DENVER, Aug. 1s.-The closing half hour Of
the Denver Wheel Club and l.. A. w. national
tournament to-day was made brilliant by =
series of record breaking trials. The days races
had been grand In every way, one record only
being broken in competition, the mile, class A,
by Louis A. Callahan in a heat Of the mile
handicap in 2:l1 40. This gives the Buffalo
lad the special $3.50 diamond. lie steps into the
ranks of class B to-day, and may go from hero a
member Of a team. lie has the second fastest
mile of the meet.
A. d. Kennedy Of Chicago lowered the two
mile paced record from 4:15 3-5, made by Tyler,
10 4:15 fiat. lie was paced by Titus and
Cabanne on the tandem for a mile, by W.. +.
Murphy for one-third. G. NJ. Murphy another,
and Taxis and the tandem for the last. This Is
Kennedy's first record. Titus and Cabanne low
cred the mile unpaced tandem record, made by
themselves at Ripon, from 80 TO $50 AS.
Otto Zeigler, the California boy, carried away
the honors of the day, capturing three races
the quarter mile aud one mile national cham
pionships and the mile 800 class. Zeigler low
cred the colors Of every one OF the crack class b
men present and Is I tonight the pride of Denver,
who look upon him as the true son of the mighty
West.
1t has been as Sanger predicted, the Eastern
ers have cracked terribly and not one could ride
for shucks to-day. The men complained more
severely than yesterday of short breath and Of
Jumps In their Threats. The Denver men explain
this AS "A cold that is formed by tho high altitude,
which passes away in ten days or two weeks.
The California men have been here two weeks
and have become acclimated.
To-day's attendance was not one less than ten
thousand. Rain fell during the early part Of the
races, but did not hurt the track. In the heats
of the mile handicap, class A, run during the
morning, Louis A. Callahan, tho Buffalo lad,
went from scratch in the third heat in 2:l1 As,
only two-iftbs of n second outside the mark at
which the mile competition record stood until
yesterday. This established a new competitive
record for class A riders. Callahan went alone
from scratch, and, riding finely, caught the field
on the last lap and won the contest BY thirty
yards.
A. Gardner OF Chicago and Bird of st. Paul,
both scratch men, qualified, and the final was
warm from start to finish. The scratch men had
gotten into the rear Of the bunch on the first
turn. and gradually improved their positions,
until at the last turn Gardner sailed into tho
lead, passing Barnett OF Lincoln, Neb., who had
led for two laps. Callahan followed Gardner
closely. and was giving him a right good rub,
