as result the afternoons pastime was

mary Deo pie.
.IEe handicappi ng was not as good as IL
might have been. In some of the races
the fnis hes were poer, and the scratch
men mad no po ssible chance of catching up
with their opponents. 1t was suggested
that some young man who was conversant
with the racing abilities of the wheelmen
Of the pre- sent day should be given the
position Of Handicapped, which, to say the
least. is anything but pleasant task.
In the third heat of the quarter-mile
dash, class a. the coast competition
record was lowered by 4. Reid of the Bay
City Wheelmen, who covered the distance
in 81 As seconds.
The rider who received a great ovation,
was cOngratulaHng himself on his good
fortune when the QuaTteT-mlle dash, class
B, was called. Otto Zegler Jr. of the
same club was among the contestants, and,
to the surprise of Reid and his jubilant
friends, Zeger cut one second of the
time made by Reid, thereby capturing the
honor which Reid had held for the short
time of ten minutes. It is hardly neces-
sary to remark hatZiegleT, who is scarcely
10 years of age, was the hero of the day.
In the three-mlle team lap race Eben-
ritter and Wells represented the San Jose
Road Club. They went into the contest
more for show than anything else, and
after riding lap or two at slow pace, SO

their beautiful shapes" they quit, much
