seemed willing to measure speed with the other
To-day, however, they had 10 meet. as the prize
of a piano worth $500 and the championship
medal were inducements too strong to be re-
sisted
in each heat TO qualify for the final. The first
run was an exciting 1t was anybody

son won, hut Murphys front wheel Tapped Johr,
sons as they crossed the line. In the second

with the hot pace. II the third heat Gochler MADE
n great rus1 on the last lap and secured good
lead Tyler came after him and with his aston

honors. They went around the ring twice. strung
out in Indian file. and did not change their posi-
tons to any extent on the third and last round
j. S. Johnson pulled away from the crowd and
Tyler and Titus started after him. Johnson held
the lead 10 the head of the stretch when Tyler
caught up and the two came along together at
tremendous speed Tyler slowly pulled slightly
ahead and meanwhile THU. had come up with
q grand rush and overlapped his wheel on
Tyler's. These two men kept this position and
both pulled ahead Of Johnson. so the three wheels
overlapped each other six OK eight inches as
they crossed the finish line Tyler received
mighty cheer from the 5000 spectators when he
came around to the grandstand
