! There was good days sport, aud the
! phenomenal work of Osborn Angel, son OF
T. 0. Angel, president OF the club, was
well worth seeing, as 1t not only elevated
the young man to the championship OF
Utah, but established him as one of the
most promising riders in the country. His
superiority in every line of work was es-
tablished by following the one-mile cham
pionship race, by winning the quarter
mile dash, the f-mile dash, and teen, by
very piucky run testing his endurance,
by carrying of the the honors in the two
mile handicap.
The OLD iavorites we're not in 1t.
Harry Browne, who was believed to
have sure thing on at least ore of the
buttons, was trained down too fine.
Browne, Angel, Will Wood and Joe
Wood were the starters in the one-mile
| championship race. The boys punched
up until they entered the last quarter,
when Angel began churning his pedals at
q velocity that sent him TO the front like q
Nancy Hanks finish. VIII Wood took sec
ond money and Browne finished in third
place. Time--3:33 l-3.
Holger Jensen won the half mile race
for boys, ten, to fourteen years, in two
straight heatsin :494 and :4615. Patter-
son second, and Albert Angel, the little
brother of the champion, third.
Osborn Angel, Joe Wood and Will Wood
started in the quarter mile dash, but the
old fayorltes could not keep up their lick
with the new wonder, who fairly flew by
them at the finish, making the quarter in
;3754 Joe Wood finished second and Will
Wood third.
The half mile club championship was be-
tween Angel, Ingram and Emise and they
| finished in the order named. Time-1:i9.
The race OF the day was the twomile
| handicap, and it could not have been more
exciting as all the men were spaced out to
even them up. Hall was given $40 yards
lead, Game 400 and Robbins and Hazel
grove 800 each, with Angel md Will
Wood on the scratch. When the word
was given Hall's big start made him look
like winner. and Gaines long lead gave
him good courage and he made the most o;
it. Ali the boys got down to business and
Robbins and HRzelgrove kept up q lively
chase on their OVID account. But all eyes
were conferred on Angel and Will Wood,
the former trailing on the latter's wheel
without making any effort to head him
until he entered the last half mile, when
Angel got down to his fine work. But the
gap appeared too big aud there were not q
dozen persons who believed he could over
take Game and Hall.
In brilliant dash for the home stretch
Angel gradually ran down all the men on
thu course, and the finish between him and
Hall and Game was so close 1t fairly took
ones breath, Angel barely winning by q
scratch, Hall second and Game third
Time, sos.
Emise, Johnson and Ingram started in
the 80 class, but Charley became weary
the heat with e Mise good second. Time
2:5S15. Ingram and Emise were
sent Tor the second heat and ingram
had safe lead, but he lost his balance ano
Eunise, who was right along. took the hea,
by scratch In 2 :o9 As.
This gave Ingram and Emise heat each
and the judges announced that as it wa,
getting late the race would be finished
today.
There is fine programme reserved fol
today and there will be great sport fol
those who attend.
