Six teams were entered yesterday
and are as follows: Ayer, Webb, Dele
u lie, ltilcy, Downing and Seppula. The
eentestants meet this afternoon at 4
o'clock at the Alaska bank to draw
for positions. It is not known yet
whether the teams will start at 6
nni'U.e intervals or with longer In
tervening time. It is understood that
the juuges are to consult the wishes ot
the drivers thl3 afternoon as to this.
Racing men say that the trail over
the Maruihon course is not very fast
owing -o the in.Id wetuher. There is;
Water on Nome river ut the bridge

Piesent conditions ure not favorable.
The donor of the cup Mr. Broden,
especially urged that weuther unu '
tr-.ll conditions should be ideal so I
that a record time for the distance I
snouid be hung up. Dog owners as
wall are desirous of muienig a recoru j
for speed and have trained then '
smugs with this iu view. But, it is
agieeu, the weather must be colder
ter this to be attained. The Judges o.
eth race, Messrs. Perrine, Coie and
McCloy will have the decision as to
whether conditions on Monday are
lueal alter they have noted how
tl .ags are on that day.

o' an ordinary bicycle wheel except
that it is fatter us would be ex

the works that make it go. The op

is a compact piece of machinery anu
it surely works which is the main
thing with new inventions.
