DENVER, Aug. IA grand stand
crowded with 10000 spectators, delight
ful weather and perfect track were
the conditions at the second days
racing of the l.. \. W. tournament
here today. The audience was we'll
pleased with the good exhibitions by
the crack riders and applauded them
heartily. The record breaking was
continued, and they were lowered by
margins which left no doubt as to their
genuineness. The programme was
carried out to peri ection, and only
one race, the last one, had any bad
features. This was the one-mile open,
Class 3, in which }. s. Johnson ap-
peareG for the first time during the
meet. The most interest centered in the
two-mile championship, the third OH
the programme, and the way the record
was lowered shows what
Magnificent Race
1t was. Zeigler, the Californian, was
given an ovation at the close.
Western men had more luck today,
and the California racers and their
friends are jubilant tonight over the
performances of Zeigler and Wells. The
sport was started by the half-mile
handicap, Glass B, which had ten
starters. Wells, of California, with a
handicap of forty yards. took the lead
i'll the stretch and won by length from
Grath, of St. Louis. who had fifty yards.
Wells time was 0:594 and clips three
fifths off all previous records. Bald. of
Buffalo, scratch time, 1900, worlds
record. The mile open, Glass A. had a
field of eleven. Anderson, of Illinois,
set hot pace after the first lap, and
held his lead till the last lap, when he
was passed by Gardner, of Illinois. and
Callahan. of Buffalo.
The big race of the day, the two-mile
national championship. was the Dext on
the programme. A new pacemaker was
put in at every lap and instructed to
make it a lively one. That they did cau
be told by the fact that the record was
lowered six and four-tifIh seconds. The
pacemakers were Coulter, GerWiDg and
J.. G. johnson. At the mile Titus, of
New York, had the lead, with Bald and
Zeigler close up. At mile and third
the pace was so hot the field began to
seen laboring hard near the rear. He
dropped out entirely in another lap. In
the beginning of the last lap the field
was scattered quarter of a mile, and
most of the riders quit exhausted.
Johnson was pacing, with Murphy, of
Brooklyn, next, and Zeigler coming up
fast, followed by Titus. Up tile back
stretch Zeigler headed both Murphy
and the pacemaker, and won by nearly
hundred feet, while Murphy was the
same distance ahead of Titus. ZeigIer
was the only man who seemed to have
any wind left at the finish. Tie result
caused the greatest enthusiasm, Zeigler
being great faYOrite here.

have done better had he not made his
race so early in the game.
