Saco, September 1.-The annual fall
meet of the Maine Division, League Of
American Wheelmen, was held here to-
day. There was large concourse of
bicycle riders in town, and they were not
from Maine alone, as Massachusetts, was
we'll represented. The meet was given
under the auspices of the Saco Cycle
Club.
The parade in the morning was not
made much of feature and surprls-
ingly few local wheelmen turned out IN
it. Chief Consul Charles L. Batchelder
was in charge, assisted by Vice Consul
Sherman J. Swift of Belfast and Secret
tary-Treasurer Litchfield of Lewiston.
About Is took part in the parade.
The event of the day, however, was the
annual fall races, which were held at the
,Saco driving park at 2 o'clock. Nearly
1900 people were present, which IS as
large crowd as the track often has. The
races were well contested and ssexciting
and were run off in good season,
The officers were as follows:
Referee-Frank M. Brown, Portland.
Judges-Frank NJ Liscomb, Portland; Arthur
A. Davis Saco Cycle Club; B. Fairfield, York
County Wheelmen.
Umpres-Charles E. Swift, Charles F. Batch
elder and Clarence Goldthwaite, of the Saco
Timers~E. E. Pendexter, Portland; Win w.
Bryant. Biddeford; Walter g. Noyes, Saco.
Clerk of Course-W. w, Mcintyre, Saco Cycle
Club.
The mile novice was prettily won by
Turner of Portland. A time limit of ESQ
was put on the mile open, which fol-
lowed. This had to be run over again as
Dyer won the first time in 2.584. The
time limit was raised five seconds and
was barely reached the second time, as
the contestants wanted to loaf.
Scully of Portland made a good fight
for the quarter mile race but he was a
little outclassed. Scully is one of the
pluckiest riders in the state and the
crowd would have been pleased to have
seen him win.
In the two mile lap race ellison dropped
out the third time round. 1t was a hot
race for the first mile as the men were
out for the prizes offered for each lap.
Gibson was unfortunate in the half
mile championship and slipped pedal
when nearing the finish. He made a
good fight in the mile handicap and beat
out Dyer, who was scratch man. The
field was too fast, however, for ellison.
