiting cyclists always comment on the exceptional advantages enjoyed by Salt Lake cyclists in this respect The latest invention of the A for mulcting race meet promoters is a rule requiring official referees At n11 A meets and allowing the referee to charge railroad fare and expenses The A Is fast digging its grave and digging It good and deep Papa Smith Is happy to think of the narrow escape he has had With an LJA meet on his hands the Law ns Tiirvlllfi and Julius would have I been obliged to sit on the fence and see the little band of local riders goby Columbia college Is at her old tricks again and won the bicycle races In the games with Cornell recently Columbia ha been the undisputed champion of the college tracks for a number ot years An eastern paper states that there are from ten to fifteen wheels per day being stolen Salt Lake cycle thieves are seemingly trying to equal that record for every week several stolen i wheels are reported to the police and cycle stores Wheels can be Insured theft and such insurance against thef will I do much to relieve cyclist of the fear of having his wheel turn up missing some dayS I Sharman will leave for the east I this fall to enter Cornell and will be I son on the Cornell racing team next sea The city council spends hundreds of dollars each year In fixing up the drive around Liberty park There are three wheelmen who ride in the park to one buggy that is driven there and it seems as though the city dads might spend 200 to finish the cycle path which is already graded around the park The city councilman who will father an ordinance or appropriation for this purpose and push it to a successful Issue will receive the grateful thanks of 5000 cyclists and do much to Increase his popularity with the cycling clement The horsemen would also be pleased to see the cycle track finished as it would leave the wide drive open for their exclusive use and benefit The Utah Cycle Path League is growing slowly and the Becks hill side path will be complete this summer A meeting will be called and all the subscriptions up to date will be turned into a common fund and work will be commenced on the south end The century riding craze has died out and i is probable that it will not be revived There was a time when a 100mile In a day was a remarkable performance but it has come to be looked upon as a matteroffact performance and the Incentive for riding centuries has gone The Utah division of the Century Road Club of America has languished and the state now has no state centurian or membership I is probable that some of the fast riders will go after the 100mile record here this year as it is considered an easy mark There is some talk of running a relay race between Salt Lake and Provo Such a ride was made by the riders of the two cities several years ag a message being carried to the mayor of the Garden City and his answer returned The time was slightly over six hours for the round trip This could be cut down considerably by the riders now In training Logan is to have an outlaw meet Decoration Day After June 1 they will probably race under A rules The meet was arranged for before the wheelmen of Logan had learned of the action of the Salt Lake riders in going I over to the California league Big Charlie Wells the Californian who has many friends and admirers in Salt Lake was in the 100mile race with Lawson in San Francisco At one time during the race it looked as though he would gain a lap on the bunch which would have been equiva lent to winning the race He lost to the Swede by only a few lengths A new rule of the A requires that state championships shall be contested only by members of the league A Utah state championship under those fair conditions indeed would be a very dreary af I Dont fail to see the great road race Salt Lake to Farmington Mai 30 There will be fifty men in the race and you can see the start and finish ant have a god view of the riders all along the course Special observation train will leave the Salt Lake Ogden railroad depot South Temple and Third West at 945 a Fare 50 cents roundtrip tripJohn I John Lawson the Terrible Swede rides a Cleveland bicycle He used It in his famous 100mile ride In San Francisco breaking the worlds record for that distance and defeating all the fast professionals the race SCIENCb OF HOMEMAKING Why So Successfully Studied and Practiced In California At the present ruling price of land in California less money will procure land enough to support a family well tl min any other part of our vast country There are in that state thousands of families earning a good living with all the necessaries and many of the luxuries of life and with something laid by each year for a rainy day CTi tracts of from ten to twenty acres Many thousand acres of such land still unoccupied or poorly farmed are now on the market at very reasonable prices say from twenty to one hundred dollars per acre according to location and surroundings So fertile is the soil and so genial the climate that place becomes productive in an Incredibly short space of time Something may be realized even the first ea while the third or fourth year will bring an Income that may be increased from year to year
