A ColOred Man for Justice
of the Peace.

terday morning. An immense amount OF
interest was taken in the race. and the best
riders in the club participated.
1t was an extraordinary event, for nc
| less than seven men came in under the
record. w. Il. Haley of the Olympic Club
set the old mark at 30 minutes and IL sec
onds; but Otto Zlegler finished yesterday
almost exactly minutes under that time,
and six other Acme fers crossed the tape,
each smashing Haley's record beyond al
recognition.
The race began at 10 o'clock. The day
and the course were both perfect, and the
most confirmed kicker had nothing 10
blame his poor riding on. There was
scarcelv a breath of air stirring. and con-
seouently the recor DIS made yesterday can
no, be doubted on that score.
In all there were twenty-one entries. but
for various reasons only nineteen men got
| off. This, however, is an unusually large
percentage Rose did not think himself In
sufficiently good training TO try the race
and DR.. Colvin did not appear. Everyone
| else was on hand when Van Court started
the first man off.
The only casualty of the day was a
unctured tire for Bob French. who con-
tinued on his way. after hasty dis
|
tire.
The most extraordinary exhibition OF the
day was of course the phenomenal work OF
Ziegler the Wizard" as they call him,
| This man starting at a scratch with full
field before him, some of whom were more
than two miles on their way before he
started. still passed ten competitors and
crossed the ia pc with the ease and speed
of hundred-yard dash, lowering all time
on the coast for this distance by three big
minutes.
Decker's work has come in for its
merited quota of praise. he had only 2Es
minutes start of Zieger. yet the wizard
could not make it up and Decker finished
a full minute ahead of hiE:. His actual
seconds under Zieger's. Decker is a
com parativeIy few rider and the Acme
