FAST WHEELING.
Auspicious Opening of the Spring
field (Afass.) Bicycle Clubs
Tournament.
New Records Established by Some
of the Flyers in Different
Events.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Sept. 15.-About
1000 people gathered at Hampden Park
to see the first days races of the SPRING
field Bicycle clubs tournament today.
The track was we'll dried out from yes
terday'S rain, and good time was made
in every event. The one-miIe invita-
ton race, in which eight of
the fastest riders OF the country
took part, developed great surprise,
both Tyler and Windle reaching the
tape before Zimmerman, who was ap-
parently not in the best condition. The
field in this event was beautifully
punched all the way to the home
stretch, Tyler being slightly in the lead
and never headed. Willie Wineue fol-
lowed scarcely a length behind, beating
Arthur Zimmerman by half length.
In the half-mile open, Harvey TYLER
and Zimmerman met again. The New
Jersey man won with little trouble,
LumSden, of Chicago, also finished
ahead of Tyler. Windle captured the
halT-mile handicap from scratch in fine
style. In the Imile handicap no scratch
man won place owing to the large
field, but George f. Taylor, who rode
from scratch with Jersey Lightning"
Zimmerman finished fourth in 2:15 %,
which. with the time for three-quarters,
al Is. broke the competition record.
Taylor now holds both the mile against
time and the competition record.
The two Murphy brothers. with A..
Banker. rode an exhibition mile on the
triplet safety, and made new records
for all distances, the mile being run in
2:14. TOmorroW's races will doubtless
be attended by an even larger crowd
than today, as the programme includes
the worlds record race.
