Albert Schock, the worlds champion
elk day bicycle rider, was not able to
keep up with four of William McDer-
motifs running horses for 80 miles yea-
terday and was three.quarters OF a mile
behind whom the last horse finished its
last mile.
Schock took steady pace and main
tanned it for two hours and SO minutes,
but the horses had made tho so miles in
two hours and 33 minutes, and won the
money.
There was large crowd out at Ath-
letic park to witness the race and
though exciting features were not num-
erous good afternoons entertain ment
was afforded those who attended.
At one stage OF the race the bicyclist
was one full lap ahead OF the horses, not
counting the four extra laps the horses
were required to mako on account OF
having the inside and shorter track.
and it was during the last 10 miles that
the gain was made and during the last
five miles that the four extra laps re.
Quired for the horses to make were
overcome by them.
The horses showed good bottom in the
last Eve miles. while the riders. too,
displayed good endurance and pluck.
More horses and riders were ussd than
the articles OF agreement called for, and
it WAS on account of this that the
referee called all bets off. Four horses
were used instead of three. and four
jockeys instead OF two.
Once near the beginning OF the seven.
teenth mile, just ss the second turn was
being made by the horse, the rider fell
and was dragged some distance with his
foot entangled in the stirrup. He pluck.
lily came to his feet. however. and re-
curing another horse succeeded in max =
ing up the lost distance in a few
rounds.
The fastest mile was the sixth. made
In 1858. The horse gained one lap in
the fourth mile, another in the forty
second and third in the forty-fourth.
In the forty-ninth another was gained,
and in the fiftieth the remaining lap re-.
quired was gained.
Schock made the fret ten miles in
1895, the horre in 20 :33. Fifteen miles

Schock rode Fowler machine geared
to rs inches, and to the fact of this high
gearing he lays point OF his defeat.
The machine had on the Morgan &
Wright tires, the same as are used by
johnson and the same that most of the
worlds short distance records have been
made on.
Notwithstanding his defeat, 6chock
stated to HERALD reporter last night
that 1t was his fastest so miles, and he
thought the coast record under aimilar
conditions.
Schock will epdeavor to make another
match with three horses to be ridden by
only two jockeys, and is willing to put
up money that he can win under such
conditions. He is training several OF
the racers at Agricultural park for the
Thanksgiving day races.
