DENVER, Col, August 1S.-The clos
Ing days racing Of the wheelmen's tour
nament was witnessed by the largest
crowd during the meet. Not an acct
dent Of any kind happened to mar the
days pleasure, and the races were thor
oughly enjoyed by the 1000 people
present.
Zegler, the "little demon" from San
jose, CAL, was the hero OF the day, and
the question, "Who will take thinner
mans placer" was answered by his per-
fOrmances.
The first race on the programme was
the two-thirds mile open, class B. 1t
was an exciting contest. Bald, OF Buff
falo, and Wells, OF California, raced
down the stretch neck and neck Bald
winning by two inches.
The quarter mile National champion
ship mad eight starters, Ziegler kept up
his championship work Of yesterday by
leading from the start and finishing first
by half a wheel. A shower just before
this race made the track too heavy for
record time. The half mile open
Class B had six fast men, including
Sanger and Titus. In the stretch San
ger shot past Wells and won, with
Titus close third. Gardner, Of Illinois,
who has been riding very fast during
the meet, won the class A, quarter
mile, easily.
Ziegler again distinguished himself
In the 2;20 class for class b. He and
Boles, of Denver, who got Sc cond
place, received an ovation at the close.
The one mile national championship,
which was the big race OF the day,
brought the Californian to the front
once more. Having already won two
races to-day in fast company, many
thought he might not hold out. After
the race it was conceded that he is a
strong candidate for Zimmermsn's
place rs champion of America.
After the regular program had been
run OF several trials sJ the record
breaking was made. The first to ap-
pear were L. D. Cabanne and f. j.
Titus for the mile unpaced tandem rec
ord of 1850. They made the mile in
1:46 As.
Then A. d. Kennedy, Of Chicago,
