The Cycling Vest of Denver says: ssIt
| is unfortunate that such broad strip OF
country lies between Salt Lake city and
i Denver. With the Utah city enthusiasm
for racing, and the increased interest
takenin the sport in Colorado Springs,
! Pueblo, Cheyenne, Greeley and Lara
ME, Denver and Salt Lake city could
offer inducements which would contin-
ually draw contestants from all around,
were the two cities nearer together"
In the scratch mile cycling race at
Herne Hill, England, Saturday, Sanger
was beaten by the Englishman, Harris.
Sanger came to the front in the second
lap and held the lead until within 200
yards from home, when a splendid tussle
ensued. Harris spurted and won by
yard and half. Time, 2 minutes, "a
seconds. The last quarter of d mile was
run in 29sl seconds, beating the record by
one-ffth of second.

has been reinstated by the L. A. W..

was for making entry to the national
championship races last year. He rode
and won several prizes. The officials
finally discovered that he was not MEM
Der of the League when he competed and
consequently he was not entitled to the
prizes which he won. He at first refused
, to refund the medals, but concluded last
week that he would return the prizes,
secure rel statement and race again.
