Park attracted an immense crowd to day
TO witness the first days sport OF the
fourteenth annual meeting OF the
wheelmen of the world.
The first contest was the one mile
novice race for a $50 gold watch. C.
Van Corckman finished an easy first in
2.344.
Some delay was experienced in get
ting the entries for the half mile Illinois
championship to the scratch. This race
was the most prominent on the list, as
in it were entered the crack riders of
the international wheelmen. AS futile,
Bode, Rhodes and Zimmerman came
out they were loudly cheered, the
slender limbed Jimmy" receiving
the larger part of the cheers. They
were soon in the saddle, and as the
starters pistol cracked the bunch of
cycles surged forward all together until
the numbers Of the men could hardly be
seen. When the quarter was reached,
however, the black suit of Zimmerman
shot out ahead and began to draw away
from the bunch with speed that pro-
voked the audience to the widest en-
thusiasm. Around he sped, finishing
an easy first with his colleagues still
punched lengths behind.
His time was a seconds. The half
mile handicap was won by A. j. Brown.

seconds.
The next race was two mile cham

in front of the stand the crowd cheered
Justify and roar went up as the men
got away with the two rivals Sanger
and Zimmerman side by side in the rear
When the quarter was reached they
spurted to the front, and then began a
terrible contest. AS they cleared the
half the spectators were Mortified to see
the leader waver and fall, and in an
instant there was crash as the entire
bunch ran into him. Sanger's wheel
struck the fence, and threw him head
long over il.
From the mass of twisted tires, bent
handles and broken spokes the rest Of
the racers crawled and linped to their
quarters. while the attendants gathered
up the remains of the once shapely
machines and laid them away in the
sheds.
Sanger's leg was somewhat bruised,
while his companions suffered severe

Ii is the Universal Opinion That He Was
Even Softer Mark For tho Colored
Champion Than Was Jack skelly-It
Took Ton Minutes to Bring the
Defeated Man Back to consciousness.

COMFY ISLAND, N. Y, Aug. Mower
since the Coney Island Athletic Club
has been pulling off pugilistio contests
has such tremendous throng gathered
as the Pierce Dixon bout has attrac ted
here this evening. Every seat in the
house was occupied by the time the
opening bout was put on. Peirce is a
great favorite in this city and the
vicinity. and his admirers came down in
full force.
There were many tally. no coach loads
OF members from the varions athletic
clubs OF New York and Brooklyn, and it
is estimated that there were between
5000 and 10000 spectators in the build
ing.
AT o'clock the exercises were begun
by ten-round bout between Murphy
and Mcbride for purse of ST. 900 Nc.
BRIDE won.
Dixon was the first to appear of the
two who excited the great interest.
he was greeted with wild applause, but
it was apparent from the storm OF
enthusiasm which broke when Pierce
climbed on the stage he was twenty to
one favorlte. 1t was ten minutes of ten
O'Clock when the men began the great
battle. The purse they battled for was
$4,000, OF which the loser received $500.
First round. Dixon led with his left

and made Pierce break his hold. Dixon
caught Pierce again and the round
ended.
Round 9. After q short feint by Dixon
Pierce landed lightly on Dixcns face
and then ducked right hand swing
cleverly. A sharp rally followed, of
which Pierce appeared to have the
advantage. Dixon endeavored to land
his right, but was met and stopped very
cleverly Pierce appeared to nave

round ended.
Round 3. Dixon sent in his left and
sent his man to the ropes. Dixon re
peatedly sent in right and left on
Pierce's wind and jaw and knocked
Fierce silly. He went down and out
after repeated jabs on the jaw that
would have settled bigger and stronger
man than Pierce.
1t was the universal verdict that
Pierce WAS softer mark than ever
Sicily was. He was clearly out. classed
and his aspirations as pugilist are for
ever settled. 1t took nearly ten min.
utes to bring him TO. There was the
widest kind OF excitement after it was
over, and several free fights were
started in different parts of the house,
but owing to the heavy police force
present the scrappers were quickly sep
arated.
Pierce was in no respect the equal OF
Dixon, and majority of the spectators
went home feeling that they had been
buncoed idto thinking that PIERCE was
lighter by the glowing press accounts
that were published from day to day
