BICYCLE RACES.
new feature Of the fair this year was she
bicycle races by members Of the Portland
Wheel Club which took place between ths
heats Of the trotting. The track Is not very
well adapted to this kind of racing SO although
the time given below may seem slow It vas
good taking this into consideration. Fifteen
members Of the club were there and about
half participated in the races. There were
three-a half mile and mile dash and slow
race. There were seven entries for the haIf
mile dash. Mr.. Harry s. Higgins won the
first prize, gold bar league pin, making the
half mile in 2.1S. The second prize, an Acme
stand was won by @. @. Tukesbury In 2.25.
In the mile dash there were six started.
This race was also won by Higgins In 4.53, the
first prizs being gold badge. Tukesbury won
the second prize, gold whistle.
The slow race was won by w. R. Pitcher, .
luggage carrier being the prize In this race
the one who takes the longest time TO 60 100
yards without falling from his machine takes
the prize. Mr.. L. j. Carneylactsd as judge.
THE rRoTTNd.
The "horse trot" always ends each day OF
the country fair and always draws the largest
crowd. The one yesterday was a good one In
many respects but the long delays made peo-
pie cross as we'll it ought. Antee j. was the
favorite and won every heat in both races.
Owing to the fact Of his being in both races
the delays between heats were unusually long
and neither were concluded. Messrs. John
Alexander, Elisha Jordan and John Bradley,
the original John who knows all about horses
and races there is worth knowing, were judges,
There were two classes, the one for green
horses, owned and kept within the limits Of
the Society thirty days previous to day, and
the 2 90 class for horses that have not beaten
200, But two haata mara frntkad In aooL A. :.
