| DENVER, Aug. IA grand stand crowd
ed with 10000 spectators, delightful
weather and fast track were the condi-
tions Of the second days racing OF the
League of American Wheelmen tourua-
ment here today. The audience was we'll
pleased with the cool exhibition by the
crack riders and applauded them heartily.
The record breaking was continued from
| yesterday, and today they were lowered by
margins which left no doubt as 10 their
genuineness.
The program was carried out to perfec-
! ton, and only one race. the last on the
! program had any bad features. This was
the ore mile open, class 3, in which j. g.
/ Johnson appeared tor the first time during
/ the meet. The most interesting was the
| two-mile championship, the third on the
I progr am, and the way in which the record
/ was lowered shows what a magnificent
race it was Zeigler. the Californian, was
/ given an ovation at the close.
Wester men have had more luck today
| and the California racers and their friends
are jubilant tonight over the performance
! of Zslgler and Wells. The sport was start
| ed by the half-mile handicap class B, which

/ a handicap of forty yards, took the lead
/ in :he home stretch and won by awheel
/ from Grath of St Louis, who had fifty
yards. Wells time was 59A aud clips 3-5
off the previous records. Bald of Buffalo
made the scratch time one minute, worlds
record.
The mile open, class A, race, had a field
of eleven riders. Anderson of Illinois set
hot pace after the first lap and held his
lead till well III the home stretch in the
last. when he was passed by Gardner, who
is also al Illinois man and Callahan OF
Buffalo.
The big race of the day was next on the
program.
FAMOUS SANGER DROPS OUT.
A pace maker was put on at every lap,
and Instructed TO make it hot one The
pace makers were Coulter, GeTwing and l..
G. johnson. At the one mile point Titus,
OF New York. had the lea6 with Bald of
Buffalo aud Zeigler Of California close up.
At mile and a third the pace was so hot
that the field began to string out and the
famous Sanger was seen laboring hard al.
most in the rear He dropped out entirely
in another lap. At the beginning of last
lap the field was scattered over quarter
of IL mile ana most OF the riders quite eX-
hausted. L. c. johnson was pacing with
Mucey of Brooklyn next and Zeigler next,
followed by Titus. Up the back stretch
Zeigler headed Murphy, and the pace
maker. and won by nearly hundred feet
while Murphy was nearly the same dis
lance ahead of Titus. Zsigler WAS the
only mau that seemed To have any wind
left at the flush. The result caused the
greatest enthusiasm, Zeigler being great
fsvOrite here. BicyclIsts went nearly wild
over the lowering of the worlds record by
nearly eight 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.

big field owing to the fact that the trials
were crowded out in the morning and 81
