South and Lafferty's lead had been
cut to IS yards. At the first turn on the
south drive, Ingham had caught both
LaHerty and Angel, Harding being hope
lessly in the rear. The three leaders kept
these positions around the second turn
into the west drive and as far as Tenth
South, where Ingham pulled out from
The bunch, but was run into by horse,
Angel passing to the lead and setting the
pace for the finish. At about $50 yards
from the tape, Ingham passed Angel and
kept the lead, winning in 1857, Angel
second in 1857 2-5, Lafferty third IN 15:4O,
Lafferty's actual time being 1850, count
ing the handicap. The gold medal has
now been won once by Angel, Browne
and Ingham. 1t must be won three times
before becoming the property of the win

The granite blocks between the rails of
the Rapid Transit railway on Second
South resemble nothing SO much as a
horizontal stairway. Whoever laid them
was surely cross-eyed or simply threw
them in and filed up the holes with sand.
DR.. Utter is veteran wheelman and
may be seen most any day astride OF his
q. o. o., the doctor has not descended
TO a safety as yet, but pneumatic tires
have charms that no one can resist and
the doctor is sure to make trade pretty
soon.
Candy, of Denver, who is here in the
interests OF the Victor, says we have one
of the best tracks in the country. CANDY
challenged Papa Jensen to a one-lap dash
last Friday, but "crswfshed" when Jens
brought out an old-time spring fork for
@. c. to ride.
A wheeiman coming south on Main
street a few days ago stupidity turned to
the left. running into a ncrth-bound
wheel as the latter could not get out of
the way. There is no excuse for any one
turning to the left. The custom of this
country is to turn to the right and should
be strictly adhered to in order to avoid
accidents.
One of our local wheelmen seems to have
a faculty for getting mixed up with teams.
AS long ago as the first road race in the
TALL of '92, he found a wagon in his way
and concluded not to finish. His last ex-
perience came nearly proving serious,
both the wheel aud wheelman being run
over. Fortunately the wheel was the
only real sufferer, as our friend escaped
with few bruises.
Several amusing incidents occurred at
the recent races. One party was endeav-
oring to secure bets on a certain rider
who was entered in several fast events.
The rider won one prize-in the consola-
ton race. Another rider pushed around
three laps and purposely took header
into the grass at the upper turn. This
same rider started in the consolation.
Finding he could finish no better than
fourth, he pulled up at the trees at the
three-quarter pole and laid down. But
he's going in for blood at the October
races
