zEloLER's FAST TIME.
The Little Californian Rides . Mile in
.O5.


Sacramento. Cal, Oct 16.-On the
2Sth OF September John S. johnson
caused a sensation In bicycle circles
the world over by riding a mile al
waltham. Mass. in the phenomenal
time of /; 80 3-3.
This wonderful feat was eclipsed In
this city to-day when Otto Zeigler of
San Jose. covered the mile in 80
clipping nearly n full second of the
worlds record. As matter of fact
he did ride the mile In a fraction over
/ 40. but as one of the several watches
made 80 Hat. the judges placed the
official time at that figure
This mile of young Ziegler's Is the
fastest ever run on n bicycle. 1t was
made with flying start and he was
paced by tandem teams. one taking
him three-eighths. another to the five
eighths and the third pacing him to
the outcome.
johnson, however. had an advantage
OF Zeigler In that of experience with
tandem riders for pace makers, while
to the young men who paced Zeigler
the double wheel is new thing.
Therefore the record made by Zeigler
to-day does credit alike to himself and
his pace makers, for prettier work was
never done on the track.
