THE TABLES TURNED.
SINNERS Turn to Nin...He Takes the
Second Race Between Gamble
and Himself.

The result of the second five mile race
between Skinner, of Boston, and Gamble
of Davenport, for the championship OF
the United States, was altogether different
from the first of the series which took
place at Davenport Monday evening,
Skinner being the victor at the Rock Isl
and rink last evening. The race was
called at 8 o'clock. the contestants ap>
pearing promptly lns@their racing Co.'S
tunes. Skinner is a much heavier
and is taller man than Gamble is ap-
parently twenty-five years of age.
The judges were Wade Willy. OF Dava
export. and Charles Head, of Moline, and
j. W. Burton, of Oskaloosa, Iowa, was
referee.
At the start Gamble had the lead and
was holding it well when he fell and
Skinner went to the front. but did moi
keep it long, rs Gamble increased his
speed and captured the lead again. which
however, he did not retain but few
laps. when another mishap gave the Bos.
ton man the advantage. Gamble again
got down to work, and again he passed
his opponent and led the next two miles
when Skinner passed HIN, but the local
| flyer exerted himself and went to the
front again. 1t was nip and tuck strug,
gle from this on, the skaters passing eacf
other alternately. Excitement was at its
height, and the audience manifested it
enthusiasm by yells and cheers and shout
of get there, Gamble you're goot
one. keep her up" etc.
On the last mile Gamble showed TIL
lead, Skinner was working hard and il
attempting to pass his adversary, wa
fouled by him, and thrown. The judge
accordingly awarded the race to Skinne
on foul. The time was 1884. Tn
opinion of the audience was that Gsmbl
had won the race, and as far as speed
concerned, he did, especially when th,
number of accidents he conteuded wit
are taken into consideration. Gamble
