HALF MILE SAFETY.
D. L. Burke First
> y 0p'' Time, i:9i is. 'seO0no
This race was run in heats, and
strange to relate the fastest half was
made in one OF the heats, and not in the
final. Burke, Jenkins, Stewart and
Muller started in the first heat. Burke
started off with the lead, but was soon
passed by Muller. Burke was not to be
denied, and did some splendid continu-
ous squirting on the last, winning hand
lily, from Jenkins in the good time of
:2035.
Hodgson. Hall, Spier and Cromwell
contested in the second heat. Spier won
with something up his sleeve, Hall just
beating Hodgson for second place. The
time was l :23.
This left Spier and Burke in the final,
as the referee decided to only allow the
first in each heat to compete. Spier
made q gallant struggle, but Burke was
too much for him and won after pretty
contest.
RUNNING BROAD JUMP.

E. W. Hopperatead, II f1et 8 inches. Second
B. A. Benjamin, IL feet Y inch. -. . Third
W. J. Bleesner and A. Brauer also compe ted.
This event was hotly contested. The
winner did splendidly, considering that
he is quite young and beginner. The
record of 1S feet and 2 inches is now the
best Southern California record.
ONE MILE BICYCLE ORDINARY.

Burke won as he pleased. As the time
limit of 2 :55 was not beaten the medals
were wit hheld.
The time limit OF 2:55 was q bad
piece of judgment on the part of the
management. There is not rider in
the west who could have ridden an ordi-
nary on that track in 2:55. In fact, it
would take Zimmerman to reach that
limit. Those who were responsible for
this bungle are apparently not posted
on tie difference in speed ola safety and
an ordinary.
ONE NILE RUN.
P. D. Sktllman First
James Ryan Time, l:4s. ''see0n'
This was procession. Ryan was the
only man plucky enough to meet Skill
man. The Olympic man, however, soon
opened up big gap, ana won by almost
quarter of mile, in the fast time of
4:43. Skillman was applauded for his
fast mile.
W. w. Weller, feet inches. ........... First |
8. Ragisnd, feet inches. Third
N. Biehl also competed. This event
brought out considerable enthusiasm.
Way jumped in good style for an old
veteran, but Weller proved too much
for him. Weller is youngster, and
has pretty style. With little prae.
tice he could doubtless clear over nine
feet.
220-YARD HANDICAP.
G. V. Howard, scratch ................. :. First |
r. z. Alcorn. 10 yards: Second |
B. A. BENJAMIN, scratch. ................T Third |
Time. "a seconds
This was one of the best races of the |
day. Alcorn set out to make the pace, |
with Benjamin in hot pursuit. The pace |
was scorcher and the first 100 was run !
close to eleven seconds. Howard made |
his run in the last hundred and he |
slowly bat surely closed up the gap and |
won brilliant race, just beating Alcorn
on the tape. The time (twenty-four sec.
onds) is very good, and in year there
will be few men on the coast able to |
beat Howard at this distance.
