ruplet, it was found, would not hold the
turns and the record breaker was re-
quired to go with flying start, as zim-
norman did yesterday. johnson was
somewhat blown at the finish, but jubi-
liant. The races of the day lacked the ex-
citing features of the first day until late
in the day. Zimmerman won the one
mile and two-mile open, in 2.23 1-5 and
