BICYCLE RACES.
TO THE EDITOR OS THE FRE3S. Sir, —Allow mc through the medium of your valuable paper to say a word or two in connection with the recent test bicycle races which were to decide for the fourth man to make up the team for Sydney. In the first place the three men that challenged Hall had to ride at Lancaster Park, and as we all know Pither was the winner, and of course he had to go to Timaru and try with Hall, and was beaten. I think that it was a gross injustice hot to have had the trial at AJshburton with the four men, where they would have been on a strange track, and then one trial would have been quite enough, instead of one man having to ride two trials, and. one of them on a strange track, but not in any way strange to the winner of the last trial. If the four men had met on the same day 1 believe the result would have been different. Thanking you for trespassing so much on your valuable paper.—l am, &c, A Lover of Fair Play.
