CHINESE RACE.
The Mongolian bicycle race wss q big
drawing card. and afforded great amuse-
ment to the crowds. The Cinnamon
looked like trio OF scared rabbits, but
kept at work and finished the mile.
The riders were instructed to go "alound
thlee time, then him bell ling and go
heap fast once more" All three were
confident, however, and eager to be
showed from the tape.
The starters were Wong All Fook alias
Jim Wong, Wong Ngui and Charlie
Wong. All of them were ON the score
cards as members of the great Wong
family.
Wong Fook, the favorite, took the
pace for the first quarter, but Charlie
Wong led in the second quarter; Harry
Wong second. Wong Fook third. In
turning into the homestretch in the
half very sad thing happened. Wong
Fook's wheel slipped, depositing its
rider upon the cold, hard and unsym-
pathetic gravel track. Then the crowd
yelled. Poor Wong's face assumed q
very tired expression, and his feelings
were similar to those of Napoleon en-
route to st. Helena. However, the
two other fellows pushed on. Charlie
Wong went ahead in the third quarter,
leaving Wong Ngui away behind.
Around they came in this order for
the last quarter. Charlie, however.
was riding too strong for Harry, and
crossed the tape while the latter was on
the last turn. Harry, however, while
clearly killed off by the end of the half
mile assumed Moses expression and
rode on after Charlie and took second.
Time, 3 :02 2.5.
Wong Fook, however, did not propose
to be beaten out of the first place, but
did not know exactly how to win. A
kind Samaritan in the person of half
jagged travelling man told him to ride
the race over and then protest it. Wong
Immediately jumped on his wheel and
started around the track at lively pace.
In vain did the policeman call to him to
stop. Wong had not been training for
this race for months past for nothing,
and heproposed to ride it out. Seeing

him, the policemen contented them
selves with keeping the track clear while
Wong rode the race over amid roars
the mile Wong gravely went up to the
enter protest which, however, died
abornin.
2.20 YARD RUN.
Ryan took the lead, Howard second.
Hoyt third. The latter ran well, and
taking the outside OF the track on the
turn tried to paes the two Los Angeles
men. They had good lead, however,
and he could not get around them.
When within few yards OF the tape
Ryan drew ahead and won easily,
Howard second, Hoyt third. Jackson
dropped out by the turn. Time, 0:24.
440 YARD RUN.
Howard partially redeemed himself in
the quarter-mile winning easily. Ryan
took the lead, Harrington and Howard
running we'll with him. Howard took
the lead in the stretch, winning in
OBS As.
MILE LAP RACE.
This race consists in scoring the
riders at the end of every lap, the man
having the most points winning. Fox
took the event hands down, in 2:29.
There were only three starters, the rest
of the field having scratched. Fox
took the lead from the start and
set hot pace, getting away from the
two others. He opened big gap which
they were never able to close to any
degree. Smith and Ulbricht were after
him, however, the former dropping be-
hind after the half. leaving the Chicago
man to follow the Riversider. Ulbricht
gained considerably, but one mile was
too short distance to overcome Fox's
lead, who won easily.
Two.MILE HANDICAP.
This WAS q very pretty race, the
scratch men, however, not having any
show. ]. II. Voorhies from the $50
yard mark led the crowd for the first
four quarters, but in the fifth he was
passed by Kitchin, McAleer, Stephen
SON and Hall. They rode in this order
for the rest of the race, Hall laying
back in fourth place until the last quar- :
ter, when he spurted but could not pass
his men. 1t looked like Kitchin's race,
but McAleer made a mighty spurt in
the home stretch and won by short
lead. Time for the winner, Abs 2-5 !;
scratch men, :l0M.
