Wheeling has always been the cham
pion of American times. and has ever
protested against the uneportsmanlike
and unjust doubts 20 freely cast upon
any records hailing from America by
certain of the English wheel press. Our
ideas have now received convincing sup
port by the fine rides against the watch
accomplished recently by Zimmerman.
A man is naturally expected to do bet
ter in his own country than in one to
which he is only just getting acclimat-
ized, but last Tuesday, on an English
track, with an English time-keeper,
Zimmerman rode flying quarter in
thirty seconds dead. Had this been ac-
complished on an American track, with
American timers, it would doubtless
have had the usual doubts cast upon its
authenticity, but now perhaps we shall
hear no more against the bona fides of
future records made in America if timed
by known competent American time.

that he is better than our best, for

men are on the qui vive as to whether
Spies will compete in the road race or at
Riverside. 1t is to be hoped that Spies
will make up his mind to take in the
road race, as we need our best men to
compete with Waller, the northern
champion.
