ECHOES OF THE CYCLE MEET
NOT A GREAT SUCCESS FINANCIALLY.

MEN WHO WON PRIZES.
Things will be lively to-day at the Madison Square
Garden when the hundreds of wheelmen who fa'r-
Nv burned the track by their speed IN the long list
of races of last weeks tournament begin to re-
move their bicycles and trappings The Garden
will also have that after the performance" fororn
look when the carpenters get TO work tearing down
Things to get ready for the next show an exhibition
of the manufacturers of sporting goods.
The tournament the largest thing OF the KIND
ever held In this country. The best American
riders took part in 1t. and also the principal cham
pions from abroad. The latter did not make much
Of showing. but II is probable that the peculiarly
shaped indoor track had something to DO win H.
with hs many laps to the mile. The only one 10
cut any figure in the tournament at all was Alex
Verheyen the champion of Germany. The others
were disappointment.
AS time goes on and zimmerman encircies the
world without finding conqueror. II becomes more
and more apparent. as one well-known wneeimah
said las, night. that there are no riders In the
American champions class Zmmerman's trainer
wants him to go to Australia.
The bicycle tournament which opens In Philadei-
pha December II makes that quiet place the
Mecca for all the prominent wheelmen now Iini-
merman as we'll as his chum. Wheeler. Will go
there, but Zimmerman said he did not think he
would ride. But all the rest. including Martin. the
foreigners. all the prominent Class men, VINO
turned the table Of records completely topsy-turVy
at the Madison Square Garden last week, Will sure
dy shake things up in "Quakertown." The tourna-
ment is to last nine days.
The tournament at the Garden last week did not
make anybody rich unless it was in experience.
cit seems 10 prove beyond doubt that although the
greatest possible interest is now taken In cycling
by the American people. the time for professional
shows is not yet here. Contrast the dnererce De-
stween last weeks meeting and the open-air meets
of the various cycling organizations of this and
NEARBY cities during the summer
The valuable prizes won by the wheelmen al the
tneeting just closed included the following:
