Scenes Attending Yeatman's Break.
ing the Record.
Late NEWS OF THE LOCAL BlCYCLISTS.
A Maryland Boy Who Made His
Own Racer.
GOSSIP OF THE CLUBS

Many persons on the Conduit road driving
between the Great Falls and Georgetown on
Monday night were surprised at finding a
number OF bicyclists occupying the road.
At the Anglers Club house there was a
large camp fire, around which sat several
wheelmen who whiled away their time tell
ing jokes, discussing wheel matters and &C.
casionally taking a bite Of lunch. with the
necessary after dinner smoke. At the dis
tributing reservoir there was a large tent
and In this several wheelmen chatted mer-
rily. as the slow steeds Of the country people
on their way to market passed along.
They were there keeping time and tally
on Il. c. Yeatman, the young bicycle rider
of the Washington Road Club, who made
such an excellent run in lowering the twen-
ty-four-hour course record.
All night long and even far into the day
the camp fire was kept going. The night
was dark and dreary and dense fog,
through which the rider had to pass, made
his trip little dangerous as we'll as ex-
tremely unpleasant. Starting as he did Mt
o'clock. he made the first two laps, riding
twenty miles and more in one hour and If
teen minutes. Through the early part Of
the twenty-four hours he kept up to Capt.
Jose's scheduled time to cover 1913 miles,
day. he fell Off just little and reduced the
schedule to something like 800 miles, and this
distance he would have covered had not the
heavy down pour of rain set in and cut Off
his last thirty minutes. AS 1t was, he COW
cred nearly 312 miles and was in good con-
dition when he finished. He was perhaps in
better condition than any of those who
made the effort before him.
When he finished he appeared in almost al
good condition as when he started, but on
account Of the rain he remained at Drills
all night.
Mr.. Yeatman is only about twenty-one
years old, but since he has become identi-
fed with the clubs ne has made many fast
rides, and figured in some interesting race
events. He rode a twenty-five pound Ram
bier machine, and for his good work 1t Is
stated he will be presented with a wheel
similar to the one he rode.
Since Tuesday he has received the con-
gratulations of many wheelmen. and Mr.
Wahl. who last held the record, says he
made great ride.
Some credit is, of course, due his pace
makers for their steady work during the
entire twenty-four hours. and the rider is
given credit for having made excellent
selections. Those who paced him were:
Clarence Lee, E. T. Davidson, Chas. E.
Gauze, c. l. Ronsavile W. H. Dakin Fred
Schade, William Jose, Washington Road
Club. and j. ]. Fister, H. s. Greer and

Club.
