THE RECORD BROKEN.
L. 0. VAIL Rides 297 IA Miles in TWENTY
Four Hours
Rapid Bicycle Road Riding-Fast Rid
Ing at the End-Fresh and Vigor-
Ous-Ride by Laps.

j. j. F'ister Of the Georgetown Cycle Club
no longer holds the twenty-four hours BIZ
cycle championship of America, for yester-
day 1t was wrested from him by i. c.
VAIL, who held it formerly. The number
OF miles covered by the new champion was
2T Ia. Fister had but 280 to his credit.
Though the feat is considered by bicy-
clists remarkable one, but comparatively
little interest was manifested during the
trial. The Georgetown cyclists did not
even post men along the course to watch
the ride. Capt. Cook said yesterday his
club did not care whether VAIL broke the
record or not. They 0he Georgetowners)
do not doubt. though. that the ride was a
fair and square one, and they indifferently
hand over the honors belonging to the
champion. The only neui raj ones who
watched the ride carefully were Messrs. C.
w. Moore Of Washington and ]. II. Brit
ton OF Philadelphia, who acted as time
keepers at the Anglers Club House. and the
distributing reservoir, respectively.
Their decision was accepted by all con-
cerned without a murmur. Some Balti-
moreans who were backing Wahl stayed
with him greater part OF the ride.
The fastest time made by Wahl was in
the first lap. going over in one hour and
tWenty-One minutes.
AS the hours advanced, and good time
was still being made, Wahl seemed to
grow fresher. In the early hours of the
morning only did he seem at all affected.
Then his legs were discovered to be full of
cold frost and his feet unconsciously numb
from continual treading. A rubbing down
brought him around, though.
The fourteenth and last lap was made in
one hour and forty-three minutes. When
the record was broken and the ride over
Wahi was taken to Brilps Hotel wrapped
In blankets and put to bed. Later he ap-
peared all right and returned to the city.
The start for the affair was made pune
tually at o'clock on Wednesday after
noon, the course being from the distrib-
uting reservoir to the Anglers Club House.

WORKING A BUNCO SCHEME,
Arrest of the Man Who Called Himself
II Consul.

Arrest of the Man Who Called Himself
Consul.
The State Department has received word
by telegraph from Mr.. Charles Shafer
United States counsel at Vera Cruz Mexi-
co, that his bogus double Charles Hamil-
ton Shafer," who had swin6led scores Of
people in the United States, had been ar
rested this morning by the Mexican au-
thorities. News of the arrest was also OBJ
tanned from the Mexican minister in Wash
ington, Senior Romero, and from Mr. But
Ter, charge d affaires Of the United States
legation in the City of Mexico. The dis
patches show that the real name of the pre-
tended consul is William Brennan, and that
he was apprehended at Vera Cruz.
Brennan's extensive swindling operations
were based on an old bunco game. He
sent out to people in this country on pa
per headed" Consulate of the United States,
Perote, Mexico" and signed Charles Ham
ilton Shaefer, consul" letters informing
each that he had been left large fortune
tire amount wiled would be turned over
to him on payment Of the undertakers BILL
amounting usually to forty dollars and
Some cents, which was inclosed. Last
week one OF the letters was sent to the
State Department and an investigation re-
suited in the capture of Brennan today.
About sixty letters from victims have been
received at the department within the Ia st
few days. Brennan will be tried by the
tai laws. There is some doubt whether he
can be eXtradited from Mexico to the
United States on the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenseS.

Speaking Of the reported trouble between
