ditons at the second days racing OF the
l.. A. w. tournament here to-day. Inc
audience was we'll pleased with the geou
exhibitions by the crack riders and ap-
plauded them heartily. The recoId-break-
ing was continued from yesterday, and
to-day they were lowered by margins
which left no doubt as to their genuine
ness.
The programme was carried out to per-
lection. but only one race, the last on the
programme, had any bad feature. ms
was the one mile open. class B, in which
j. S. johnson appeared for the first time
during the meet.
The most interest centered in the two
mile championship. the third on the pro-
gramme. and the way the record was low

ovation at the close. Western men had
more luck today, and the California racers

The mile open, Class A race, had field
of eleven riders. Anderson of Illinois set
a hot pace after the first lap, and held his
lead till we'll into the homessretch on the
last lap, when he was passed by Gardner,
also an Illinois man, and Callahan Of Buff

The big race of the day was the next on
the programme. A new pacemaker was
put in at every lap. and Instructed TO make
it a lively one. That they did it can be
told by the fact that the record was

were Gsrwing and l.. G. Johnson. At the
one-mile point Titus of New I ork had the
lead, with Bald of Buffalo and ZiegIer Of
California close up. At mile and third
the pace was so hot that the field began TO
string out. and the famous Sanger was
seen laboring hard almost in the rear. He
dropped out entirely in another lap. At

Ziegler headed poth Murphy and The pace
maker, and won by nearly zoe feet. while
Murphy was the same distance ahead Of
Titus. Zegler was the only man that
seemed to have any wind left at the finish.
The result caused the greatest enthusiasm,
Ziegler being great favorite here.
Bicyclists went nearly wild over the lower

seconds. Murphy might have done better
had he not made his race so early in the
game.
The mile Western championship was
won by Wells of California.
