Half Wheel Ahead of the
Little Demon"
Casey Castleman Might Have Won
But for Mishap.
A Buuoh OF Eleven Riders, Out OF
Eighteen Who Started, Came
Down the Stretch of
the Last Mile.


100 IL. This time is minutes, So
seconds slower than the coast record,
made by Tom McAleer.
There was pretty strong wind blow
ing down the home-stretch, but other-
wise every thing was favorable. The
race was as pretty a one as such o num-
Der Of riders could make it, From the
seventeenth milo to the finish eleven
riders stsyed together ia bunch and
not until the last corner OF the last mile
was turned was there any indication Of
which rider in the bunch would roll
over the white tape first, Ten feet from
the tape Ziegler was in the lead. But
Eduarde pace was the faster and he
shot past the little demon two lengths
of wheel away and touched the white
line one-tifth OF second earlier in the
day.
Osen had kept third place for several
yards down the stretch. Thompson
with "a minute handicap had run in
the lead at the turn, but fell back to
10th place in the struggle on the stretch.
Casey Csstleman did some wonderful
riding and might be the possessor OF
Sohmer piano, as the winner OF the race,
had not the most outrageous OF mis-
fortunes overtaken him. Once on the
lest of the 18th mile his wheel went
wrong and he lost something like
quarter OF mile, having to dismount
and monkey with a wrench, but Casey
had wonderful pluck and more wonder
iul speed. and when the bunch rode
over the tape in the 18th mile finish
CastV was in 1t.
An unfortunate coming together of
the riders in the pa minute handicap
bunch, in the start OF the third mile, let
Mott and Hatten out, though both
piuckily procured new wheels and for q
lew miles tried to recover lost ground.
Burke, of whom n~eA> WAS expected,
dropped out in the early part OF the
race. OF the ak men tho got 214 min
utss handicap only two, Lacy and
Thompson. fniehed the race. Thomp-
con furnished one OF the surprises OF the
day. He led the fe,d on the twenty
fourth mile winding up. and kept his
lead we'll until the last turn. j. w.
Cowan furnished another surprise. For
i've milee he kept in second place.
and in the nineteenth finish was well in
the lead. He won sixth place in the
race.
The riders came on TO the track at
230. 1t was 2:43 when the shot from
bunch OF ~ minute handicap men. La
this group wers Scott, Hatton, Lacy,
Todd and Thompson. The riders kept
well grouped through the first two miles,
aud until the collision on the start of
the third.
In the bunch OF & minute handicap
men were Ulbricht, Jenkine, Wash burn,
Burke and Black. Ulhricht and Black
went to the 'front.' in the bunch during
the second mile, and the race between
those two riders wRs one OF the features,
Until the turn OF the last mile there was
not minute OF time when the wheels
OF the two were over five feet apart. On
the stretch in the final mile Black
pulled ahead and won fifth place, leav.
Ing Ulbrieht for ninth.
Ziegler was the frat man off OF the
ecratch men. Ho turned over the lead
to Osen before the half mile was done,
aud this lead Osen maintained when
the scratch men erased the tape on the
first mile.
On the first mile Rehback led the "a
minute men. After this fell back and
did not tinish the race. Todd dropped
out on the fourth mile. Black led the
AZ minute men for the entire 20 miles.
1hs ecratch men were nicely punched
for six miles, when Kitchin stopped to
change wheels, A few miles further
Kitchin dropped out. On the sixth
mile the scratch men passed the IL
minute men.
Osen led at the finish OF the fifth
mile, and the time was given as IL ;3034.
