Every story has two sides. Here is the
Atlanta Constitutions version Of its failure
TO pay Durant any prize; There
has been considerable talk in the last
day or two. inspired by an alleged interview,
since repudiated, with I'd Durant, con
corning his failure to receive the first prize
money as the winner of the bicycle race be
tween himself and Walter Howard, about
which the public is already informed. 1t was
understood at the beginning Of the race,
under the terms Of the agreement signed by
both Mr. Howard and Mr.. Durant. that the
race was TO be run TO the Columbia hotel IN
Chicago, and that neither OF the parties were to
use any other form of lOcOmOtiOu than their
bicycles, and that the winner was to receive
800 and the loser $50. The purse was offered
between the journal and the Constitution,
simply as matter of public interest, IN the
hope that genuine race would create con
siderable enthusiasm and would furnish an IN
teresting news item during the run. As both
Mr.. Howard and Mr.. Durant, in voluntarily
violating the signed agreement, declared that
there was no race, both the journal ana the
Constitution agreed that the peculiar termi-
nation of the contest invalidated the prize Of
fer. and either of the papers would have
willingly given several times the amount pro
posed to have had the race conducted to an
undisputcd finish rather than have il assume
the peculiar phase taken on by the under
standing between McssrS Howard and Du
rant. by which the race was voluntarily de-
clared Off with neither competitor winner.
When the news was received from Chicago.
Mr.. Cabaniss OF the Journal announced
that. so far as he was concerned. he
would not pay his SIS, as the promoters
Of the race had been disappointed and the
terms of the contract had been purpOsely VlO-
lated. The Constitution did the same thing
and thus ii is that neither of the two parties
paid their part of the conditional prize, nor
did they think, under the circumstances, that
the participants of the race would ask for 1t.
This is the situation. and this is why the prize
money was not paid in the Chicago bicycle
race, though both papers have always an
nounced that they would willingly pay the
award If the contestants would say that the
terms of the agreement had not been VIC
lated, and if they would say that the contract
had not been purposely declared off by the re
markable decision 70 invalldate the racing
feature which was the very basis and the only
basis on which the contest originated. As
there was no race, there was no prize
