ton, the T. c. c. flyer, showed no dam aging effects from his recent fall, in the fine riding which he did, and the win nings he made. In the mile open class A, his first race, he met such men as w. F. Sims, of Washington, who made such a remarkably good showing at the Good Roads tournament at Asbury Park last week, Nagle of New York, Guy, Heyer, Alexander, Charles Church of Pennsyl- vania, and many others. In his prelimi. nary heat of this race he qualified easily, finishing second to Sims, in 3. .38 1-5. The final amounted to a quarter-mile race, be- ing a tremendous loaf at the start, the half being in about 2.2O. Newton, tied to Sims at the start, held his place until on the stretch, when he jumped out of the bunch and finished prettily, well ahead of Sims, who was riding hard. The last quarter was done in go 2-5 seconds. The first prize was specially handsome silver tea set with tray. His next race was the mile state L. A. w. championship; a large number of Hartford men were en. tered, and some had announced an lnten- tion to "ride Newton off his feet" but he cleverly kept out of the bunch, leading most of the way, and finished safely with apparent ease. In the trial heat of the handicap he rode his hardest mile, having a limit of 170 yards to catch, but got within qualifying distance at the quarter and rode the remainder easily, the time of the winner Russell, no yds., , being 2.13 3-5. The final promised a battle royal between Newton and Sims from scratch, but at the push off Newton broke his handlebar and stopped, and Sims riding alone, could not catch the bunch the race being won by Walker, of Hol yoke, 70 yds., time 2.13 3-5. A number of enthusiastic delegates from Stafford and Willimantic gave Newton vocal en- couragement and praise, and his quiet de meanor and honest, brilliant riding made him general favorite.
